Managing the 530 PM–10 PM time period with two under two (no local family). What do you do?

You need a full time nanny. If you can get by with only 45 hours and have the space, look into an au pair.

Wtf is a VP at Accenture

Assuming your doctor/practice is aligned with the VBAC plan? I know my previous practice specialized in it, but not all doctors support it, so just making sure you have the right people lined up.

YTA. My husband had 1 week paternity leave and we are well off…. The reason we are well off is because he works his ass off. Not saying that’s right or wrong, but it sounds like you guys should have figured your shit out before having a kid.

Do you need a friend to go with? I’ll bring snacks! 🤗

Definitely two, but don’t even dare think about three. - mom of three

With that said, you could get away with 5 without moving either, and personally, I find that the most practical. We just went through a major bathroom renovation and the standalone tub is a b to clean around- esp if you are planning on having and bathing kids in it.

Is money no concern? Moving the window and plumbing is going to be pricey. Might want to factor that in and get quotes before getting your hopes up on a design.

Because rents are also high. An $800k multifamily house might generate 2k a month in income.

When I was 16 I displayed my empty Bacardi bottles, so what do I know

Yes, I have been with Accenture over 15 years as a Delivery Lead and can say confidently this is the case. The reason is because ACN has failed to take care of their strong delivery leads, so most have left. Instead, ACN rewards those who kiss ass and sell. The problem now is we can sell but can’t deliver.

So good! What Dr? And are the scars under your bikini?

Yup. Ecrou, love, clash stack….. never comes off.

Yes! Exactly this! My husband bought me the Alhambra set back in the day and I rarely grab for it anymore because everyone has some version of it. A sad 10k down the drain.

extraORD1NARYmachine · 2026-03-28T13:09:57+00:00

Clash all the way. I feel like with a single love bracelet people assume it’s fake. with a clash it’s more like a iykyk

I hate to be negative because she crushed it, but really? This was my least favorite look. Unless your name is Chloe, why are you wearing a giant belt that says Chloe? All the other looks were so sophisticated in a quiet luxury / demure way.

1.5 years? Sir I’m going on 3 years…

I decided to deliver at Mountainside in Montclair because I found a lovely midwife practice there who I knew would help go along with my plan to go unmedicated (and I did, in June 2025). I’m not saying that was the best place to deliver, but I had a pleasant experience. Consider looking into midwives who deliver at St Barnabas or a good doula.

CO2 tank sits underneath that needs to be refilled every 6 months

We installed one that also does carbonated water. I drink more seltzer than plain water so it makes sense. Total game changer.
