We are at a daycare that is still open. I pulled my daughter and am paying 1/2 tuition. I could unenroll her but I’m hoping it’s just a few more weeks. My husband just got furloughed for 30 days, so if it does last longer I will have to unenroll

janegold and others. Thanks, it helps to know I’m not alone. I need to release my expectations and just take one day at a time.
Flameful but I feel it was easier with just me and my 3 year old, she’s not adjusting well to him being home even tho he’s a great dad. She’s just a mommas girl.
I feel like this is flameful because it’s so petty, but I’m a SAHM and my husband is home this week and driving me absolutely crazy. We have done nothing but fight the past two days. I would rather be home by myself and the baby 😕
Right here with you. My DH has been home 3 days now and OMG the fighting....I am WFH and he is furloughed. It is tough.
anyone else struggling with their DH at home? My DH got furloughed and I am WFH. We have a 3 year old and I am pregnant. It is TOUGH. And my husband was off for the past 6 weeks in training in another state, so we are also having to adjust to him being home with us. We got in a huge fight last night, ugh.
starryfish, we are paying full price. The teachers still need to be paid. Unless you (general you) are yourself losing income from this situation I implore you to do the same. Daycare workers make very little and financially vulnerable as it is.
My husband is about to lose his job so yea it is a financial burden on us. I’m hoping they offer the half price option.

i am pulling my daughter starting friday.
IS everyone still paying full price for daycare if they arent there? Or is yours offering the 1/2 price option? Mine hasnt said anything yet. During our last major hurricane they offered the 1/2 price option to keep your kid at home while they were limited open.

My daycare is still open and I sent her today. I will probably until it’s closed. My DH is out of town for training and it would be really hard to try to work from home with her (she’s 3).
Besides daycare we won’t be exposed to anyone. I’m WFH and we have no family in the area.

Our daycare is still open even tho public schools are closed. They usually follow the school system. I am sure they will close soon but I’m thankful Bc I can’t WFH if my 3 year old is home.

4. Let's talk maternity/paternity leave - what's your plan/status if you don't mind sharing? 18 weeks from a combo of sick leave and vacation. I am a federal employee but my baby will be born before the new parental leave starts in October.

1. How far along are you? 10W6d
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week? I am ready for 1st tri nausea to be over with.
3. Questions for the group?
4. Is this baby your first and/or last kid? What are your ideal plans for the future in terms of family size? this is our 2nd baby and will most likely be our last due to age and finances and we always wanted just 2.
verycontrary247, We got a click connect stroller for use with just the car seat and I LOVED that thing. When she outgrew that, we switched to a city mini stroller and i STILL use it (she is 3 now and super tall). LOVE my city mini.

Sounds like it wasnt Natera that messed up but your lab. I just got mine drawn today for natera and the lab tech made sure that I double checked that my tubes were labeled with my name, DOB and ID# correctly. Sorry this happened to you

red I wouldn’t put forth the effort if they don’t.
However I do have a similar problem with my FIL and his wife (DHs Step mom). My dd is 3 years old and they live 7 hours away but only came and visited us once and it was Bc I was giving them a tour for step sister of my cool work place. I’m bitter about it. They always expect us or just me to come (I take my dd with just me to visit several times without my DH Bc he can’t get off work). I take her Bc she enjoys it and I feel it’s the right thing to do. When she no longer asks to go, then I will stop. Bc I think it’s absolute crap they visit step sister who lives 6 hours away allll the time but not us (and she’s just single in college). But hence I’m bitter lol

I got this trick from this board. But to eliminate middle of the night or early wake ups, she gets a chocolate chip if she doesn’t call or cry for me. Worked pretty well for us
This morning I’m back to freaking the fuck out that my tests aren’t dark enough or aren’t getting darker enough day to day. Fuck PGAL. I’m so scared I’m having another chemical.
My tests did not get darker always fir several days. My test was not very dark for 7-8dp5dt
