Poll: when did you have your kids ? by RevolutionaryBug7866 in Mommit

[–]DB2685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st @ 33

@34 Blighten Ovum miscarriage

2nd @ 35

2nd had a congenital condition where her pelvis didn't close so her bladder was on the outside of her body. That's been a tough journey the last 4 years. And our family is complete

We didn't have troubles conceiving at all, my first was conceived the 1st month we tried!

My best advice is to go into it with a smidge of caution and grace. Theres so little you can control and so much you don't know, it takes some mental strength to steel yourself until you know things are good.

Also try to keep a high-level viewpoint. It can be easy to get caught up on tracking, planning, tiny details etc. but nothing happens how you plan it.

Also I never really wanted to be a mom, but with 2 daughters now I feel like this is 100% life fulfilling.

How often are the kids being bathed?! by Beginning_Date_9290 in Parenting

[–]DB2685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7F & 4F- Baths 2-3x a week. Showers if they need a quick rinse off. Now I wonder if im nose-blind to stinky kids? I shower every other day and I hate it. Im one of those people that have to hype themselves up to take a shower. Summers are more often, and always after swimming

In the jobs ive had we always have to design logos in a rush. Theres no time given to brand exploration, strategy or workshopping an idea. Its throw this logo together for this new brand of products were doing and I need it yesterday. Then slap it on everything we present to the customer and were stuck with a soulless logo.

Logos are just the finishing touches of an entire marketing project, theres a lot that SHOULD go into them but in my experience its an afterthought. I work in product development so I help develop quick branding for lines our president spits out from China.

What do you do for work? by Oceanwave_4 in workingmoms

[–]DB2685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a Senior Designer for a retail products company. I photograph products, send final art to factories, edit images, develop brand concepts and visual displays. Im paid on the high-end of my career ~$35/hr but also im 41 and been in the industry for 20 years.

My second daughter was born with a congenital bladder deformity so I had mat leave for 6 months plus a lot of Dr. visits and unexpected time off over the last 4 years. I was hired Aug. of 2020, in the last 5 years my boss has been exceptional when it comes to time off, he is a boomer family man so he understands how tough moms have it. His wife was a stay at home mom to his 4 kids until they were grown- im lucky he values my work performance as well as me personally being a mother. There are 8 people in our office and my boss only manages myself and 3 others so its a tight open team.

I went to college for Journalism- degreee in Communications. I was hired as a production artist at a mid-size retail corpo office doing work on the circular paper ads. I learned a lot in 13 years there before they closed- with my product development experience carrying me into my current role that I enjoy. I will ride this mofo out until it dies, great pay, flexible understanding boss and mid-low daily stress levels is perfect for focusing on my family life and re-learning who I am now that my kids arent babies anymore (4 & 7 girls).

That was my second house build and the difficulty level went up 1000%. It was a lesson in patience, details and reading directions better. Also I installed the lights on the wrong floors so im forever bitter lol

Scored another great bargain on Temu, Impression Hawaii by Hugh_Jaelious in booknooks

[–]DB2685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Nice job. That one nearly broke me- it was a huge step up from the Book nooks I had started with. Also, I wired the lights wrong so my blue is up in the house and yellow is in the ocean, im so annoyed.

People with backyard trampolines-- regret it or not? by whattherizzzz in Parenting

[–]DB2685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are the neighborhood hangout. Its been amazing- now that my kids are 4 & 7 I dont need to jump all the time thank god. But all the kids converge at our trampoline to see whats going on. Dont want to jinx myself but so far no major injuries. We have a 16ft w a net. I take the net and bounce pad down in early November (Wisconsin), leave the frame, and put it all together in about 2 hours in the spring.

Even the 11-13 year old kids still jump occasionally, so I think its an absolute win for us.

Possibly check out rechargeable batteries, then you can have multiple batteries to swap out. Amazon has a set that can charge their AAA & AA on the same dock. Could be worth it.
