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?
Everyone around me is having babies, so another gifting question:
My SIL just had a c-section and added another nephew to our family, yay! We are visiting in a few weeks for the baptism and will bring some meals then, but I’d like to send her some stuff to help with c-section recovery in the meantime. What products were helpful to you in recovery? Belly band? Scar cream?
Personal shoppers wanted! Having my first baby shower a little early at ~24 weeks because my sister is moving a few states away. It’s at 2 p.m. What should I wear?
I am planning on taking 10 full weeks of maternity leave and then 2 weeks part time. Right now I am thinking 2 weeks of half days. Would I be better off with a different arrangement, such as 2 1/2 or 3 days for the last two weeks?
Question: How much are you willing to spend on your kid’s activities? In terms of both time and money?
I have my 9 year old signed up for dance classes ($150 per month, multiple evenings per week and Saturday) and my youngest in dance and soccer ($80 per season + equipment). Summer camps this year just about killed me, and I’m facing the new school year feeling resentful. I love my girls and I want to give them lots of opportunities, but I’m burned out by the schedule and the bills. Is this just part of being a parent and I need to suck it up?
