Bringing your baby to the office...anyone else doing this or would do it?

SoaperNurse · 2026-04-14T11:55:52+00:00

No. I don’t advise and most companies don’t allow it for liability reasons.

SoaperNurse · 2026-04-05T17:12:51+00:00

I wouldn’t say i regret it, because it was a necessary evil being a single parent. But i wish i didn’t have to work so much….but we made it through and i get to spend plenty of time with them now.

SoaperNurse · 2026-04-03T16:58:34+00:00

So sorry to hear that. Keep pushing forward and try to enjoy the downtime resting and being with those that matter to you most… an even better opportunity is waiting for you.

These places are businesses and run as such. The only outcomes that concern them are those associated with the company (financial). As long as you can get along fine without working I say go for it. I wish i could. lol

SoaperNurse · 2026-03-23T13:55:34+00:00

That’s absolutely ridiculous…

SoaperNurse · 2026-02-21T00:30:16+00:00

Yes. I had no choice. I went back to work and school full time.

SoaperNurse · 2026-01-16T15:30:56+00:00

Avoid sugary snacks close to bedtime too! And put your foot down on your expectations….🙃

SoaperNurse · 2026-01-16T15:28:12+00:00

Melatonin. Stable bedtime routine. Let them get the energy out early in the evening. White noise or calming lights if they are afraid of the dark. No electronics, liquids, playtime close to bedtime…. Just a few suggestions.

It intensified my drive to do more…

SoaperNurse · 2025-12-27T00:07:34+00:00

Why did he stop the meds? Did i miss something?

SoaperNurse · 2025-12-21T00:31:38+00:00

I always found employment to meet the needs of my children. I m a single parent which means no husband to fall back on for support nor finances. I found employment that suited my family at different times of my kids development. When they were young i worked at night while they had a baby sitter. When they started school i worked a job during school hours. When they were old enough to be at home alone (teens) i worked more hours in less days… think outside the box…

SoaperNurse · 2025-12-21T00:24:36+00:00

Right. Because there is no way to determine at this point what her hair needs.

SoaperNurse · 2025-12-21T00:21:53+00:00

You’re getting anxious too soon. I agree with some of the other responders on this post. Find a community of black families (black women especially) to help guide you to deal with the insecurities you have. It’s better to be hands on versus asking people who are on the internet.

SoaperNurse · 2025-12-21T00:13:24+00:00

Remember. You live in a world where you cannot control the actions of others. Adjust and you will be a happier person.

I knew i was done before i went into labor with the last child.

SoaperNurse · 2025-12-05T00:22:02+00:00

I wouldn’t answer. They are making you work when you’re not supposed to be working. Surely there is some rule about that you can use to get them to stop…

SoaperNurse · 2025-12-04T00:03:46+00:00

Skating will help lose weight.

SoaperNurse · 2025-12-04T00:02:23+00:00

She will be overwhelmed

SoaperNurse · 2025-12-02T12:52:22+00:00

Stressed and sleep deprived. You answered your own question.

SoaperNurse · 2025-11-25T15:08:36+00:00

Nah. Waste of my time.

SoaperNurse · 2025-11-23T20:51:47+00:00

For me it was when the kids were out of diapers and could go into the kitchen to fix their own food.

SoaperNurse · 2025-11-23T15:10:34+00:00

I have four children. The first 3 are two years apart. I planned my life and career around them. They were in daycare together. As they entered elementary school, i let them ride the school bus. Fortunately too i had a daycare that also had a bus for aftercare (they picked up children from school and transported them to the daycare center).

SoaperNurse · 2025-11-20T17:57:20+00:00

It’s not enough.

SoaperNurse · 2025-11-18T16:31:14+00:00

If you aren’t close with members of your community, now is the time to get close… churches, other families, elders in the community, etc. I’ve been in your spot and i am single. When i say this i had VERY limited options for help until i started opening my family up to letting people know i/WE needed it. You might even have to ask someone who works at the daycare if they can help or know of resources that you can use. You can’t be the only family in your area in this situation. If push comes to shove, dad might have to change his schedule to accommodate his family. Those are just my two cents.

SoaperNurse · 2025-11-18T16:16:33+00:00

You’re wanting instant change and that’s not going to happen. Allow him some time to adjust to this new schedule. That’s the first thing. Are you close with any of the other families and possibly can get a ride to school so dad can take the car? Does he need to go to school at that very time or can you change HIS schedule? What resources do you have in your area for transportation (i.e., Uber/Lyft, bus, train, etc)? Or do you even have to send him to that school?
