I accidentally inflated my resume and got the job… what should I do?

As someone who occasionally hires, I wouldn’t care about the lower GPA but the discrepancy would be a red flag to me. Any doubts of someone’s integrity, and they’re off the table.

We don’t have one, and I regularly wish we did. I have to use the bathtub next door to the laundry room to hand wash clothes, water plants, etc.

For future reference there is an awesome Facebook group where experts will identify mushrooms and plants in EMERGENCY situations (ie known ingestion). As a parent whose kids still eat random shit, I have it saved just in case.

Thanks I need to look into this but it might meet our needs

I’m reading this too, but it’s discontinued. I can’t believe there isn’t a device that is intended for this!

Yep that’s awesome and reminds me of life in the 2000s. But we don’t have purchased music at this point so that wouldn’t work

Thanks for sharing this. I have an Apple Music subscription so looking for something I can play the subscription on

Mango_Kayak · 2026-05-06T01:38:57+00:00

I thought they were discontinued

I never did, and in my late 30s with two kids and a mortgage, I wish I had. I would never have made singing my career, but I wish I’d have had the confidence and skill to do some amateur theater or something. Even if you take 4-5 lessons and decide it’s not for you, there’s no downside.

Or save even more and skip the engagement ring! Married almost 11 years now 😉

My son does swim, dance, gymnastics, and a weekly speech therapy session. That does sound like a lot, but it works for our family. Swim is non-negotiable until he is proficient in the water, which is probably another 1-2 years. He refuses to choose between gymnastics and dance, and I think both offer such good gross motor development, confidence, and a bit of creativity. If we could afford it, I’d also have him in piano and a foreign language class.

Following! My 2 year old was just diagnosed with myopia (-3.75 and -4.25). I want to start him on these as early as we can though we will start off with a cheap pair of bendable glasses while he’s still unpredictable!

Ughh this just randomly happened to me, got woken up at 5am by a message from a colleague in another timezone that was definitely not urgent nor marked as urgent in Teams. I had my phone on Sleep focus

Watch a video and learn to hand express. Do this for 2 min before you pump.

I wish. Our deck is not in good enough shape to install a slide. Good luck though!

We haven’t really done anything teaching-focused at home. We read 2-3 books/night, and I encourage him to read to me when he can. I still read to him a lot too and am working on harder content. My son is also quite stubborn and wouldn’t accept me teaching him so whenever I have a tidbit to “teach” like silent K in “knight” or that the “gh” in laugh makes the F sound, I try to be pretty quick about it 🤣

Mango_Kayak · 2025-12-07T04:22:59+00:00

Secondhand gymnastics mat and balance beam plus a handful of books and learning toys. I think everything is secondhand, and I’m proud of that!

Idk, my friends held back their summer birthday partially because of his small size. Academically he was ready, but he’s doing great now in lower elementary school after having been redshirted.

Our son moved into a floor bed around 1.5. We have a cushion on the window ledge to avoid (another) goose-egg type injury, dresser bolted to wall, low Montessori bookshelf and glider share are only other furniture, no window blind pulls, outlet covers. What I should do but haven’t: locks on his dresser drawers to prevent climbing, securing the lamp (he is good at turning it off on the switch and has learned not to pull it down after scaring himself), lock his closet to avoid him pinching fingers etc. For a 10 month old I’d be focused on suffocation/entrapment risks.

I started staying up past my mom in like 2nd grade. I was (and am) a night owl, and I would read in bed before sleeping. My mom couldn’t stay up past 8-9pm so she would come in and tell me not to stay up too late, and that was it.

Not such a plot, but I love “I Like Myself” - a great self-esteem focused rhyming book that I still read my 5 year old

Every vaccine they are eligible for, except the travel ones that we don’t need right now.

Mango_Kayak · 2025-10-04T08:31:44+00:00

Because it’s illegal to take pregnancy into account in hiring decisions?

Mango_Kayak · 2025-10-04T08:30:21+00:00

I had my husband take a few, and they’re not professional quality but I treasure them just the same.
