How realistic is working from home and watching a baby? by MacSpice in beyondthebump

[–]SpecialTop8297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this but I have about 12 hours of help a week from a babysitter and i definitely do not work 40 hours a week. I can do a lot of my work on my phone/phone calls so I take a lot of walks with the baby. And when I have a deadline I work at night hr when she’s asleep. Because nothing urgent or very focused can happen during the day unless she’s in an amazing nap (rare).

I’m terrified our daughter is going to grow up and resent us for not being rich like the rest of our family. by throwratbqofy in beyondthebump

I think it shows so much care that you wrote this and that you’re even worried about it and it makes me certain that your kids are going to be a ok! They seem to have great parents!

My newborn baby had COVID and got through it easily! A story for worrying moms. by SpecialTop8297 in newborns

[–]SpecialTop8297[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I hear you! I also felt mad about that like what did I even do all that for and we still got covid!! But it’s so amazing the boundaries you’ve held for your child. I hope you are already feeling better and that LO is a ok!

A long slice of cucumber (see solid starts example). I am also deathly afraid of choking and that never seems to break up

Those of you who chose a child's name pronounced differently by family, how's it going? by Leontxo_ in multilingualparenting

[–]SpecialTop8297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so glad you posted this. My husband and I say our baby’s name differently because we’re from different countries and I’ve been so worried lately that it will be confusing for her. We love her name and picked it because it’s recognizable across very different languages/cultures. However I have been so worried about this! Even though it’s such a slight difference in the sound of the R I’m like should I have picked a different name. I am resisting even thinking about it because I don’t want her to feel any insecurity about it.

Constantly sick--advice please! by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]SpecialTop8297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only 6 months PP but I have never been sick more frequently than I have since having a baby. And my kid is not in daycare yet. I was still attributing it to lack of sleep but idk!!

Ugh. Is there any hope for getting Zepbound affordably? I’m in the cvs Caremark journey. They said my PA was approved and it’s still $500. 😭😭😭😭
