I am going through the same situation with my grandmother. She has been in the nursing home and we just received a call today that she tested positive. It is so unfair. Hugs.

🥲 so upsetting. It’s like some cruel joke.

My grandfather died in April, my great grandfather died in November. COVID was a part of why they died and why their deaths were so much harder than normal on us all. Still haven’t been able to visit my grandma and hug her. You are not alone. I’m so sorry for what you are going through....

You are not alone...I lost my grandmother to covid on December 23. We thought she beat it because her fever broke and she was at the end of her quarantine period, but then she got worse again and ultimately died a week and a half after getting sick. Covid has also made it impossible for me to be with family as my grandma is buried which makes it even more painful.

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week.

I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.
