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’s probably a little late in the morning, but trying to outfit my 13-month-old for this winter. Anyone have any good recommendations for mittens for the snow for tiny hands?
Childcare $ Gift Question Du Jour. Last year, parents took up a mass collection for daycare teachers in our LCOL city. It was our first year at the center, with one child enrolled; we contributed $50 to the fund and each teacher ultimately got $90. I want to give more, but we are on a tighter budget. Would $50 to the fund and $25 to each of our classroom teachers (4) be a respectable contribution? Do I make note we contributed to fund, too? (Subtext here is a beloved teacher left – we think due to salary and staff cuts, as is typical of childcare industry now, I am worried other beloved teachers arent far behind!!)
Does anyone have any tricks for helping pregnancy insomnia? I’ve had several days in a row of extremely poor sleep (like 4 hours or less) and I’m getting pretty miserable. Also, I’m effectively useless at work because I can’t concentrate and don’t trust myself to do anything too complicated.
For those spanx black pants people like post partum – back seam or back pockets? I need a pick me up for my return to work wardrobe and want to make sure I’m getting the ones people have recommended! Also how was the sizing for you?
If you work in a massive organization, how important is it to you to have multiple women (especially working mothers) at the executive level? I’m interviewing with a company that only has one woman at the leadership table (a big contrast from my current company), and trying to assess whether that will make a difference in corporate culture.
Low-stakes question here, but how do you deal with long hair in a baby? DD is not even 1yo but her hair goes to her nose. She takes out bows and HATES those elastic headbands. Is there another solution? That’s not a choking hazard?
Update on my dad (who was supposed to have an outpatient procedure on Monday and I never heard from him after that) — he has been in the hospital all week, which I only found out by calling the hospital (doing well but recovering from a surprise heart surgery!). PSA, when you go into the hospital please bring a list of names and phone numbers of folks who should be notified if something goes wrong!
Are there any internet boards or anything that target daycare and nannying inside the hispanic community? I would love baby to learn some Spanish like DH, but I don’t speak it and we probably don’t spend enough time with my ILs. There is a small but significant Mexican population here, but unfortunately we don’t have any real ties to that community. I suspect caregiving is all arranged by word-of-mouth, but I don’t know how to tap in. I thought this board might be diverse enough to know something about it…
Cross-posting here in the hopes that someone else has made a similar trip – any suggestions of best neighborhoods to stay in Montreal for a family? We’ll be doing older kid stuff (tween) biodome, science musuem, history museum, botanical gardens, wander the parks. I’d like to hit a museum or two but my son (and husband) aren’t really art people. I’ll also take hotel recommendations – a pool wouldbe nice as we’re going in the summer.
Anyone have a toddler who doesn’t nap in the crib? Do you just let them not nap? Our 2 year old LO will basically only nap in the car at this point for us, although she naps fine at daycare. This has generally been fine on weekends, we just go for a lot of drives, but sort of dreading dealing with it during winter vacation and wondering if it’s worth trying to somehow nap train or something.
