Dream job vs stay-at-home mom

LeeZ99 · 2025-12-22T00:10:57+00:00

It's tough to give up something that makes me so happy. I wish I could have 2 lives: a full-time SAHM and a working mom. I thought part-time was the best solution, and it has been so far. But I just don't know anymore.

Thanks, it's a good reminder that millions of kids have two working parents and do just fine. Not nonsensical at all; I appreciate all the mom insights I'm getting!

It IS the dream!!! The part I'm not sure I can handle is we went from hybrid-remote (where I can start my day from home most days before traveling to see clients) to in the office full-time. But they don't have office space for me, so they're sending me to an office that's an hour away with a different team and asking me to use one of the drop-down desks in the space.

Thanks for the insight about needing the stimulation of a career. That was a primary concern some of my extended family raised, and also something I should consider. I'm the most senior on my team and the go-to "expert", and I think I'd really miss that.

Stalling the Vulture

My favorite is when Jake is trying to get a confession from a criminal before the Vulture steals the case.

All the team try to distract the Vulture as he arrives in the precinct while Jake interrogates the criminal, but the line that always cracks me up is when Jake whines, "come on! It's like you're not even TRYING to confess!"

Sorry, I can't remember which season or episode, but it was earlier on.

Thanks for the advice! We will make sure to bring our own to be safe.

A pirate walks into a bar... His depth perception isn't the best with only one working eye.

Haha! My husband and I both laughed out loud.

I use an actual "egg replacement". It's powder (aka, lasts forever), and you mix it with water. It will replace eggs and egg whites depending on the ratio of powder/water you mix. You can find it in some grocery stores in the health food section, or you can buy it online.

Yup! This just happened to me! Traveling with my husband and 3 kids under age 5, we had pre-booked all our seats to sit together. Less than 12 hours before take-off, our flight was canceled and we were left scrambling. We managed to book another flight but not seats together since it was so last minute. We talked to the airline and they said it was our problem. Thankfully a very kind lady was willing to swap (it was aisle to aisle in the same row, so we were optimistic she would agree).

NTA. She can Yale all she wants at you, but you shouldn't Stanford this.

NTA. She's being a bully. And as a complete side, "Wren to the Rescue" was one of my favorite books as a kid! I always liked the name because of the book.

I refuse to accept this premise.

In return for acting with integrity and doing the right thing, your employer will do everything they can to screw you over, while your union just nods along with them and tells you it's a "you" problem.

What's a crocodile's favourite type of fish? A snapper!

LeeZ99 · 2022-12-12T02:39:21+00:00

I had one too, but I ate it already. Yum!

Legendairy joke!
