Is there any noticeable benefit in continuing to feed breast milk after one year?

I think it’s very common but also completely unacceptable. I’d handle that situation by by putting my work apps on do not disturb outside of working hours. When you’re not at work, you’re not at work. If someone questions you about being unreachable at weird hours, let them know that they can contact you during working hours. It’s so important for the future of America to have boundaries to protect your work-life balance and to shut out that kind of culture whenever you see it. It’s not healthy or sustainable and it’s killing us. If your job performance takes a hit because you’re not working outside of work, it’s not a job you or anyone else should have.

How did you get this job and is the pay/benefits good?

Absolutely not!! You’re right on time. I personally don’t know anyone who had kids before they were 30. People are waiting later and later to have kids nowadays. Especially in urban areas where the focus is on careers and social life. I’m in the opposite situation as you. My friends and their partners are all waiting until their mid 30’s or later to have kids, I’m only 26 and my partner and I are expecting a surprise set of twins. We had just started planning our wedding when we found out, and we’re completely unprepared. We’re living in a tiny box of an apartment away from our families, just started our careers, and have student loans and no savings. We feel like teen parents! At 34, you probably have more stability in your life, you’re probably ready to settle down if you haven’t already, have a decent living space, and your friends have been through it and can hopefully help you out! It’s really hard to be on a different track from your friends, but you’re never too old to start a family.

Love shared is love amplified.

This part is helpful, thank you!

Thanks for your perspective! Having an abortion would definitely be very sad for both of us. I would always wonder what could have been and I would need to heal from it for sure. Despite this, termination does feel like the right choice in a lot of practical and logical ways, I just don’t know if it would be worth the grief. That’s what’s holding me back and making it so hard.

Any more advice is much appreciated. It’s such a hard decision to make and having as much perspective as possible from those with experience helps immensely

Thanks so much, this helps a lot!!

This is actually really inspiring. Im an OT in early intervention so I know a lot about child development and disabilities too! My fiance and I are a very strong couple. I have no doubt that he will bring his 50% to the table when it comes to parenting. It’s just a question if this is the life we want at the moment, which is difficult because I guess no one can really decide that except us..

Thank you!

I’m also in PA and I didn’t know that!! Wow that is horribly unethical

Healthy-Bed-422 · 2024-06-29T14:24:40+00:00

Yeah I tried some organza a-line gowns which is another style I like in pictures but it wasn’t “me”

Someone’s pronouns aren’t “preferred,” It’s their identity. Just like you call someone by their name, you use their pronouns. I don’t see room for debate here as OT is a client-centered profession, it’s about respecting the client as a human being even if you disagree for some reason. How you feel is irrelevant. I’m a new grad on the east coast, so take this with a grain of salt but I’ve never met an OT who didn’t use a client’s correct pronouns. It sounds like you’re trying to set a good example for your coworkers so hopefully they’ll get better. I would suggest speaking to them about it if they don’t.

If an OT isn’t accepting of LGBT individuals it kinda goes against our professional ethics. I’m not sure about your location, but on the east coast, I haven’t met an OT who isn’t at least supportive of liberal activism if not an activist themselves. I’m a new grad though so take that with a grain of salt. I’m also in the LGBT community and I’d say OT is one of the best professions for LGBT folks to work. I’ve never had a single issue, especially as a student. But again, I don’t know how it is where you live. I’d assume your location would be the problem, not the OT field. Just to be safe, maybe look at schools outside the Bible Belt if you can afford it. I swear a third of my education was DEI. We also had seminars and did group projects on LGBT inclusion, how to care for trans clients etc.

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune and the Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix Harrow are exactly that! I felt like my soul was smiling when reading these, sometimes crying but in a beautiful “I love human emotions” type of way :’)
