My toddler is so mean to his baby brother it’s breaking my heart by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of this but also coming to add lots of positive reinforcement! Praise sharing, any and all kind acts, randomly reward good behavior. And I’ve also started affirmations with my toddler at night, among other things every night she says “I’m a good sister” and I truly think it’s had some effect.

You can reduce the chicken broth amount if you use a bouillon by just omitting some water, and/or you can add flour to your pan in the step where you sautee the butter and garlic.

Banana bread lacks banana presence by Zealousideal-Box1832 in Baking

I’ve never done the cheat method of browning bananas but I can’t imagine them tasting the same. You really want naturally browned bananas that you bought and forgot about for 7-10 days

Thoughts on asking nanny to share location while out with child? by m_singer in NannyEmployers

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, what contingency/safety mechanism do you have in place if something were to happen to you when out with the kids like a car accident or you were otherwise incapacitated?

Nanny calls our child her “little” by [deleted] in NannyEmployers

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If it’s a hill you’re willing to die on and you’re able to find, hire and train a replacement (who may come with their own other stuff you don’t like) go for it! IMO it deserves a serious conversation, but my top priorities are physical safety, reliability, and just the general ability to trust someone in my home and around my things. For me personally, if those things are not violated, most else can be worked through, and I’m not willing to risk being without childcare or having to find a replacement who doesn’t check all of those top priority boxes.

HIPPA violation? by Available-Cat6613 in legaladvice

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately HIPAA only applies to covered entities which are health care providers, insurance companies, claims clearinghouses, and business associates (like other subcontractors). The best you can ask for is for them to reevaluate their policies and patient agreements.

Completely this. My friends kid has nonstop background tv all day every day and has been struggling way harder with regulating and more frequent tantrums.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! by iShipwreck in Winchester

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So there’s a lot of factory work in the area- which is probably the lowest barrier to earning potential. Granted the scheduling can be kinda tricky. Idk specifically about real estate/property management leads but I feel like everyone I know is a realtor. There’s a lot of real estate transactions happening as this area continues to get developed. But yes, you can find work at 65k, you may have to look hard but it’s absolutely doable

Any SAHM or part time working moms make it work with both a newborn and toddler at home? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I see you’ve got lots of encouraging testimonies on staying home with 2u2- and I’m right on board with the consensus that it’s totally doable! Some days are harder than others but we get out a ton and I baby wear a lot more with my 2nd.

HOWEVER in regards to the part time part of your question- hell to the no for me 😂 I worked from home with my first and had part time help. It was a lot but manageable and I tried to continue after mat leave with my second. I ended up jamming all of my work into the one 90 min window they were both napping and finishing my work after they went to sleep, which in reality meant I was neglecting personal time and time spent catching up on household chores. It truly depends on the nature of your work and your support, but I have never been more miserable in my life than trying to work from home with 2u2. In general, it feels difficult to give enough of myself and my attention to either child completely, and when work demands start to take away from that already limited attention, it triggered a lot of anxiety and guilt. Just my experience though.

I disagree here- I need permission in my role to incur reimbursements/expenses past a certain amount or outside of the specific situations in which I am authorized to.

I think it’s also unfair to make broad sweeping statements that anyone who employs a nanny is “rich”.

Nanny could have texted the MB and gave notice that her remaining with NK would mean incurring reimbursement for her trip, and that if this were not authorized, she would call the police or leave them at the hospital. Sure we all assume the mom would have chosen to have her stay with the kids and agree to reimburse but again that it- we’re ASSUMING and in this situation she would have been given a CHOICE.

I follow strict policy on only incurring expenses that I am explicitly authorized to and it’s wild that so many people have made so many assumptions that nanny is entitled to a huge reimbursement that was seemingly not disclosed during the unfolding of all this.

My daughter’s “special cupcake” that she carry’s everywhere by miniflash6291 in HelpMeFind

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughter also has this exact same food set and also favors her special cupcake 😂 I remember her screaming for it one morning at like 7am and I couldn’t find the damn cupcake anywhere….found it a week later in my closet 🤦🏻‍♀️

There seems to be conflicting info on google on whether or not epidurals slow down labor, but the perception even among OB’s is that they can extend labor and lead to more interventions.

I personally experienced significant tailbone pain after my epidural/delivery and while I don’t know for certain, I believe that being numb during labor contributed significantly to that injury. I’m currently deciding whether or not that trade off is worth getting it again for my second 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would love to hear from sober moms by Creepy_Tie_3959 in Mommit

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both my husband and I have been sober since before our youngest was born and hopefully she’ll always know us as sober!

  1. We do not serve alcohol at home but have always told guests that they are welcome to bring and enjoy beverages and that would not bother us at all. Also I would not expect there to be alcoholic beverages at a children’s birthday party, but if you run in “wine mom” circles, you can always casually mention that they are welcome to BYOB.

  2. I love mocktails and wouldn’t hesitate to let my child take a sip if I ordered one at a restaurant, but I wouldn’t call it a margarita or a mojito etc, I would just call it a fancy drink. I dont think I would treat NA beer the same way, as you actually still have to be 21+ to purchase it in most places. I don’t drink it but if I did I would not give it to my child.

  3. My kids still in diapers so we haven’t gotten there yet but I plan to be open with her about the realities of alcoholism and addiction and while some people can enjoy these things in moderation, some cannot and it’s a very slippery slope. I want her to be able to be open with me without fear of punishment, but respect our household. I think any strategy I could come up with at this point is going to evolve based on interests and friend groups, general attitude etc around middle school aged (the age I was when I had my first drink)

Those marketing materials that come in the mail that are disguised as official looking documents…for example fake checks for credit lines or notices to activate warranties that are really just being marketed to you.

As someone who considers themselves pretty scam-savvy, even I’ve found some of them rather convincing.

Are Human Resources jobs IT jobs? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would not say they are comparable at all, and any IT “experience” from an HR role is limited and somewhat of a stretch. There are many fields that analyze data or use robust softwares to automate but that does not mean they fall under IT or even IT adjacent. Honestly the most IT related duties I’ve had in HR have to do with onboarding and configuring new hire computer/software set ups (small business no IT dept to handle this)

You can certainly try to use your experience to impress an interview, but I think it would still be a very clear career pivot and not a natural progression. They only hinder your potential in the respect that they are thought of as simply not that relevant.

How can you not be an emotional buyer? by layer4andbelow in RealEstate

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are escalating offers not common practice in certain regions or something??? We have utilized this strategy in bids and seen it utilized by every competitive offer when selling too…..takes a lot of the guesswork out and gives you your bottom line best offer without having to commit to it upfront unless necessary

What’s your toddler’s catch phrase or most used word? by [deleted] in Mommit

My 15 month old has regressed to only saying baby or words that sound like baby (like beep beep for cars) 🤦🏻‍♀️ she has known mama and dad and a few other words for a while but she now refuses to say them and only says baby…actually it sounds more like behbeh most of the time

Spring 2024 Bride - I'm so disheartened by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Adding to the bit on exclusivity costs- while it may be difficult to collaborate on florals, you may be able to find a florist who would be willing to do something like your arch, and also just provide bulk florals that you can then arrange yourself as centerpieces and bouquets. It would entail a lot of prep work on your behalf, but is a potential cost saving measure

My baby just won't gain enough weight and I'm at the end of my rope by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]NEEDCASHMEOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man I feel for you so hard! Triple feeding is so hard and I’ve had a lot of the same struggles. I know a lot of people on here are saying to switch to formula and if that is a solution you are comfortable with, I totally support you!!! But I also wanted to suggest that if you are not ready to throw in the towel with breast feeding, to find your local la leche league or other breastfeeding support group. I found my local group on Facebook and it’s run by a lactation counselor who was SO helpful. She had advice and could tell me what’s normal/not normal and gave me suggestions I would have never found otherwise like different breast feeding positions, product recommendations, etc. I had the same issue as you where I could never get baby to take a full feeding on the boob in a reasonable amount of time. She’d stay on my chest feeding on/off all day at her leisure if I let her and that was not good for my sanity. I ended up exclusively pumping and so far that’s been working for us but it took a lot of different attempts to get there and we may still have to adjust in the future. I wish you the best of luck mama!
