And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
I’m a little bummed out today because I realized I will need to tell my work about my pregnancy sooner as opposed to later – we are a small office and it’s become apparent that I cannot wait for our genetic testing results to come back before I tell because we are setting cases for trial before I will know the results. Not expecting negative blowback, but just hate things being outside my control. But I guess I need to get used to that happening more and more. :-/
I’ve had the luxury of getting to work whenever I wanted since returning from maternity leave, but I’m starting to think I need a more consistent (and earlier) arrival time. I wondered if others could share their morning routine with babies or small children, or tips they have for sharing morning baby care with a spouse.
More background: I’m nursing, baby usually winds up in bed with me around 4 am (so showering while she’s sleeping isn’t an option), she wakes up by 6:30 am and usually needs a nap by 8 or 8:30. We leave the house by 9:15 or 9:30 and I get to work around 10 am. Daycare feeds her breakfast. My husband is usually up by 5:30 am and out the door by 7 am.
Help, ladies. My 17 month old used to be a pretty good night sleeper, but a recent bout of sickness and 1 year molars turned her into a monster. And we made the mistake of bringing her into bed with us to try and get some shut eye. Now, we can’t seem to unbreak the habit. We’ve tried to let her cry it out, but she’s an angry monkey and is getting super close to getting out of her crib in her fit of rage (but not climbing out so much as flinging herself out in a way that’s bound to result in injury). In fact, she got her knee stuck between the slats trying to climb out one night and we had to go extricate her (which only caused more anger). Suggestions?
I’m looking for a hot pink or magenta T-shirt maternity dress. Probably for weekends but also for work potentially. Any ideas? Isabella Oliver used to have a great one but that color is no longer available. Thanks!
So this is an embarrassing TJ:
Post-baby I’ve found that reading ‘romantic fiction’ helps me get in the mood (maybe something about taking me out of the mommy role?). I like being back in the mood again. Anyway – looking for suggestions on good books – especially short stories/vignettes as often don’t have a lot of time to read or may be several days between getting time to read. Open to fan fiction type stuff as well.
Prefer something I can read on the tablet not in paper as not ready to admit to anyone in real life (even DH) that I’m doing this – feel a bit cliche.
Don’t mind a bit of D/s but want to read anything that has a messed up concept of consent (50 shades of grey).
