This top isn’t terribly fancy, but that’s kind of what I like about it. It’s got a nice high neckline, is machine washable, and would make a great layer beneath a sweater, cardigan, or blazer. It’s even on sale — it was $39, but is now on sale for $25, available in sizes XS-XL at Nordstrom. Anne Klein Triple Pleat V-Neck Jersey Top Looking for other washable workwear?

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?
It’s coming down to the wire in my second pregnancy, and I’m just now (yeah, I know, don’t shame me) having the realization that I am not likely going to be able to plan for or control the timing of the birth and I need to have some arrangements in place for handling my first child when I go into labor. She’s in daycare, so assuming it was to happen during the day, we’ve got it covered. But what happens overnight? No family in town. All the grandparents have indicated they will leave at the first peep from us about it, but the closest is 2 hours and farthest is 8-9 hours. Do I plan on waiting for the 2 hour away grandparent to arrive? Other options? Most of our close friends have their own families, which would complicate the leaving in the middle of the night thing. Have any of you had a babysitter or someone on call?

I have an interview for an admin position at a private college this week. It’s going to be a 30% cut in pay, but the vacation/holiday/sick benefits are amazing and the work load and hours will be so much easier than where I am now.
Plus…free tuition for my children. That’s incredible. Reduced hours in summer, so I could be with them more.
I’m feeling torn. If I get the job, it’s kind of the end of my work ambitions because I’ll have to stay until the kids are out of college. I’m always going to be the 2nd income, always going to be the primary “home” parent to handle kid issues. Sure, I could advance within the college, but I could also end up stuck exactly where I am.
I’m 36, not thrilled with the current job I have and not thrilled with the prospects that are out there. Husband got a promotion, so he can cover the pay cut. He’s encouraging me to take it, since it’s a Golden Ticket for our kids. And honestly, a slower-paced job of answering emails and processing registrations sounds like a dream compared to my current stressful nightmare of a job.
Would you do it? Would you lower your title/pay/career trajectory for an opportunity for your kids? Also–keep in mind, my income is never going to be high enough to pay for both girls’ college. This could be a big gift.
anyone used CVS express? I absolutely 100% do not work for CVS or anyone like that. But I have been saying for YEARS that I wish the drive-thru CVS would be available for things like baby food and TP and the like. I have a new infant and two other kiddos and if it’s raining, we do not go into stores. I LOVE the pick-up options for grocery stores but you have to order days in advance. this looks like only a few hours? SWOON. Is this a new thing or have I been living in newborn isolation too long?
I also pay about double what i should because I go across town to the drive thru dry cleaners.
Hello! We are considering an au pair due to some changing work schedules. Would anyone be able to offer advice, warnings, what you wish you had asked candidates, etc? As background, we have a 4.5 year old only child who attends pre-K until 3 each day. Au pair would assist after school a couple days a week and some evenings/weekends. Thanks in advance!
Missed yesterday’s conversation about the AAP’s new sleep guidelines but feel the need to say that all the articles I’ve seen on this lump suffocation stats into the SIDS stats – am I the only one who is completely pissed off by this? Are any of you seeing data that’s more “pure”? On top of this, I’ve been told that in cases where it’s thought the baby was suffocated by a pillow, blanket, bumper, whatever, but foul play is not suspected, sometimes cause is listed as SIDS for the parents’ sake (adecdata, yes, but this was information from someone in a position to know/decide such things, so at least some stats, even if they’re just in my area, may be skewed).
If there’s a statistically significant benefit to room sharing, great, by all means inform parents of this. But don’t mix that with stats from babies who were put to sleep somewhere other than on a firm mattress covered with a fitted sheet in an otherwise totally empty crib. And don’t discredit sleep deprivation and the risks inherent in that! As some commenters pointed out yesterday, the risks of sleep deprivation could be greater than the benefit of room sharing – life doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
I am happy that safer bed-sharing tips are being addressed to some extent. But I don’t understand how stats of babies who slept with parents in beds that had pillows, blankets, flowing nightgowns, etc. or worse can accurately be used to try to dissuade moms from sleeping with their infants on a firm mattress with only a fitted sheet… or, if they’re not actively planning to bed-share, from putting themselves in what would be a safer bed-sharing situation in the event they fall asleep when they’re not intending to fall asleep.
I know I’m venting here. However, I’m also curious if anyone can explain to me where my thinking is off-track so I can reconsider.
I’m in house. My little boy had a CT Monday where I squeezed in my work before, after and at night. This morning, he was scheduled another procedure in ten days under general anesthesia. Yesterday, I asked my office about going part-time during this, but was told that it wouldn’t change my workload. I asked about flex scheduling (four 10 hour days or four nine hour days and one four hour day). I was told that they would help but that it has to be in line with “corporate policy” and “everyone has to be treated the same.” No one else has a flex schedule. I was just asked to meet an impossible deadline by end of day today, and I just can’t do it. I do not think I am being unreasonable. My job, which I took in no small part because it was “family friendly” has turned out to be anything but. I’m putting out feelers for a new gig.
Help. Still carrying almost all the babyweight from #1 and am now pregnant with #2 (hooray) but I feel like I’m showing and it is too early to tell work. Suggestions of how to best conceal? Business casual workplace and I’m cusp (almost plus) size. Thanks!
