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?
It hit me this morning that the baby I miscarried would have turned 6 today, finishing up kindergarten. I don’t think about the miscarriage often anymore — although it gutted me at the time — but sometimes milestones bring up old feelings of what might have been. :( I just needed to say that out loud today.
Got my results for the 3-hour GD test, and only one of my numbers was slightly high (two above the cutoff). My OB offered a referral to a dietitian but said it was optional, and I definitely don’t have GD. Should I take her up on it? I think I generally know about healthy eating, and I’m planning to significantly cut back on sweets for the rest of my pregnancy. Wondering whether it would be worth the time. Thanks!
Went to my first OB appointment for this (3rd) pregnancy, and doc recommended a NIPT screen at 12 weeks. Only risk factor I have is that I’m barely advanced maternal age (just turned 36). I would decline an amnio b/c of risk of miscarriage, and abortion is off the table for religious/personal belief reasons. I think I would like to have a heads up to prepare if the baby has a genetic condition, but husband thinks it’s better not to worry about it since it wouldn’t really alter the way we approach the pregnancy and may just introduce other worries. Have any of you had the NIPT? Were you glad you did, or wish you hadn’t?
I’ve always declined additional prenatal testing for the reasons above, but I was a good deal younger then and it wasn’t really recommended.
Does anyone else ever feel badly that they sometimes find their lives hard/exhausting? I know that I am privileged – I do not need to worry about how I will pay our rent at the end of the month, or feed our kids, we can afford a little bit of extra childcare, I do not work 3 jobs to make ends meet or have a spouse who is deployed or a kid with serious health issues, etc. and yet I am still often exhausted/overwhelmed and find life to be challenging
what are your kids’ age? what time do you do dinner and for how long? and what time is bedtime? trying to reassess some things in our household…
I did not do any testing with our first and she was diagnosed with a genetic condition (that should’ve shown up on testing – note the tests don’t catch everything) at 8 months. It wouldn’t have changed any decisions on our part, but I think it could have positively benefited our daughter and the care she received from birth to diagnosis. I’m 30 weeks pregnant with our second now and got an NIPT – was told insurance would cover it because of DD’s condition but they did not because I’m under 35. I understand where you’re coming from because I knew it wouldn’t change anything for us but after the experience with our daughter it would’ve been so helpful to have that information up front rather than spend 8 months going through “something is not quite right but no one knows why”
We have a tiny side yard. Think ~400-500 SF with decomposed granite base and large live oak trees that provides tons of amazing shade.
First of all, for those of you that don’t have grass, has anyone purchased those rubber mats that lock together to put under toys?
We’re debating which are the best outdoor toys. Has anyone purchased a Little tikes 3′ trampoline or the 7′ with the net enclosure? Our daughter is 2 and we’re expecting another soon. I didn’t know if trampolines this small still have all the risks of the larger ones. Our neighbor recommended a bounce house because they collapse small and you can just inflate when needed, but I think all the bounce houses seem too large from what I can tell. Thoughts?
Also, thinking of purchasing a water feature. We have a water table, but think of either a sprinkler play mat or small plastic pool (the inflatable ones gross me out if we dont dry them properly). Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Good morning. Any recommendations on which payroll system to use to pay a part-time nanny who helps with the pickup/dinner routine? Also,
-Do you pay higher than an individual’s usual cash rate due to the taxes taken out (if so, how much)?
-How do you handle gas mileage and extra driving–cash bonus, mileage compensation, etc.?
-Appreciate anything else I can keep in mind. I want to keep things above board and be fair.
-How do you pay if you end up taking the person on a trip to help with childcare?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
My post keeps getting eaten so trying this again –
I’m getting ready for a road trip with my infant son and need to take along a (common brand name square portable crib). For some reason the mattress in ours doesn’t lay flat ever since we moved it down from the bassinet position. It’s lumpy and doesn’t seem safe for sleep. Has anyone else had this issue? Any luck with replacement mattresses?
Any recommended books or videos (why doesn’t Daniel Tiger have one??) on stranger danger? We have the Berenstein Bears book. We’ve talked about it with our five year old, but looking for other ways to reinforce without just constantly asking (what would you do if…).
