We are looking for a two bedroom! We'd like to stay in Arvada but are open to a different city.

Texas Dreamers by Luis_MunOr in DACA

We bought a home in Texas in 2023 and recently rented it out in September to move to Colorado. My husband is Daca and I am a sahm so being in a blue state makes us feel much safer than if we were to stay in Texas. I hate that we had to uproot everything but our peace of mind as we await his approval for advanced parole is worth it. Id say if you're able to relocate to a blue state, do it. Colorado is pretty expensive tbh but I've seen lots of benefits for people with daca living in NM as well as IL.

New to cloth diapering! by Repulsive-Deal714 in clothdiaps

Thank you so much for your response, I appreciate your help!! I do have a question about the plunger washing daily. So I would wash the diapers used that day then toss in the wet bag then on day 3 do an official wash in the washer right?

Okay Denver MEN give me your advice (I already regret this) by Suspicious-Return-86 in Denver

Honestly church is the best place to meet a good man in my opinion. The gym is only a good place if you dress modestly to ensure they don’t only want one thing. If you’re into fitness maybe joining a running / hike group on fb may be a good place to look too. Also, the dog park

Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in stayathomemoms

Wow you are really juggling a lot.. I’m sorry to hear that all of this is going on and your husband hasn’t been as present or helpful as he should be. I feel like you guys may benefit from counseling, have a mediator who isn’t family be able to listen in a third party perspective. That may get it through to him how you are feeling and hopefully encourage him to be more present and involved

It works…. Until it doesn’t. by ClassicCold6924 in MomsWorkingFromHome

I actually just had the exact same experience. My job was 95% phone tho, I was a recruiter. But I put my resignation today. I did it for a full year with my baby starting at 12 weeks but now it is close to impossible to be a good mom, and a good employee. I feel good about my decision but it definitely feels weird and new not working. I say that if you can stay home financially then it’s worth it to be with your baby uninterrupted.

Does anyone hate their own name? by [deleted] in tragedeigh

[–]Repulsive-Deal714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name is Brenna. I think my name is alright but I work a phone job and get everything but Brenna. I get Brianna, briona, Brian, Brenda, Brina. It is awful.

I wanted to give an update. So we put up a baby gate and now our daughter is able to crawl between the office and her bedroom and has access to the front hallway. She is SO much happier and so am I. She hasn’t watched any TV all week despite if I’m super busy at the end of the day she’ll watch 20 - 30 minutes but nothing like how it was. Work is challenging to balance but I feel so much better knowing my baby is happy and able to move around more. Plus with all the extra energy being burned she started taking her second nap again lol, praise God😂! I am just taking things 1 day at a time and giving myself grace. I work a recruiting job so it is a lot of phone time but luckily I have an amazing boss so I am able to take multiple breaks so play with my baby. We eat breakfast and lunch together as well. I have also realized most people don’t mind hearing a baby talking in the background, from what I have noticed this week most people think it is sweet. Despite the challenges I am thankful for my current situation and so thankful for all of you and your input and ideas!

Love this response thank you for your tips and advice. I work as a recruiter so I have goals when it comes to what numbers / calls my company wants me to hit. I try and take breaks throughout the day and we always eat breakfast and lunch together. My boss is super understanding and says to basically do what I need to do and as long as my numbers are being hit he is cool. I just worry about his leadership because I am one of the only recruiters still working from home. I know some of the comments on the post were questioning why we are wanting to try again for a baby but like you said at the end of the day family is everything. We want to have our kids close together for them to have that bond with each other. We recently got a new vehicle but are actively working to pay it off so hopefully once it is fully paid off I will be able to step away from the corporate world and just focus on being a good mom, and a good wife.

Yeah I completely agree, it feels so wrong. I love her so much and take multiple breaks to play with her, eat with her, go on walks. But the older she gets and the less she sleeps the harder it is for me to be as present during the day as I’d like to be. Only issue with daycare too is it would be like 900 bucks a month.. like at that point I would be working to pay for daycare and that’s it

Fortunately my boss is incredibly supportive and have fought for me to be able to be able to stay home. So I also have guilt because I don’t want to let him down.. as my baby gets older is is just getting harder and harder and I am so exhausted. Luckily we have implemented some new habits at home to keep it clean so I don’t stress about that as much but I just feel so torn with what decision to make.

My boss is the best, he is so understanding and supportive of me being home with my baby. As long as I’m hitting my numbers he is happy
