This country is too busy to enjoy a home cooked meal. We had a nice dad here posting about a month ago, poor guy has a tough job and kids sports he was eating junk food for decades. And you wonder why people have kidney stones and joint problems. |
These aren’t the same things at all. |

Maybe you can eat a bit more healthy fats to help brain power up reading comprehension. I said child care, not child birth. |
Um... you know mothers get perimenopause too, right? And so can actually compare the two? The idea that you have to explain perimenopause to mothers is... something. |
Are you talking about peri menopause? Aka 2nd puberty? We expect our kids to go to school, learn huge amounts of information, play travel sports, take high stakes tests, do chores, etc. during puberty. You can do your desk job. - a 48yr old mom of kids under 10 and caretaker of her elderly parents |
Rest of the world have exercise baked into their day: carry grocery, waking child to school, taking stroll to gossip. Here in the states, we gotta pay some overweight CEO of gym chain to exercise in a dirty dingy building. Ewww |
I literally just said these 2 are not comparable 😆 are you ok? |
Yes. Yes it will. When I was going out on maternity leave the 1st time and prepping my transition plan a colleague told me “you think they will solve all these problems and wrap up all these projects while you are out, but 8/10/12/16 weeks and you come back and they are still taking about and spinning wheels on the same things as when you left.” If you are really burned out, you need to negotiate a leave of absence or find a new job. But if you do a LOA or a sabbatical, take it from my maternity leave experience that you will come back to the same issues and team dynamics you left. A leave is to heal You - your body, your mind. If you want your work culture or dynamics to change, you need to get a new job. |
It’s good you don’t work at that bank anymore. It sounds like a toxic culture…and about a decade (or more) ago. Create healthy boundaries with work. If you work in a toxic culture and creating boundaries actually jeopardizes your job, consider finding a new job. |
Maternity leave is not a vacation OP. |
Take FMLA. Maternity leave is a combination of medical leave and bonding leave. If you have a medical issue, take time to address it. |
No. Maternity leave is for those who are caring for children and recovering from childbirth.
If you need a mental health sabbatical, you are free to use the other benefits offered by your employer. |
DP. Yes, we expect that of our adolescents, but everything isn’t fine. Record numbers of kids and teens are suffering from anxiety, depression, and related illnesses. It is no coincidence that many, if not most are living in a way that is in complete opposition to healthy circadian rhythms, healthy diet, relationships, expectations, and activity. |
Right?? I looked forward to returning to work just so I could get a break. |
FFS are you expecting them to check out of life for the duration of puberty? I think you're a troll at this point. |
