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?
My kid loved this thing from age 1-3. It’s not as horribly out of tune as some of the other kids toys and it has volume control! http://www.target.com/p/b-woofer-hound-dog-guitar/-/A-13527758
Our kiddo loves music too, and Santa brought her a piano mat– it’s a big fave. So are books that have a musical keyboard attached. I think Elmo’s Piano is a particular highlight…
My 7.5 mo daughter loves music. She always loved when I sang songs to her when I was home with her, but it is clear from her first two weeks in daycare that she loves music in general (watching people play guitar, playing with maracas, etc.). Does anyone have any recommendations for musical toys I could get her to play with at home?
We are welcoming our first au pair tomorrow afternoon! We are so excited, and a tad nervous. I have poured over the site au pair mom. Any last minute advice on welcoming her?
Recommendations for a sulfate-free, tear-free kids’ shampoo? I was surprised to learn that all the kid-brands at my grocery store have parabens and sulfates and was hoping to avoid them, but also get the benefit of being tear-free. Recos?
I recently moved and need to have my OB records transferred to my new provider. My previous practice said they would charge per page to send my records to the new provider. Is this typical? Of course I would expect to pay if I were requesting a personal copy, but I’ve never heard of being charged for provider-to-provider transfer. I was with this provider for six years with a high risk pregnancy, c-section delivery, and miscarriage, so the cost of copying all these records at their rate is not insignificant. I’m annoyed, but not sure if I’m entitled to be.
Any advice for a 5-year-old who has horrible separation anxiety and refuses to sleep in his bed? TIA. Parents are divorced; I’m the step-mom.
Ovulation Predictor Kits–love them? hate them?
I was fortunate to get pregnant with my daughter very quickly. It’s taking a bit longer for number two. Normally I would just go with it, but I am still nursing my almost 17-month old 3 times a day, and my period has kind of been all over the place ever since I got it back postpartum.
I’m not interested in full blown charting. It sounds too complicated and I don’t think I would keep up with it. Just wondering if any others used OPKs and found them helpful. Also any particular brand recommendations? Those little things aren’t exactly cheap!
I really want to love Clarks – but haven’t been overly thrilled with my most recent pair of flats. While the external has held up well, the inside is just beat to pieces (even after a supergluing adventure to try to get more life out of them). The support is gone and the inside of the shoe is ragged. They’re a little over a year old.
How long to you expect your work shoes to last, especially if you wear them 95% of your work schedule? I do not walk to work, nor do I have much call to walk extensively while at work.
Ladies, what laundry detergent did you use for your newborn? I feel overwhelmed by all the options available. Is organic necessary? If yes, which one? There are so many ratings for toxicity.
Thanks in advance!
I’m totally overwhelmed by all of the sleep training books out there. Any recommendations? Books to avoid? Good summaries online that I haven’t found yet? Thanks in advance!
Did anyone hear the new podcast, Science Vs on attachment parenting (link to follow)? It basically debunked this whole method and said it doesn’t actually lead to secure attachment and that parts of it may actually be harmful (eg cosleeping). At the end it also noted that something like up to 80% of a kid’s personality is based on genetics and that parenting has little effect one way or the other. In some ways that makes me feel better – no matter what we do, the kids will end up how they end up because of something determined pre-birth.
