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 recs for comfortable, cool, and reasonably inexpensive casual button downs? I’ve tried on Old Navy’s full sleeve version and the arms are tight while the rest of the shirt fits. Some of the short sleeve ones are just too frumpy boxy in the sleeves, but open to suggestions for ss options too.
I’m planning to wear these for nursing when I need to look halfway decent but don’t necessarily want *nursing* shirts.
Any recommendations for a birthday gift for a one-year-old? My niece turns 1 soon, and I don’t have kids, so not exactly sure what would be good for this age!
Anyone know where I can buy a multipack of masks that have elastics that go around the head? For various reasons the ear loops don’t work for us. I have a few from etsy, but I need several and don’t want to pay 12$ apiece for them.
Gifting. Having just received a repulsive e-mail from my SIL, suggesting we buy American Girl dolls or “any furniture” for 6 y/o… (Though, she is the same person who opened her wedding cards, (and remarked at the amounts!) in front of guests at her day-after brunch). I’m wondering what you ladies find to be a reasonable way to steer people toward things you’d like for LO without looking like an ahole? My instinct would be to recommend something, if asked, and leave it at that. (Are Amazon wishlists helpful?)
I need some help getting my 3 y/o to eat breakfast before he goes to day care. DH insists on making him a scrambled egg every morning, which is a good instinct because kiddo does not do well on carbs. But kiddo actually eats the egg about 1/3 of the time. We put cheese and ketchup on it (which I find super gross but he loves ketchup). He gets up at 6:30 – we normally serve breakfast at 8:30 so he’s hungry but he will still refuse to eat most of the time. What’s your strategy for getting your kids to eat breakfast? What are some protein heavy breakfasts I should sub? He doesn’t eat oatmeal. I’ve also tried serving yogurt with chia and fruit. Kid just isn’t a breakfast person, which is fine but day care won’t allow him to bring breakfast and doesn’t serve snack til 11. Do I just need to let this go? Get a dog to cut down on the food waste?
Do you do end of year gifts for daycare teachers? What would you do in this situation when we haven’t seen them since March and will be moving to a new room when daycare reopens next month? We will be seeing the old teachers for an outdoor socially distanced farewell meeting next week and I could give them a card with gift cards then.
