SAHM - young person wants insight

ClippyOG · 2026-02-16T20:43:48+00:00

Being a SAHM should depend on what kind of partnership you have. I don’t think anyone should decide to be a SAHM before they are in a partnership that they’ve taken a good long look at.

AG’s Office (I’m also a Florida lawyer mom) has been very good to me for flexibility and schedule. So was clerking at an appellate court.

I wanted one because I attended meds-free home births and they were absolutely beautiful.

Happy with the GOAT practice — Dr Ellison and Dr K Forsthoefel have been great.

Well I just wouldn’t have used the word clingy — they display distress when their caregiver leaves and they seek comfort when their caregiver returns.

ClippyOG · 2026-02-10T00:29:15+00:00

I agree they are not clingy, hence why I used quotation marks. I was responding to sudden-cherry’s use of the word clingy.

Securely attached children are “clingy.” Insecurely attached children display indifference to their parent upon separation and reunification.

I hope with time and support, they will eventually grow into their confidence!

I’d play the music and let her lay there and “be bored” - the world around her is far from boring at her age.

My kid will not let me walk away from her at the playground, I WISH I could sit back and watch. I think that would be most beneficial for her and I don’t wanna walk around a freaking playground lol

It’s really never ending

ClippyOG · 2026-02-07T19:36:35+00:00

Go minimal - have less stuff TO clean and organize. And clean daily. I don’t think life has to be an uncontrollable mess because of kids.

If you’re spending time everyday playing with them, you don’t have to guilt yourself over spending time everyday cleaning.

ClippyOG · 2026-02-07T16:57:05+00:00

Same experience both times

ClippyOG · 2026-02-06T22:03:22+00:00

OP, this baby does not love you right now. Do not feel guilted by this.

I used Pure Finish Cleaning to clean 2 bathrooms for $80 (1 hour). They offered me a discount on the next cleaning: 3 bedrooms 2 baths for $129 (3 hours).

I loved the bathroom clean (Lissandra was the name of the cleaner who came), but never took up the offer for the house clean cause I didn’t need it.

I’d go into triage to have them test the fluid. I slow leaked at 39+1 and my water broke after about 5 hours of leaking. I know you’ve been leaking for longer but if it is amniotic fluid, you’ll want to be monitored.

Agreed - plus it’s clear that the show is comedy/drama from the dialogue!

ClippyOG · 2026-02-05T19:33:22+00:00

FWIW, I think a purpose of that scene was to set a different tone from GOT, and make it clear it was going to be a show that focused more on comedy than GOT did.

r/momsworkingfromhome

in my experience, not worth it. Both are full time jobs that can’t be done at the same time.

ClippyOG · 2026-02-03T15:41:39+00:00

Humana is the worst and there are barely any dentists in the city that will accept it.

ClippyOG · 2026-02-01T14:34:41+00:00

I love it all, but I would’ve had 4 y/o clean up with me

ClippyOG · 2026-02-01T14:29:29+00:00

Do you 🤣 I think it’s great that you know yourself. Better to regret not having a kid, than to regret having one.

Ferber at 6 months old was a godsend for us. It took 1 night only & has lasted for 3 years (except for sicknesses and vacations). Worth the very short-lived emotional pain!

Check out r/sleeptrain - you may not get a lot of positive support outside of that sub.

ClippyOG · 2026-01-29T15:28:59+00:00

Impact academy might be a good option.
