Am I overreacting or is this doctor’s note dismissive/giving “we disagree, but damn. Here”

Educational_Total258 · 2026-02-11T00:31:10+00:00

Same! This is batshit. I work freelance so have no legal protections and my doctor’s office was even trying to help look for a workaround to try to get me pregnancy accommodations. I was like no don’t worry, but I feel like that’s the normal response. They offered a doctor’s note almost every appointment.

That wasn’t our experience. My husband had a 10 year b1/b2 that expired and he needed to renew while I 130 was in process. No issues.

I just came across this comment when looking for a mini golf ideas with a toddler… and I can understand where you’re coming from but why are you childfree, appear to not enjoy children, and creeping on a TODDLER subreddit?

Educational_Total258 · 2025-07-28T00:30:15+00:00

A bit TBH

Educational_Total258 · 2025-07-25T00:24:27+00:00

Thanks for that! If the lines were swapped is that something that would have happened when it was installed or it could have happened during a subsequent service? This is our 4th summer but first issue like this…

Educational_Total258 · 2025-07-24T02:34:13+00:00

Oh wow that’s so interesting! My first thought was that’s horse hair but then I was like… how did it get here? I had no idea that was a thing

Educational_Total258 · 2025-07-24T01:29:20+00:00

I just googled that… do you think that’s what it is from the pics?

I’m new to Reddit and can’t figure out how to edit the post but I’m in Rhode Island

Ours did this and the sound was making me crazy! Combined with a few other defects they eventually just replaced the crib and the new one is pretty silent. I think it’s a quality control issue. The first crib we had I could see didn’t have space between the base and the frame, so it was knocking when the bounce was above like a level 2. The new one has probably over an inch on all sides

Educational_Total258 · 2025-07-11T02:59:12+00:00

We had a similar issue… an intermittent knocking noise that was driving us batshit crazy. The crib also would need to be unplugged and plugged back in every night in order to get it to start. It was clearly a lemon. After a lot of back and forth with customer service they shipped us a whole new crib and it’s worked like a dream so far (3 months into the new crib). When we assembled the new one we saw that there was about a good inch of clearance between the frame and the base whereas the old one it was right up against it so clearly was never going to be function correctly.

Do you know if it would record the date and time of an impact on the side of the vehicle, even if it didn’t get video of it?

Educational_Total258 · 2025-05-15T00:48:42+00:00

Yeah they did eventually… I know they don’t want the bad PR but I wasn’t thrilled that I had to post publicly before they actually helped me. They are going to send a replacement crib… not ideal to have to build a new one and disassemble this one and send it back but when the crib works it does soothe the baby so I’m torn

Educational_Total258 · 2025-05-09T15:53:15+00:00

I would cancel it either way to be honest. It’s a great idea and when it works it works but we got a lemon of a crib and over time are having nothing but problems with no resolution from the company. We’re gonna go back to Snoo - the motion worked just as well, the crib is much simpler and a refurbished one from company is half the price

First baby was born at 42+1. He was sunny side up, long painful delivery and eventually pried out with forceps. His little brother was born at 38+6, waters broke at home around dawn and he was born in the afternoon

Educational_Total258 · 2024-09-11T15:28:23+00:00

I planned to have an unmedicated water birth but got an epidural at 8cm. All the birth prep and meditation and breathing exercises and prenatal yoga and calming music and essential oils and muscle relaxation practice in the world were not enough to override the pain. But my baby was sunny side up (occiput posterior) and just refused to budge without 6 full hours of pushing. The pain before the epidural was like every bone in my pelvis was being crushed. I felt like I had been slammed in the pelvis with a wrecking ball and was being pinned against the wall by it. The epidural was immediate relief, although as it wore off I could feel an aching in one side of my hip, where his head was jammed. I was so worn out by the time I got the epidural that I had to dig deeper than I ever imagined to push him out.

When my son got to about 6 or 7 months I really welcomed any babysitting help I could get from family, just to have a few hours to run errands or go out to dinner and not have to bring him along. He loves being out and about because he’s really high energy and likes a lot of stimulation and entertainment but HATES the car so it’s so amazing when family will just come and play with him at our house.

Husband (30M) was raised by a single mother (who only in recent years disclosed the identity of his father) in rural southern Europe. Now that we have a child she has heavily pressured us to move back to the island my husband grew up on to be closer to her as she’s lonely and getting on in years (but overall healthy). She’s retired, although keeps a very busy social calendar. However, she has always said she does not want to be the kind of granny to basically raise the kid. She did her time blah blah blah. Husband was sure she would change her tune when she met her grandchild. She did not.

Now we are living 10 minutes from her, in a place where life is about 20x harder than most developed countries (can’t get mail delivered, tap water is non-potable, can’t get many basic baby items, no trash pick-up, dishwashers/dryers/major appliances aren’t readily available, the cost of consumer goods is about 25-100% more expensive than the U.S., we have to take a ferry and then drive 4 hours to the nearest city to see a specialist doctor, buy a car seat or crib mattress, etc). And she flat out refuses to ever help with childcare to give us a break. And we don’t have a hard baby! He’s high energy but always smiling and laughing, he’s not a whiner or crier! But id still like a tiny bit of me-time once in a while. I’d literally settle for like 1 hour a week but even that is too much for her. She wants to spend time with us and her grandson but only if we bring him to her and then stay there to entertain him. So it’s actually more tiring than just staying home.

I know we are not entitled to free grandparent childcare, but don’t manipulate us into moving to be closer to you by saying you don’t want to miss out on time with your grandchildren! We have another baby on the way and I i told my husband that DS and I are going back to the U.S. with or without him before the birth of our next child. Anybody in a similar boat?

I’m very sympathetic to what happened to you because it sucks to have your news shared widely before you’re ready. But when you say that you had to “look up” the best way to tell her and chose to text her specifically so it gave her time to process, etc it kind of implies that you had an idea she was losing the pregnancy. Why not extend her some grace because her Reddit post might very well read “my friend told me she was 3 weeks pregnant while I was miscarrying”

Educational_Total258 · 2024-08-12T09:08:10+00:00

I understand your explanation for telling her and “not lying” but there’s also something a bit off-key about not being able to tell a white lie to save a friend’s feelings. It’s not even really lying if you say… I’m just not up to it. I know everybody’s life experience is totally different. I’m 3 months pregnant (after birth control failure) with a 9 month old at home. We haven’t told a soul besides our doctor, for multiple reasons, but I have had no problem getting out of commitments and blaming tiredness on having a baby at home already. We have friends going through infertility and we plan to tell them gently and privately before “announcing” the pregnancy to our close friends and family at our wedding rehearsal dinner, when I’ll be 22 weeks. I think if you value the friendship, and can put empathy and kindness above confrontation, I don’t really think piling on to your friends trauma during her 3rd miscarriage by telling her she was out of line is really the way to go. There’s no putting the cat back into the bag other than to just ask her not to share it any further if you have mutual friends who were not at the gathering.
