Hey Moms - are any of you dealing with littles who have anxiety about the current state of things? How are you helping them??

1. Limit their exposure to news etc. only share what’s age appropriate
2. Answer questions honestly but offer agency. “It’s scary some people get sick from covid but here’s what we can do to stay safe”
3. Be their pillar. If you are good, they will be good too.

My daughter is okay now, but she’s been through two rounds of therapy over the past 18 months. It really helped and she learned all kinds of strategies she uses when she gets upset.

My kid is so little but I’m curious how anxiety presents in kids so I can keep an eye out? We have a family history on both sides so I’m attuned to it, but not necessarily wringing hands just now. I’m wondering what’s considered “anxiety” and what’s considered an appropriate level of awareness/concern about what’s happening around them? How do you draw the line?

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
