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?
For various reasons, what was going to be Christmas Eve dinner is now going to be Christmas Eve lunch. Any ideas for a light but fancy-ish Christmas Eve supper? Something fun enough to be Christmasy but light enough for people who had a big lunch.
For those of you with kids who share a room…any thoughts on better vs worse times/ages to start the sharing? Right now our kids are almost-4 and almost-2. The 4yo is in her own bedroom and the 2yo sleeps in a crib in the guest room. I really want to move them in together for a variety of reasons, but they both have irregular enough sleep (2yo likes to wake up in the middle of the night, yell, and then go back to sleep; 4yo is in a VERY prolonged process of nap-dropping and so has unpredictable bedtimes) that I am hesitant to do it right now. But maybe there is no good time and we just need to take the plunge?
How do you ladies divvy up forced PTO due to random daycare closures? Currently, DH is a contractor which means if he stays home he doesn’t bring cash. Therefore, I have been the person to stay home for all closures for the last 8 months. DH will be moving into an FTE position at the same company and I’d like to make sure I don’t just end up being it forever as the default. He has a much longer commute and I generally have more flexibility (i.e. can clock in at home after bed-time). What should I propose?
Talk to me about your bed setups when you transitioned your littles out of the crib. My almost 4-year old is ready to move out of his crib, but is past the toddler bed stage. His room is small, so I’d like to stick with a twin if possible, but am drowning in decision fatigue about what kind of bed to get. Anything you love? Hate? Would recommend?
just an fyi, if anyone purchased Contigo kids water bottles over the summer (which i did per recs from this site), there was a recall on certain ones. the little spout came off ours and one of my twins almost choked on it, so before that actually happens to your kid, check to see if you are part of the recall
Anyone here meeting billable requirements and handling all or most drop-offs and pick-ups from daycare? I was making the working mom thing work when my husband did drop off; his schedule has changed such that I’m doing both now. I’m having trouble billing enough hours in between! If you’ve done this successfully, please give me some advice!!
