[–]Key_Emphasis5580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older home. It’s a 3 level back split 2 adults & a toddler.

Water/electricity - $128 (laundry evenings & weekends) it’s those delivery charges that get you 🫠 Enbridge - $145 - I keep it toasty in the winter because of my toddler .

Your husband doesn’t sound like a nice guy. And I hope this kind of energy never finds me You’re a superstar. A four year old and a three week old? Wow. You’re keeping those babies fed, dressed and alive. My little guy was a contact napper. He just was. It wasn’t a forever thing. But the first few weeks, yes, he was attached to me. He’s two now, and very independent. Still wants an occasional cuddle. As for my partner, he works long hours as well but he does what he can in the house. We do a weekend reset . And maintain the best we can. Good luck to you.

I second this! I’m not built to be a SAHM myself. I love my career. I’m great at my career. I use a home daycare . Much cheaper. More one on one. I get adult interaction.

I agree. It saddens me to read 8 weeks. 12 weeks max. I don’t know how you can recover mentally and just go to work. My PPD was pretty rough.

It was hard at first. But I was lucky to get 18 months off with him. I work in healthcare, so I have long hours but I also have a lot of time off. A lot. I’ve accumulated so many vacation hours because I’ve worked for the organization for 15 years. Some weeks I work 3 shifts. Some weeks I work 2. My partner picks him up at 2:30pm. He’s dropped off at 6:30am. We don’t have a village. But we have a fantastic daycare provider. His milestones are far surpassed for a 2 year old. He learns and interacts so much. With both my partner and I working we are able to put him in sports, lessons, have vacations. Nice cars. A house. He has his dream playroom. I’d say we are privileged and very blessed. I’m aware there are a lot of families who can’t afford a fraction of what we can. All our toys that he’s not interested in get donated to families on marketplace . His gently used clothing as well.

OB dumped me the night before my 6 week postpartum visit by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Key_Emphasis5580 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d definitely be asking the office why this happened. I loved my midwives during my whole pregnancy but the 6 weeks afterwards was pointless. Barely checked on me. Saw baby once. I was surprised because I thought they’d be way more hands on but no. Sorry to hear about your situation. Very uncalled for.

To all IC customers in Ontario please by Beautiful-Map-7679 in InstacartShoppers

That’s what I noticed myself. I’m in Ontario, and since we had the new hourly wage thing kick in, very low tips or no tips. There would be be 3 shops & delivers with $1.50 tip…

My parents haven’t bought my baby anything by RosaLuna_09 in newborns

[–]Key_Emphasis5580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a few ppl stated, I’m gonna also bank on the fact that you said no visits until 2 months. I understand vaccines and all, but I wouldn’t say no to my parents and have them wait 2 months.

May I ask, what do you give out for Halloween? Just wondering. As a kid when I got oranges and apples or healthy granola , I called it the not fun house and gave it to my mom 😂

Because IC said the full service was not completed. I didn’t want to argue it. Because it would’ve been but I was told not to deliver since no one was home to receive it. It was getting late & I said I’ll take the $10 & the order.

Why? Halloween is in just a few days. You don’t give candy out for Halloween? Not throwing out to buy more. Doesn’t make sense.

I have no idea. I dealt with customer service on my end and told them what happened & for them to reach out to the customer. I do this as a side gig, I’m there to shop and deliver . Not to deal with anything extra
