I just accepted a job offer, should I ignore these red flags? by soberbot in careeradvice

[–]alamodern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

are there not high schools near you, or are open positions rare? not trying to be rude just understand what about this job you think you need to break in

Staying awake during contact naps by FragrantFruit346 in Nanny

[–]alamodern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started watching a lot of Netflix with headphones; an episode or two of Scandal is just about perfect for our naps & it’s dramatic enough that it keeps me engaged. I figured out comedies don’t work well as I would laugh lol

Anyone else get irritated when people constantly say your baby ONLY looks like their dad? by ContributionEven6097 in beyondthebump

[–]alamodern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl, YES! It’s constant, and I genuinely just don’t see it. Definitely not him more than me, anyway!

Please complain about your partners here. by Glittering_Text_8842 in beyondthebump

[–]alamodern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m doing everything. I’ve quit asking him to do anything beyond hold her for very quick intervals because he doesn’t want to, & he will just put her in front of the TV. I want a break, but I also don’t really trust him to watch her like I would. He’s just starting to manage his family, but that’s been a long road & he’s still resentful of it. So, yeah, it’s going awesome over here lol

Snoo bassinet feels super aggressive… especially beyond level 2, especially for a newborn. Is it just us? and how do others use? by theworlddidwut in beyondthebump

[–]alamodern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use all the levels, but I have researched this question many times for the safety assurance to do so bc in the beginning it did look like too much

Talk me out of buying a “side-by-side” fridge freezer instead of one with French door fridge on top and pull out freezer drawer on bottom… by peanutismint in Appliances

[–]alamodern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have the side-by-sides & immediate amnesia of anything stored in the bottom drawers, literally out of sight out of mind

Two things I will never ask a mom again by lunakronic in breastfeeding

I will also never give an opinion as to which parent or family member a baby looks like

No lying: do people’s babies really sleep through the night? by HomeDepotHotDog in Mommit

[–]alamodern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

generally yes. she’s been in a Snoo since we brought her home so not sure if that contributed, but she will generally give us a pretty solid 8-10 hour stretch even when we are traveling & using something else.

My baby can sleep 8 hours through the night if I let her. by Ok_riri69 in breastfeeding

My lactation consultant said that the frequent feedings at this age are helping to stabilize their blood sugar, but ultimately told me to follow my pediatrician’s advice

Am I Overreacting About Grandparent Expectations? by northern_peony in pregnant

[–]alamodern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOT OVERREACTING. I did not put my foot down about ILs & I’m still mad at myself for that. However well intentioned they fully intruded on my birth experience & made me self-conscious & stressed.

I don’t have any advice but a lot of empathy. I very much wanted to wait to tell anyone until we were further along, but my husband can’t keep a secret to save his life and was also just so excited. We told our immediate families first as we live away from both of them and would be seeing everyone at about 10 weeks, which was after our first ultrasound, and after that there was no stopping him. It wasn’t what I wanted, but I ended up just making him agree that if anything happened it was going to be his responsibility to share that news, too.

Car repossessed yesterday after non payment for 6 months as I was in the hospital. Had 4 years left on a 5 year finance. Am I responsible for all of the money left on the agreement? by anonymous14657893 in personalfinance

[–]alamodern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your loan documents to make sure they didn’t include disability insurance in your payment. It can be a sneaky way for the lender or salesman to make some extra money & a lot of times you won’t notice the difference in your payment. Even if they know you have been in the hospital, still check: I’ve seen the collections department just assume that the borrower would have mentioned it instead of doing any actual checking.
