@nader1 I had a great sleeper who breastfed as a newborn. His sleep turned to shit around the 4 month regression. But as a newborn he frequently slept 5+hr stretches, sometimes 8hrs. Post 4mnth regression and sleep training, he was still a good sleeper, which being breastfed. Good is...

@geranium 2yrs and 4 months. Naps a maximum of 1.5hrs, falls asleep between 9-930, wakes 7-730, sometimes 630. He can't get through the day without a nap. The few times we've done it have not been good. I expect he'll nap till he's 4 because he loves napping and needs it, and eventually he'll...

@ebveloz I think sleep trained or not, your baby grows into an adult with sleep habits that are unique themselves. For example, I was sleep trained at 5 months. I did spend a lot of time sleeping in my parents bed as an older child (11ish), but now sleep okay as an adult, minus sleep paralysis...

@mickaela Going to bed at 630 and rising at 4am is not bad in terms of total sleep. I would just commit to the later bedtime and give it time. You are trying to shift her circadian rhythm and biological schedule so it will take time. And be painful. But for the solidarity part, my 21month old...

@kgy0001 My tastiest meal is burrito bowls. It's more like 20 minutes but still quick. Chip one onion and one pepper. Saute. Add ground meat and saute till cooked. Add spices (I use chili powder, cayenne, taco spice) Add canned corn, canned diced tomatoes, canned black beans, canned jalapenos...

@journierman Whoa, you've been through so much! I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you're mom has been training and preparing you for this moment. You are ready to lead! Please don't let an incompetent 72 yr old make you feel less than or not worthy. This stranger thinks you are going...

@tali26 It's tricky because your child will get sick no matter what. So delaying you may skip this bug, but he'll get the next. Unfortunately, that's just the nature of the beast. With that said, I would probably delay. And look into your nurseries policy. Licensed daycares where I live must...

@atlkate Just stop. We have a similar schedule at my work, but it's one full Friday every two weeks. When I was young and eager I'd work those Fridays. Now if I have to work them, I'm taking a day in lieu somewhere else. But mostly I just take the Friday, don't look at my phone till Monday and...

@jwesley No I wouldn't do it.

@mamabear777 I'm happy for you!

@nomadwanderer I want to point out a few things to you that you may not realize. D has scapegoated you. That's why you ended up with the lowest ranking and no raise despite doing the work of 3 people. Have you ever considered that senior management and leadership is scapegoating D? Oh D did this...

@onkos1 The initial shock to your life of going back to work is difficult. And then you get used to it. Yes, you are tired if your kids don't sleep well, but you just go to work anyway. Yes, it's a drag to go in everyday, but you get used to it. It actually gets easier as time goes on not...

@sabresong Amen. One of my favourite phrases is looking after children all day is a job, and it's not one I'm suited for. I never even considered the fact it's likely because I'm not educated in any aspect of it. My kids teachers at daycare are all so great. My son is lucky to have them and so...

@zoex Good advice, but unfortunately with data plans it wouldn't help much

@edwinoel I understand this. Especially if the sub was taken over by it. There's only so much to say on the subject. Like your life is not going to be fun if you have to work from home and somehow take care of babies/toddlers. That's two full time jobs. I would def be fired from my job if I...

@onlyjesus316 It's akin to an oxygen mask on a plane. Put yours on before his. So yea, go to the bathroom, lock the door. It's not a negative outcome though. You are showing him that we need to take care of ourselves first, then others. And it will happen less and less the more you do it.

@pastorjeremiah So I typically leave the house at 8 and do drop off, in the office 830/845. And then I'm home around 5/530. My husband does pick up. My commute is only about 20 minutes. I wake up between 6/630 and pray I have woken before my child. Jump in shower, get myself ready. My husband...

@iwantchristmore28 So your baby's sleep is par for the course. Very normal. You could sleep train and that should help. Your baby will wake up less, and therefore you will wake up less. If you sleep train it will be very hard to continue sleeping in the babies room. Alternatively, can you...

@chillcwill It's because you are both working, so you both need childcare, hence it should go against both salaries. If you stay at home, you should take into account your missed earnings, then your missed earnings potential, missed contributions to retirement, social security etc. and that...

@musicalpilgrim I'm curious, is a 9hr day common for your industry or workplace?
