- 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?
My son’s first birthday is coming up soon. DH and I are hosting just immediate family only at our small home (all adults, no other kids). Suggestions for a sweet and memorable but low key celebration?
Thank you to everyone who responded to my question about the connectors my son was asking for – who knew there were so many different types! Zoobs were the ones he was looking for – thanks to the poster who suggested those!
sometimes our nanny buys small little things for our twins – she has bought them pajamas, a book, shovels for the sand, and today she brought alphabet flashcards and rubber bands for their hair. she brings these things at random – not near the time of their bday or anything like that. i’ve been letting her 9 year old daughter come to work with her this summer, which i haven’t loved, but we otherwise love our nanny, so it is fine. her daughter is about to go back to school and now i feel like i should be giving her a little gift or something to wish her a good school year. thoughts? i don’t want to get into the habit of buying her daughter gifts all the time or anything and realize i’ve already been doing her a huge favor, but it feels awkward to me when her daughter pulls these gifts for my kids out of her mother’s bag
I survived my first solo road trip with my two year old this weekend! No major injuries, although it was a terrible drive back with three puking incidents, and she didn’t get trampled or drown or any of the other calamities I was envisioning with a fearless toddler and wide open spaces.
rec for a baby/toddler hairbrush or comb?
I was starting to get excited about this sunscreen, but then I read the ingredients. Booooo!
But also, is the SPF really effective at noon if you’ve put it on at 6:30am?
My LO is close to outgrowing the infant car seat – we had the CityGo. I want to get a convertible carseat next that we can use until it’s no longer needed. It will stay in the car in the burbs and I’d get a separate seat for travel. What is best? My neighbor recommend a Britax?
If you’re a mom with anxiety, I could use your advice and coping mechanisms. Mine is flaring up badly right now, for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, the general mess/noise/commotion of kids is further setting me on edge. I feel HORRIBLE. I’m so snappy and crabby right now, especially toward one kid in particular who is the … wilder sort, shall we say. I don’t want my kids to feel like they have to tiptoe around me. When I’m in this space, I don’t want to be around anyone because I’m easily agitated. Exercise and basic self-care is not cutting it right now. I’m on a low dose of an SSRI already.
Anyone have experience with the Wayne Pico car seat? Seen one in the wild?
WWYD? I am a contractor, going on two years at my current gig. I asked about becoming an employee last week: boss said they love my work and I mesh really well with the team, but there’s no budget for making me an employee and he understands if I want to pursue other options. That last part was really a shock to me. Is it time to start looking?
Some natural things to try:
*Magnesium Calm or any other Magnesium Threonate product
*More time outside, preferably in whatever nature really makes you feel good (beach, forest, mountains, lake, whatever). Try to think of a local natural setting that lifts you up and spend more time there.
*Get more sleep if possible
Also talk to your doctor about changing your prescription? Maybe something else would be better.
If your kid was breastfed and had GERD, what did it look like? DD had it but was bottle fed and the symptoms were fairly textbook (arching back, refusing feeds, large amounts of spit up). Now DS is suddenly having large amounts of spit up and I’m unsure what is just lots of spit up and what’s not normal. I plan to follow up with ped later this week but just looking for any anecdata.
Remind me why, exactly, I have a job? I am completely exhausted from running all over town to handle day camp logistics, entertaining friends and family every weekend to keep my extrovert husband happy, and a totally unnecessary trip last week. I am sick for the third time this summer. Now I am stuck working from home for the next two weeks because I have no child care, and my kid is already whining that she’s bored and refusing to do the work she needs to do to prep for the start of school. To top it off, a client has decided that it wants to manipulate the results of its project to suit its political ends and is accusing me of doing a terrible job, and now my boss is demanding that I fly out there and bring a senior colleague with me, which means that she thinks I screwed up and can’t handle the big leagues and my hoped-for promotion is sunk.
I hate being a working mom, and never more than during the summer. Why can’t I just quit my job and be a SAHM? My kid and my husband would be so much happier if I were just at home making everything happen during the day while they are gone.
A friend’s son was just diagnosed with cancer and will be in the hospital for some time. I don’t want to give details to respect privacy. What would you send to the child/family? I was thinking food for the family and a coloring book and stickers for the child to have in the hospital. Anyone have experience/insight about what would be most helpful?
I’m embarrassed to admit this but I’ve never left my 11 month old in the evening. We don’t have family and haven’t figured out the sitter thing yet, plus since he’s in daycare all day, I like the time with him and haven’t gotten really motivated.
Anyway, I have an event to go to that starts at 6ish with a dinner is at 7 or 7:30 (I can’t remember exactly). LO usually goes to bed at 7. I’m trying to figure out whether I should put him to bed early before I go or have the sitter do it. I worry the sitter won’t be able to get him to go to sleep, especially since I’m still nursing and that’s part of his nighttime routine. But on the other hand, if he wakes up while we are gone and only the sitter – who he’s never met – is there, I worry he might be scared.
I know I sound ridiculous, especially to moms of older kids (or those who are just better at these this) but I feel like a missed the parenting manual on a lot of things, including this!
