Baby is 10 months old. My brother just took a flight to see him. Took a rapid test at home and its positive. He didn’t even have any symptoms and he has been so careful. He left and my heart is breaking. I can’t stop crying!

Very difficult stories. But be grateful for such a loving family that would be extra careful knowing they are visiting, spend time and money to fly across country to visit, then take another test and Quarantine in a hotel on personal dime. Just the financial means to do that means a lot, not to mention the consideration and thoughtfulness.
You are very loved OP. As is baby. That's all that matters in the end.

I appreciated the postivity. it’s always great to be reminded of the good things.

My son just turned 1 ~2 weeks ago. Our immediate family were going to take rapid tests and come celebrate. My mom tested positive for Covid 3 days before. My brother, his wife, and my nephew decided not to come 2-3 days before bc she is pregnant and didn’t want to risk exposure. My husband’s brother in law was driving his sister and parents over (1.5 hour drive) and were 15 mins away when he got a call that his PCR from a few days earlier was positive (all tested negative on rapids that morning).
This last 2 years has been full of disappointment. All we can control is how much we love our babies..we are all doing the best we can. I’m sorry for you and I feel your pain. Broke down crying the second we got the call about the positive test. It’s all too much…
Hope your brother recovers soon and gets to see the baby. ❤️

I am so sorry! No words just solidarity. We haven’t seen my parents since my baby was born and he turned 1 yesterday. Covid has really impacted our lives way beyond we understand. All I can say is that lets be thankful that our family and babies are safe! We will get through this! All of us!

Left to go back on a plane after testing positive?

Nope. He is quarantined in a hotel nearby

I’m sorry OP. Like other have said, you have a kind and loving family. Sending you and your brother best wishes.

I am glad your brother did a test. My husband’s brother came to see us and didn’t do any testing. He started showing symptoms on the 2nd day 😞 My whole house went down with him one by one. I isolated myself with my 3.5 months old baby. It was rough 2 weeks, I lived in double mask and N95 mask. Thankfully we all came out of it without major symptoms but the isolation was the toughest part for me.

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

Hello Fishes, its really strange to ask but I have no option left.
I have almost 2 years of gap in my career due to medical issues, but not its recovered and I am trying to rejoin again. I applied to so many places but has been seeing only rejections either due to gap and either due to my over qualification.
I am truly tired of applying and waiting for their call back and reverts, Its like getting into depression slowly slowly.
Is their any place where I can get hired soon. Please help me.

Wish apps like BetterHelp were free. I can’t afford healthcare or therapy (I’m unemployed, and yes, I’ve tried seeking pro bono therapy options — no place anywhere nearby offers it.) I really need a therapist I can talk to on at least a weekly basis to just unpack so much that’s bogging me down to the point of being unable to function some days, but it’s just so cost prohibitive! What sucks is everyone assumes this career hands you median wages on a platter but I’m worse off than I’ve ever been.

We decided the best thing to do is just tell his friends (although a bit earlier than ideal) and then take the pressure off me to show up in any way that doesn’t feel good for me. I don’t even know what my question is…..
