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 don’t like my mother in law and don’t want to spend time with her on Mother’s Day. There, I said it. This will be my first Mother’s Day. MIL lives 5 minutes away and sees my husband and baby once or twice a week. She’s loud and brash and obnoxious and I simply don’t like her. How do I get out of having to see her that day? The family is extremely close and will want to do brunch.
Is anyone else extremely disappointed that the scarymommy confessional is no more?? After this site and the main site, it was my favorite place to mindlessly scroll. It was also incredibly reassuring to see other people screaming the same things out into the void….
WWYD? Other daycare (montessori school) parents have organized to ask daycare employees to wear masks because of the risk of under-5s, even though it’s no longer required by local health guidelines, the daycare’s parent company, or case numbers. (IMO.) We are fine with daycare’s no-mask policy (and have an under-5 DD), but now these parents have asked for help incentivizing the teachers with treat Mondays by either bringing treats or giving them money for treats. I don’t have strong feelings either way and I don’t know any other parents at our daycare. I am leaning toward sending them some money since DD ostensibly benefits from this request, and sending a note to the organizers to say thank you for making this request. DH is annoyed with what he calls “activist parents.”
help! we are having major potty training issues. my soon to be 4 year old was potty trained at some point and now the pee accidents are out of control. we are working with her doctor to see if it is a medical issue and she is in OT for some other things so also working with the OT on body awareness, but we aren’t sure if DD just can’t tell that she has to go or doesn’t care. She has 3+ peeing accidents a day. Even when she is home with just a dress and no undies or totally naked. When she has an accident, we tell her that she needs to try to keep her undies dry and tell us when she has to go potty. I’d consider a sticker chart, but she is a twin and twin has no issues with this and so it doesn’t seem like a fair set up, especially since there are a lot of other things that come easier to her twin and she is kind of a sensitive kid and i think it would backfire. when we try to get her to go potty before going somewhere it turns into hysterics. sometimes her underwear/pants will clearly be wet and she will insist that they aren’t and get HYSTERICAL when we try to get her to change her clothes. did anyone’s kid have a medical issue relating to this or any other tips or tricks to help her?
Advice on dog breeds?
My family and I live in a townhouse in a big city – small “garden” no yard. Two elementary school age kids. We both work outside the home but would get a dog walker to take the dog out mid morning, then kids/baby sitter could walk the dog after school as well. We are looking for a good natured dog that is fun but not bonkers energy. We’d rather have a mid-sized dog if possible — and my husband doesn’t like poodles/doodles (don’t ask me why). Thoughts? suggestions?
(I know getting a purebred dog is controversial so please ignore this request if it bothers you!)
Any recs for dining room tables that are easy to clean and durable around toddlers? What kind of coating should I be looking for? Or do I just buy whatever is available at IKEA or elsewhere that is cheap and reassess when my toddler has left the home (for college)?? We need a new table.
Do I let this Sgo? My youngest – 8 – is now refusing to wear any kind of jacket outside or even a sweater over her t-shirt (sometimes short sleeved and sometimes long). We live in northern New England, and it was 34 degrees this morning. Peak winter for us is highs in the single digits, so it is comparatively warmer now, but not actually warm. School has a rule that no coats are required when the temp is 32 or greater. She claims that she is not cold. Do I care and push that she has to wear some kind of layer or just say that she’ll figure it out if she gets cold?
Traveling to Portland and the Columbia River Gorge with my five year old and 20m old in April. I know it’ll be rainy but we’re from LA so we get a lot of sun and beach…any recommendations? Anything I need to book in advance? TY!
Any recs for hair ties or barrettes for very fine toddler hair?
Does anyone else’s daycare do theme days for Week of the Young Child? I’m ok with pajama day because it’s easy but the other themes are so annoying.
