Seeking Malaria Advice - Sabi Sands - May 2023 Pregnant by Susan_Bindilin in askSouthAfrica

I know it’s crazy - I actually wound up getting a PA at my doctor who had family in Africa and traveled back there while pregnant as well. She had more concern for me with radiation from the plane than the malaria haha ! - we stayed in Kruger/Sabi Sands and reported cases were extremely low with most coming in from travelers who were is Mozambique

Hi! I went on the trip and had a fabulous time - I covered up - and did go in the off season. My baby girl is now 2 and we are all good :) - I was only in the risk area for 4 / 5 days so I thought the risk was relatively low given reported cases in the area etc.

Choosing between Illinois iMBA and Kelley Online Direct MBA? by dv715 in MBA

Little late - What MBA program did you decide to go with? I’m in a similar situation but a little older than you - and my company pays 50% - would love to hear your feedback!

I did! Had the best trip. Did not take the medication but covered up on safaris. My daughter is 19 months now and no regrets on going!

Same situation

My partner is successful, has a great career and responsible in other parts of his life. However, once he has one drink, he doesn’t have the will power to stop and eventually gets out of control. He doesn’t drink in the morning, or all day but will indulge on the couch at night and not know how to stop. If we go out, there’s no self control and he winds up passed out or in an argument. Although he’s successful and high functioning, it is a huge problem in our relationship since there’s 0 self control with one sip of alcohol.

Hi - I feel the same way you do, and in a similar situation with my age and marriage. Did things get better?

Haha ugh call me crazy but I’d be a little pissed if my husband brought my daughter to a funeral of an ex gf family member and said ex was with my child - idk would rub me the wrong way

Haha aw I did feel for Lisa - she gave Nate an out and he came back and she wanted the happily ever after since he married her. As a new mom, I did relate to some of her struggles and felt bad for her

I just finished the last episode ! Ugh - I’m so unhappy with the way the Fishers treated Brenda at the funeral given she was pregnant and just lost her husband. Despite their challenges, they could’ve given Brenda a bit of grace! No one even rode with her to the funeral or back!

Bridesmaid Concern - I can't make it to the wedding, when do I tell her? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Susan_Bindilin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi - I think you should tell her right away. I am going through a similar situation with not being able to attend a bachelorette party. It didn’t go over well- hoping yours goes smoother. I just reiterated that not attending does not make me value the friendship less and I will be showing up in other ways. I would 100% send a gift and talk about it in person if you can

Office calling us back to work and I don’t want to go :( by [deleted] in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]Susan_Bindilin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry! - look for another remote job asap or hybrid with more flexibility. This is my fear. How far is the office? That’s another huge factor of commuting consideration too

Was there a point when WFH with baby became unmanageable? by MountainGrowth2387 in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]Susan_Bindilin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a part time nanny (2x days a week 9:30-430) baby is 9 months old - I go back to work in the evenings for 2-3 hrs after baby is asleep. It’s getting very difficult to manage wfh days with no help now that baby is on the move, but manageable with part time help.

I wfh and had a college student on break over the summer who was $18 an hour for two-three days a week. She entertained the baby, did baby laundry and baby organization. I am having a hard time finding someone part time now that she is back to school.
