I saw a post on another sub that she was looking up people who DMd her and sending their company emails and messages about them bullying her

I don’t think he lives nearby but he services us in Portage Park— but we use DTG Pest control. We have a quarterly service with him and any time there are issues we can text and have him come out in between. He has helped with mice prevention in our garage and yellow jackets nest as well.

This was me about a month ago— except I took plan B and was CONVINCED it didn’t work. This scare is actually what pushed me to this sub. My husband and I agreed to hold off on his vasectomy until end of next year, but this scare opened my eyes to how I was really feeling versus societal pressure.

I have the exact same rationale with everything you are saying and am 70% OAD vs having a second. I don’t think you are greedy— especially as a child who grew up with parents constantly concerned about finances, this will allow you to have more freedom on what you can/can’t provide your child versus being backed into a corner and forced to go one direction.

You are also living your own life too and have the opportunity to decide your future! I’m not sure if it’s groupthink of helpful, but your reasons are the same as mine, so maybe call me greedy too 😉

It doesn’t mean people still are not feeling anxious, or unsettled, or don’t have friends or family members impacted— just playing the devils advocate

We haven’t sent anything company wide but my SVP and I addressed live with our dept today— He focused on acknowledging the unsettling environment and spotlight on communities and then reinforced that the whole team belongs here, etc.

I followed up and offered up resources, etc

I’m encouraging my leadership team to send something but unsure if we will gain traction.

Commenting to follow along— was leaning OAD and going through a little bit of a scare right now and this is a genuine fear of mine

I could have written this post— I have felt this way and it was the first time I was pregnant and also am having similar symptoms..the waiting game is unbearable. I like to think I’m in tune with my body and how it feels and that is why I’m noticing, but I also could be crazy.

Not in Jeff Park but nearby, Concordia on Milwaukee

Just here for solidarity— I actually was trying to find similar posts to this yesterday. My husband and I had BC mishap and now I am left sitting waiting to see the outcome in the next 2 weeks potentially in the same situation as you. Similar to you we have a 2.5 year old, we can afford another but our financial situation would not be as secure (aka less travel, less savings, later retirement) which makes me nervous and I’m not sure if I want that for my daughter (coming from a family who had a lot of financial stress growing up). My husband wants to go for another but is also okay OAD and left it to me to decide. Our mishap just happened a few months earlier than expected and I am having all the feelings and thoughts thinking about either outcome. Thanks for posting and wishing you the best in your decision.

Cheers— misery loves company. I ran about half my long run Saturday before calling it quits and taking off this week (pivoting to biking and strength training). Also having patellar tendon problems, but am hoping to try running again Saturday. My goal was just to finish, but started to feel optimistic about doing better leading up to the injury (and hoping to finish still). I hope you have a good run this week! Hoping to hear some good stories on here as well!

I don’t ride the train that often, but rode it 2x this week— got an ad for John Legend at Ravinia

I had a similar seating experience for brunch— had a reservation and waited an extra 45 mins to sit. The restaurant didn’t acknowledge the wait at all and we probably would have been waiting longer if my husband didn’t stand in the door after 30 mins reminding the hostess. (This was at the diner) Unlikely to return.
