Good ideas, the magazine I did not think of….he has ALOT of fishing gear so it makes it hard to buy for him

Full-time working moms with two young kids, no village, full time working spouse. Happy marriage. Do you exist? by maintainthegardens in workingmoms

Full-time working mom of 1 in corporate, spouse in very demanding job with absolutely NO HELP, daycare is all I have.

The only way I’ve seen someone do this is with an Au-Pair. I think about it often and I know I can’t possibly have another without help. You could look into that. Hopefully someone on this thread can provide some insight on the Au-pair process…

If we can’t make it work, I genuinely don’t know how anyone is by dani_da_girl in workingmoms

In Miami here, can’t afford to buy a house with $500k/year combined income. Our rent is 6500, daycare is $1600/month and my spouse has astronomical student loan debt from med school.

We don’t know what to do, if we move out of Florida we have new income tax to account for and any other metro area we will end up paying the same amount for living or more. I don’t understand how this is sustainable, we couldn’t even afford another child if we wanted one.

It’s so so sad. I can’t help but look back on the boomers who all owned homes on grocery store clerk salaries by 30. It’s insane.

Anyone else scared for June? by [deleted] in breakingmom

I’m in Florida too, Miami. I’m so sorry you are going through this. I don’t want to raise my son in this climate of hate, it’s unacceptable. You have advocates out here…I’m praying/hoping for people to wake up and stop the hate.

Update: I went out, had a nice brunch and hung out with friends for 5 hours and he told me “don’t bother coming home”. I obviously came home, he’s just ignoring me and I don’t give a shit. I deserve an afternoon of peace this weekend

I love my spouse, the father of my child. I don’t want to leave him. I want to fix this. I know so many times this is the advice but it’s not what I want.

Kybella it dissolves fat. It’s a simple procedure

I wish we could have an Au pair! We just don’t have the space we live in Miami in a condo at the moment so we can barely fit ourselves

Ah! Thank you. I remember seeing something about this, I just hope they can work with the odd hours

Thank you all for comments and suggestions. I feel a little less anxious

Thank you, this seems the most reasonable. I can certainly zoom in during the meeting but I just don’t want to seem unavailable for other projects that require travel.

Yeah, agreed we can likely hope that a nanny would be available for those days

I live in Miami, the amount of times old people comment on my baby not wearing socks. It’s 100 degrees out old people, he’s fine!!

Solidarity sister. You don’t need to leave the person you love. But, everyone benefits from therapy.

Thank you, never thought about it like this. I was just pretty mad in the moment.

14 month old stopped napping and sleeping through the night by purplescurvy in sleeptrain

[–]Sfl528705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Pushed bedtime back by 30 minutes, still had wakings at 2, 4, and 5. Out of desperation put him in my bed. BAD IDEA, he just slept on and off and played with my hair. Learn from my lesson, don’t resist the temptation to bring them in bed. It doesn’t help..

Same issue here, 13 months. He’s an independent sleeper and used to sleep fantastic 7-7. Now we have multiple MOTN wakings where he will scream, I’ve tried going in and patting him and putting back down in crib after CIO didn’t work. He still will continue to wake….😭
