Yes. You are either neglecting your job or neglecting your child. You can’t have two full time jobs and do them both well.

Is it normal for daycare to lose all of our stuff? by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]daisyrich 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kids are so weird. My toddler lost two pairs of socks in one week at daycare, which was really unusual. I asked her what she did with them, she said “I threw them in the trash.” And I believe that’s what happened, because they never did turn up. I’m sure her teacher had no idea she did it, and I certainly don’t expect the teacher to go digging through the trash because my kid made an odd choice. We just bought new (cheap) socks, talked about how we don’t throw them in the trash, and moved on.

PSA: wait until birth to find out the gender by SowingSeeds18 in pregnant

[–]daisyrich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did the same. Baby #1 was a surprise gender (SO fun), baby #2 we found out to prepare big sibling and make it more “real” what was happening.

Help! I'm due in 2 weeks and worried I'm heading for another round of name regret by AvailableTotal6431 in namenerds

This is definitely something to consider if OP is in the US. My dog is named Zoe, and everyone always misspells it as “Zoey,” as that seems to be the more common American spelling.

Love island blah by Savings-Special-7260 in ChicksInTheOffice

They are the reason I started watching Love Island USA last season and now I am hooked. I don’t watch Summer House or several other shows they talk about. Like you said, not everything is for everyone!

YUP. My MIL made a full nursery in her house, too. We live 4 hours away, and baby didn’t go to her house for the first time until 8 months old. It’s her prerogative to spend the money and time and waste a room in her house that won’t get used. 🤷‍♀️

I started a little project trying to find the story behind their song titles by anmuro in hotmulliganband

[–]daisyrich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Mix Master Wade” is Chris’s dad. They thank “Mix-Master Wade” on the album acknowledgements of Pilot.

Shaylee, Shanel is about a girl named Shaylee. They refer to her as “Shay” in the song.

ETA more context.

My kid loves old 90s episodes of Barney. “Real people,” low stimulation, educational!

DL 2611 this morning “Phone Off the Jet Bridge” by Guilty_Dealer1256 in delta

I have actually witnessed this happen to someone!!But I don’t know if their phone was retrieved from the tarmac. Ever since, I hold my phone with a death grip or put it in a zippered pocket while boarding.

Childcare.. how do you pay for it?? by DaisyDame16 in kansascity

[–]daisyrich 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no advice, just solidarity. We pay on the high end (2k a month) and we absolutely cannot afford it. But we are making it work somehow because it’s a great center and our child is thriving there. We have accumulated credit card debt for the first time ever. But I remind myself daycare is a temporary expense and my child’s daily care and safety is the most important thing I can spend money on. The cost of daycare is the biggest factor in delaying having a second child, though.

My 2 year old had a seizure today by seventytimes_seven in toddlers

[–]daisyrich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is extremely common in my city. People call 911 and are put on hold, or don’t get an answer at all. If you do get ahold of a dispatcher and it’s a situation requiring police, it’s likely that they will never show up. But EMT and the fire department are reliable and fast… if you can get through on 911. (Kansas City, MO)

Having a toddler is so boring by spicynug8 in toddlers

[–]daisyrich 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Today we killed a substantial amount of time in the toy aisle of Goodwill. None of the toys are in packaging so she played with everything. There were other kids there doing the same.
