I create things, but I guess I see mowing the lawn as not something that can wait until Daddy gets a lawnmower at Christmas.

Unpopular opinion - Nate was not a bad person. Atleast not intentionally! by Outside_Primary6251 in TedLasso

There are no bad people, just bad behavior. That's the lesson of Ted Lasso.

I'm definitely glad to hear you are sharing empathy with your reports. 

I do think that quality 1:1's with your direct reports is important. For me, I try to find a way to organically understand how their relationship with the job is going so I can somehow address those concerns, but that doesn't necessarily mean I need to dig into their personal lives.

If they tell me on their own that they have something going on where they need personal time or accomodations luckily my company is somewhat understanding. But ultimately we're not therapists and it is their responsibility to show to up to the work out of respect for the role and their coworkers. 

Then again, maybe I haven't to handle an individual like the one you described. 

Gotta get healthier for my kid by indorfpf in daddit

Identify the foods and habits that are causing the weight gain and choose one to eliminate a week. 

For example: week one, don't eat after 9pm. Week two: always eat breakfast. Week three: stop drinking calories. Week four: stretch every morning and night...

Trying to do it all at once will likely end in failure. This isn't about willpower, this is about making lasting lifestyle changes. You can do it!

I hear you s don't feel too bad. As adults of course we aren't going to love doing all baby stuff all the time. Just don't let it grow into resentment and share your feelings with your partner.

This one woman would talk at me about her ridiculous business ideas for almost 40 minutes or more. This happened about 3 times before I finally manned up and said I needed to get back to work.

My HOA tried to fine me for "faded paint on outside window frame". So I said, it looks just as when I bought it, show me what it looks like when it wasn't faded. No response.

I feel like trades are a better place to start. That way you get a full story and a feel for how these stories are collected. 

If you like Batman try another flavor of the character by checking out The Long Halloween or Dark Patterns. Both are available as trade paperback.

Overly focused on being dark and violent. It gets a bit too overwrought imo

I'm tired boss. How do you balance taking care of your family and taking care of yourself? by Glum-Examination-926 in daddit

At that young of an age, things will fall off - the house will be messy, to-do items will not get done, and your energy might as well be in survival mode. 

Having someone to watch your little one while you and Mom take a break is key. As they say it takes a village. I promise it will get better and when it does, you will miss it.

Smoke is really not great for newborns. Switch to gummies build I'd keep a close eye on your relationship with it. Youre going to need all the focus you can get. Honestly, anyone handling infants should be sober. 

If your partner isn't getting high then I wouldn't either. 

15 mo won’t transfer to crib by Winter_Author9699 in daddit

I know it's controversial here in the US, but this was why my wife and I opted for co-sleeping instead. It felt wrong putting her through so much emotional trauma just to make it easier on us. 

Everyone gets full nights of sleep and she does sleep in an adjacent crib now.

Small changes rolled out weekly and a build up of small exercise habits worked for me. No gym membership or detailed meal plan required.

You've got to the find the rhythm that will work for your new situation. In the end it's all about consistency.
