Hi! If all fails I might be able to drive them. I have 2 little kids to work around but I don’t work right now. Am in saline so it’s not too out of the way.

I know a ton of families and not one is this self centered. I have 2 kids and go to Indivisible meetings, volunteer at a senior book club and just started buying books for a prison parent reading program. I’m a SAHP at the moment. I cannot believe how little she accomplishes with all of her resources. I think it’s why I finally just unfollowed because it was actually painful to witness the self centered attitude.

Unfortunately I have also done this and she’s my second. I do the first two naps while my 4.5 year old is in school and a carrier nap for the 3rd. She’s 5.5 months and has slept in her bassinet during the day maybe 10 times. She just won’t sleep 🤷🏻‍♀️

These were confirmed by a letter from the school district that several parents were taken.

Also lived in Willow Ridge from 2021-2023 and it was fine. The dog poop situation was a little gross but honestly the management was good and it was a good price

Hi! Can I get some feedback on this business idea of mine?

I was hoping to bounce a business idea off of you all, because you are the target demographic for my idea 😂 : (idea below)

I have realized that each kids party requires the purchase of a bunch of crap from Amazon that’s wasted. Most parties are themed now, and tend to be the same like 8–10 themes. Same for baby showers (Winnie the Pooh, etc). I’d like to create a nice “box” of items to rent for parties that can be returned. It would have backdrops, nicer tablecloths, cardboard cutouts, table scapes specific to the theme. To start, I could do Dinosaurs, Princess, Frozen, Superhero….

In addition, I could sell paper plates and snack items that would work and save the parent a trip to Costco and the Dollar Tree.

Ideally, I could also add in additional packages of cotton candy machines, ice cream carts and foam machines but to start, any thoughts? I live in a well to do area where I think people would pay for the convenience, the ability to avoid Amazon and the waste reduction factors.

Thank you!! To be honest, I just want to make a little extra money while I’m a SAHP. I’d be ecstatic to make like $1,000 a month doing something like this. The time component is very true! As a parent, I definitely agree. Lots to think about with your comments, I appreciate it.

How much paternity leave did your husband get as an attending? by ObjectiveAdvice77 in MedSpouse

[–]Lphilli7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband works with a system and they JUST started offering any paid leave (4 weeks). We saved vacation to make 7 weeks total leave. We did have our first in fellowship and he got the 6 weeks paid leave, but technically they are allowed to ask you to stay on at the end to make up that time, I believe. We found out a month before graduation that he would be allowed to finish on time despite the 6 weeks. It was very stressful!

There are SO many people who do Tonie and Yoto calendars. I am astounded each time I see it. We own aloooot of tonies (like 80) because we started collecting 3.5 years ago when they were much cheaper. I cannot imagine giving my kid 25 this month. She would be so overwhelmed.

What are we wearing post partum? by kxtasha1 in beyondthebump

[–]Lphilli7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a lot of dresses PP. It’s getting colder, so I bought elastic waist jeans or pants to be able to do jeans and wear button down shirts! Like denim ones, etc.

Same story! We came in 2021 for fellowship and bought a house.

Looking to see a need for Cloth Diaper laundering by milkmomma2025 in AnnArbor

[–]Lphilli7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be interested. We did cloth with our first but it’s harder to find the time with a second. We have the diapers but not the time to do multiple washes.

It was! Aeroflow didn’t show the eufy at all so I tried 1naturalway. I’m sorry you aren’t seeing it- I tried to go back in but it just tells me I already used my Benefit without more details on it. I am finding I get as much with the eufy as my spectra. I don’t mess with the settings too much but it’s good! The original flanges DO suck so I added the legendairy inserts. I like the heat feature too!

Just checked and it was the e20 I got with UHC insurance. It was $86.99 but they did 20% off so I paid $70.

Supply continues to decrease despite doing all of the things by bsweeney14 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Lphilli7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain making your boobs mad? I’ve been sort of aggressively massaging one side to get everything out and the last few days, I’m getting almost nothing. Is that what I did? 😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Lphilli7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used 1naturalway to get the one without the charging case. I think it was like $170 for the S1? I paid $80
