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?
I think I’ve been envisioning it as some sort of duty. Now I think how much I would have to give up. Not to mention that I am pretty sure it may really affect my marrriage. All of a sudden I’m thinking why on earth would I do that to myself. We’re not wealthy, no family in town. My son is friendly and outgoing, just like my only child extrovert husband. Why mess with a pretty good thing?
Looking for ideas under $30…
I always thought I tied two kids. We have a 4yo boy. It occurred to me today that we all might be better off just getting a second dog honestly. So weird to change sides.
Late in the day, but please read/reply.
Do daycares give discounts for bad injuries to the child? Last week my daughter (1.5 years old) fell off a chair at daycare and hit her face on a block on the floor. Could have injured the eye (didn’t – thankfully), but got a nasty shiner. Today they called because she feel off her chair backwards and are now monitoring her for a possible concussion.
My first priority is her safety, but I also feel like I’m paying a ton of money with the expectation that she will be well-cared for. I feel like something more than a “it was an accident, which we’re monitoring” is warranted. Something to make me feel better. If it were Starbucks or the car dealership or something other than my daughter, I would fight for a discount. But I’m not sure the same logic applies…can you enlighten me?
For reference, this is a large, corporate facility.
Need sock help for my 8 year old boy – he has very sensitive feet and over-reacts to any seams near his toes. We’ve been buying Stance socks, but they are painfully expensive ($10/pair) and don’t hold up over the long-term (he does wear the same pairs multiple times per week, so this may be overuse and not Stance’s fault). Anyone have any recommendations for other brands that might be good to try out?
I’m not sure if I’m the best or the worst person to offer advice on this topic because we have run the gamut of sleeping arrangements! We tried a bassinet (pack n play), rock n play, crib, and cosleeping in the newborn days and cosleeping was really the easiest for me. We brought him into our bed at night until he was 6-7 months old when we night weaned and moved him to his crib. We put a twin mattress+boxspring on the floor in his room when he was around 12 months and it was incredibly useful for a return to cosleeping as his one-year molars came in.
I guess what I’m saying is that flexibility may be your best bet, so I would keep the mattress and be ok with not using it :)
Also, you may not have to change baby every time they nurse (but you might!). My little guy grew out of the poop-every-time-he-ate phase by 2-3 weeks. Good luck!
Question about baby sleeping arrangements…
I have the opportunity to leave a full-size mattress on the floor in the nursery (keeping the whole bed would not fit, but I think just the mattress on the floor would). That would give me the option of either cosleeping on the floor mattress (which sounded like the safest cosleeping option for babies that will only sleep on you, though I hope to God mine is not like that) or just sleeping in there with baby in the crib.
I’d planned to keep baby in a bassinet next to my bed, but someone pointed out to me that you still need to get up to change the baby every time they nurse. Is it better to decamp to baby’s room or keep them in with you?
I don’t have to decide immediately, worst case is we move the mattress to storage and then decide we need it and have to move it back, but I’m wondering if there’s strong anecdotal evidence for a preference of sleeping with baby in their room as opposed to bringing baby into yours.
Our entire family had the stomach flu over the weekend (I was Patient Zero, starting Thursday night) and my husband and I are barely back at work today. It reminded me so much of my first six months of pregnancy that my “maybe we should have another!” thoughts got pushed back at least a few more months. I feel like I remember reading a similar post from someone else last week and all I can say is SOLIDARITY. This was our first full-family illness – the baby is 9 months, my stepdaughter is with us part time and is 11 – and it was brutal. I am just grateful that with my husband and I it seemed to go in waves so at least one of us could change a diaper at any given moment.
What sunscreens are your favorite for infants and toddlers? Ideally looking for something that is easy to apply.
Dear co-worker: What part of “I am home with pneumonia so don’t send me a million e-mails demanding I take care of trivial things right this minute” is so difficult to understand? Sigh.
Thoughts? I’m expecting my third ACA era baby. I currently have two pumps, one which lives at the office while I’m pumping and one that stays at home/travels/etc.
I never even considered getting a third until I was thinking about it last night when I started thinking it might make sense to have a backup since my other two are out of warranty. If I leave it in the box, can it be donated?
I’m thinking three pumps is crazy and if one died I’d just deal, but, hmmm…
Working mom (almost) fail. This is now the second time I have totally blanked on a project for kiddo’s pre-k class and been saved by the room mom (a friend) mentioning it as our children are playing together over the weekend. I felt slightly better about having to run out for teacher appreciation flowers in a panic yesterday as I saw alllll the moms raiding our local trader joes flower section this AM. At least I’m already prepped for the breakfast later this week!
New school drop off was a success!!! Kiddo skipped in giggling, put her stuff away, picked up a toy and gave us one last hug. Easiest drop off in a while. It was such a relief to know all the teachers at drop off instead of a bunch of random floaters.
Fingers crossed that this is the new pattern.
Any suggestions for a baby gift that is more personal than a gift card but takes up little to no space? A good friend is expecting but plans to move before the baby is born so I’m trying to avoid getting something that will be a pain to pack up and move. I don’t live near her, so unfortunately can’t treat her to an experience gift.
I asked for some advice on guardianship on the main site and wanted to report back. We were visiting my husband’s cousins this weekend and brought up planning for baby, life insurance, etc and I awkwardly said, ‘We’d like to ask…. don’t feel like you need to decide….’ and his cousin jumped in with an “Of course we’d take the baby is something happened, it’d be our pleasure”.
It isn’t the most typical choice (2nd cousins rather than siblings) but one that feels right for us.
