First day of vacation and I think I need to quarantine from my family for the first day or two to ease out of work mode and into vacation mode. My kids are fine, but my husband’s “helpful suggestions” are making me crazy. Turning off the work brain is tough sometimes.

lol. Take a day for you. The kids will be fine. I went to the gym at 8, got my hair cut at 10, and am “supposedly” Christmas shopping all afternoon by myself (but I actually did that shopping online weeks ago 😂).

It can be a lot. What are you guys doing with the time off?

What do you typically like to do to blow off some steam on your own? Vacations are definitely not just for time with family, you also need to reconnect with yourself when you have the chance.

Helpfully suggest your hubs leave you alone lol.

I could not agree with this more. I find myself feeling so stressed and on edge the first day or so of vacation. And I try not to check my work phone but I can't help it. I am always stressing about what messes I will have to clean up when I get back to the office after vacation.

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF.

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
