@morirach Check out intermittent fasting. I dropped all the baby weight easily. It’s free. Nothing to spend money on. Eat yummy food in a smaller window instead of spread out through the day.

@christianbikerg I think it’s also the cause of lost time for most of us. Tv and phones are great distractions. I just did preschool drop off and am sitting here in my toasty car scrolling through Reddit for 20 min before I go in to start my work day. Could I have emptied the dishwasher and put...

@nenji I believe California includes 2 weeks before the due date that’s take it or lose it so people take it. It’s improving from basically having nothing, but it’s not good yet.

@nenji I worked a week and a half past my due date with my first. She was nearly 2 weeks late and I didn’t want to waste my maternity leave while I was just waiting for labor to start. I worked in the office 2 days past my due date then took my computer home that Friday and wfh the following...

@onlyjesus316 My kids both benefited greatly from preschool. Is that an option? Even if it’s just a few hours a week, he’ll get to be around other kids and see everyone following rules and it’s a change of scenery and breaks up the routine. Both of mine LOVE school and thrive in environments...

@whitm11 Agree with everyone saying it’s more generational than parent status. I work with some very hardworking women who don’t have kids but they’re 30+. I’ve heard of interviews with some Gen Zs who were really put off by the idea of working the whole work day because they had other stuff...

@deseret We had one in town close bringing our 4 options down to 3, with only one full time option. 2 year waitlist for that one though. It’s been so frustrating! I’m soooo looking forward to when my 3.5 year old starts kindergarten in 2025. One of our preschool teachers is having a baby later...

@deseret Plus where I am in MA, it’s a “childcare desert” and we have no full-time options so have to split the day with preschool and a nanny. Very expensive!

@arrah26 I’m so sorry. I had no idea anywhere was doing this. I’d heard of the 4 day work week but never school week.

@arrah26 Where is this? I’ve never heard of it.

@lynnede You are not responsible for any of his behaviors. He chose to sleep around and endanger your health in the process. Cuddling more wouldn’t have stopped him from doing that.

@kakashi007 It sounds like you need to shop your skills out. Update your resume and make sure you include those P&L metrics and awards. Use tangible numbers. Quantify everything. Someone running a company or department cares about the bottom line and your skill set is valuable to them. Brag...

@olivemcr You’d think I’d have had awesome supply with all that work. Nope. We had to supplement with formula for both despite my obsession over getting enough milk made for both of them. Lactation cookies. Water. Supplements. Power pumping. Pumping every 3 hours in the office starting at 12...

@olivemcr I struggled with supply and spent over a thousand hours pumping between both kids including a nightly power pump session for 24 months. If I were in her situation, it would have been really hard to continue. Pumping is grueling and I don’t know if I would have stuck with it if my kids...

@sh419ob Both my kids started with them right away in the hospital and neither had issues with latch or bfing or bottle feeding. We did it all right from the start and has zero issues. My one friend who delayed introducing anything for fear of nipple confusion ended up with 2 kids who would...

@christianloyalty If you read Lean In, you’ll find actual studies referenced that speak to the benefits for children of having working parents. Medium is not a credible source for anything and it appears the author misinterpreted data based on what OP shared here.

@imark Are they watching your child? If not, why are they interfering with your parenting? Don’t consult them. Don’t inform them. Don’t defend your actions if you’re following doctor’s orders. You don’t need to prove you’re right and they’re wrong. You just need to do the right thing for your...

@kaiti It’s a pain for working parents - we have our afterschool babysitter shuttle for that activity which is a life saver.

@kaiti Do they have an earlier gymnastics class? My 4 year old’s class is 4-5 and my almost 7 year old is in the 6-10 class and it’s 5-6. That’s just really late for that age. I’d drop the other activities until the spring. Adjust to school and see how it goes. Add them back in as you can.

@happychristian738 That might be the version I know best. They all just run together after 12 hours straight... Happy cake day!
