@elf828 Where do I find the BumpHQ thread? I think I figured out part of what is making me so sad to go. I was proud of F14 for remaining so active so long after our babies have been born when so many of the boards around us were ghost towns. Now we're a ghost town over there too. It's all conflicting emotions because I'm proud that we're all still together here too.
Yet another person made a "aww, poor DD" comment when they learned my next thyroid appointment is on her birthday.
That's like four family members and a two friends.
Is it really that horrible that I have a 9am appointment on her birthday?
Uh I was not under the impression that first birthdays are to be observed all day. I'm still planning to take LO to daycare on her birthday. And really wha better gift can you give DD than a healthy mama?
This!! I hope the appointment goes well for you!! I'm sure that DD will love her special birthday field trip - because that's how a one year old views a trip to the doctor
armfruit I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I'd call mom and tell her that her sick kid simply can't be at your house. She has one hour to pick him up. It's inconvenient for her, yes. But you're not sick care. You can't deal with a sick kid plus healthy kids. Plus it's not fair if sick kid gets your LO sick. You have to protect yourself too. But -- I did want to give you a high five for excellent usage of fwanted!
MissDemeanor - I hope you had a safe, easy flight yesterday!! I was just thinking of you this morning and hoping your feeling a bit better since getting home
@elf828 that thread and the "bad apples" post completely pushed me off the fence. If that's the way they're comfortable portraying their opinions of users, can you imagine what their actual opinions of us are? Gross.
rondackhiker people are ridiculous. She has no idea it's her birthday.
I don't think I can go to TB today during work hours. Too much of a certain word that's not Catholic school appropriate!
Hahaha. All I can think of right now is that scene from the Christmas Story where he loses the nuts and the following happens: Ralphie: fuuuuuuudge VoiceOver: but I did not say 'fudge.'

@elf828 thanks for the heads up on the thread on TB. I'm going to go over there and read it this morning once I get into work. How do we request deletion of our accounts? It makes me sad that we're all having to leave that place, but I think it's so amazing that in such a short time we have all collaborated here. It just goes to show how strong we are as a group. It doesn't matter where we convene, we will stay togetger! Solidarity my sisters!
shellbell I did text her. She wants me to give him Tylenol and someone will be here in a few hours. Great. I'm really sure she has no one else, but she could have called and talked to me about that ya know? I probably would have said ok and sent my kid to my mom's or something. I will do whatever to be helpful. But lying to me and telling your kid to lie to me (I can't play with you today Isaac) is crap.
I wouldn't want to provide care to someone who would lie to me.
So, this is probably a dumb question, but I'm technologically challenged: how can I find my birth story while mobile? Or can I only do that on a desk top?

armfruit that is BS. I would text her back and tell her what time she must pick him up. You have such a kind heart, but don't let yourself be taken advantage of!! (I'm too tired to figure out how to fix that sentence so it doesn't end in a preposition)
At most of the daycares I toured you had to pick up a sick child within an hour or face massive monetary penalties.
My boss was early for work today, typically he rolls in about an hour or two after I do. Of course today was the day I was running late and he wont stop talking about how early he got here and how he beat his whole team in. Whatever! Where is the eye-roll smiley when I need it??

armfruit is this the same woman you've worked for in the past? She seems like she has no respect for you. And that really sucks. Easier said than done, but it sounds like you need to lay down some ground rules with her (not only about the sick kid, but about being drop off times too, because her time is no more valuable than yours). Maybe you already have. I hope she or someone does actually pick up her kid.
I have an uneventful day - one last daycare to look at. It bought me a little more sleep since DH didn't have to go in to work at 8. It's the little things!
rondackhiker people are being ridiculous. My kid will be going to daycare on her first birthday. I will most likely cancel tutoring that night, but I still won't see her until around 5 (it wouldn't be until 6:30 if I had tutoring).
tLex Good luck today at the appointment! Hope it goes well!
My randoms: I don't want to be at work today at all. We have had such a crazy week (2-hour delay, snow day, and early dismissal) that the idea of working a full day seems ridiculous. Also, kudos to you ladies who do randoms everyday. It's only 9:00 and I feel like it is a lot to keep up with!

My DC rule is that you must pick up the kid ASAP. There isn't a specific time, but they are also able to separate the sick kid from the rest of the children by taking that kid to the office.

That’s awesome shellbell Happy birthday to your LO @cara5565! hashtagrainbow Will I see you and L tomorrow still?
I took the day off to prepare for A's party tomorrow. I dropped him off at daycare so I can get shit done and I'm at home for a minute and realized this is the first time I've been alone in my house for an entire year.
