I’m not a parent, but I have heard colleagues that @parent_phd founded by @LouiseJupe provides good resources, advice, friendship and community.

Hello PhD Parents. After what feels like forever, I am back. I no longer have a feeding tube but have to be careful as more surgery likely. Slowly easing myself back into work after a long long time off. Starting small. Looking forward to catching up with you all :)

Hi all. I appreciate I have not been on here for some time. Health has improved a lot but... On a serious note, if you have any PT remote work available please do give me a shout. Changes in my home life have now meant I need to bring some income in #phdchat @AcademicChatter

Serious question. Would anybody like to take on The PhD Parents twitter account as health and work have meant I can no longer do so....

This is me! Not my kids!
We have reached the stage where the 2-year-old is refusing to go outside and is instead lying on our bed staring at the ceiling listening to Enter Sandman by Metallica on repeat. The lockdown has turned him into a teenager. #AcademicChatter @parent_phd

Sorry I’ve been absent. My insomnia is the worst it has ever been meaning functioning is difficult. I have tried everything, medical, herbal etc. What works for other insomniacs? I don’t mean those who have a few bad nights, I mean those who struggle for years! @AcademicChatter

The only boundaries we're firm on are meals, snacks, and bedtime (we have a 4-year-old). We are strict about screen time because more than 1.5 hours of it & she's a maniac. But that's it. No schedule otherwise. She doesn't need to put on "real clothes." Etc.
