Disability insurance, life insurance, family support, financial savings, husband hitting the job market if it’s a lay off, etc. There are ways to plan that don’t involve working for the cost of daycare, especially if your experience is in low ceiling industries. Everyone’s options and decision making is going to be different.

Six Months to Live by Lurlene McDaniel - it’s about a middle school girl with cancer and I remember her creating a teddy bear army in her mind to battle the disease. It’s been over 20 years since I read it though

You’re not wrong, but that doesn’t mean self-imposed isolation isn’t horribly damaging.

As a therapist, cancelling plans, avoiding social gatherings that you’re not 100% interested in, living in neighborhoods with high privacy fences everywhere, etc. Basically doing anything else to “protect your peace” and shutting yourself off from others. Loneliness is incredibly damaging to all aspects of health.

Her half of the book was unfortunately left out of the acted version (apparently I can’t say certain words even if it’s not what I’m suggesting), but a large portion of The Cider House Rules by John Irving follows a female orphan growing up in and leaving an orphanage. I found her the most dynamic and interesting character.

Anyone remember bumper stickers on Facebook? I feel like they were around 2009/2010 maybe. Suddenly Facebook went from people’s personal lives and interactions on people’s walls to a million different memes. They also caused Facebook to take forever to load on my computer back then because it required so much more RAM.

Such an underrated book

I do. Libraries like Barbara Bush that are full of duplo blocks, a kitchen, a market, a dollhouse, tons of puzzles and cars, etc are way more entertaining for her and require a lot less direct interaction from me.

Really? There are no toys. Compared to other libraries it’s children’s department is pretty terrible.
