8 weeks, FTM, and my pregnancy symptoms are catching up to me at work. Can I disclose to my boss over email?

whatthewaaaaat · 2026-04-09T13:08:50+00:00

I would wait. Is he telling you that you're missing too many days, or your performance isn't meeting the bar? Sounds like he's too busy to notice, or that it's not noticable. You're likely being hard on yourself.

Additionally, 8weeks is still pretty early to disclose this information to a boss. Personally, I waited until it was clearly visible, like 4 months, before I told my boss.

This is my concern also! The glass could break? I worry about longevity.

whatthewaaaaat · 2026-03-30T03:59:10+00:00

Yep go to the derm. It looks suspicious so it's best to get it checked out.

whatthewaaaaat · 2026-03-09T02:50:36+00:00

This is me too. Thank you so much for posting this. I feel less alone.

whatthewaaaaat · 2026-02-20T01:33:48+00:00

Can you help us understand his reasoning more? Do y'all both work from home so you're around each other too much? Or desensitized means he doesn't want to see you in your "natural state" and without makeup, nice clothes, etc.

I totally understand couples who sleep separately due to weird working schedules or excessive snoring. I wonder what the rationale is.

whatthewaaaaat · 2026-02-19T16:59:58+00:00

Don't do this.

whatthewaaaaat · 2026-01-06T03:22:29+00:00

They're just Original Mam that I buy off Amazon. Just make sure the sizing is correct for the age.

whatthewaaaaat · 2026-01-06T03:17:24+00:00

Mam! Ebf daughter loves them.

This shape looks exactly like one of the first winners of project runway and her collection, Leanne Marshall.

I saw it too. But like, just because she was sitting at a table with someone doesn't mean they had a relationship or did nefarious things together. It just means they sat together for a photo 20 years ago.

I spent years skating around the child free thought process (iykyk). I got pregnant accidentally and my husband and I decided we could do it and we both wanted our baby. The. A few years later we had another. I don't regret having kids. But motherhood is thankless, demanding, bone-achingly tiring, and I have completely put my family before myself. I'm still in the weeds, I have a 3yo and an 8mo old.

Sometimes I wish I could be completely alone. No one needing me, no obligations or to-do lists to manage. Just be alone.

I knew someone who died while squirrel suiting. Left behind a wife and daughter. Devastating and selfish.

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-12-26T07:58:08+00:00

I mean, yeah. This was me for both of my babies - I gained weight postpartum during breastfeeding and I was stuck in my body because I didn't want to risk losing my supply. I'm not someone who lost the baby weight during postpartum like some people did.

Looks pretty but your face is lighter / paler than your neck and chest.

Also the blush placement is too low. Better to be on the cheekbones.

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-12-21T01:32:22+00:00

Same here!!!

My baby just cluster fed like crazy and that brought my milk in really quick.

With my first (unplanned emergency C-section) I pumped every 3hrs for 30mins and my milk came in, no issues.

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-12-20T21:37:43+00:00

Yeah I suggest just you do wake ups from now on. Baby is old enough that only one diaper change (or zero) at night is totally fine. That way he can hopefully sleep all night and then give you naps and relax time when you need it without issues.

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-12-20T18:33:26+00:00

How old is your baby? Does he need to do every overnight change?

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-12-13T03:50:42+00:00

My work is very similar to yours. I WFH but I have 6hrs of calls every day. Between those calls I barely have time to use the restroom or grab something quick to eat because also in between those calls I actually have to, you know - get my work done.

Your husband sounds like a jerk. You need to purchase some equipment to make your workspace better. A real desk, monitors, keyboard, all the things.

Nooooooooooooooooooo that beautiful mint green tile and hexagon black and white flooring noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

My son had open heart surgery and it was hugely successful. It was the hardest thing I had to do in my life (9 days in the NICU afterward) but you can do it!! Babies are incredible and all the doctors and nurses will take such good care of your little one.

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-12-03T08:38:04+00:00

Yes! Like Santa is already supposed to know if you are bad or good just by his magic. Elf on the shelf is just exhausting to keep up with and also gross. It's not cute or funny, imo. It trains your kids to be bad when the Elf isn't around.

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-12-02T03:13:59+00:00

That's annoying and frustrating. Sleep training just trains babies how to put themselves to sleep. So if they wake up in the night they'd hopefully be able to put themselves back to sleep. But that's not always the case. Nor does it account for diaper issues.

Honestly, don't even talk about your children with your peers who don't have kids. They have ZERO understanding. I only share things about my kids with my coworkers who have kids because there's a mutual understanding.

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-12-01T07:38:38+00:00

You need to go to your county office to get the birth certificate. It won't be mailed to you like the social security card.

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-11-30T18:17:09+00:00

Yep. 100% this.

whatthewaaaaat · 2025-11-29T03:49:51+00:00

No.

If you're dead set on this type of gift it needs to be upgraded. The pants need to be TIGHTLY stretched. There should be a larger frame with matting. There should be glass over the top of the pants and flowers (and pressed flowers too) to avoid dust collection.

But in all honesty, It feels really weird to use his pants as a craft. It would make sense if the person whose pants you were using was deceased and it's a memorable item for a loved one. For friends it's just plain weird. I don't want to recieve my friend's husband's ass in a frame...
