And also for the grant? Thankyou🩵

i’ve been a SAHM for a year and a half now and was just looking on indeed out of curiosity what’s out there. however, if i were to return to work i wouldn’t want to put our child into day care so it would have to be evenings and weekends which i feel is limiting. returning to work isn’t a must, nor does my partner e...

How is anyone able to qualify for WIC? Everyone keeps saying I should get on it so it made me think it would be easier. Does everyone just lie about household income? Is this easy to do?

I chuckle every time I get a post about how they are a 'present mom' because they play with their kids before preschool drop-off and play in the evening before what it sounds like 7pm bedtime. Their posts don't mention the several nannies they have to cover the various parts of the day and sleep training, the cleani...
