Anyone have any experience with high deductible insurance plans with a newborn? Trying to decided if I should add my newborn onto my HDHP (I've met my $2700 deductible through delivery but my baby will have his own $2700 deductible to meet). Alternatively I could add him to my spouses regular insurance with a lower deductible/higher premium.

Did anyone here deliver a 10 pound baby? If yes, can you please share your childbirth experience and what you ended up going with?
Doctor told me I’m on track to deliver a 10 pound baby and I’m terrified, I passed the 3 hour glucose test but they’re going to test me again due to the size of the baby.

First time mom thinking of getting the owlet. Did you have your baby monitor from day 1? Or when baby slept in their own room / longer stretches? I just envision the first few weeks of pretty much being glued to the bed and bassinet and then will know if I really want an Owlet or something else.

I just found out today that I have PCOS. Anyone of you have it and still managed to get pregnant? How did you do it? I am feeling pretty deflated about this.

My husband and I are going to start trying soon and are trying to get on the same page regarding childcare. I suggested daycare but my husband says he absolutely doesn’t want a “stranger” watching our child. Instead, he wants our moms to watch our child. My mom doesn’t have the best health and can’t really be relied on so that leaves his mom. I’ve said for years that I don’t want our moms to be our childcare. Is there a way to compromise here? Any idea that’s not a parent = stranger to him 😩

Do you fly out to family for the holidays or do they come to you? We're hosting Christmas for the first time and having the entire family come to town for it. What are some can't miss holiday events in the city? Ideally accessible because my father is in a wheelchair.

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Oof. Crying like crazy. My in laws called me and were insanely emotionally abusive about my grief. It’s Father’s Day and we had a wedding to go to. I didn’t expect to be this affected but something triggered my grief. So I didn’t go. They called me and said such toxic things and implied I need “help”. Yes it’s been 2 years but I also do a lot for my family and husband and others. It’s very rare that my grief gets triggered. I’m allowed to have 1 bad day out of 365.

UK specific query - If my company cannot find me clients/work and want to dismiss me because they are unable to find work for me at no fault of my own do they have to provide a severance package?
UK law says it’s easy to dismiss employees with less than 2 years service but it’s a big grey area. Anyone got any experience with this?

What are some of the best resources to sharpen my voice acting skills?

Hi all! I’m wondering what your thoughts are on HR texting with employees (especially if you support 100+). To me, texting with employees is problematic because it is so easy to misconstrue a text, there’s no set start/end to a “conversation”, and it disrupts boundaries. I’m in a hotel with 545 (I should add we have a often volatile Union environment so ee’s “hang on” to words and are always looking for managers to make mistakes). It’s just my Director and I running HR (Continued in comments)

Unethical Persona Finance Tip:

Put your mortgage on forbearance and stack up and save as much as you can. We don't know when this will be over, the forbearance won't hurt your credit score (yes, you will pay interest), but when all said and done you can save 6 months to 1 year of your most important expense in case 💩 hits the fan.

Nothing hits the fan, you would have saved enough to probably put the down-payment on that vacation home you always wanted to get.

New employer’s parental leave policy is silent on whether you have to return to work for a certain period after the leave in order to avoid having to pay back to leave. Are pay back clauses common?

Any advice from moms who did Babywise? We did it for our first and it went PERFECTLY. Now 2nd kid is 3 weeks old and im having a much harder time and don’t know how to solve our issues. She’s trying to eat every 2 hours some days, she was doing 4.5 hour night stretches but stopped & now wakes every 2.5-3 hrs at night. She’s waking at 5:30-6:00 am when we want a 7 am wake time. Maybe she needs a later first wake time in the AM?. . I can’t seem to get her on a real schedule.
