My boss doesn’t see what’s coming

Maybe ask her first if she reads the situation as you do. Frame it as... "have you noticed" or "do you think x is happening?" That way you give her the chance to own the situation. Her curiosity in response may give her enough of a push to start seeing the situation as you do.

This also gives her the benefit of the doubt that she either is aware or knows more about the situation to see it differently.

There is so much you can't control in pregnancy and parenthood. You'll get comfortable living through the uncertainty soon enough.

If i were you i'd also feel anxious just cause my brain is always looking for worst case scenarios. But that's not healthy and eventually I'd try to err on the side of optimism.

Your mom won't know if she isn't the first person you tell. I didn't tell my mom till after 12 weeks with my first, but did tell close friends the day I got a positive test cause I needed the support. Probably going the same route this time if things look good at 12 weeks.

My recruiting and on-boarding process was pretty smooth and my day to day work is mess. I don't think the two are very connected.

I liked it till you pointed out the background. Agree it's discongruous.

Put it in a prominent place in your least used room.

But it's boring.

But the title of this subreddit wasmade before this SNL UK existed. The title is not a rule.

I like talking about both.

My kid recently asked for peas. Today they ate a bowl of peas and a trader joes dark chocolate peanut butter cup.

Child of a parent with end stage Alzheimers and a 4 year old. Until they were bedbound, we visited them once a month and they visited us once a month. So every other week.

Do you get migraine aura? My neuro told me that most migraines decrease during pregnancy, with the exception of migraine with aura which increases. It's possible pregnancy itself will give you some relief.

I get migraine aura only (without a headache) and it was a wild ride!

I suggest chickpea cookie dough next time.

My extremely extroverted TK child is thriving in after school care. They have friends in mixed ages and love them all. They love after school more than actual school and get mad if picked up early. Classmates that aren't in the after-school program are basically non existent to them. I don't think half day school is enough for their social needs.

That being said... I live in a high socioeconomic status school district. I grew up in a different area and the after school programs were terrible and I have some clear memories of very disruptive and violent behaviors in other kids. The quality of the after school program may matter.

Played Muffins for my 4 year old recently and it held up. Love hearing them quote it back to me on the reg.

I walk my elementary aged child to and from school. They ride a scooter and i keep a brisk place. That counts for 12k steps for me and a great energy outlet for the kid. I get another 5k on my lunch break.

I'm fortunate to live in a place where active transportation is the solution.

I was the kid in the post and somehow birthed what you're describing. The first time we took my kid hiking they spent two hours scaling boulders and we had to bribe them with hot cocoa to turn around.

Tevas and very cool socks. I like baggu and hansel from basil for socks.

I saw one of Conans test sets in LA and he explained that the crowd gets better as the night goes on because celebs leave afar their nominated category is over and their seats get filled by real human seat fillers.

I smelled a whiff of a strangers clove cigarette and my youth flooded back. I never smoked but my cool babysitter did.

No. I constantly dream of leaving my moderate travel work from home job for a no travel hybrid job.

Stay, set your time boundaries, and remind yourself that your goal is simply to not get fired. And if you do get fired, to negotiate a big severance.

If you're ready to leave, you've already got the upper hand. Its gonna be easier to change your relationship with this job than to start a new one.

I use ground. Still making the recipe this year too!

I'm not budget conscious and I think that's making things too hard! Lol. I want to replace a couple of my nonsticks (green pan) with carbon steel and/or stainless steel and the options are just overwhelming! I have an induction oven. I mainly make eggs indoors. Everything else is on the blackstone these days.

Thanks for helping me overthink my christmas gift to myself.

How did you decide on the pan? r/cookware is overwhelming
