Working full time

Just looking to see what people are doing work wise? I work full time and my LO is in nursery 4 days a week. However I do find it a struggle trying to balance it all especially if my LO wakes during the night, it is exhausting then getting up for work. I used to work hybrid but I don’t get that with my new job and in the office 5 days a week.

I'm only working part time, 18hrs a week, little one goes nursery 3 1/2 days a week, so i work on those days, I'm sure he knows when I have work tho as he tends to give me a hard time when I have work the following morning 🫠

I’ve just dropped to 34hours and condensed to 4 days so do 8-5. I work for the NHS in finance so they’re pretty good with flexible working.
My girl wakes in the night once still so I sympathise with you on being tired!
Hope you’re surviving ok x

I have been working full time with my boy in nursery five days a week. I solo parent about 80% of the time and I’ve been in pure struggsville since going back and have approached about reducing my hours either to 34 or 30. This is so I can try take care of everything else we have in life in those few hours as weekends are a write-off with my whirlwind 🙃

I work part time, 3 days a week. It worked out that way only because the childminder only had set days and I was on supply so could choose what days I worked.

I work full time, 5 days, and my little girl is in nursery 4 days, with my MIL 1 day. The only way I get anything done is because I WFH 3 days a week, so I get all the cleaning and laundry done.

I work 32 hours over 4 days. It’s a very flexible job with no start/finish time and I could work 10 hours one day and 6 hours the next day. 2X days in the office and 2X days at home. I wouldn’t be able to work 32 hours without the flexibility so hats off to you and others in more structured roles x

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
