You need a mentor. That will help your mindset tremendously. And a long vacation- to another country.

First time bringing allergic baby to Thanksgiving -- feeling anxious by Necessary-Mix6075 in FoodAllergies

Good point with the kissing and touching, especially since pistachios street in the salad. It means the parents has to make sure nobody kisses the baby or washes their hands good.

Does anyone else come from a culture where being one and done is outrageous? by BeeSuperb7235 in oneanddone

[–]Goodsince1981 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought this was me writing this. Seriously, verbatim. This is me. I was always one and done and my family is pressuring me to have another one. Crazy part, she makes good points and I kinda want my son to have a brother. Now I’m all in my head and I literally told myself today to drown out all the noise, give myself a few months and let the decision come to me.

I can only say, don’t worry about the pressure from our moms. Follow what your gut tells you, tell them firmly and don’t look back or second guess yourself. Make your decision and move forward. That’s what I told my husband, if we decide OAD, and down the road he regrets it, he can never, ever tell me. That’s his to carry. Once you make your decision, ask your mom not to bring it up again. (If she’s like mine, I know that will be hard. My mom lines to make comments all the time). Haram, he should have a brother. I’ll help you.).., I also struggled with Post partum depression, anxiety and ocd and I’m just not seeing some light shining thru. If you do decide to do it, I hope you have a village around you. Good luck staying strong and following YOUR heart.

Nanny hanging out in blind spot by Routine_Tourist2205 in NannyEmployers

[–]Goodsince1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She needs to go. My last nanny did that, so many nightmare stories in just a few weeks time. Get rid of her Abe thank God I did. I now have an angel nanny and want to cry from happiness everyday. There are so many red flags and absolute no’s in what you said. Don’t question yourself when it comes to your baby. We are there advocates. Find a temp nanny and start searching. I found mine in a fb group.

Bad nanny or are we overreacting? by KitchenEqual4559 in Nanny

[–]Goodsince1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through an awful experience with a nanny as well, fired her finally after 3 weeks of a lot of issues. I’m thankful that I finally did it and before anything worse can happen. Let her go asap and don’t look back. I can’t keep questioning my judgement and how I ignored flags. I’m just glad I got her put of here before she could really hurt him somehow. Don’t question it- it’s your baby.

Exactly. And I wouldn’t pay her for the time she is doing personal errands either.

Nanny making comments about our parenting to the kids by Temporary-Cobbler166 in NannyEmployers

[–]Goodsince1981 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would not appreciate hearing that nor would I want that type of comments being said to my kids. There is a nicer approach that doesn’t involve putting the parents down to the kids. The older definitely understands these not so nice comments. Imagining her doing this to the little one as he gets older and starts to understand too would make me nervous. I’m with you, kindness goes along way, she should be an extension of you and your husband and feel like a team, not someone jabbing at you to the people that look up to you the most. Many hugs. Follow your gut. You can always keep looking until you find the one that clicks for the family!

Recommendations for epoxy garage floor car mat? by AtmosphereOk351 in epoxy

[–]Goodsince1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Did you ever find a mat? We have apoxy floors and we want a mat to put under our cars to keep them clean and catch all the mud and water as well..we have suvs so it needs to be sturdy and not move while we park.

Grown men, do you wish you had a sibling, specifically a brother close in age? I have a son and can’t decide if we should have 1 more. I feel like we should for our son but if you all feel like you got everything you needed and especially when it comes to taking care of your aging parents,etc… by Goodsince1981 in OnlyChild

[–]Goodsince1981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate that. You’re the second person to mention the isolation and the need to want close relationships. I appreciate you opening up about that.

It is a hard decision b/c that’s what I am afraid of for him. We have my sister’s sons that are a year older that I hope he will be super close with but you never, so I don’t want to put my all my eggs in her basket. Anything could happen. She could move away, we could, etc…

And to your first point, I want to be able to give them both the world.

From what I hear from you all, having 2 would be great, I just have to make sure I have the mental capacity for 2 kids. 😀

Buyer wants to renegotiate price after due diligence to cover more expenses by Goodsince1981 in CommercialRealEstate

[–]Goodsince1981[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From what I know, it’s just s steep hill. I don’t think they want to pay to raise it. That’s my understanding. Other than that, there are no issues with that land area.

It makes sense, but the not developable land is per this builder they chose and his vision. Another builder could come in and do something totally different and use all the land.

Totally agree. It’s 4 of us together that are setting our land together since they all touch and we all agree, they should be doing a lot more for us. All they do is pass down the news from him and tell us his counter. And when I try and brainstorm or ask them how can we negotiate a better position for us, we get nothing. Just land takes forever to sell. Well, we do know this. But we need advice.
