I think I read on here someone recommended finding a local “mom/stroller group” (???) while on maternity...it’s a nationwide group that has local chapters...is this ringing a bell? Name?

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Associates, how did you balance your morning sickness and fatigue in early pregnancy with work? Thankfully I’m still WFH, but worried about receiving insane turnarounds that require me to stay up late/all night and the effect it might have on the baby. I’m past my hours for the year and feel like I should be able to say no, but the team I’m on has a tendency to push past no’s.

I & My girl friend can’t stop fighting for few weeks. We decided to take a little break being away from each other. Stayed away for sometime, we reconciled and on the very first date she told me that she is pregnant through donor insemination. She never told me anything about this plan. How should I react? Breakup? Feeling terrible thinking about breaking up when she is pregnant, but I’m not ready for a baby.

For those who already have a baby - I (36f) just had a baby 6 weeks ago, and my wife (33F) is now back at work (WFH) and I’m still on leave. Since I have the baby all day and get up with her all night, my wife basically “takes over” baby duty when she stops working. The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent.
