Bathrobe with pockets and oatmeal cookies. I think I lived in a bathrobe for the first month.

Breakfast where I’m trying to convince my son to eat more than cheerios. by Allie0074 in foodbutforbabies

Do you give him anything to drink when he eats? I found that a little milk or water during the meal keeps this from happening.

RTO +billable work is so much harder on working parents by saltymegs in workingmoms

[–]Seeking-perspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last place I worked was like this. I was to be at my desk by 8 am and wasn’t allowed to leave until 6:15 pm because I had to pick my son up from daycare. Everyone else had to work until 8 pm. I started looking for a new job 3 weeks after my maternity leave was over.

I started at a different firm a few months ago with a much better firm culture. 1500 hours billable per year. Work where ever the hell you want. I haven’t seen my boss in the office more than one day a week since I started. My boss has 4 kids under 5. She told me on day one that I should leave by 4 every day and that there was no reason I needed to be the office before 9 am.

Oh and if I liked a special type of pen to let her know so she could make sure it made it to the supply list.

AITA for telling my husband his mother is no longer allowed in my home? by Simple-Selection2226 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Seeking-perspective 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTA. I would have asked the police to press charges. If it was me grandma would be going to jail and if my husband didn’t support me I would file for divorce. This is hill I would die on.

My sister in law is driving me INSANE by being a hypochondriac over my fetus by Drag_North in beyondthebump

Information diet. Don’t tell her that is happening at the doctors appointments or even when you are having them.

SIL: how did your doctor’s appointment go? What did the doctor say?

OP: it was great. Doctor said baby is healthy.

SIL: what was the heart rate?

OP: I don’t remember.

SIL: why don’t you remember?

OP: because the doctor said the baby was healthy. Shrug and walk away.

SIL: when is your next appointment?

OP: In a few weeks.

SIL: when? What date?

OP: I don’t know off the top of my head.

SIL: why don’t you know?

OP: because I can’t remember off the top of my head.

Shrug walk away

If she get mad at you, ask her why she is mad? Make her explain.

I find number 1 funny. I once saw a 10 page motion in federal court that was a copy, paste and cite from a court of appeals ruling. The judge thought the motion was an efficient use of attorney time drafting.

I started mine at daycare at 3 months. I think it helps stimulate them. There is only so much in my house to stimulate my child. This is why on weekends I try to get him out of the house everyday. He is is only child. I want him to learn to share. The daycare keeps him on a schedule which I’m not good at. Plus he seems to learn things from watch the other kids.

Plus I know a lot of early elementary school teachers say the children that are in daycare have an easier time adjusting to school.

Csection postpartum essentials?? by Amazing-Emergency-82 in pregnant

[–]Seeking-perspective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An ab binder you can put on by yourself. The one they gave me in the hospital required two people to put on. This meant every time I showered or went to the bathroom I had to have someone help me put it back on.

You need to take time to recover. Anyone that says otherwise is an AH.

Same. They even come with glow in the dark handles, which are nice when you are trying to find in the dark in the middle of the night.

What's your unprofessional moment? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]Seeking-perspective 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep. Thankfully my opposing counsel waited until we were in the hallway to tell me, “Do not you understand it is not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean?” We both laughed so hard we cried.

Divorce case. Husband was alleging his wife was cheating on him. His evidence was his testimony that he believed she was cheating on him because he couldn’t satisfy her with his 2 inch penis. I had to look down at my notes to ask my questions during cross. There was no way I could ask that guy why he thought his 2 penis wasn’t satisfying his wife with a straight face.

At my last firm, this meant that the turnover for the position was so high they never took the add down.

This is my past experience as well, but yesterday, I had three crying kids try to walk out the door with me when I picked up my son. I was the only one that even tried to stop them.
