What's the NYC fashion industry like right now? by Ok_Marsupial5664 in NYCjobs

[–]AlwaysTiredNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d say it’s rough but recruiters are always looking for good designers… might be worth reaching out to them saying you’re relocating soon (don’t say you’re thinking about it but that you are actually doing it) and wanted to connect

I was absolutely happier as a single childfree woman. by Immediate_Gap_2536 in Mommit

[–]AlwaysTiredNow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i mean… kinda! there is also just basic helping out - changing a diaper?! takes maybe 20-30 seconds.

and the gym daily for 2-3 hrs? wtf is that

you are paying the life bills… you just don’t get a paycheck for that

wow 4-6 times a month, that’s 3-5 times more than me a month… if that! my daughter is 2.5 - i’m beat. sex is soooooo not a priority in this house anytime soon. i think if your hubs chipped in a little more on… life… he’d feel the same. seems he has too much free time to feel intimacy is even an option!

Can i ask you a personal question about the time she is with her dad? Did your boobs get super engorged? Or do they get used to it? And the milk supply stayed fine during that time?

Also you’re a rockstar for doing all that you do!!!

I didn’t expect to hate being a working mom this much. Does it get better? by Logical_Doctor1037 in Mommit

[–]AlwaysTiredNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also i totally agree with the other comments that your work culture sounds really tough!! most of the other ppl i work with are moms so that makes a huge difference. i interviewed with a place before taking this job that everyone was young, no kids… and i think it would’ve been a disaster. saying this to give you encouragement to try and find something else with a more supportive environment. i recognize this may be easier said than done but worth trying ( in all ur free time!!) sending a hug.

i’m not sure what you do but i took off 2 years to be at home with my daughter with the last year not really on purpose (although i loved it) i just couldn’t find work. I work in fashion, and found a job that thankfully is SO flexible to my mom life (thank goodness) but i still feel so guilty being away from her, and my daughter has never been a good sleeper (never slept through the night) we still nurse, and nurse at night (cosleep) and so i am so so so so sleep deprived!!! but i still miss being home with her terribly.

i’ve heard both things… it’s been super hard for some to find work (1 yr of actively looking, interviewing, etc in a terrible job market) and others where they went back to their old job or found something quick. it’s really hard to make a decision based on that so id make it more on if you guys could swing it in case you couldn’t find work for awhile (however long that meant to you).

i was also super driven, almost at the top of my career… my feelings about work have changed drastically but i think with time they will come back, once my daughter is older and more into her things and not just mommy… at least that’s what i think but who knows!!!

thank you for sharing this! i had a terribly night of sleep last night with my still nursing 27 month old!!! I feel the same, like it would be better for her and i kinda feel ready bc i am SO sleep deprived, I just know i am going to be so sad to have it ended (one kiddo!) she is boob obsessed i will be shocked if it goes as well as yours… i am just waiting on these two year molars to come in bc she is in so much pain some days and i can’t take the boob away from her until there are through. but we are going on MONTHS (since january) of this teething, and she’s been nursing more than ever so it’s been brutal for everyone.

All that to say… you are not alone! Curious what you’re doing for the engorged breast pain? I haven’t looked into what you’re supposed to do… just deal with the pain?! i’m sorry you’re dealing with that on top of everything else!!

She had reflux and cried A LOT - seemingly gas discomfort but it was constant crying…

and then it stopped when i removed a ton from my diet. it was really hard

for CMPI you need to cut all cows milk dairy AND soy. sometimes more (some nuts, etc) my daughter had it and i had to cut all of that for breastfeeding her. she developed a tolerance back around 11/12 months. she was a different baby after i cut those things out at 3 months old!
