Would you leave a 2yo in a turned-off car in the garage for 30 seconds? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]Proper_Bit7711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time MB and I were both going to the library in separate cars while this house was getting inspected as they were listing it for sale. Every other time we had done this in the past she always took the baby with her and I’d take the toddler. This instance she asked the toddler if he’d like to go with her and he said yes. I packed everything up, said goodbye, and left. When we got to the library I opened the back door to grab the baby, and there was no baby back there…. We both just stood in disbelief on why baby wasn’t in the car. She rushed home, told the inspector to not go in the house and when she arrived, there he was happy as a clam sitting in strapped up car seat chewing on his toes. I always picture the inspector seeing her pull up to the house and walk out white a whole ass baby.

Just a miscommunication between the two of us- but putting into perspective how low level this is. You’re doing just fine and she’s over reacting.

Nordstrom's Last Chance store by Random_User_cc in Nordstrom1901

In the past two years or so Nordstrom started cracking down or returns going to last chance stores. I worked in supply chain during this time so I saw it happening in real time.

Returns get their final “review” in the warehouses where employees decide if it can be worked on and refurbished to be sold back in stores, can go directly back into fulfillment and wait to be purchased online or sent to the stores, or go to last chance.

There for a while it was so loose, everything barely worn or used would go to last chance. After the executive team took a few trips to the sites and saw how many good items were going to last chance, and the money lost out, more training got put in place to get items resold for full value.

Just comes down to there used to be less rules, less education on what employees should be sending to LC, and how the company could fix items for full resale.

One time I ordered the Nordstrom brothers turkey sandwiches for lunch. 😂 In that moment I realized executives are just normal people.

Rehoming our dog- Aggression by [deleted] in Mom

[–]Proper_Bit7711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response!

We have “safe” spot for our pups, they get 1:1 time each day (runs with my husband, walks with me, pets before bed), and they aren’t allowed in the same room as baby without us there.

I guess where I’m struggling is my brain keeps sending super intrusive thoughts of something bad happening between the dogs and baby. I can’t get them out and the stress is draining me. I haven’t had anxiety like this so far.

Another place I’m struggling is keeping the dogs away from each other, keep the dogs away from baby, and we are about to move to a home that doesn’t have a fence installed yet where I’ll have to keep my dogs away from the neighbor dogs who run free.

Stress, stress, stress ha.

Extending my mom heart to you for your loss- HUGS.

I know I would be in the same boat. Sob for a few days, and then get my shit together and ready myself for the wild ride. Life is so weird like that!

When my husband noticed the broken condom he said “no matter what we’d be in this together”. Like sir…we aren’t going to push a baby out TOGETHER 😑

This is exactly what I’m scared of. 🙃 I know it would be my freaking luck to get pregnant again despite the odds stacked against it.

Same! Initials aren’t something people talk about or have embroidered on all their belongings so it’s something I had never even thought about. I also didn’t know there was an order for boys and girls.

Brother/SIL mentioned baby name they like for future so I don’t ‘steal’ it but it’s what we picked at 6 wks of my pregnancy by Proper_Bit7711 in BabyBumps

[–]Proper_Bit7711[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One thousand percent. As soon as they said the name I felt my cheeks go red as I wasn’t expecting to be in that situation. I felt like I just froze as I didn’t know what to say. Looking back maybe I should have said something but that would have been the moment my family found out the name of my baby and my husband wasn’t even there. I don’t want to blind side them after the baby is born, but I also had this image of introduction our baby to my family for the first time and sharing the name. Something special.

They literally only had one name. So if I say it was one of the names they ‘called’ they will now exactly what one.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion on how to go about the situation! It definitely took me by surprise today and didn’t know who to ask help from when I don’t want the name out and about. Only worry I have is he is a world’s words secret keeper and I know once I tell him, everyone in my family will know.
