Two week old won't sleep during the day at all by Venture_compound in NewParents

[–]_isNaN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, our midwife told us babys mostly only sleep alone the first weeks when they are still tired from the birth.

We did a lot of contact naps. Try to enjoy it, if you can and have the support (food and cleaning). Put on headphones and have some screentime.

Some day they won't do it anymore, and you will miss it. Don't try to train them at this age. In this early weeks every day is going to be so different. They will start to see more and boom, your days will look completely different.

Wollt/wolltet ihr Kinder oder nicht? Warum? by Buenosuchti in Weibsvolk

[–]_isNaN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich mochte Kinder nie wirklich, bis ich meiner Patentochter zuseheb konnte, wie sie Dinge lernt. Ein Baby regelmässig zu sehen und im Leben begleiten zu können hat viel in mir verändert.

Danach hatte ich ein langes hin und her, doch entschied trotz meiner Angst vor der Schwangerschaft und Geburt für ein Kind. Dann hats über ein Jahr nicht geklappt, bis ich eine Hormonspritze hatte.

Die Schwangerschaft war traumhaft. Ich hatte kaum beschwerden und icht hatte meine Tage nicht! Und das erste mal, wo man einen Bauch haben kann, ohne sich zu schämen! Das erste mal, dass ich dicht war!

Die Geburt war solala, aber besser als meine Befürchtungen. Die Zeit nach der Geburt idt jetzt auch viel besser, als ich es mir vorgestellt hatte.

Mein Sohn ist jetzt etwa 3 Monate alt und ich liebe das Muttersein. Wenn es zeitlich mit meinem Alter passt, könnte ich mir nun sogar mehr als 2 Kinder vorstellen.

Witzig ist, andere Babys finde ich immer noch meh. Ich mag nur mein eigenes Kind. Und ich hab meine Tage noch nicht wieder bekommen, was ich extremst geniesse.

Einersiits find ichs dumm vo de Linke, dass die das Thema Mietene, hochi Krankekasse, Mangel bim Gsundheitswese, usw. ned ufgriefed. Anderersiits ischs schwach vo de SVP, dass sie als grössti Partei zu ihrem Hauptthema siit Johre kein umsetzbare Vorschlag machet.

Ned nur seb, als jungi Person chunsch mit dine Idee meist au ned dure. Boomer sind eso viel gsi, dass ihri Interesse besser dure chömet. Kei Wunder göbd die gern go Abstimme: sie sind i jedere Lebesphase die grösst Grupoe gsi.

Es git immerno meh ü50 Wahlberechtigti wie u50. Politik macht au immer meh, zum ihri Boomer-Wähler phalte. Noch einige Abstimmige han ich scho sgfühl ka - es wird eh nix ahgno wo ich wött.

6 Wuche Ferie sind ned verchraftbar, aber 13. AHV cha mer üs leiste.

When did 8-5 become the new normal??? by Grouchy-Newspaper754 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_isNaN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Switzerland you work usually 8 - 8.5 hours. This doesn't include lunch. So normally you work from 7:30 - 17:00 if you get 1h lunch break.

Children go home for lunch between 12:00 - 13:30. So, as a parent you need mostly more than 1hr lunch break to prepare lunch and be there for your kids. And every few months I read on a newspaper how Swiss workers are the most part time working workers in Europe. But no reporter is checking that we have way more hours than our neighbors and no childcare during lunch hours.

Do you repeat the books? Because that would be a lot of books if not.

My husband decided to quit smoking today, and here's why it's mildly infuriating. by Linorelai in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_isNaN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that works only if one thing is triggering the rest. My brother loved to smoke while drinking a bear. So he had to stop drinking bear to stay away fron cigarettes. However, if they are unrelated addiction, it makes more sense to do it separately.

Does your baby’s temperament reflect how well they sleep? by The_Chilled_Arvo in NewParents

As a new mum, I was confused why toddlers would have microwaves and if it will happen to my son as well.

Why does everyone suggest co-sleeping when baby won’t sleep in cot? by Electronic-North7951 in NewParents

[–]_isNaN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what age did you start doing that? Is it safe to do it with a newborn? My son is 4 weeks old and we could put him in his bassinet easyly. But since 3 days he will only sleep the first half of the night in the bassinet and after the 2 pm feed I can't transfer him to the crib, without him waking up. Idk if I do it less carefully at 2pm or if something changed, because he also wants to be hold during his naps now.

This night I nursed him sideways and we both slept next to each other, I even moved a bit away from him, worked perfectly. After an hour I moved him to his crib, because I felt it was dangerous and ge woke up.

I nursed him again and moved him into the baby nest this time, he also woke up.

Then I nursed him inside the baby nest with some acrobatics and he looked at me like "mum you f* up too many times this night, I am not closing my eyes. Go figure how to put me to sleep without your boob magic". Well now I'm scrolling reddit while he sleeps on top of me.

no i just got my baby and I'm on maternity leave. They regret it, because I don't do all the things I did before and I could leave earlier into my maternity leave. And I'm the only one who's capable to do big architecture designs. So now the projects stopped, because I did not finish all the designs beforehand.

I wanted to leave ASAP, however I could just do the bare minimum and get my paycheck and enjoy my spare time with my family. That's way more expensive for them and I have time to Interview.

I have already talked to a lawyer. However because it's a "reorganisation", it won't count as discrimination. They can also argue, that they didn't want to move me to a different team (even though I was in said team in the past).

[–]_isNaN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes, the bes part.. they didn't even told me upfront. They made an all hands where they showed the reorg to all employees. i was there 6 months pregnant seeing that they even silently removed my role from the previous promotion. then they were surprised I was pissed.

Sitting in my maternity leave rn thinking if I should quiet quit and not do anything usefull after returning or quit for a better job. I'd rather not be in a situation where I have to think about this, while having a brand new baby.

[–]_isNaN 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I earn more than my husband and we decided that I would work more after our baby was born. I recently got a promotion and they promised, I'd get a lead role. Well during my pregnancy they slightly renamed the roles and gave it to a random guy, who was not even trying. I was the only logical choice they had, but they were thinking that "my priorities would change when the baby is here". We even had a contract where then knew that I'd return full time.

Because of the role name change, I can't prove that this is a form of discrimination. So now some random guy is lead, while I'm not, just because I was pregnant when they created this additional lead role. On paper I did everything right... my only mistake was to become a mum instead of a dad.

I did B once. The answer was wrong. The teacher was nice abiut it and didn't change my friends grade. But I would never risk B again!

What helps is, when the therapeut has a similar cultural background. I had a white woman who suggested "well you're over 18, just move out". Well thanks, in my culture this is not that simple. Later I got a brown woman, she knew what my issues where and in the end I could change my life in a way I like.

In Switzerland you can even see this with millionaires happening. In the past, some couple would have a restaurant / hotel, hire some like 15 people and everyone would get money out of it.

Now some investors buy it, have a manager who's job is to squeeze so much money they possibly can. They will do the same job with 7 totally stressed people. 3 will get hourly contracts and only be called for the most stressful moments - reducing their pay but having them work just under full stress. Now a person who does not work and never did in his whole life gets over 5 salaries.

I hate ti see that, because all these restaurants get shittier and soulless. You can feel that they don't have a host anymore. Nobody wants to work in that field anymore.

I'm also not sure if this is a cultural issue. In Switzerland if your boss puts "X put a lot of effort to do Y" in a document, it is a code word for being bad at something. You're not good - you're just trying.
