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?
Love this! Especially for casual Fridays- I’m always looking for interesting tops to dress up jeans.
Arrrgh, I’m so annoyed at my ped’s office. They scheduled my daughter’s 18 month appointment wrong (slightly too soon after her 12 month appointment) so she wasn’t eligible to get her second dose of Hep A then. Just the fact that I have to take her back to the doctor just to get this one shot is incredibly inconvenient as a working mom. But on top of that, the soonest they could get her in for the immunization appointment was the end of September and OF COURSE there’s a major Hep A outbreak in our town right now.
I just read through yesterday’s comments and saw a reference to the PCV13 vaccine for adults. How do you actually convince your doctor to give you this vaccine? I have asthma and have had pneumonia within the past few years, and my doctor still refuses to give me the pneumonia vaccine because “it’s not proven to work in adults under 65.”
Has anyone gotten any maternity/nursing clothes from Storq? Some of their stuff looks appealing, and thus far I haven’t had the best luck with finding maternity clothing that lasts even beyond a month!
Just a PSA, because I’ve seen it recommended as a gift here quite a few times – the Highlights Magazine family (Hello!, High Five, etc) subscriptions are a b!tch to cancel. They automatically enroll you in a renewable subscription, and you have to call and wait on hold a while to cancel it, and then they argue with you about why you shouldn’t cancel it. I expect that BS from Comcast but not from a kid’s magazine. Pretty disappointing.
My 16 month old started daycare a month ago. He goes 3 times a week. His teachers are saying that he’s not napping well. He wakes up before the others and cries. They sit with him and comfort him but he rarely falls back asleep. They give him books. He sleeps about an hour. The are four kids in the class and they sleep on cots on the floor. They’re asking us for suggestions but I have no idea how to help. He’s a great sleeper at home. On days he’s home, he does solid 2-3 hour naps in his crib. And sleeps 7:30am to 7:30pm at night on weekdays and sometimes until 9 or 10am on weekends. He doesn’t take a pacifier. Any suggestions of how to help? Should we introduce a lovey?
Random, but does anyone have a link to a school picture collage frame that has several openings for daycare/preschool pictures? The only one I can find is this one: https://www.amazon.com/PersonalizedbyJoyceBoyce-com-Eighteen-Preschool-Kindergarten-1st-11th/dp/B01HK457F6/
and it’s expensive and also I don’t like that it has an opening for both 4 and preschool, since 4 IS preschool and I expect my child to be in kindergarten by the time she’s 5 (yes, I’m obsessed with details). I don’t know why frames with openings beyond K-12 are so hard to find, all the daycares I know take school pictures so it seems like there should be more of a market for this!
Good things to bring to the hospital for labor? My sister has asked me to be with her during labor which of course I’m happy to do. She has all of her essentials packed but I’m wondering if there’s anything useful I should tuck in my bag. My thoughts were snacks for Dad, cell phone charger with the long cord, and those nice fancy wet wipes?
My average height two year old with a super long torso has outgrown the Cosco Scenera NEXT. What’s my next step for a budget-friendly, lightweight car seat? This seat is used in our second car and for occasional airline travel. I’m fine with going either to another convertible or a forward-facing only option. (Yes, I know he’s generally safer rear-facing, but I’ve done the personal risk calculus and am fine with forward-facing in this car.)
Will someone please tell me what specific color to paint the kids’ bathroom? The last few rooms that have been painted have come directly from recommendations here, so I’m not even trying on my own anymore. The bathroom is only used by the kids (boys – 4 and 2) but it is at the top of the stairs, so it’s hard to miss. I want something light and timeless. We have too much gray in the house as it is, so gray is out. The nearby hallway color is SW Sea Salt (I think) and that’s pretty representative of our aesthetic. The other decor in there is blue – blue hippo rug, blue hippo guy on the water spout, and a shower curtain that’s multi colored animals from Target a few years ago. Very standard. And I imagine it will get changed out a few times. :) Thank you!
Hi guys, for a wedding where the couple has asked only that donations be given to a particular charity – what are the logistics? Would I give them a card and some sort of indicator that a donation has been made?
