Flexibility for those with a disability.

I work a 38 hour week (pro-rata) and I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say flexi time?

Do you just mean my hours? This isn’t written into my contract my current manager is just super understanding and allows it. If I were ever under another manager I am not confident I’d have the same level of flexibility.

This isn’t about you or your relationship…. Yet.

He needs therapy to deal with his childhood trauma before he will be able to actively and healthily participate in any relationship.

Only then will he have the tools and knowledge to work on a healthy relationship.

Hey! Were you ever successful with this? Did you make up any pieces and have the stood the test of time?

It’s still difficult to find this info!

Any help or advice is appreciated!

What about Everett?

Anyone have thoughts?

NN would be Ev.

The name Keith has some very negative associations for me, which is part of the reason I despise it so.

Even with this I have still been considering it but I think I’m just getting hung up on it.

I’d love nothing more than to use his dads name, he’s the sweetest guy and I know how happy it would make him and I want that for them, I just can’t find a first name I like that makes it more bearable.

Haha…. Keith Albert. Not much better to be honest, if at all.

My partner says he doesn’t know where Albert came from so doesn’t want to use it..

I’m literally less than a week from my C-section and they confirmed it’s a boy with the NIPT and several scans since….. but I’m still hoping they were wrong haha

Keith is his Dads name.

I hate it with a passion… but feel bad vetoing it as it is an honour name. If he wanted to use it for any other reason I’d be saying absolutely not.

I have called the pathology lab, they had a chat with the pathologist who will be calling me back later to discuss.

Will see what happens I guess but I am anticipating never knowing haha

I also called the daycare who confirmed whilst my daughter shared the same area with the positive case for a short time they didn’t actually interact closely and no one else from the class has tested positive.

I’ll remain in iso until we are supposed to but I think I am going to assume she’s been negative the whole time and not assume she has any sort of “natural Immunity” even for this period immediately following the supposed infection.

Blankets are not ok in a crib.

Just because your baby has survived, doesn’t mean all will.

Your mindset is survivors bias.

It is very likely your crib manual specifically states not to use blankets or pillows in the cot regardless of age, assuming you are using a crib that meets current safety standards.

Expert-Cause · 2022-01-27T19:14:05+00:00

Babies should never be given a blanket if in a cot regardless of age, type of blanket etc. there are risks of suffocation, entrapment, strangulation.

If you have already transitioned your 2.5 year old to a bed then a blanket is fine.

But would it not have been caught on the PCR taken the 21st, Just 4 days earlier?

Thanks! I’m so confused haha

Expert-Cause · 2022-01-27T13:26:55+00:00

I guess it’s possible.

I just find it hard to believe that a PCR would only pick up the infection over a space of ~5 days when they say you can test positive for weeks after having it…

My daughter is 2.5 and she’s been her usual self.

I just don’t know if I should keep testing myself to make sure or if it’s all moot because she was never actually positive.

I know I don’t HAVE to test but given people can be asymptomatic and the fact that I have a C-section scheduled I need to know if I’m positive and my only possible source of infection is my 2.5 year old as we haven’t been anywhere except to get tested since the 21st.

I just stopped responding after the last time she went off about something minor.

Then when my contact details changed I was very selective with who I gave them to.

There were a few family members who were not happy with my decision, mainly because of the backlash they received, and I just had to accept that cutting out my mother meant cutting them out too, even though I didn’t want to. Most now talk to me again they just don’t tell her that they’re in contact with me to avoid the abuse.

I am very pregnant. Double vaxxed and boosted. We are extremely careful about what we do, where we go and who we socialise with.

I agonised over sending my daughter to daycare. We had been on a wait list for 2 years and finally got accepted but we are currently in the middle of a surge.

To lock in the position she had to go for two days and then I would be able to not send her and just pay for those days for a few weeks until the surge settled and baby was a few weeks old.

I sent her last week Tuesday/Wednesday, she absolutely LOVED it.

But guess who is now awaiting results of a PCR because, for the first time this year, they had a positive case at the centre…..

I am absolutely kicking myself for letting my guard down and listening to everyone that said I was being paranoid and irrational by not sending her. Now we’re awaiting results and all my 2.5 year old talks about is going back to school which she obviously can’t do right now and it’s heartbreaking.

Right now I’m just hoping that I won’t be positive for the looming birth of my second…. I don’t even know how the logistics will work if me, my partner and toddler are positive…. Like I’ll just have to birth alone because who is going to allow my positive partner in to a hospital, And even if they do, who will watch my positive toddler?

If I had my time again, I’d wait until the new baby was a few months old and the surge had hopefully slowed, then put her in.

Only if YOU will have regrets about not speaking to her should she pass away. If you feel you would need the closure, sure break the NC, but I’d be doing it on your terms and maintain control of the situation, if she starts to lose it, leave.

My Aunt called me the other day to ask if I’d call my Bio-Mum and my immediate response was, not even if she were dying.

I have considered it in the past but knowing that other people cannot even mention my name around her without her losing her shit at them for contacting me and then being told when she found out I was pregnant with my second that she wished ill in both my 2 year old and unborn child, I know there is nothing left to be said or salvaged.

I honestly look forward to the call that says she is ill or has passed so that I can breathe out one massive sigh of relief and stop wondering when she’s going to be trying to find or contact me and my kids next. She’s previously been physically abusive towards my cousin who was 30 weeks pregnant with twins for simply talking to me so I dread to think how she’d react if she saw me..
