See a doctor now and mention that your insurance may change so that you have a supply of your meds when that happens.

You want to write fiction? If so I say go for it NOW. You do need an immediate income so try to get a job you can survive with and that does not take a lot of your time like admin. assist. and write write write!

I assume you are in the US. I hate the US healthcare system. These are calculations you should not be doing in a developed country.

The two week wait is the worst! Try keeping yourself distracted with fun stuff unrelated to conceiving. I hope you keep posting here about your journey into motherhood. Also, good luck!

Yeah I know. My mom is also a fan of Love in the Time of Cholera which has a very similar premise. I know a couple of stories like that in real life and it seems like the person is only infatuated with the idea of the other person. I agree that it is a little creepy and the best one can do would be to move on if you…

I asked my mom who is a fan of the movie and she told me the appeal is that in her experience men are never constant in their affection. The Ryan Gosling character loved the female lead for years and years and that is hard to find. I have to clarify that my father was a serial philanderer. 

Many (I would say most in my area) daycare facilities do not take infants. Many want only toddlers 1.5 years old and older or children that can walk by themselves steadily.

That is the point. If instead of doing the work I prepared for 6 years after college to do I stop to clean my house and so do all the other workers with graduate degrees in the government things grind to a halt. That is exactly the point.

That’s the way it was where I used to live (I just moved) I lived in the upper middle class suburbs of a big city in Texas. 

I am using something like that to find a nanny because we also just moved and I know nobody here. I am using something like care.com and I am also planning to talk to people in my local church but it is hard to do word-of-mouth being new here and knowing nobody.

Is it going to ever get better? I am losing hope.

Precisely!

Everything that crosses your mind deserves to be put as a comment in this forum. That’s what forums are for, right?

I have bypassed the “regular” application process plenty of times and at least once gotten a job by doing so. Bypassing the regular application process is often more likely to result in at least the HR department looking at your resume in my experience. Don’t thank me for the career advice! I gave it to your for free…

There must be a balance, right? I also come from a poor country and observed all the evils discussed here about pushing formula to mothers that do not need it in the third world (my mom had to breastfeed my brothers in hiding in the hospital because they did not allow breastfeeding at all!). Then I had my children…

I think my very very last resort would be to talk to a therapist to find out if there is any kind of technique you can use to communicate to your father that his words hurt you. Right now that fact does not seem to be sinking in for him. If there is no way you can make him understand that you may have to stop speaking…

I volunteered as a way to make friends. I found some really nice caring people that way. I also weirdly made friends at gym classes. Just talk to other young women there. It helps if you do yoga or some other class that is popular with the youngs these days.

Good point. I think some people really want to speak up though even if it comes at considerable risk. Some people are just tired of hiding when they have done nothing wrong. Even rape has an expiration date as a crime but not crossing the border, are you kidding me? (rethorical of course). Anyway, the point is, her…

Descubri un libro de rimas para ninos que trae muy bonitos poemas. Si puedes conseguir Chamario, esta excelente. Mis ninos estan muy peques para entenderlo pero a mi me encanta leerselos de todos modos. http://www.ekare.com/ekare/chamario/

This is better for your soul and mind in the long run. Hang in there!
