For someone with a desk job that involves a lot of computer work, it is hard to accessorize with bold bracelets. Either they get in the way of typing, or every time you reach for your keyboard you hear a “clunk” sound as the bracelet hits the wrist rest. However, with all of the bracelet- or three-quarter-length sleeves that are popular now, it’s nice to accentuate that flattering area of your body with some jewelry. (Who’s ever seen a bad wrist? Not me!). I love these delicate sets of bracelets from Club Monaco. These look pretty and decorative without getting in the way of work activities, and the price is right at $35.50.

Hi ladies. DH is going to be on travel for a long weekend, and for the first time, I’ve decided to get “mother’s helper” type support sometime during the weekend. It will likely either be a family friend that is in HS. With DH gone, our household is me, DS (16 months), and our pup. I know I’ll appreciate the help, but now drawing a blank on how to structure/use the help apart from dog walking. Please advise on how y’all who use this type of support end up structuring it when solo parenting. TIA!
Popping in to plug Target’s new bra line Paramour – they are not listed as such but that’s what the tags say. They have nursing bras that go up to G (fit my Freya/Bravado G/H cups) for 27.99. Highly recommend since I like to have a bunch and don’t need them to last forever (or cost $80 a pop.)
Is it hard to find a teenaged mother’s helper to work on the books? We’re looking for one for this summer (DH is a professor and will be at home, but wants to be mostly working) and I don’t want to alienate all the neighborhood teenagers by insisting on withholding income taxes. But I’m pretty sure we will hit the $2,100 annual income threshold that requires you to pay taxes.
We are doing final round in-person nanny interviews this weekend. We have four candidates with great references who seem amazing based on phone interviews and their resumes. Any advice on what we could ask them to help us make our decision? I read the park slope parents nanny hiring website which was helpful.
Ideally, I would do a trial day as well, but it will be hard to do a trial day because we are moving to a new city and the kids will be in our current city until we move (I guess we could bring them in for a trial day, but not sure if it’s worth it?)
Also, what’s the consensus on home security cameras? It would make me feel better to have them but I know some nannies hate them. I think if we get them I would like to disclose during the interview and be upfront about it, but I am not sure how nannies would react to it.
i’ve been seeing a therapist for my PPA/PPD. It is definitely helpful, but the problem is she has been giving me all of these exercises to do outside of our sessions. I am ideally supposed to spend 4-5 hours/week on one exercise and 1-2 hours a week on a different one. I have 7 month old twins and it is really hard to find that much time to devote to this each week and honestly not exactly what i want to spend my limited free time doing. any tips for how to make this more part of my routine? the exercises are helpful, but i have such little “me” time as is.
We’re expecting baby #2 in a couple months and friends with a similarly aged kiddo have offered to keep an eye on our 2 year old. (We don’t have family close by) anyone have tips for making this as smooth as possible? I’m a planner by nature so the uncertainty is killing me. (Middle of the night- would we wake toddler up?, during the day, weekend or weekday!?) plus while the kids are friends, they don’t go to the same daycare so trying to figure those logistics out as well. I’d really appreciate any advice!!
I have a daughter that we got evaluated for ADHD in K. Now she is in 4th and, for the first time, struggling academically in school. We’re doing the evaluation/screening tests again just to have a current pass through things with a professional. I know her teachers have to refocus her attention in school and she can blurt out things in class.
I was surprised that she got the lowest grade for “relationships with peers” on the scale. I know this usually screens for bad peer relationships b/c of bullying, etc. She’s not like that — she is very much a loner at school with a couple of close friends (both boys, who are at an age where cross-gender friendships seem to be rarer and rarer and invite teasing). She does complain that she has no friends (but is friendly and will interact with kids, just not if she feels that kids are already playing together and she would be interrupting and she’s not on the same BFF level with them that they “must” be with each other).
What, if anything, should I do? I don’t want her to be unhappy and from being the new kid at school a few times when I was younger, it can be rough to feel that you have no friends. I also don’t want her to feel like she’s failing my expectations b/c she’s not the bubbly outgoing sort. She’s fine as she is.
I’ll see if I can bring up with her teachers (who have never mentioned this to me, just on their scale answers) and the psychologist. But what should I be doing in the meantime? [I expect that the evaluation will probably be completed as the school year is winding down, so that feels like a long time from now.]
I was surprised by the discussion yesterday about celebrating your nanny’s birthday. Is this really expected? I like to think I’m a good nanny employer, but to me being a good employer means paying good salary and benefits and being easy to work for and communicate with about expectations and performance. I don’t really make chitchat with our nanny. I’m sure she’s a lovely person, but I spend a grand total of 10 minutes a day in her presence and in that time I’m trying to hand off baby, communicate info about baby’s needs, pick up baby and get an update from nanny about how the day has gone. It doesn’t leave a lot of time for nonessential conversation, and I don’t even think I know when her birthday is. Am I out of line here?
One of my coworkers who I’ve become close with recently had a miscarriage at 12 weeks. I’d like to get her a little something to say “I’m here for you/I’m so sorry you’re going thru this.” Any suggestions?
