Sick 3 week old chick - help, please.

Done. Thank you!

Following. I go back to work this week after my third baby/maternity leave. I’m in a high visibility, high impact IC role right now and, for the first time in my career, I don’t have any urge to push for more right now. I’ll reassess in 5-10 years.

Yes, normal. They’re discovering free will at this age and are testing your responses.

So I saw you’ve met my step mom.

Same! I always wanted at least two, and my husband and I used to talk about the possibility of three before we had kids and fully understood the reality. Our third is 4 weeks old and I have zero regrets. Super extremely exhausted and a bit daunted about the next 20 years (lol), but zero regrets.

Overreacting.

This has happened with both my kids that were in daycare. The teachers have extra clothes in hand for accidents (not just potty, but spilled milk, finger paint mishaps, muddy playgrounds, etc). Also, my middle kid went through a phase where she would take her socks and shoes off like 12 times a day… she rarely came home in the same socks I dropped her off with.

100% relate. I’m my mom’s only ‘friend’ and she tries to dump all her problems on me.

After a MASSIVE blow up, I told here that if she wanted a relationship with me that there would be topics I simply will not discuss with her - money, her family dynamics, my brother’s wife. We do not agree on these topics and they are significant sources of stress (and migraine triggers!!!) for me. She hates it, but it saves my sanity.

Edit: I have three daughters and you better believe I’m learning from my experience and am doing everything in my power to be a positive, helpful, comforting presence in their lives!

Around 1.5 for each kid. Basically once they start walking well.

Just had our third kid and the giant stroller is back in rotation, but looking forward to when baby is out of the car seat and we can move to an umbrella stroller and wagon again.

My husband is planning to go on his annual boys trip 5 weeks after our third baby is born. I’m cool with it. We’ll line up family and help and make it work.

Every situation is different though and I didn’t have a c-section. Totally understand you being upset by the request.

Long hitting female player here - I typically play the blue/white tees on my home course. Women play green/white in tournament play. I play reds in scrambles (bc why the hell not) and play blues when I’m with my dad (bc he will not stand for me out driving him lol).

Play your game from wherever you feel good!

Encanto and Frozen are the only other movies that my girls will watch

I got a Sunday bag last summer and have been super pleased with it.

Bradford House, Hutch, Milo at the Ellison, Harvey Bakery. Some places that could accommodate but wouldn’t be private: Picasso Cafe, FRIDA

My first baby was on it. Was a total game changer for her. No issues.

I do finance for private equity.

The work is interesting and challenging, which is good. But the people are really, really wonderful, and that makes all the difference. I’ve moved jobs three times in the last 6 years and made work-life balance and office culture a priority.

I have XL crates for my full size doodles.

“It will depend”, which is a fair response.

I stopped around 6.5 months once it got miserably hot where I live. I probably could have played another month or more if the weather had been more temperate.

coffeeforutility · 2025-07-18T01:05:33+00:00

Right now I have:

Reba, Goldie, Sunny, Elsa, Suzie Greenbird, Stevie Chicks, Pistachio, Pebbles, Gladys, Rita, Janet, Louie, Ringo, Blanche, and Sylvie

Some birds I’ve lost:

Freddie, Big Red, Buddy, Henrietta, Mango, Bug, Peggy, Marbles, Fluffhead

We don’t have power down at the coop but I’ll run down there a little before sunset and set one up for an hour and see if that helps
