- 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…

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Anyone have experience taking Lexapro postpartum? I just started on 5 mg to help with PPA. Just wondering whether i should expect it to affect breast milk supply, weight gain, etc. Right now I feel kind of weird but my understanding is that that’s pretty normal as you start on the medication.
Is it normal for an 18 month old to suddenly have NO attention span? I know toddlers don’t have long attention spans in general, but a couple months ago my DD could sit through a short board book or play with a toy for a couple minutes or something like that. Now it’s like we start reading a book and as soon as she hears a familiar word she wants to get up and go point to that object in our house, and then gets distracted and doesn’t want to return to the book. She will play with a toy for 10-30 seconds tops before turning to another toy. The only things that hold her attention longer are screens. I know they aren’t expected to sit down and play for more than a couple minutes at this age, but it seems a little concerning to me that her attention span is getting shorter not longer.
Any experience with magnesium sulfate for preeclampsia post delivery?
I signed up for Rent the Runway Unlimited last week right before they stopped accepting new customers. And definitely questioning that impulse purchase. In my first bag I got a shirt I loved, two pairs of pants that looked terrible, and a skirt that was definitely more form fitting than I’d realized.
Tips on the service? Should I just cancel it?
For reference, I’m postpartum and not sure I’m ready to spend money on new clothes, but from several years of having kids my closet is feeling a bit stale.
Realized I’m away over Halloween (also maybe Brexit day) and took great satisfaction crossing Halloween costume off my to do list. My son is pretty freaked out by costumes so I was trying to think of a non-costume costume. Instead, I’ll just buy him a pumpkin tshirt and call it a day.
What do 7-year-old boys do to celebrate their birthdays? I’m at a loss… all the jumping house type venues seem too young, and the idea of going to a ball game with friends (which seems to be the alternative for older kids around here) seems too old. DC suburbs, if it helps.
I’m about 10 weeks pregnant with my 2nd, and am holding off telling work (and even my own family / friends) for various reasons. With my first, I told work at around 14 weeks. It was totally fine,my job was completely fair with me as far as paid leave goes (though the law firm I work at is small and didn’t have to pay me for 12 weeks), and even gave me a raise my first week back from leave as an incentive to come back. I have a trial that was supposed to start in November, but for various reasons, is going to be adjourned to the first week of May. I’m due at the end of April and I’m the lead. I’ve tried to make the trial earlier, like March, no no avail, and there’s no way it will go until August when I’m back from leave. I have to tell the managing partner about my pregnancy now, right? Since I won’t be able to do the trial and it’s being scheduled? My hesitation is I feel awkward telling work before say, my own family. Also, I just received a major promotion and wanted to negotiate comp to go with that, and I feel like I can’t do that coming from a place of everyone knowing I’m pregnant. Thoughts?
When did your LO start sleeping on a cot (vs a crib) at daycare? My son is barely 1 and we just got a note that we need to bring a blanket as they are switching him to a cot. I think this is fine – right? I was expecting it but not until he was a little older and I’m afraid it’s going to mess with his nap routine. Ugh!
Question: for those that breastfed past 1 year, when did you stop sending bottles to daycare? Did you stop pumping at that point too? If you continued, what did you do with the milk?
Our daycare will not allow breastmilk in a cup and I know I need to switch my 1 year old off of bottles, but this all seems so confusing/overwhelming.
Guys, I have a day off on Friday. I have so much random stuff I should get done but I am trying to use the day as a personal “reset” to kick start a new phase in my life. If you had a day off with no kids, what would you do?
