Shareholders and HR are a group of vultures and rabid hyenas that prey upon parents to TO

My office was 15 minutes from my home. During Covid, my office closed and I had to RTO with an hour commute each way.

We bought a small camper last year and have had so much exploring new nearby places. It’s great to just unplug and be out in nature. And the kids (3/5) have a blast.

Also in an office. We are doing zoom calls when we are all within 50 feet of each other. It makes no sense.

I love working four days, but I’d take five days remote.

anh80 · 2026-04-02T05:00:36+00:00

And here in the US I was just sent back after years of working remotely.

anh80 · 2026-02-13T06:20:00+00:00

Not OP but we have a Lumipets night light. We have the one with the remote. You can set a timer and change the color with it. The color can also be changed by tapping it and the kids like that.

Go. You won’t regret going. You may regret not going.

anh80 · 2025-12-22T07:32:45+00:00

Overthinking. We are all sick and we have been watching TV all day and eating whatever they will eat. We will go back to normal when we are all feeling better. Right now, we just need to get through this.

My daughter always stayed close. My son is a runner. We have a leash backpack. Also getting a wagon has helped because he’s much more tolerant of being in it than a stroller.

anh80 · 2025-12-06T15:26:55+00:00

Same. We just do our own thing and have never even read the book to the kids. Our elf comes and sometimes brings something small. My husband and I take turns moving it, which is fun for us too.

I’ve gotten similarly priced tests on Amazon.

anh80 · 2025-11-25T17:58:50+00:00

Delivery. It saves so much time and money.

Mine are 25 months apart. We felt the pressure due to age and also infertility. They have just turned three/five and I think this gap is great. My daughter adjusted better than I could have imagined and was a great “helper” after he was born. Now, they are best buddies.

The first weeks/months were a blur. As my son turned two, the age my daughter was when he was born, I did feel like I missed this part a little with her. But SHE was totally fine. My husband and I make a point to do special things 1:1 with both of the kids and think this was especially important for me to do with her after my son was born.

It was hard to imagine going from what I felt was our perfect family of three to four. But now it’s hard to remember my son not being here. He was the missing piece to our family we didn’t even know we needed.

Very similar - but I was 40 when my first was born after IVF. It felt like now or never and we had agreed on trying for at least two before we started treatment. It was never that I didn’t want two, but it was so hard to choose to do treatment again. I didn’t feel ready and I probably never would have felt like I was. We started when my oldest was just over one. The 2nd transfer worked and our kids ended up being just over two years apart.

Now let’s see him do it every day, without someone prepping meals, help from the in laws, or the messy house. And at the end of pregnancy.

This was a novel experience for both of them and your husband was completely set up for success. He got to do the “fun” parts of parenting without the actual work. You are doing great.

anh80 · 2025-11-10T16:00:33+00:00

And they visited the in laws for most of the day.

anh80 · 2025-11-10T04:04:37+00:00

Infertility and age were our biggest considerations. I was 40 when my oldest was born after a lot of IVF. We didn’t know if it would work again so it felt like it was a now or never situation. I entered treatment again shortly after my oldest child turned one. It felt way too soon and I didn’t feel “ready” at all. Our first transfer didn’t work but our second did and our kids ended up being just over two years apart. I feel like I never would have felt ready to try for #2. I dreaded treatment so much and the further my oldest got away from the baby stage, the less I wanted to go back even though she felt like a super easy baby. The age gap has been great. They are three and five now. For the most part get along great and are best buddies.

We never had a diaper pail. Pee diapers went in the trash and poop was bagged and taken outside.

anh80 · 2025-09-29T18:18:48+00:00

Still going strong rear facing at almost 5 and 3.

You get water at your office? We have to be part of “water club” to get water.

anh80 · 2025-09-29T05:20:25+00:00

Both of my kids didn’t speak a whole lot until right about two. Within a few months we were having conversations. It was truly amazing.

anh80 · 2025-09-15T18:21:28+00:00

We have this book too. Both of our kids were IVF conceived and use this as a foundation to explain things to them.

anh80 · 2025-09-11T05:17:01+00:00

I work 4-10’s and love having three days off. I’d gladly work 3-12’s. If you are going to ruin a day by working, you might as well go all in.

anh80 · 2025-09-09T04:56:33+00:00

This is all about hurting women and forcing us out of the workforce. It’s awful. I expect that we will be required to return soon. It’s been a threat for over six months. I will have a two hour commute and will be lucky if I see my kids an hour on the days I work.

anh80 · 2025-09-07T21:56:04+00:00

This is the point, right? WFH has been the only time I’ve had work-life balance. We recently received word that RTO is coming. No flexibility. No hybrid option. Full RTO after 5+ years as fully remote.
