Yes, the US’s lack of nationally required PAID maternity leave is frustrating at best. It’s wonderful that the Netherlands requires 6 weeks BEFORE and 12 after. Is it paid?
Yes, it's paid! And dads get 6 weeks of paid leave, too, although that's quite new (since this year I think, it wasn't like that with our first 2 in 2017 and 2019. As this is our third and last I'm glad we get to enjoy this!). It's paid through the government though, so my employer pays me but they get the money refunded by the government. We also are allowed to take some 'care' leave in the first year for about 70% of your usual pay. Artemesia's garden, I'm glad you got it worked out! Good luck on the final weeks and I hope you enjoy your leave

Well, my 5yo watched it as she loves the movie and the gen5 characters in general, but it didn’t seem to enchant her like the movie did either. She watched the episodes once and is now back to Gabby’s Playhouse. ‘It’s just for kids’ never works, kids aren’t dumb and if the story is not enticing, they’re just not as interested.

The final weeks can be hard, physically but I also noticed both times I really felt the urge to retreat into my own house, if that makes sense. I hope everything works out for you! Good luck dear.

Oooh I love those Celestial Ponies. So excited for actual new gen1 ponies! I sold most of my collection and I promised myself I wouldn’t buy more ponies, but I might need to get one of these (or more, if ny daughter likes them too…  ).

I live in The Netherlands, so I had 6 weeks maternity leave before I had my baby and then 12 weeks after as per government regulations. The 6 weeks before were fine, but I felt the 12 weeks were too little afterwards. Thankfully my employer allowed all pregnant women to work 50% for their first month after their leave.
Sorry about your situation. It always breaks my heart a little to see you US folks struggle with this. My second baby was 4 days later than his due date, I don’t know anyone who went more than a week over. (My first was induced at 38). Good luck with everything dear!

yes! I still love them even though I don't have too much time for my doll collection at the moment. Follow me on Instagram, aienhime_dolls
Oooh! I love your photos! Your dolls are so beautiful.
Thank you so much! I try my best! I absolutely love photography. I hope I can find more time when my daughter goes to school next year.

Still Pullip! Also have 3 smart dolls and a bunch of nendoroids, but Pullip is still my main interest.

Hi guys, thanks. I decided to sell my MOC's (a lot) and the rarer ones seperately, the rest I will just sell as one big lot. Is there anyone willing to help me figure out fair prices for these? In return you'd get a discount and first pick! Just drop me a PM.

Hi all!
I have an almost complete gen2 collection; only some super rare ones are missing (like the blue haired Ivy). I know I have a bunch that are worth a lot and some that are worth nothing at all, but the truth is I have no time to sort it all out. I just need to get rid of them as soon as possible, but I also would like to get at least some money for the rare ones at least. I will only keep about 20 that are dear to me.
Should I just sell it as one big lot? Would anyone be even interested in that? Or should I take out the rarest ones to sell separately and sell the rest as a lot?
Update: I'm still getting a lot of PM's over this, I sold my entire collection to a fellow collector so I no longer have any gen2 for sale. thanks!

I'm @aienhime ! Not just ponies though, also Disney and Sylvanian Families, mostly.

I'm not going to let my kid play with 30 year old plastic that is leaking.. so the BF ponies certainly have a reason to exist beyond just collectors collections. It would of been lame to have the original 6 + 4 others.
^ this. I like my old gen1 as a collection, but the retro BF ponies are fun for my kids to play with, should they ever be interested in ponies. I don't feel comfortable with them handling old plastic which has plasticizers and other materials that are now forbidden in children's toys. I just wish that, for collectors, they made more original ponies! They have the molds, why keep reproducing ponies that already exist? They could make new gen1 ponies and I'd buy literally ALL of it! I love the Stranger Things AJ SO much, please make more!

Aaaah this is so familiar! I used to have a small Sylvanians collection but parted with them as I didn't have any space and they were just sitting in storage. We've moved to a bigger house since, though, and I decided I could start collecting them with my daughter if she likes them when she is older. Somehow though, the treehouse, two families and a few baby sets have moved into our spare room. How'd that happen? They're just so cute...
