This is just to rant lol. I love my mother in law but in small spread out doses. My husband wants her to come and stay with us for six months. She can be so extra, she complains when I don’t immediately respond to her Goodmorning WhatsApp messages, we are in different time zones for crying out loud. Now imagine that for six months!!

At least the time zone difference won’t be an issue anymore! 😂

At least she could tell you good morning in the same time zone in person. Lol

But I feel ya. I'd say no. 6 months is a really long time.

Oof. As much as I love my own mom, idk if I could even do 6 months straight with her.

I hope you're pushing back on this if it bothers you this. But things to consider:
1. why does he want her to stay with you guys? Is it for health reasons?
2. How big is your house? Is it big enough where you would still have your own space and you can get away from her?
3. do you and/or your husband WFH? If so, that would be a huge way to say NO to this scenario.

KPMG2 what are you talking about? “Given he has to pay for you and your life” - how did you infer that the husband is paying all of the bills? It sounds like both spouses work here, OP’s title is Director of Operations. Your husband can have a close relationship with his mom and be a supportive son without his mom moving in for 6 months.

Hi girls,

I joined the current company when I was about 2 months pregnant and they were extremely welcoming.. My baby is now 2+ years and we are planning to have another baby soon. What are your views on opting for the maternity leaves 2nd time within 3.5 years of joining the company? Would it reflect badly on me? Btw, I'm a high perfomer at my company and have also had a promotion recently. I am feeling too guilty but baby no.2 is also a priority given the age factor and the fertility concerns

Is it normal to have let down just on one side? I am 1 week postpartum. On day 4, I had to rush to ER for some@severe pain and was stuck there for 5 hours. During this time I had let down just on my right breast. I assumed the lefy one didn’t have any because I had placed a medella soreness gel pad there. Today again j was sleeping and woke up to feed baby. RealIzed I had let down again only on right side despite more having any gel pad. Is this normal? Should i be worried?

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?

My husband yells at me in front of my 2 years old, even when he is scared. He needs to express his anger out before he can shut down. I am planning to leave him but I am hesitant because I am afraid this would negatively impact my son more, not having a father figure around much.... not the first time, my husband promises multiple time that at least he would control his anger in front of kid but never Lee up the promise...sometimes he would even throw stuff (not at me and my child)...
