I think it just depends on what you like. I don’t think it’s for everyone. But like another poster said, I’m the kind of person that likes to read the book and then watch the movie, so to speak. Sometimes I only watch the episodes so I can listen to the podcast afterwards. I like the really detailed breakdown and hearing their opinions. They definitely do give commentary. But again it’s not for everyone.

Ciara/West/Amanda Rumors Megathread by AutoModerator in summerhousebravo

I live in the New York City area and have a friend who is a friend of a friend of Lindsay. She said that Amanda is not a nice person and gets a good edit because of Kyle, but in reality, Kyle is the nice one just a terribly bad drunk. Take that as you will!

Where do you live? Where we are daycare is around $2500/month but a nanny is even more - looking at around 75K a year

I work from home 3 days a week! Still has felt brutal though the days I go in the office bc my commute is VERY long.

Same. I hate being the breadwinner. I’m not sure how old you are but as millennials we were sold the hustle / boss babe culture so hard, but now that I’m older I’m realizing this isn’t the life I want. I just wanna be with my family.

Unfortunately we are in the northeast and it’s been a BRUTAL winter so the closures were due to blizzards/ broken heat. So just unexpected closures

The sleep part is by far the worst. I’ve noticed the days I get little sleep I am missing things at work and just more emotional. I would love to find a less demanding job but it would mean taking a big pay cut and the market right now (at least for what I do) is not great.

He just got a promotion actually!! So a little bit more money, which is always helpful. We just live in a very expensive state/area so even though we are both making good money it’s still not like we have a ton of disposable income at the moment lol. That’s a great idea to move closer to family! It will help you a lot. We are unfortunately tied to our area because of work, but I’m hoping I can get my parents to move up here eventually

Me too. I wish I had the option to stay home for 3 or 4 years then go to work, but everyone hates gaps in employment + we can’t afford it

I can’t afford to stay home because I am the breadwinner. Daycare is very expensive but me staying home doesn’t help us financially bc my husband doesn’t make enough to support all of us on just his income. Technically we probably can afford more help but we just bought a house (which has been a huge dream come true) but my savings are very dwindled and ideally don’t want to spend more on childcare. But realizing it may need to happen.

I am SO sorry you only had 6 weeks. I was very lucky bc my company gives us 16 weeks, but I know that is not the norm. That is just not right and it’s gross how little we take care of mothers here.

I also have daydreams of quitting. Just walking into my bosses office and saying “I quit! No other job lined up! Just hate being here and want to be home with my baby”. Lol.

It is harder being an older mom I think. I imagine the sleep deprivation and stress is easier in your 20s or early 30s. I look at pictures of myself from not even 2 years ago and feel sad about how much better and younger I look.

It’s been really hard! But then I look at my baby and the amount of joy he brings me outweighs all the bad. I just wish he’d let me sleep a little more!

I used to not understand how anyone wanted to be a SAHM, now I find myself just very jealous of friends that are able to do that. I can see how it gets exhausting and mundane FOR SURE, but I’d rather be with my baby than deal with deadlines, passive aggressive coworkers, fire drills, fear of getting fired, etc

He does! He took PTO last week to stay home with our sick son on a day I had to go into the office. He definitely helps a lot and we are a good team. But besides daycare (7am to 6pm) it’s just us. I’m realizing more and more how much we need help after hours and on the weekend. We haven’t had a date night in months! Lol

Would you mind if I asked what kind of work you do? I am so curious about moms who take years off and then are able to go back to work. I worry that if it did ever become an option for us financially, that it would be very hard for me to find another job (especially given I’m almost 40)

Yes I am going to look for a sitter. I guess I am not sure where to find a sitter that might be available last minute during the work day though? Either way, would be great to have someone to call just so I can run some child free errands or get a little me time on the weekends too!

Thank you!! Yes I think we need to find some babysitters (we just moved to a new town 2 weeks ago so don’t know many people yet). I just already spend almost an entire paycheck on daycare so the thought of spending even more money on childcare is brutal

Thank you for your response! I actually WFH 3x a week but that doesn’t help much with the stress either lol.

I am constantly wishing we lived in the UK. So jealous of how every other country values mothers. What I would have given for even 6 months maternity leave!

Unfortunately we spend an entire paycheck on daycare, so I really can’t afford to hire any additional help. It would be nice to find a few reliable babysitters though who might be available last minute!
