I'm 32w4d and I work as a waitress. My plan is to stop working at 36 weeks and return six weeks after I deliver if all goes well. Now the thing is, I don't qualify for FMLA or any sort of disability reimbursement through the company ( Read more... )

So I work at a Taco Bell and am currently a shift manager. We're going to have two openings soon for an assistant manager positions. My boss has already told me a few times this year that I'm top on the list to be promoted next. But today I was talking to the assistant that will be leaving soon and he was saying that the boss might not consider me ( Read more... )

So I was reading through one of the books I received from my doctor's office. It mentioned in there that a law exists in Wisconsin stating that workplaces have to treat pregnancy as a disability ( Read more... )

Ok so I made the move almost 3 weeks ago.. I moved away from my financially challenged boyfriend (& he broke up with me like a week before that - we have a WINNA!)

I know this is a really terrible question to ask, but since I'm writing up my Advance Medical Directive, I was curious what others were thinking about.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to discriminate against renting to parents with small kids, but I'm ( Read more... )

So I keep reading everywhere that it's really important to have a will once the baby is born. I'm sort of confused on that, because aside from a pretty decent book collection and an ancient computer, I don't really own anything of value. I have no insurance policies or anything (tho' I probably should look into that now, right?). I own no property ( Read more... )

The fiance & I are planning on making our best friends our son's Godparents. 1.) Is there anything specific we have to do to makes this "official" or is it just a spoken thing? 2.) What's everyone's opinions on the whole Godparent thing anyway? EDIT: Seems I was in the wrong understanding of what godparents were! I thought it was simply people ( Read more... )

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and im going to go try to get my drivers license in the next couple of weeks. do you think they would say anything to me, like I should wait till she's born to get my license or something?

So I have been responsibly employed with a county job for a couple of years...except now I am going to get laid of in August.   I am due in January, so I would really like to get another job (I tend to go crazy otherwise).  Well, then again I started thinking that it might make more financial sense to collect unemployment for a while.  Really, I am ( Read more... )
