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?
Any comfortable business casual shoes people would recommend for work? I want something flat, likely black, that’s super comfy (my job requires me to move all over the hospital, so I am on my feet a ton)
Inspired by the BOBW podcast, what is everyone’s love of the week?
Mine is a Friday night picnic. My husband was out, I knew we didn’t have any food, and I was doing nursery pick-up a bit later than normal so we popped to the grocery store and bought a baguette, smoked salmon and some fruit and sat on the grass at the play park and ate our dinner and then my son ran around. We got on the bus home and he went straight to bed. He keeps asking to go on a ‘lovely picnic’ again and I think it’ll be a summer Friday tradition.
Audiobook or podcast recommendations for a weekend roadtrip? It will be my husband and I and our 4 year old and 1 year old. Looking mainly for something my husband and I can enjoy, but I’d also love a rec for something the preK will enjoy if you have it. Completely new to both audiobooks and podcasts, but I figured this is a good time to dive in! Thanks!
Thanks for all of the tips re: teleworking with my 16 mo (at my boss’s insistence) today and tomorrow, and mostly for the reminders that a man 100% would not stress about getting 8 full hours in.
So far today we drove to my office and back super early to pick up a check, I received a phone call on the way home and aimlessly drove around the neighborhood to complete it (she was being quiet in the car), had another phone call while I let her walk all over the neighborhood holding my hand (luckily she cooperated and was pretty quiet during that as well). Now down for a nap. phew. and it’s only 9:15 AM
I’m about two years past a four year stint of having babies and breast-feeding. So, I guess i’m saying my hormones are now “normalizing”.
something bad has developed, though. I now get a SEARING headache on the day before my period starts and occasionally on the last day of my period. It’s happened each month for about six months (i.e., day before). And Tylenol/ibuprofen doesn’t touch it.
I had my hormone levels tested last month during some other blood work. They are all normal. does anyone have this issue? any ideas on how to resolve it? I really, really don’t want to go on birth control, but is that my only option?
TIA
The lining in my blazer is ripped in the sleeve! Is this repairable? I have never had this happen before. It’s one of my favorites.
is the standard practice with nannies to raise their hourly wage by a dollar each year? do you wait for the nanny to ask or do you just offer? if you have someone who works for you for a long time, does this ever cap out? might repost next week since i’m guessing a lot of people are on vacation this week…
My 12 month old son just got the measles vaccine on Saturday, is it safe to bring him out yet or should I wait until a full week has passed? Worried about potential fever and I don’t think the vaccines actually start working until 10 days later. Am I being overly cautious?
Give me your dewiest highlighter recommendations! I’m currently wearing Essence Make Me Glow but I want something less shimmery/pearlescent and more just glistening, like “sweaty, but make it fashion.” Or is there some other non-highlighter product I should be wearing instead? I did try using Vaseline but I kept getting stray hairs stuck in it.
I learned this wonderful tip on from this group – feed a toddler a couple of spoonfuls of peanut butter before bed to keep them full all night. So, now toddler is getting peanut before bed most nights and I would like to try other, similarly, satisfying snacks. So far, all I can think of is almond butter and cheese, any other ideas?
