@dennisbon I mean if the kids both like it, then it would be great if they could continue. I think that for athletes at that high level, they would feel really sad if they grew up and then missed that chance. Practicing for that long would give them the chance they need for them to go as high as...

@aaronq10 That's great!

@rosedude I love the phrase "girl bossed too close to the sun." learned it here and have been using it in real life. It's so true, though! I'm the one who is now working full-time while my husband works part-time and spends the most time with the baby. That and I got my job promotion within my...

@monkeym24 Learning how to do school is a huge accomplishment, especially with the new rigors of kindergarten. There was a thread about this recently, and my problem with all these graduations is that kids nowadays often can do the bare minimum at life and still get celebrated.

@waka I can only work jobs that bring me purpose because, and I wouldn't say this is a good thing, but the moment I think that job is meaningless or repetitive or what not, I start getting distracted and stop doing it well. So I need to know that my job is helping the world be a better place.

@savannahcbc The problem is that there aren't enough jobs that are actually meaningful! I would recommend the book Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber to learn more.

@msams I’m still on maternity leave, but right now my thinking is that, couldn’t we just do the routine later and then sleep in? But now I’m realizing that it wouldn’t be fair in case my husband worked mornings every day.

@mooreman I read a scientific study that 50% of babies don’t sleep through the night at one year old so it’s not like he’s abnormal or anything. It seems like your baby isn’t actually that bad if he only wakes up once or twice. The advice about shifting the nap times does work. And having him...

@religiondoctor Hmmm yeah it’s a tricky one. At that point it would be worth asking the teacher that she’s attached to in particular, as that teacher might know something the others don’t. And maybe just on mommy personality instinct, if you observe (her?) for a while, you might catch on to...

@liz555 If he's just looking to sleep with you, then maybe that's simply what your child needs right now and it's better to give him a spot then to deal with all the crying. But yeah if it's just to be loud and annoying, then yeah, that's terrible:/ until it resolves, get someone to take the...

@religiondoctor You should ask the teachers if they know why specifically she is crying. Once you know the trigger for the behavior, you’ll know what to do. For example, if it’s missing your warmth, allowing her to bring something from home to snuggle, or if it’s permanece issues, to read...

@daddylopez1963 That makes sense! And yeah it might be a good idea for OP then. I guess its the word "locked" that sounded alarming, "covered" sounds less dramatic. I realized that your comment is going crazy with upvotes and down votes, so I gave you an upvote.

@daddylopez1963 I mean genuine question, but if your child is already in the habit of not opening the door and not wanting out, why lock your child in the room? At that point it seems unecessarily dangerous for an emergency; if something were to happen to you, your child can't call 911 and EMS...

@rollo22 My mom bottle feeds her, and sometimes she lays down with her and feeds her that way. She does end up falling to sleep. There's also supposed to be this new formula that helps baby sleep longer. I saw it on my ads; it's called ByHeart and there is a research study that showed they...

@chenml60 I mean you didn’t mention anything about feeding. Honestly boobs are magic and they’re the only way she can sleep a lot of the time.

@trixee12 Thank you for sharing! I’m still on maternity leave, so no advice, but I’m in a similar situation to OP in that I work from 6-9pm. Everyone on this site keeps saying that babies’ optimum sleep routine is to be done early, but I keep wondering to myself, “Can’t we just do it later?”...

@crustyfrog Wow! Congrats on passing the bar with three kids and ducks!

@algie Its so weird to me to just jump into a new position and leave the old one behind. I've always done more of a slow fade, where I accept the new job, and take a week off of my old job. That way I see if I really like the new job before I go in heads first :P If you could do a trial like...

@john76 I mean you have a PhD, which means you’d probably have no problem getting a good job whenever you decide to come back. I actually just posted in the r/teachersintransition sub that they added a master’s/doctoral differential at my school district. And right now there’s such a shortage...

@j2049 That’s so cute!
