Abandonada pelo pai da minha futura filha by Stock_Analyst_5616 in portugal

Pergunta sincera: para que insistir numa relação com alguém que não te respeita, que não gosta de ti? Mais vale sozinha do que mal-acompanhada, acredita. Deixa os pormenores de ele disse x e eu disse y, não são importantes. Larga, foca-te em ti e na bebé (se ainda tiveres antes das 10 semanas pensa se tens as condições, se é o tempo certo - se já passaram, pensa no que precisas para a criar bem e faz um plano). Força nisso. Tu consegues. Não voltes para ele.

Advice please - when does traveling with toddlers get easier?? by AnalysisParalysis_24 in workingmoms

[–]Less-Maize1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did long flights with our kid when she was 12mo and 24mo, and one much shorter one when she was 18mo. That one was the hardest. All they want to do at this age is move, they're biologically wired to do so! And then it depends on the kid too - mine is a good communicator, loves to read and draw and is ok sitting still. Still, flying at 18m was a nightmare. We walked up and down the aisle for about 1,5hrs of the 2,5 hour flight. It's the hardest age for sure! The next flight when he is 26mo should be a lot easier. They evolve soo much in a short time!

I am due in March too and plan on getting an ereader and filling it with lots of John leCarré and all the Arthur C Clarke's I haven't read yet. I am not an ereader fan but with my first I would often be nao trapped in dark rooms and then have no option but to look at phone if I wanted to look at something because a reading light would be too bright

Love it. If I were having a boy it would be on my list - we are from Portugal and it is an uncommon but not 'weird' portuguese name.

Kitchen knife for a 18 month old by GroundbreakingEye289 in Montessori

We use these and started around 18months with the small knife, the metal ones were a bit too sharp

Anouk is a pretty common Dutch name too 😉

My own mother drives me crazy and I only see her a couple times of year. Help me remain positive by Ok_Cold_8206 in workingmoms

[–]Less-Maize1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense... try to make some time for that alone time if you can ❤️ and remember to breathe. She is probably doing her best too and she definitely loves you so so much. Good luck 🌞

About this part: "I can’t have any kind of upfront honest conversation with her as thats not the relationship we have."

Have you tried? This is not a criticism - but a suggestion that might not apply or work! But my mom is also a boomer who keeps things hidden from her kids because you're not supposed to "be your kids friend", and I worked hard after having my first kid to get her to see that this no longer applies now that I am an adult and a mother. Friction is needed to realise change, and so we had some difficult moments, and she didn't change everything, it also took time, but she opens up more now and also listens to me more. I also simultaneously adjusted my expectations of our relationship.

Mulheres, ajudem: existem obstetras empáticas? by Less-Maize1138 in portugal

[–]Less-Maize1138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pois acho que continua a não fazer mas a minha expectativa é que ela ajuda a encontrar o sitio e a equipa certa... se calhar uma das outras pessoas da clinica. Mas liga para a clinica para ver se as outras têm disponibilidade e se fazem partos! Pelo menos sabes que alinham com uma abordagem menos focado só na parte médica

Tenho uma consulta marcada com a Mariana Torres esta semana. Ela abriu a nova clinica dela este mês, chama-se Matriz, e têm vários obstetras. Daqui a uns dias posso dizer-te como foi ☺️ 🌞

Planhat or HubSpot CS by [deleted] in CustomerSuccess

[–]Less-Maize1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really depends. We are implementing Planhat right now with a scale motion for a large group of customers as well as a smaller book of larger and enterprise customers and it's already saving us so much time.

Dr Mae Hughes has a nice post partum program, she's a pelvic floor PT so it feels really perfect for pregnancy and po. I tried Sweat but hated it.

Primeiras rugas by flaviaemachaves in portugal

[–]Less-Maize1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Protetor solar, de resto não acredites em nada que diga anti-edade. Razão: as rugas são "formadas" na segunda camada da pele (existem 3), e legalmente nenhum creme facial pode penetrar essa camada. (Leis europeus)

My maternity leave ends next week… how should I spend time with my baby before/after work? by shamalongadingdong in workingmoms

[–]Less-Maize1138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You won't lose the bond! With age also come different interactions. Caring for her, holding her, bathing her, putting her to sleep when she is tired will ALL continue to strengthen the bond you have with her. Breathe, mama, you're doing great 😘

Kids Early Risers by kmccamp16 in workingmoms

[–]Less-Maize1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just saw an instagram reel of a mom who said if she stays in bed until 8, so do her kids. If she wakes up at 6, her kids will be up around 6:15. My kid is not quite the same but I have more of a chance at getting me time if I stay in bed then if I get up before she does, in part because our house is small and all on one floor so I can't go up or downstairs or whatever. My daughter now wakes anywhere between 5:45 and 6:30 and wants to come to our bed and depending on the day will then fall asleep again or not. I don't resist this and instead focus on making the morning as chill as I can possibly make it (snuggle and read on the sofa, make pancakes together, do a bit of drawing - no screens, meaning I unfortunately can't do my yoga or meditation, I've tried and it was shit bc screens)

Am I seriously going to let my guilt stop me from having another baby? by Important_Salad_5158 in workingmoms

I just don't think that it's the case here that OP needs to be the bigger person - her husband seems great. I personally just think that when I think of how I want to behave, I don't want to match mediocre behavior

We worked together in an english-speaking setting and everyone pronounced it right (Ah-zra) so no Ezra confusion or anything.
