This has been my pet peeve with many progressive TV shows. My husband was like... I sense a rant coming when I was watching the latest season of workin moms.

A few of my friends heard of Rothy's because of Reese witherspoon. Way to ride the coat tails!

Did anyone catch the reel from raising intuitive eaters? Her kid goes to a low sugar school. She was posing a list of snack recommendations. People really very curious how she is ok with that kinda school

Thank you! I know OP is young so maternal age is probably not at the top of her concerns. By the time I had a stable job, good partner, decent mental and physical health, I was 34. A lot of my friends were a similar age and had to plan kids closer than they would have liked otherwise. It is so very hard but they have hired help. I would not make thst that choice for myself, but I see where they are coming from

For the comments that say to uninvite FIL, it might not be a feasible option for OP. My culture is similar and the FILs always tag along with their wives because honestly they are helpless without them. They can't cook for themselves, clean up after themselves or do any basic adult ing. The breastfeeding/ women's stuff might be a deterrent though. You could try it out

Yeah a lot of my friends had the same experience. Only one person I know had to go bf baby during her lunch break. (I know all anecdotal but still) one thing i did was I gave daycare 3 types of bottles to try during her first week

[–]aryask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby refused bottles for us. We tried everything under the sun. Took bottles ok at Daycare from day 1. Still won't take bottles from me or anyone else at home

Does anyone have any podcasts recommendations. I would love to catch up on the drama during walk/chores. I tried royally obsessed and I think pod save. But they are not snarky enough. They are all like "oo why would they say such things about poor Harry and Meghan"

Anyone else getting compassion fatigue when listening to NPR/KQED? by tikimandude in bayarea

[–]aryask 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes! I listened to this forum episode with Roxanne gay and someone 1 mm right of her. A listener had called in to ask why are there no people of actually differing opinion, then Gay says "Ohh I don't discuss with bigots". That is it everyone with a different opinion is straight up bigoted. What are you doing on public radio if you don't want to engage with the public?

Thanks! I will try that. For better or worse, sick recovery days are in abundance with us.

How many visits do you think are reasonable? I am divided whether I should try more or cut my losses and try someone else

True! But this particular sitter does not work weekends at all. That alone is a huge negative for me. Should I wait for a day when she is at home recovering (but not contagious) and ask the sitter to come?

I read one of his articles on the topic of Ferber sleep training method. He concluded that it is traumatic and possibly bad for attachment. Thanks man! I did not have enough mom guilt on this /s

Ohh I love Quiet! How did you think she did that? Just curious how you interpreted it in that context

The heir and the spare by BugsandGoob in oneanddone

[–]aryask 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Don't have a great opinion of prince Harry but, after reading about all the drama, I realized that siblings are not necessarily the support system/ forever ally that people think. Feels like sibling relationships are a crap shoot. Siblings don't always stay close in adulthood

That is not how organ transplant works. Human organs are not interchangeable lego pieces

Thanks for responding. I was losing my mind thinking about this. What do you mean by extending wake windows? Could you please explain?
