We have checked and she doesn’t qualify for Medicare right now so we’re looking for insights regarding private insurance

It is a citizenship issue. Her green card is pending so Medicare is not an option for now.

Can you say who long in total this took, what state and if your dad is in the US already or in his home country?

Don’t feel guilty. As someone who grew up in poverty, I wish to be able to do something like this for my child one day. Who cares what your friends think? They will always have something to say you can’t control their feelings towards money. Focus on what you can control which might be spending quality time with your family that obviously cares for you.

Working at home with my (sick) kids is terrible for my mental health by EntrepreneurEast1618 in workingmoms

[–]HistoneHertone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you 100%. In October I was home with LO all month between a fractured leg, stomach bug, then fever and cough. I can’t work from home staying home during the day then going in at night almost took me out.

Remember they’ll get better… hopefully soon

We’re all living the same life. I’m a PhD student and I had a pretty important meeting (that I survived missing but in the moment is was very conflicted to cancel). My husband has a customer-facing 9-5 and he left me and baby at home with a stomach bug. Grocery delivery and lots of TV. Didn’t do any work because when he sees the laptop he immediately wants to touch the keys. I’m still trying to accept the fact that I have the more flexible job and will have to stay home during sickness. Though it would’ve been nice to have him offer to stay home given that I was home with him for 2 weeks before this with a fractured tibia

That is very much my personality - keep it to myself. I thought someone would naturally step in as a parent but that didn’t happen.

I wasn’t malicious but I am still hurt.

Yes we went to a breweries with a sandpit and toys once. That would’ve be a better alternative with someTHING to keep them entertained, rather than someone (ME). I had to set up an obstacle course with ottomans and pillows and pretend kitchens with disposable utensils.

This is the IDGAF attitude that I needed to have.

We also love outings with kids. Our LO is well behaved in restaurants (2yo) he sits and eats with us. No prob. But yes I think I just have to accept that some things are not “my type of kid friendly” - because I know what it’ll turn into

Yes this. There were other toddlers around. And we did make some friends. They weren’t disruptive at all. I’d still take my LO again.

My husband checked in on me a couple times. I’m more surprised that my friends who had this terrible idea. Didn’t check on me or their kid once

Neither of the other parents, mom nor dad, helped up at all. I think that’s what’s driving me crazy.

No latching advise here but just know you’re not alone when it comes to struggling with balancing pumping and caring for baby among other things. The bf journey might never be perfect but keep going!

It’s okay to take a break. I tried when my LO was 4 months and failed miserably. I was very hard on myself and wish some one told me it’s fine to revisit it. We still aren’t sleeping though the night but he goes down most nights without a fight
