IKR! I’ve got 4 children’s (ages 8, 6, 3 and 2) Management keeps saying “don’t worry about the background noise” we support you! I’m thinking to myself “you’ve got no idea what I’m trying to tell you....” if you support me send a damn sitter!!! 🤬

We're all with you. I have a lot of vacation days and I discussed with my husband and we're each going to try to take one day off a week (I'm sitting for wednesdays) so I can spend time with the kids without distractions and then I'll get the day my husband takes without distractions.

I’m really worried about this all- I have a 2 year old. I don’t want to bring a babysitter into our space right now, it feels like the opposite of social distancing, but my husband has to go to work. We’re going to try to split the day, he’s going in early and leaving early and I’m going to work afternoon/evening. I hope my team will be supportive, the other people with kids either have a stay at home wife or a full time nanny.

What an amazingly overwhelming day...that was hard and I literally feel like I got no work done between the kids assignments, emails to teachers and all the conference calls with my teams who are now remote to make sure everyone stays productive. I’m exhausted but so much work to do still...

I feel your pain! Same here with homeschool a fourth and second graders! I requested partners to suggest what to do and they asked me to charge vacation and extra leave but not C-19 code since this would affect their profit sharing of their business unit. I’m having a call with HR. Not sure why Kelly Grier sent the code to charge if we are not allowed to!

So MIL has been watching my daughter off and on during the mornings this week because she has a cold and daycare won’t take her with her cough. Super grateful she’s here, but my MIL has been wearing new perfume or some sort of scent that has my allergies acting up and I don’t know if that is also contributing to my daughter’s cold. I’m getting to the point where my eyes are watering and I’m getting stuffed up because of the smell. My husband refuses to talk to her about it.

I’m a FTM that recently was diagnosed with antibody induced hypothyroidism. I’m currently at 19 weeks and have been on the lowest dosage of the thyroid meds since the beginning of my pregnancy.

This happen to anyone? Was just anxious.

I’m a FTM returning to work in mid-August since being on maternity leave since the end of February. I can’t wait to go back to work (I have mom guilt about daycare but that’s another story).

How do you handle handoff/transition before going on maternity leave? I will be going on maternity leave in 3 months and need to put together a transition plan so that someone can take care of my work while I am out. I want to make sure nothing falls through the crack but at the same time don’t want to train someone to do 100% of my job - that would make my role redundant if someone can just take over right? Plus the company is going through restructuring now too. How would you handle this?

Seems there aren’t as many options for combo products with sanitizer, so maybe I’m asking for too much. Suggestions?
