My Arab dad is such a meme. He sends me pregnant man 🫃 emoji to tell me he has eaten too much or he is too full. Hahahaa

Laugh of the day. I exclusively pumped (baby didn’t like BF) until month 5 and stopped due to supply tanking and going back to work. Now my baby is on formula and needs a special kind because of cow milk protein allergy. Of course the formula is hard to find because of the shortage so I’m having family around the country get samples from their Pediatricians to send to me. This morning my dad goes to me “Why don’t you just breastfeed him instead, it’s better for babies anyway”. 🙄

Looking for advice on who the hot creative agencies are these days. I’ve been out of the adworld too long to know. My boss, Mother Nature wants me to pitch a unique climate change campaign that would involve several advertisers especially in the kids’ market. Thanks.

Is an iphone too expensive as a (belated) mother’s day gift? My mother needs a new phone and has been using iphone for a long time. She is now retired and probably can’t afford an iphone, but she’d want an iphone to use facetime, and privacy. MIL has money but uses cheaper phones. I want to buy one for my mom and MIL as well (for fairness). But somehow it also seems like a big spend as we’re also paying mortgage. We’re immigrants and also we pay for flights etc every year for parents. WWYD?

I’m so down and anxious about going back to work after maternity leave. I don’t think I can do it and I don’t want to do it. I would be a SAHM if I could but I’m the primary breadwinner for our family. I can’t sleep I’m so sad and worried.

Wife and kid are going to be out of town for the next 2 weeks. Instead of wasting time, I’d like to do something productive. What would you do if you have say 3+ hours a day. Maybe self help, wealth creation type books, work out daily, take care of some things around the house.

Funny experience - I was in the line at a craft store and started chatting with the people around me. Person in front of me was annoyed about having to craft valentines for her kid's class. Person behind me was getting a late start on his kid's science project. They asked me what I was in for. Me: oh I don't have kids, so I'm picking up a new hobby (watercoloring). Them: oh. You must have a lot of free time and money huh. Me: yeah it's pretty great 😃👍

Custody case last week. On direct: Dad testifying about how his contact name in Mom's phone is baby daddy. (Pretending to cry): "it's derogatory, I know my child thinks I'm just a baby daddy." During recess: Me to the GAL: will you dare me to sing the baby daddy song in court? GAL: I'd pay to see that. Me, on cross: Mr. L, isn't that an inside joke bt you and Ms. L. Doesn't it come from the song from the 90s, "who dat is, that's just my baby daddy, who dat is..." (singing the song in th

Renegotiating my contract and curious about maternity leave policies at other practices/hospitals. Do you get paid leave? If so how much time off & are you getting full pay? We are a group of about 75 employees, 6 docs with 5 PA’s and only unpaid 12 weeks off.

For those of you working from home, do you know whether your coworkers will be throwing a baby shower for you? I feel like without being visibly pregnant to most people (since we are not in the office), I feel like I’m going to miss out on having one which is kind of a bummer since I’ve always gotten gifts for others.

I’m at the point that I start trembling every time I get an email alert. It’s the little things piling up that is getting to me. The to do list full of, “send emails to X about Y,” “follow-up re this,” “revise the 100 small things the baby lawyer drafted.” Tasks that might take 15 minutes to an hour individually, but all together it’s a lot. I’m the bottle neck. I’m the one who needs to move these things along. But there’s always something bigger and more urgent. Nothing’s ever FINISHED.

Just recently found out Im pregnant and another 33 week wait looks like forever. Any tips to cope with it?

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?
