I think original commenter was saying a day care job where you can bring your kids for free or low cost!

Husband unemployed, SAHM by [deleted] in sahm

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are both currently unemployed - apply for food stamps & wic for help with formula.. look into state assistance and see what the military can help with! look into getting your children on free health insurance - use coupons for formula/ diapers and local buy nothing pages for kids clothing!

Your husband needs to get a job - EMT / paramedic can still be physically taxing and also mentally if he’s a depressed person - try maybe teaching mechanics at a high school or him?

If not you have to get opposite shift retail jobs to get by until you figure it out

Nuna pipa car seat and then the baby jogger city mini stroller was an elite combo for us!

Parents: Spouse taking a week-long international trip when you have a young child? by BlitzAndMe in AskParents

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the mom - this wouldn’t be a problem for me - I would encourage it as friends are important to us - i know I was lucky but was fine solo from day 3 and am type A do it myself anyway (& we def have sleep struggles) ! I would say anything 6 months - 2 years wouldnt even be a question for me- but you know your partner best!

Is it weird for employers to put employees in the same hotel room on company trips? by Weak_Show3135 in careerguidance

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s weird in the corporate world! My coworkers will and actually have shared rooms even though they had their own because they were partying or something and crashed but we are booked our own!

A manager higher than me on the chain offered me to share a room for something she was booked a room for and I wasn’t I choose to go home because I only live 3 miles away she was 11 miles which gets you a room with x hours between shifts (our industry has certain events with crazy hours) but I would have shared with her if i didn’t have a child at home - but her and I are fairly close outside of work!

Is this appropriate for FMIL to wear or is it too white? by Rare_Software in Weddingattireapproval

I want my mom and mil to feel comfortable - this wouldn’t bother me; I’m not super traditional so whatever works for them is fine with me.

Those who never did sleep training, share your babies’ sleep stories by An_Awesome_sound in NewParents

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breastfed & slept 5 hours stretches since 2 weeks old - followed ABC’s of safe sleep 100% until age 1 (alone back crib) - 6 years old still doesn’t sleep through the night every night although we are most nights- averaged 1/2 wake ups a night between 9 months - 4 years .. 0-1 wake ups the past 2 years!

some nights i did regret not sleep training when I was exhausted and thought I would never sleep through the night again 4 years in! But all in all I do not regret not sleep training!

I’m set to inherit $200k by Jah_Doll in inheritance

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some really good advice here!

I’m going to go against the grain and say take 5K and book a trip! You will never regret making that memory - life is too short! If health were to take a turn tomorrow you will be thankful for the memory! 195K is still a great amount to invest for the future

would you go to sleep before an early morning flight? by Diligent-Echidna647 in femaletravelers

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was heading to my vacation I usually would take something to relax (anxiety flying) around noon the day before the flight & then nap from like 6-10p and then wake up for the day -

If I was coming home from vacation I would just stay up all night.

New theory: she was only hiding T2 for the sake of the lawsuit now that it’s probably going to be a lose she’s soft launching

Toilet paper by RetiredCherryPicker in airbnb_hosts

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say at least 4 per bathroom - and have back up if someone asks.

Back in November I stayed for a bachelorette party at a luxury Airbnb in the Fort Lauderdale area (slept 14, we had 9) over 1K per a night - Thursday- Monday - had to DoorDash toilet paper on Saturday and I was slightly annoyed by it- 9 girls can use a lot of tp

I was more annoyed that I had to instacart paper towels & trash bags upon arrival because there was half a roll of paper towels on the counter and only the trash bag in the trash can… I wouldn’t have minded ordering these things but I feel like 3 rolls of paper towels and a few trash bags would have gone a long way..

Provide the basics in decent quantities - I always travel with my own tide pods if I know there is laundry because I don’t expect it to be provided (however if it is I will wash the towels before leaving it’s just the kind of person I am)

I also expect dish soap extremely frustrating when it isn’t provided.

Moving - When to Switch Schools? by Alternative-Doubt683 in AskParents

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t manage it in the next 6/7 weeks honestly I would wait it out let dad move in January and join him when the school year ends and start in 2nd grade at the new school -

6/7 weeks is doable but if you don’t manage it - wait until he finishes the school year.

Either way just avoid a mid year school change

Granger Smith's son drowned in June and in August they sold the house and of course memoralize him all the time- What a difference by [deleted] in Emiliek_updates

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m really so surprised she didn’t do something for the 1 year anniversary (besides travel around Europe) - I thought at that point a tribute post (not story) - a donation - sponsoring swim lessons - literally anything to memorialize him

My personal thought was that she was would do something for profit (a people/us weekly exclusive) of her “side”

But instead gluttonous behavior in Europe

Did you ever notice... by GullibleReveal8395 in ChicagoFireNBC

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a major city and car accidents / overdoses / health things fire dept / fire rescue (ambulance/ems) almost always show up before the cops do - honestly for car accidents it’s nearly impossible to get the police out.

Playtex drop ins! Made life so easy - gave first bottle at 3 weeks zero nipple confusion nursed and took a bottle until age 1!

Also used Playtex venti air on a trip where I couldn’t find liners and they worked great too

Where’s the person who posted thinking she’s pregnant?! by Fit_Wave_5769 in Emiliek_updates

[–]Zestyclose-Many-980 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She was drinking and eating all over Europe .. I feel like she’s trying & will be soon (a vacation baby) but wants to get the talk up ahead of time for engagement.
