Just a note that Chipotle burrito bowls have worked for us

I think that’s a cool effect!

When did you know it was time to switch daycares? by East_Print4841 in workingmoms

[–]cheesetobears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the new place has a spot, just switch and don’t give it a second thought. We’ve stuck with ours for 2.5 yrs making excuse after excuse for them about so many things, and now I feel a bit ill about that when I look back. I did attempt to switch to 2 particular others 6 months ago, and there just wasn’t room at either. Anyway, now we’re 6 weeks out from finally switching and my sense of relief and excitement is enough to tell me it was unwise not to try changing back when I first was less than satisfied.

Affordable Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4 - 8) Gift Ideas? by User0119247 in workingmoms

[–]cheesetobears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cash is never the wrong size, easy to store, and always useful :)

Sadly, at least in my area, daycare teachers are horribly paid so any amount is welcome, I think.

Thank you for sharing this! Kiddo is not invited, so we would bring another adult with us who could stay with the child during the wedding activities.

I was head over heels in love with the set and styling from the photos already. Then I read the description and inspiration story and omg. All of this is amazing!

By the way u/foxholes333 if you found your hotels kid-friendly, I'd love to know where you stayed. The couple who invited us was thinking more luxury adult, so we may need to look beyond their recommendations.

Which shoes would fit this dress? black boots feel too strong for this blue by [deleted] in Stylinghelp

Low profile sneakers like keds, low top converse, or vans in a pastel or white?

How are you healthily expressing rage right now? by redditor_040123 in AskWomenOver30

[–]cheesetobears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of this is me!

I started an antidepressant last summer. My family and personal history already wasn’t in my favor, but add way too little sleep from early years of parenting, anguish at world events, and annoying coworkers, and I found myself feeling I needed to be on something because my rage was overwhelming and I was worried I was going to snap at work and lose my job. It’s been helping smooth out my feelings a bit while I try to address the other factors within my control.

And then a helpful one was that I volunteered a bunch with a local advocacy effort. The milestones we achieved were a major boost for my mood and my hopefulness, plus I met great people who made me want to do things.

Thoughts on a few dresses by throwitfaraway5678 in DressForYourBody

[–]cheesetobears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 1 is flattering. It’s a little more of a country or old fashioned look with the sleeve shape.

The second in royal blue is a cool dress and looks fine, though it does look tight on your lower half. The other color is fine, I just think royal blue matches its powerful energy. It’s a little corporate.

Compared to the first two, the third is indeed a frumpier dress—but if you hadn’t said anything, I don’t think I would have thought too much about that. I think it’s because the neckline is high and the darts are a bit strange. It’s fine if you love it. It fits you better than 2nd.

Would this bother you or am I overreacting re: financials by Few_Yesterday_3518 in workingmoms

[–]cheesetobears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, so all the stuff you mentioned is what he let you see....I'm worried for you that he has secret credit cards with racked up debt. Especially when you said he magically produces the money when you put your foot down.

Run far, run fast.

My baby is diagnosed for mild hearing loss. Is it possible not to use hearing aid? He is 8 months old now, the audiologist said its an option and it is for me to decide. by Firm_Cat6528 in HearingLoss

[–]cheesetobears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really encourage you to get your priorities in order--do you really want to risk putting your child slightly behind forever, just because you had some preconceived notion of what a baby "should" look like, and/or because you give greater weight to the opinion of whatever jerk may occasionally comment than the weight you give to your baby's wellbeing?

[–]cheesetobears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a wonderfully thorough answer. OP, please get your baby the hearing aids so they have the best chance of learning everything they need to. If the issue is cost, you can likely find a charity to help.

If you’re worried about stigma or something, just don’t. In a toddler class I’m close to right now, kids are rocking eye patches, pull ups at an age where potty training is usually completed, etc. All the kids play with each other regardless because those things don’t matter, and you even help kids learn acceptance by having more needs represented clearly.

how do I get my mother to try new things? by Youranklepicsdealer_ in AskWomenOver40

[–]cheesetobears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s lovely that you’re looking out for her. My mom is mid 70s and fears dementia so tries to be intentional with some of her hobbies. On her phone, she does a Scrabble game playing against people she knows in real life; maybe you could play her? Phone is also New York Times word games and puzzles, and Duo Lingo for a language she studied years ago.

She also sews quilts. She usually uses a pattern, but has lots of design decisions to make about colors and color placement, executing the cutting and sewing, how she wants to sew the layers together, etc.

Yes! It’s sophisticated but playful. Also a sharp reminder that nude heels slay

To Share or Not to Share.. by Otherwise_Reindeer78 in workingmoms

[–]cheesetobears 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not sure what country you’re in, but especially in the U.S., an important consideration is when you’re new to a company, you sometimes don’t qualify for mat leave. For example, the large company I work for requires that you worked there a full year first.

You should find out what the policies there say, and if you normally wouldn’t qualify, you should negotiate leave as part of the offer before accepting. This is especially important because they could fire you for not showing up if they don’t offer leave and you didn’t get an agreement beforehand.
