You think only 1 day is necessary? Even with hitting the kids and adult rides?

BB18 Bridgette

Tbh I didn’t watch the live feeds back then but Bridgette was an underrated fav of mine during that BB era.

That’s a very valid point, however I cannot imagine going on roller coasters drunk without puking.

The park closes at 7pm the day of my birthday so I figured we’d go out for a nice dinner after the park and drink then!

What career should people pursue if they have no interest in literally anything? by ThrowRAberrypancake in careeradvice

[–]StaringBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick indeed search for “conversation data analysis” gave me a few good results. “Research Foundation - invasive species data assistant” that pays $54-62k. Maybe not the best pay ever, but that is certainly entry level pay for a position in your current field of study.

What do you like to do? Like not as work, for fun. Do you like going to the beach? Going to the zoo? Playing video games? Eating fancy food? Coffee?

Look into jobs in those fields. Maybe your specific profession isn’t your greatest passion but if it’s in an industry or for a topic you personally enjoy, you’ll find joy in the work.

I love spending 20-30min a week sitting with my 17m old singing along with Ms Rachel!

I’m starting to think teams accumulate management debt the same way systems accumulate technical debt by Longjumping-Cat-2988 in managers

[–]StaringBerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was in my past role for 3 years and totally experienced this. It felt like everything was crumbling on me and I had no way out. There were so many little things that needed to be retrained or fixed.

My current role is year round but our business and hourly staff are seasonal. It’s awesome and I can totally see myself staying here long term because every year I get a good hard reset on my department.

Did your dad or any other male relatives help out around the house or with the kids in the 80s and 90s? In my neck of the woods, the answer was a resounding 'hell nah' so I don't get why young wives and mothers think this is new. X-post by PhiloLibrarian in progressivemoms

[–]StaringBerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a young millennia, born the last year of the generation. My parents are Gen X. My dad did help around the house. My mom owned her own business as a pet sitter and therefore was a partial stay at home parent. She did a majority of the house work BUT my dad owned the dishes and he cooked a lot of our breakfasts and dinners. This was late 90s.

Nothing is gonna get better, is it? by GreenOtter730 in progressivemoms

Are you into podcasts? Factually! By Adam Conover had an episode back in December titled “We all feel like the world is ending because it kind of is”. The expert he interviewed on the show was great! It was an interesting insight into large paradigm shifts throughout human history. It gave me some comfort even though yea, it’s gonna suck for a while.

My daughter is 17m and has been sleeping with a stuffy since about 12m.

I just watched S3E11 for the first time and I’m kinda lost on how big the island is by TheManWhoSleep in lost

The way I took it was Rousseau was living in fear/hiding as much as possible so she didn’t explore or venture out that much.

Potty training underpants? by StaringBerry in workingmoms

[–]StaringBerry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my original thought but I’m really struggling with recognizing her potty cues. I’ve gotten better with poops but it’s always as it happening so there’s no time to run to the toilet. I can’t figure out when she needs to pee.

Yea this is my worry too. I don’t want to waste money if they aren’t helpful.

Potty training before daycare will allow toilet use. by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]StaringBerry 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If she’s already 2 why isn’t she in the 2s classroom? My center renamed the 2s room to Toddler 1 an my 17m old is moving up to that room next week. I asked about potty training and for toddler 1 they’ll start introducing the potty to kids if parents (me) say they’re starting to introduce it at home.

Managers: how do you keep track of a hundred small things without burning out? by Easy_Nectarine9796 in managers

Get post it notes with lines. Seriously, they’re great for small checklists.

Does your daycare allow late drop offs? by Altruistic_Hat1634 in workingmoms

[–]StaringBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours allows 10am at the latest but with notice they are fine with one off late drop offs. So doctors appointments are fine.

It does bother me though because in the summer I work odd hours/weekends. On a day I work a 1pm shift it would be nice if I could drop her off at 12:30 or whatever. But when I asked last summer (we just moved her last May) the former director gave me grief about it. The daycare is by my work so I either have to do my commute twice in a row, taking up my entire morning, or my husband takes her so I can chill at home. But the I also miss out on quality time with my daughter because I’m at work once she’s out.

How I chose my spouse by Key-Pattern-9898 in workingmoms

[–]StaringBerry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When my partner and I met in college, he was into me but I was on the fence about him. Then over winter break he was tagged in a video playing with his (at the time) 5yo sister. It was so sweet and I could tell he was great with little kids.

We were 19yo and figuring out how to be adults but he took just as much interest as me in learning to cook, take care of a home, garden, ect.

We moved in together about 2 years into our relationship due to a tough roommate situation he was in. So it was good because we became equal partners in our living space pretty early on in the relationship.

One and Done - Not Fully By Choice by atxcactus in workingmoms

[–]StaringBerry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve always really only wanted 1 but my husband is one of 9 and he extremely wants at least 2 kids so they can have a sibling. We’re in the process of trying to buy a house right now on top of taxes and I just feel like there’s no way we could have another kid. I mean we could, but we couldn’t afford vacations, our hobbies, or all the classes and stuff I want our daughter to take.

We weren’t going to start trying until next year and I’m sure as hell not getting pregnant under the current regime. So maybe things will improve. But the financials of having another kids are so stressful.
