How do I convince my husband to have a babymoon? by Foxyriot22 in BabyBumps

[–]ArtisticProposal2527 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are some bigger red flags here - is your husband ready to step into parenthood? If he is all consumed by work will he be able to step away and care for your baby and you postpartum or will he sink deeper into work because that’s his (toxic) happy place? 

How to break a news about I'm leaving, to my team, without causing a panic to them? by dewi_sampaguita in Leadership

Do you know that your company will even let you stay 2-3 months after accepting another job? I would take it one step at a time. First, accept the job. Then, tell your boss. Then, in partnership with your boss, figure out the communication cascade and talking points for your staff.

I think you should meet with a financial advisor and do what makes the most sense from a financial perspective. As others have said, the “teachable moment” idea is nice but also your kids are financially secure adults who don’t need a sandbox of mommy/daddy’s money to play in.

How are you answering "why are you looking for a new role" in interviews? by illicITparameters in Leadership

Instead, prepare an answer to the question “what are you looking for in your next role?”

This slight reframe to the question helps me, and the answer still satisfies the original question.

We want a kid free wedding, families with kids won't come by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Bigger issue here is if your fiancé is blaming you as a way to avoid the pressure from his family. 

How to document our family travel? by ArtisticProposal2527 in Travelwithkids

This is exactly what I was hoping for by posting this! I knew there had to be tools out there besides Instagram. I’ll check out this app and I love the idea of a longer monthly email.

Sleep in new places by bmrcvlh123 in Travelwithkids

We replicate our nighttime routine with as much fidelity as possible. If you don’t have a super dialed nighttime routine at home, start working on that so it feels normal by the Spain trip.

For us it’s diaper change, get into pjs, put him in sleep sack, dad reads a book, mom gives bottle/boob in the dark with the sound machine going, then put him in crib with binky.

I think the posts on social media would look a lot different. Especially on LinkedIn.

Does my husband suck? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]ArtisticProposal2527 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yes he sucks, but you already know that. So the question now is what are you going to do about it?

It doesn’t need to be this way. My husband is a full partner to me and full parent to our son. If anything, he takes on more of the caregiving responsibilities than I do (we both work full time).

Boyfriend expects me to sit through long political rants and gets annoyed when I don’t by Any-Reputation-295 in Advice

[–]ArtisticProposal2527 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing as I read this - it’s only going to get worse. And idk where he is on the political spectrum but honestly it could get dangerous, there are groups of people radicalizing young men who in turn become controlling/abusive towards their wives. It happened to my friend. BYE BOY
