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?
Had a rough weekend with kiddo. The silver lining was that I did an epic ponytail this morning and everyone at school wanted to compliment kiddo on it. How do you all cope when you feel like you’re failing at parenting?
I will be flying cross country at 24 weeks and would like to buy compression socks or stockings. I haven’t started swelling yet, but would like to have them just in case. Are knee highs sufficient or do I need full stockings? Any preferred brands or fabrics, or other tips? TIA!
Any advice for the “mine, mine, mines?” My daughter is 19 months, and she started grabbing items and yelling “mine” this weekend. I know it’s completely age appropriate, but I’m hoping to find a good way to respond. Last night, my husband was holding a toy, and she grabbed it and yelled “mine” and wouldn’t hand it back to him. When he asked if he could have it, she stomped her little feet and yelled “no, mine, mine, mine” over and over again. I eventually took the toy away and explained that if she couldn’t share, then she couldn’t play with the toy. She threw a little fit – I let her cry for approximately a minute and then redirected her to another toy. Is that the best approach for a 1.5 year old? You guys have been such a great source of advice in the past, so thanks in advance!
Returning to work next week from maternity leave… need some shopping help. Low maintenance shirts for a business casual environment that can camouflage my giant nursing b**bs and extra baby weight? does such a magical top exist?
What is the best way to search the comments of past posts? I believe folks have discussed in the past how to handle discipline for a hitting/scratching/kicking/biting 20 month old? Thanks.
So, my 21 month old has been pooping in the tub everyday for the past three weeks. After her bath water drains, she tells me she needs to poop. I suggest moving to the toilet (i hold her over it, no kid seat yet), she will pee in the toilet, then asks to go back to the tub to poop. Gross, but it is sort of working. Does this mean it is time to potty train? Tips?
Ladies, I’m 18 weeks along and constantly hungry. An hour or two after a meal that would have kept me in full for 4-5 hours pre-pregnancy, I’m hungry again. I’m less concerned about my ballooning weight (though it certainly is that) than I am irritated by the constant, gnawing, extremely distracting hunger. Any tips on keeping my appetite in check?
Does the 4-month sleep regression usually resolve on its own or do I need to do something at some point to help my kid learn to sleep longer (I am willing to do about anything at this point). I went from a 3-month-old who I could lay in his crib fully awake at bedtime and he would fall asleep on his own and sleep for 8 hours to a baby who will only fall asleep while being held and wakes up every 2 to 3 hours throughout the night to eat. It started around 3 1/2 months and has been going on for a month now (he’s 4 1/2 months now).
