I am interviewing for a program specialist position for a virtual charter school. I am also going to be a first time Mom come July. If I get the position, I plan to take my leave in accordance with the policy of the school. But I am curious if anyone has had success in having a baby and WFH in the education setting. I have support with my family so they can watch the baby while I take meetings. The appeal of this position for me is lack of commute and less time away from my baby. I have always enjoyed working from home in the past (COVID, and other times) so I’m not too worried about the WFH piece alone. But would appreciate the perspective of young parents.

We are now at the 1 year mark of knowing something was wrong with our dog and no one taking us seriously when we tried to advocate for him. He died weeks later, horrifically, and I think about the day he died every single day. I miss him so much. I would give anything to have him back even for a minute just to see his eyes. I don’t know how one year came up so quickly… I fear I’ll never move on. Sometimes this grief feels unbearable.
