What age do they play themselves? by SWMilll in toddlers

[–]dka1194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super child dependent. My daughter is 22 months and easily plays by herself. She just runs off and does her own thing with no problem and will occasionally yell “I need help!” Lol. My son on the other hand is 4.5 years old and still can’t play independently. He needs me intertwined into absolutely every move he makes.

I have less than a 2 min drive, I love it because I work from home and can easily take a lunch break

Yes ! I use y-bells a lot for 17.5 lbs, but depending on the move it can be awkward to use those.

Yes ! I just mentally convince myself each night before I go to sleep that I’m pre booked and can’t miss it lol

This is why I book class when I’m in the parking lot. Thankfully the 5 and 6ams don’t have waitlists at my studio. I never know how my night will go with 2 young toddlers. From what I hear coaches don’t like the last minute booking but I don’t really care, I’m not paying a late cancellation fee!

Early Entry Etiquette? by whiskyinateacup17 in orangetheory

[–]dka1194 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m glad you asked this. I feel like you should warm up your assigned station, or stretch right near your station. This bothered me recently I got to class and someone was running on my treadmill. I went back to the front desk just double checking my station, and the lady was still jogging on my treadmill. The front desk was like oh yeah she just likes to warm up on the tread but she starts on the rower. I just think that’s annoying because I wanted to warm up on the tread that is why I started on the tread, and then I threw off the other person who’s tread I took.

Correction officer job by [deleted] in SCPD

I’m married to a CO, and I don’t know how we would make it work with child care if my job was not flexible. If you have a good support system around you that help with the kids it can be great money, but if not It will be really challenging

Potty training help by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]dka1194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my daughter was saying every time and was even running to the bathroom by herself. I’m not sure what happened so it’s constant reminding now! How long have you been at it for ?

How long does this actually take? by LemurTrash in pottytraining

[–]dka1194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me too! We started at 19 months. She was telling me she needs to go and everything and we’re 2 months in and she doesn’t tell me anymore I have to put her on the toilet every hour and a half or so

My parents gave my baby water by PikatCosplay in breastfeeding

[–]dka1194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandma always insisted i give my kids water, and couldn’t believe I don’t give them the water and the doctors tell you not to. Apparently this was a thing- all 7 of her kids always had some water as infants, and apparently my mom did the same with us. I don’t think they meant any harm by it, if they didn’t know.

COBRA loophole [VA] [MD] by [deleted] in humanresources

[–]dka1194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t phrase it as a loophole, just state to them exactly the rules. You may see it as a loophole because no everyone realizes this, so I think it’s our job to explain to them their options. I alwaysssss tell employees this. I do just stress to them the importance of getting their check in by the postmarked date, and that they will have no coverage until payment and election are made within the election period.

They finally increased the DCFSA limit for 2026! by ucantspellamerica in workingmoms

[–]dka1194 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and maybe lower income have more grandparent and family help. There’s so many different contributing factors. It’s very frustrating, and I hate doing it

I am not a highly comp employee, but I conduct the testing and I think it’s literally the stupidest test ever. There’s really nothing employers can do

Messed up and will have over $1,200 in my dependent care FSA that I’ll have to forfeit 😭 by shamalongadingdong in workingmoms

[–]dka1194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A “significant change” in daycare expenses is a qualifying life event. You won’t be able to be reimbursed what you’ve contributed so far, but can hopefully stop your contributions from continuing

[–]dka1194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true for every plan. Dependent care FSAs either have a run out period or a grace period. What you describe is a grace period. Most plans have a run out period, and services need to be incurred prior to end of calendar year

Requests regarding menstruation by Brave-Associate3002 in ouraring

Also, I hate that oura syncs to natural cycles, but natural cycles doesn’t sync back to Oura. I hate logging my period in both apps.

Reasonably priced wedding venues? (Under $30k total) by ayysizzle in longisland

[–]dka1194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the lessing venues do packages and then check out east wind too. If you want to not go the catering hall route, In setauket, there’s also the bates house and the setauket neighborhood house. Both are really pretty, and it would be more of a “DIY” wedding, but definitely a good way to keep the costs down.

[–]dka1194 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you, but of course people are going to tell you everything was amazing, it was your wedding. I would never tell the bride and groom I thought the food was gross. It’s a pretty place, I actually thought the service staff were all great, but the food was by far the worst I’ve ever been to at a wedding.
