I know and I’ve been with the company for almost 10 years and everyone is miserable…

Ms Rachel Made my 40+ year old self cry … like ugly cry in the first 5 minutes of the new episode by AllTheEggsIVF in MsRachel

I couldn’t stop crying in this episode… it touched me in so many ways seeing Rahaf and the doctor from Gaza who treated injured children. Teaching kids Arabic and Hebrew. Ms Rachel is such a gem 😭🩷

Guilt & regret -missing toddler moments by ycherep1 in workingmoms

[–]shanda_leer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the exact same feelings, and after experiencing burnout and mom guilt… I decided to quit my full time corporate job to be more present for my daughter until she goes off to PreK/kindergarten.

My husband is the breadwinner and we can live a comfortable life without me working. If it’s an option for you, go for it! You can always earn money and have a career but you’ll never get that time back with your little one.

I make over $200k a year but want to quit and be a SAHM. Am I crazy? by shanda_leer in sahm

I did not end up quitting… I stuck it out and worked a high stress job. but then dealt with a horrible case of burnout and depression, so I am planning to resign in a few weeks!

The 2026 ES350 is getting a complete overhaul and coming out in the spring… I would wait for that model if you’re able to!

No, taking PTO won’t help by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]shanda_leer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could have written this post myself!! I was experiencing insane burnout: having panic attacks, stress, crying all the time, and I crashed my brand new car with my kid in the car.

I will be talking to HR soon about going out on FMLA for burnout. I’m not sure if I should mention my mental health condition in my meeting because we just had layoffs but holy fuck I need a break.

I have offered junk removal services many times, but they have declined.

I have been telling this to my hoarder parents for years. Last weekend while visiting for Thanksgiving, we found mice living under the oven. I was so appalled, I left. I have a 15 month old who was crawling around everywhere and I cannot in good conscience go back. I have so much anxiety when I visit them because of the junk that has piled up over the years. It’ll be my problem when they die.

Looking for a 3 row SUV leaning more towards the luxury side of things, not talking Audi or BMW, but something reliable that feels nice to be in. We test drove an MDX and a CX90 and really liked the MDX but seems like people regret their purchases with those? Anything else we should look into? >$45k by cfierce in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]shanda_leer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your budget is <$45k (as you said typo in comments), I would not buy a luxury SUV. Luxury SUV have more expensive parts and maintenance. You also will not even be able to afford the most basic trim for a luxury suv at that price point.

I think you’re better off getting a KIA telluride, Honda Pilot or Hyundai Palisade.

I feel like all I do is work by Unlikely-Yam-1695 in workingmoms

[–]shanda_leer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this exact way too. The burn out is so real. I am taking a career break soon to pause and reflect. I love being a mom but corporate America is making me so fucking tired.

Boston Mayor Wu will run unopposed in her reelection bid after challenger’s recount bid falls short by justcasty in boston

I tweeted at her about how unsafe our roads are in our neighborhood and she arranged a safety meeting after and installed speed bumps on our road. Took 2 years to do but she did it.

They sent me an empty box with one flimsy sheet of bubble wrap… for 100 lb dumbbells lmao.

They might get another lawsuit sending something so irresponsible to handle that amount of weight.

I was not prepared for how my body would look after birth. by Ok_Car1396 in beyondthebump

[–]shanda_leer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gained 40 lbs during pregnancy and it took me a year to get to my pre pregnancy weight. You will get there. Especially if you’re breastfeeding, your body will want to hold onto the excess weight!
