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?
Tent camping with a one and a 2.5 year old. Crazy?
I love a good flounce skirt, but Kasper never seems to fit me right. Always too tight in the waist when it fits everywhere else. I think Kasper is trying to tell me something…
Any tips on starting baby food/cereal at daycare? Which storage containers that travel well (I’m making the baby food)? Bring food daily, or keep a stock at daycare?
We’re doing okay eating at home already.
Teething toys suggestions? My daughter has become a biter (ack!) and daycare suggested providing a teething toy for her. She has been mostly uninterested in teething specific things (we have those rubbery ones that you put in the fridge and a Sophie). So far she seems mostly interested in gnawing on wood, but I’d like to get something for her that is meant for teething or otherwise safe to put in her mouth. I’m looking at the Barin wooden teether sticks, but would appreciate any other suggestions. Thanks!
If you could arrange your 40 +/- hour work schedule in any way, what would your weekly work schedule look like and why? I’m preparing to negotiate a schedule change with my employer to one that is better for my family/sanity and wondering what that would look like for other mamas.
Hormones! My favorite. So I’ve been breaking out on my cheeks since I weaned and simultaneously switched from the mini-pill to a regular BCP. I have tried two different kinds of birth control pills since then, without improvement. I’m 90% sure it’s related to the pills because it gets better during the placebo week. I didn’t have this problem when I was on BCP in my 20’s but I haven’t taken them in the 5 years since we started TTC. advice, experience?
Thinking about that tent camping question… do any of y’all feel like your kid’s schedule makes you into an inflexible psycho? We follow my daughter’s daycare routine on the weekend days too and she has the same early bedtime and wake up time every day. This makes it hard to participate in extended family activities with older kids (“a whole afternoon at the zoo!”- “sorry, no. interrupt nap time and you pay”) let alone trying to take her camping or anything like that. Maybe when she’s 3 or 4, but not now.
The idea of taking a “vacation” sounds terrible to me at her age. My husband couldn’t go with us, she’s too young to do anything, and it seems like her life is a series of near death experiences punctuated by tantrums. I know its going to be easier when she gets older, but right now I sometimes think I don’t have enough tolerance for hassle or change in routine and it’s going to somehow be to her detriment? My SAHM sister is always taking her kids places, doing stuff, going on hikes, camping, going to Lake Tahoe… and I just… cant.
