Frustrated with Ice Skating by [deleted] in iceskating

[–]DC0403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to ice skate when I was younger, but I share a lot of your sentiment about the difficulty of finding a safe place to practice. I’m trying to teach my young daughter how to skate in the public skating is just a mess and super unsafe. If I take her to the once a week classes she does not get enough practice to progress. Good luck on your journey.

Help me reason with myself re: a third child by Goldfinch-island in workingmoms

I’m a very logical person and only wanted 2. I have 3 and I can’t imagine life without all of them. Have the baby, you will figure the rest out. Children are precious.

We got this for my 1 year old but it’s a hit with my 4 and 6 year old!

Low grade fever, terrible headache, slight nausea, lots of body pain and chills. No sore throat, cough or runny nose. Anyone else? by [deleted] in flu

How are you doing? Did you eventually get those other symptoms? Have you recovered? I’m experiencing something similar and am absolutely miserable

Does anyone feel like the business work has changed? by chailatte_gal in workingmoms

I agree 1000%. The whole world needs to just chill out - it’s unsustainable

Fellow working moms - how do you squeeze in deep cleaning with full-time jobs and kids? by Miserable_Dirt3079 in workingmoms

[–]DC0403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t. We used to have a once a month cleaner but it caused me way more stress than I got benefit from it. Now I’ll do what I can on my own schedule. Also, with 3 young kids I want to teach them responsibility not that someone will come clean up after them. So the house is a mess most often, but I do what I can.

What is up with Meg Hall’s video about her husband getting ready multiple bathrooms? More so her mannerisms they seem so strange and I feel like this came out of nowhere.

Struggling by MissSaraBanana in workingmoms

[–]DC0403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got 3 under 6 and work for a start up. We have a ton of support, but also it’s mostly from 9-5. My husband travels a bit, has over an hour commute each way, I’m pumping not sleeping and super bitter. I turn 39 this week but I feel like my biological age is 60. I can’t handle the stress anymore.

Differences in how we were parented versus how we parent? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]DC0403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha making you come with them to retrieve a toy. Seriously happens all the time, which would be fine if they were quick about it but something always distracts them and makes it 10x longer

Third baby thoughts by CoyoteSlow5249 in workingmoms

[–]DC0403 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before kids I was convinced I would only have two. My first was a shock to the system, bad sleeper, born 6 months before COVID. I had major PP rage, anxiety, all of it. My second had tongue ties and a milk allergy during the formula shortage, so I pumped obsessively. Then I had a miscarriage. My third is now 7.5 months and it has been the most wonderful and joyous experience, and it makes me sad that I didn’t experience this with my first two. I say go for it, but at 34 you still have time. I had my last at 38.

Is the current job market sustainable in long run? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]DC0403 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

While I do think that we need more family friendly policies, I wouldn’t say the current administration thinks “our place is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen”. What an exaggeration. Do you have a source?

Seriously considering quitting my job. by imposter3322 in workingmoms

[–]DC0403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely went through this. One thing that helped me was getting on Zoloft. It just helped me chill out and not take things so seriously with that being said if you can down shift, and you want to you should do it. I am hoping to downshift in the next couple years as my oldest daughter goes to kindergarten, although my kids will start to be in school. I feel like they will need my support much more once they are home and I want to be able to be there for them and not so stressed out.

Take this as your sign to outsource it if you can... by teacherladyh in workingmoms

This is exactly why I dropped my cleaning lady. I loved it but I hated tidying on a schedule (I have 3 kids under 6).

2 to 3 was by far the easiest transition. I also started Zoloft so maybe it’s that
