In the same situation. I’m asking my parents to fly down from northern CA (we live in San Diego) just in case. Nervous that daycares will start closing but even if they don’t, it would be nice to have the help and option to take my son out of daycare...

Do it. We all have a responsibility to flatten the curve!

Update: daycare closed. So question resolved.

Same here. Closed for the next 2 weeks. Future tbd.

And ask family to watch him before he’s exposed and is a risk to my parents and me. Anyone thinking along these lines? I have to keep working...

Do it.

If nothing happens, you’ll feel like your precautions worked. If you don’t and someone gets sick, you’ll feel like you should have pulled them out. Kids are carriers but don’t seem to get sick themselves.

Where do you live? I personally have started thinking the same thing... I live in TX, we’re starting to have cases pop up, but nothing like Seattle/NYC/CA.... if you’re there, I’d seriously consider it if you can swing it.

I live in GA...and same. Wondering if it’s time to act before it’s too widespread here.

Do the grandparents live with you? If not, safest thing to do is have your children stay away from the grandparents for the time being.

Agree, but I have no alternatives for childcare other than grandparents right now, and have to continue working for another few weeks at least. Hoping that by pulling him out sooner before the virus is too widespread, he won’t catch it and won’t be a risk to any of us.

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.

Hi single parents! How do you cope with being the NOT preferred parent? They say a mom and son bond is unbreakable but my son always chooses his dad 🥲 no matter how hard I try for our relationship, he always misses his dad even if they spent the whole week together. I love that their relationship is strong, but still hurts to know he’s fine without me but not his dad!

I had a miscarriage on Tuesday, my first. I didn’t even know I was pregnant. The Dr. was just as baffled by the timing, but here I am. My head is trying to be practical, but my hormones are raging. I feel like a stranger in my own body. How do women do this and work at the same time? I’m a freelancer, I’m so busy at work, I don’t feel comfortable talking to my coworkers about this. I’m trying to just get through the week but am really struggling.

Hello People,
Looking for advice based on experience. Currently living with in-laws that have come to support us with our first baby. My in-laws and I have had a rocky start to our relationship due to ours being an inter-religion marriage. Many things have been said that I’m neither able to forgive nor forget. I have a very kind husband who understands my sentiments but wants to try to have a cordial relationship with them now for the sake of our baby (and baby’s relationship with grandparents)

5 weeks ago I told my boss we need to start working on a “we’re open again” spot. She basically called me blind for not seeing that the Covid crisis was nowhere near finished and then accused me of not having enough work to do. This morning at 6 am she texted me - “Need you to kick off a ‘we’re open again’ spot with the agency. Tell them they have 1.5 weeks to stand it up.”

I (36F) am married to another woman (34F) and we have a baby (5moF). We split all childcare, cleaning, meal prep, errands etc fairly evenly and it works well. Maybe she cooks more than I do bc she likes it, and I clean more bc I need to have a clean house. My friend (35F) recently took a business trip and literally put a binder together with instructions for her husband re: daycare drop off and pick up, what to feed the kids, when to take out the trash and so on.
