@morirach Many people are forever a different size after having kids due to permanent body changes postpartum. My ribcage and hips permanently expanded, for example. And some folks have extra skin on their stomach that can contribute to clothes fitting differently. No amount of diet and exercise...

@liz555 I actually love my job, but I wish I could do it part time. I've been in a bit of a funk for the past 2 months and am in the process of shaking myself out of it. This takes some time, and I wish I had more time during the day to do things I love outside of work. I had other jobs that...

@neen1 You're getting downvoted, but she does need to get strategically-assertive. Lawyer up.

@ballofconfusion I vote to keep in daycare. If you feel that daycare isn't enriching enough, you can supplement at home. Take her to read alouds at the library, look into pre-k programs at museums, read books with her about all kinds of subjects. You can also look up phonics and math games for...

@paparazi257 This comment right here. This is so, so true.

@ilkhanapit I agree that looking for another job is probably your best strategy right now. It sucks - I don't know why companies do this. It just comes back to bite them in terms of employee retention and morale. In the mean time, just don't adhere to the new policy. Go in 2 days a week. It...

@gina Lean into the Victorian wasting disease and tell everyone that you require 3 months by the seaside in order to recuperate from the black lung.

@atlkate Your co-workers sound nuts to me. I would simply set an OOO starting at 1 pm on Fridays that automatically declines meetings. If they want you to be there, they will schedule meetings during office hours. That's the short-term solution. The long-term solution is that you start looking...

@1stjohn0666 We do a lot of long weekend trips over holiday weekends, like Labor Day or MLK Day. We'll do a short road trip or camping or something similar. Sometimes we visit friends or extended family on these trips. We do one "visiting family" trip per year for about a week. For awhile...

@naila I hate commutes, but for 40% more money? Once a week is worth it. The kids will be fine. Think positively about the commute as "you time". Listen to audiobooks and podcasts or just your favorite music and not Kidzbop or that prog rock garbage the husband always puts on in the car...

@wynning826 Can you wake him up?

@midddeb This can be of great importance to families who have few daycare options. If families are better at evaluating daycares, then they will be better equipped to have trade off conversations. Maybe daycare isn't the best option. Maybe one parent needs to stay home, get a different job with...

@iwantchristmore28 This sounds like the 4 month sleep regression that is hanging on due to sleep associations. Is he being fed to sleep or does he go into his crib sleepy but awake and he settles to sleep without feeding. It sounds like he is using feeding to connect his sleep cycles, which is...

@sabresong This is the way. He fixes what he does wrong.
