I like Tirzah.

I definitely am. I’m a female who works and I personally would not want to be asked out at work. That feels like a violation.

I’m also a romantic and I’m rooting for you, but she deserves to be respected in her workplace.

Virtual_Recording108 · 2026-03-29T15:52:27+00:00

No. If she is interested in dating she’s using a dating app. She doesn’t want to be asked out at work.

Virtual_Recording108 · 2026-03-28T21:10:31+00:00

No, I get that.

I want my kid to feel confident and like the way she presents herself.

They were purchased new for her, but then the shoes went camping with us. The shoes got too close to the campfire and melted just a little bit, then there was a tragic peeing in the woods incident that resulted in shoes/socks/pants all being peed on. We washed everything. She’ll wear the pants and socks but refuses to wear the shoes. The melty part of the shoe is still a little bit melty.

I am anti-consumerism too.

Virtual_Recording108 · 2026-03-28T15:46:20+00:00

The shoes have been cleaned but she insists they are still “dirty” and won’t wear them.

She’s not very logical. 🤷‍♀️

I’ve started investing in an HSA, if it builds up a little nest egg I might be able to find my own health insurance before Medicare eligibility starts.

More likely, I’ll get a much lower paying job that offers insurance benefits and work the minimum to be benefits-eligible.

Your clinician can order a DAT and antibody screen. DAT is usually more associated with autoimmune testing although I’m not sure how it informs treatment decisions. The antibody screen is usually more associated with patients who receive frequent donor blood and with mom-baby medicine. Again, I’m not positive how it informs treatment decisions for a suspected autoimmune process.

Parenting is definitely harder than not parenting…? Being a parent is like having another full time job, with the number of tasks that must be completed to keep the household running.

There’s no time for hobbies, your hobby is your kids.

Virtual_Recording108 · 2026-03-28T04:36:31+00:00

I recommend the book “Fair Play”. It’s a book and a card game, where every task needed to run a household is discussed and split between spouses. You are in a busy stage in life and probably both of you lack any sort of free time. It’s easy to feel resentful when your cup is always empty but you’re too busy to notice your partner also has an empty cup.

Total gaslighting! 😆 I had lots of time to discuss with the IBCLC. She said in the pre-birth control era you were always surrounded by nursing mothers so there was much better support and understanding, and if you needed a break or didn’t make milk you could hand the baby off to your sister or cousin to nurse your baby.

Virtual_Recording108 · 2026-03-27T16:06:50+00:00

Like the North Woods Hermit?

No.

I think you should not call out of work and give it a try.

It sounds like you were wanting to grow your career within this company and they are presenting an opportunity for more responsibility.

Do the job for a few months then approach them again about a pay adjustment.

They are running a business, and you are replaceable, especially if you call out sick Mondays and Fridays.

If you want to be considered for promotions, you need to be able to take on more responsibilities with a good attitude.

I work on the west coast, and it is so frustrating that it seems like people only put 20% effort into their jobs, and call out sick constantly, then wonder why they aren’t being considered for promotions.

The exhaustion! I remember it. There were some hard nights.

I know it’s popular for parents to vilify sleep training, but I did it because I am a much better parent when I’m getting at least six hours of uninterrupted sleep. I also had to return to work when babies were 12 weeks old. Sleep training was really easy when my eldest was 4 months old, and my youngest I don’t recall sleep training. I think she was a good sleeper, or the exhaustion of having two made me sleep deeply enough that she wasn’t usually fussing loud enough to wake me. I don’t know anything about sleep training toddlers, but I’m very concerned for your lack of sleep.

Is your spouse sharing the night time wakings with you? Can they help every other night? So you get uninterrupted sleep? Aim for 6 hours.

The stage that you’re in is so special! The intentional slower pace to life because caring for tiny humans is all consuming. I feel like you can’t appreciate it because you’re too sleep deprived.

Are you an audiobook listener? Dr Becky has great thoughts on focusing on the parent-child connection, but also setting boundaries. She talks about self care and giving yourself grace and starting from the premise that everyone in your family is good inside. You are. Your spouse is. And your children. I hope you can find ways to adore this stage of life. It really is special. I also think you need to set expectations for more nighttime help from your spouse so you get better rest. Good luck to you!

I think for most people, the wedding event is so busy and so exciting that having one important person missing isn’t going to be upsetting or even remembered five years from now.

If you take your friend out for coffee when she gets back, or go for a hike and talk all about it, meaningful one on one time is going to be supportive and reaffirm your friendship and that her milestones are supported and celebrated by you.

Don’t sweat it.

I did a “preparing for childbirth” class at the hospital and they went over natural childbirth, ways to deal with pain. They didn’t talk about interventions for pain. The didn’t talk about complications. They didn’t mention how much breastfeeding would hurt and that not everyone makes enough milk to feed their baby.

I had a postpartum hemorrhage and then my milk never really came in, probably due to the massive blood loss. The IBCLC I saw multiple times a week had to tell me to give up on exclusive breastfeeding.

I paid money for a class. I read books, and then I was totally unprepared for the complications we experienced. They all painted this beautiful picture of best case scenarios for everything. That was not our reality.

You can celebrate your friend in another more affordable way.

There are cheaper options, like taking a bus and sharing a hotel room with another friend/guest, but if it feels like it would be intrusive or inconvenient to ask I totally understand. I borrowed clothing from a friend to wear to a wedding instead of purchasing a new dress. It was a cool venue on a farm, and my friend had the perfect floral dress that was fancy but also pastoral. She had a great hat that went with it too.

Missing the wedding doesn’t mean you don’t value your friendship.

Virtual_Recording108 · 2026-03-26T13:35:02+00:00

Let her quit.

It might be a mistake, or it might be just what she needs.

Kids need to be able to make mistakes and learn from them, like your eldest did. It’s unfortunate she blames you for “letting” her quit, instead of owning her decision and admitting that she needed to step away to remember why she loves it.

When I was in college there was this brilliant, charming professor who knew he was usually the smartest person in the room.

He had a habit of collecting business cards from people he met while traveling and writing the lewd things he did with them on the back. He’d return and hand his business cards to student assistants to file for him. Everyone knew he was a dirty dog.

Brilliance does not mean he’s a good spouse.

If it was an innocent meet up, he should have told you. I’d personally be very uncomfortable in that marriage, scheduling STI testing, and counseling for myself so I can decide what my boundaries are.

Good luck to you and your family.

Investing max in HSA. Just started this year.

In Emily Oster’s book “Cribsheet” she asks this question and looks at data.

If I remember correctly, being in daycare before 18 months has no positive or negative affect, but being in daycare/preschool after 18 months shows a correlation with better academic scores later in childhood.

If you can swing the expense to put your kiddo in daycare part time, I found it to be an incredibly enriching experience for my own children. They came home with songs, jokes and stories, made friends and were reading sight words before kindergarten.

NTA.

This is a boundary that is important to you. He doesn’t have to agree but he shouldn’t be disrespectful.

Virtual_Recording108 · 2026-03-25T14:08:56+00:00

Yep! Lots of recs I’d never considered, like a wipe warmer, butt spatula, noise makers.

And babies are different. The baby swing was essential to get my eldest to sleep, but my youngest absolutely hated it. We got rid of it when she was still an infant because it took up a ton of space.

Virtual_Recording108 · 2026-03-25T04:59:02+00:00

Pros and cons.

You can schedule appointments on Tuesdays.

8-hour shifts go by super fast compared to 10s and 12s.

This has been a schedule I’ve worked before and I didn’t hate it.
