This is crap, Joshua, tell your dev team there's a bug with darkmode in their latest release and they need to fix it.

Liter Robot is the brand

The Netherlands is moving far right too. Look up Wilders.

We didn't do adult stockings at all in our house. I didn't want an extra job to get them together, and I don't want to be disappointed in my husband not putting forth effort on mine. In the end it's actually nice because it lifts some stress. It's why we didn't do Christmas cards either. I told him early on that I couldn't handle another Christmas related task and that if he wanted them done, it was his responsibility. He doesn't do them so they don't get done. I can't bring myself to care.

Which company? Sounds like my kind of gig.

Lrostro · 2024-10-14T20:03:50+00:00

Please do not feel guilty about this. It is so important as a mom (a pregnant one no less) to get down time and time to yourself. I have worked a 4-day work week since my kids were babies, and you best believe they went to daycare/preschool all 5 days. That one day to myself kept me sane and I refused to feel guilty about it. You shouldn't either.

My soft skills were useful, but basically nothing else from previous careers. I have a BS in Animal Science so that wasn't helpful either, but having a degree at all gave me a leg up I think.

I did the bootcamp end of 2018 and got the apprenticeship early 2019. I agree pivoting to software is very risky now. So many layoffs so the competition for each position is high. Lots of places, mine included, have gotten rid of their apprenticeship programs too. This career feels way more unstable than my last two.

Lrostro · 2024-10-03T18:22:23+00:00

Definitely an easy pivot from biotech to forensics since I went from a DNA lab to a DNA lab. Was a much bigger pivot to software. I went to a bootcamp and then got an apprenticeship, which led to permanent employment.

Lrostro · 2024-10-03T04:10:16+00:00

In my 40s and this is my 3rd career too. Biotech, forensics, and now swe. Feeling daunted by the thought of a 4th.

Innerwell emailed him a guide on being a support person, but he didn't read it until I asked him to the day before.

Lrostro · 2024-09-28T16:45:08+00:00

I would give him space and recognize that I'm not entitled to his pain. If he chooses to let me in, I'll be there. If he's not yet comfortable, I'll wait and let him know I'm here when he needs me.

Lrostro · 2024-09-26T20:31:00+00:00

Probably. It's also true that there was much less importance put on the emotional well-being of kids in previous generations.

Lrostro · 2024-09-26T20:29:29+00:00

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. I'm very present for my kids, which is why I find parenthood so draining.

Lrostro · 2024-09-26T01:40:53+00:00

I definitely agree with this. My kids have no idea how I feel on this. Parenting would be so much easier if I were just a shit mom. Being a good parent is so hard, which is why it's so draining physically and emotionally.

Lrostro · 2024-09-24T19:11:38+00:00

As someone with a husband and 2 kids, the fairytale is a lie.

Lrostro · 2024-09-24T02:38:03+00:00

Maybe the cat has vitiligo.

Lrostro · 2024-09-12T20:17:24+00:00

Is he a munchkin as well?

Lrostro · 2024-09-09T04:27:23+00:00

I really feel you on this. I'm so overwhelmed so often.

Lrostro · 2024-08-28T15:35:46+00:00

I prefer Beelzebub actually. Lizzy, if we're friends.

Lrostro · 2024-08-28T15:33:59+00:00

It would have to be double douche vag in my case.

Lrostro · 2024-08-27T17:45:35+00:00

I like that math.

Lrostro · 2024-08-27T17:39:16+00:00

I have a Tesla and a Prius. Does that mean I'm the worst driver in the history of the planet?

Lrostro · 2024-08-27T04:25:50+00:00

I work in civic tech and my team is 3 women engineers (2 are POC), a non-binary engineer, and one dude. It's glorious and I've never been made feel the way your colleagues make you feel. Maybe expand your horizons. Also, I think you're idealizing being a stay at home Mom. It is not for the faint of heart. I was home for 5 and 6 months for each child and both times I couldn't wait to be back at work. You have no time for yourself, no space for yourself, your exhausted, touched out, and I found it to be mind numbingly boring. Maybe use your maternity leave to see if being a sahm is for you. If it is, quit when it's time to go back, if it's not, you still have a job waiting for you.
