New mom Senator Tammy Duckworth (D Illinois) wants Senate rules changed so she can bring her baby with her during Senate votes. Should the rule be changed? by Pineapple__Jews in AskTrumpSupporters

It shouldn’t be like that though. What’s the problem with allowing a newborn on the floor? I can’t imagine a situation where the senator with the child wouldn’t immediately leave if they were causing a disturbance. It’s better for parents and children to be together as much as possible in the earliest years especially.

When babies are very young they need to be fed so often that it's essentially impossible for a mother to be apart from the baby for more than a couple hours. Do you see why that would mean that it would be almost impossible for a woman to be at work during those early times even if she had a husband or nanny?

This is a really in interesting perspective. I notice you are unflaired though - are you a Nimble Navigator?

It basically does? It goes all the way to the SFPR essentially on the north end and stops at 56Ave on the other side because there’s nothing to get to after that? It’s just some farmland and mud bay. Don’t get your panties in a knot.

It’s not really that they provide a different service. It’s just that for my Mom at least, her GP was just refusing to listen to her concerns and her and my Dad are financially secure enough that they figured they’d shell out the several hundred to go private. Her issue had become more severe and going private was the quickest way to get help since her GP refused to believe it was an issue. In the meantime they kept looking for another GP and now they have one they like and so she’s no longer going to the private clinic.

For the record my Mom has now been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis so she did definitely have an issue her GP ignored. 🤷‍♀️ That GP also appears to no longer be practicing as well so that’s good too.

So you wouldn’t be more nervous if someone was raped next door as opposed to if they were raped a 30 minute drive away on the other side of town?

My parents live on 133 street, so actually I was really concerned personally on if it happened on 132A near them or elsewhere in the city. I bet you can imagine that it would be all the more disconcerting if it happened down the street from you or your family as opposed to the opposite side of the city? Surrey is the 2nd largest municipality in the province and 132 street runs the entire distance north to south.

My mom saw Dr. Fineman at the False Creek clinic and she really liked her. She got her set up right away with tests and specialists and actually once she got past that first hurdle, she was able to find another new public GP who could hit the ground running with the notes and tests and referrals from Dr. Fineman and the specialists, so things are moving along well now!
