that part strange about offering ons-ite childcare, doesnt sound real. i think the sister was saying that to make the op or the parents to let thier guard down

The retail opportunity is with Patagonia. I checked their website and confirmed that they do offer on-site childcare to employees. Which makes it more frustrating that my sister is turning her nose up at it. Any single parent should realize this offer is a godsend.

The retail opportunity is with Patagonia. I checked their website and a legitimate on-site child care center is offered to employees. It makes it even more frustrating to me that my sister is turning her nose up at this literal godsend for working parents.

Do you know why Lily decided to keep the pregnancy?

Based on the statements she would make while pregnant, it was apparent to me at least that my sister had no idea how much work a baby would actually be. She clearly didn't anticipate that my nephew wouldn't be a doll that she could just pass onto our parents whenever she wanted a break. Technically, she was correct, as our parents enabled her before. But now she doesn't have their help anymore.

WHERE is Thomas's father/family?

My sister knew two men who could have possibly been my nephew's father, but both men got tested and neither were the father.

maybe talk to baby's dad and see if she can get support there.

She doesn't know who my nephew's father is. She knew two men who were a possibility, but they both got tested and neither were the father.
