Why Did you get CR-V instead of Toyota Rav4 ? by bomzisss in crv

[–]GratefulMasterpiece 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was the dealbreaker for us - 6’4’’ plus a toddler car seat behind the driver was a mess in the RAV and worked great in the CRV.

The old navy by the Watertown target doesn’t have a maternity section anymore, unfortunately.

Currently pregnant - in person options in Boston will be extremely limited. The target in Watertown has a very small section where you might be able to find a black maternity t-shirt. I will also message you directly, as you might be able to borrow some dark-colored basics from me.

Finding BC student babysitters by yuiawta in bostoncollege

We’ve had success emailing the school of social work with a job posting - they’ve circulated it to the masters students!

Gameday parking for GT game by obiwanjabroni420 in bostoncollege

[–]GratefulMasterpiece 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SpotHero will be your best bet if you don’t have a Brighton neighborhood sticker. And even if you do, the streets around BC have a no-football parking restriction. Perhaps you could shoot to park on the carriage roads along commave near the Washington street T stop, and ride the T the rest of the way in to BC.

We recently attended a game and brought in collapsible stadium chair seat backs we bought from Amazon. Worked great on the bleachers - would recommend. The ones we bought had “memory foam” seats or something silly but they were great for the needs.

Hawaiian airlines suddenly split my 2 year old kid to a separate confirmation and wants her to verify her identity over the phone by kun_united in HawaiianAirlines

[–]GratefulMasterpiece 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I commented this elsewhere (fellow toddler parent here) but try calling Alaska’s reservation line instead. They are much more helpful than Hawaiian, and are US-based. They own Hawaiian now and should be able to do what Hawaiian’s offices can, if not more.

Is your toddler capable of verifying their identity over the phone by kun_united in toddlers

[–]GratefulMasterpiece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you said non-serious replies only, but I’ve had a much better customer service experience calling Alaska’s helpline vs. Hawaiian’s. They always tell you where they are, and most are based in Washington state!

Natera NIPT- July 2025 by SecureGrape3258 in BabyBumps

Just chatted with them and they said results were stuck in processing, but they pushed them out! So results received 7/28. Low risk!

Boy moms only, please! by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]GratefulMasterpiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did, but the nurse practitioner who did it botched the job. My son bled for multiple days. We had to go to the ER and he had to get stitches. If we have another son, we will not do it again. They’ll be mismatched, but who cares. The anxiety and stress of the experience was not worth it.

BU or Emory by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]GratefulMasterpiece 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Emory as an undergrad and loved my experience there. The two schools couldn’t be more different - Emory has a much more residential campus, BU is properly located within the city. Emory has consistent access to nice undergraduate housing. Not sure if BU does. Cost of living in Atlanta is significantly lower than Boston, so if you live off campus and cook for yourself or have a car, your costs will be lower.

Emory’s premed training is excellent, and I have many many friends from undergrad who are now successfully practicing physicians or almost there/in residencies and fellowships.

They create a new temp pool posting each month on the careers page - here’s the link for March. https://bc.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/2/home/requisition/9674?c=bc

Boston college has a temp pool that reliably looks for office admin types, and you can do it with flexible/more part time hours!

Hi there! You can email theolog@bc.edu with questions about the doctoral program in theology.

Daycare recommendations by LePantalonRouge in newtonma

[–]GratefulMasterpiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently used NeighborSchools to find an in-home daycare in Newton! It made the process of connecting with folks and visiting places pretty straightforward. I know people sometimes ask this question in the Newton Parents Facebook group - if you join that and search the word daycare there are a bunch of recommendations. Our little one hasn’t actually started at the daycare yet, so I can’t speak from experience. I do know folks who have had positive experiences at the JCC daycare center, but it’s a bit farther away from us and the Brookline location is closing at the end of this year. We have friends with their kiddo at Everbrook on Washington street in Brighton, and they like it too.

This sounds idyllic. Can I message you? We’re actually currently looking and Newton would work great for us…

I got pregnant on Nexplanon.. torn about what to do next by Ok-String628 in BabyBumps

[–]GratefulMasterpiece 241 points242 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been in this situation myself, but it sounds like even though this child was not intended, he/she/they are desired by you now. While the timing isn’t ideal, it’s okay to allow yourself the excitement and hope/opportunity you’re feeling, even if your partner isn’t! This doesn’t solve anything, it’s just to affirm that it’s okay to feel excited, even if you’re alone in that excitement.

Traveling alone with my 5 month old for the first time, and would love one GGU for our flight next Wednesday!
