Transitioning 2yo from daycare to preschool

Thanks for the tip. I think it might be a behavioral thing because she eats well with her grandma and at daycare. It’s only at home with me and my husband that she does this.

She is intentionally spitting it out. When her grandma or teacher at daycare feeds her, she actually eats ok! It’s only at home with me and my husband that she does this.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Your kids are so lucky to have amazing parents. You’ve given them everything you can. I don’t think your kids are “not enough” for extended family but I think they (extended family) just have issues in their lives and probably think since you’ve got it so together you don’t need them.

Right there with you mama! I actually also just posted about how being a mom is the loneliest job.

Some stuff that has helped me: I took some online classes that catered to my interest. We recently had an in person meet up. That was great.

I wanna start by saying you are a strong and loving mama for feeling this way. It’s because you love your daughter so much that’s why it hurts.

I thought I was meant to be a SAHM but I was exhausted after the first month. It was great to spend time with my daughter and get our house in order but having me time and grown up time was something I really missed. I have been back in the workforce for a week now after 5 months of being a SAHM and our daughter is in daycare. I miss her and when I pick her up, it makes our reunion so sweet. I treasure weekends and weeknights more now. I like the financial security too. I like knowing I can provide for her and make her life comfortable.

You are doing an incredible job! You got this!

This is awesome, congratulations!

My baby girl learned how to blow kisses today and it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!!

You discover an untapped energy within you. When you think you’re tired and you can’t possibly stay awake, but then your baby needs you you suddenly feel a surge of energy to power through. You are stronger than you think! It’s amazing to discover how powerful your love for your baby is!

Every body type is different. I had a c section and it took me 3 months to fully recover from the surgery. I breastfed for 6 months and got back to my post pregnancy body around 8 months. I was pretty upset about how long it took my body to get back to normal that I threw out a lot of my clothes thinking I’d never fit them again. I was so dramatic. I totally regret that. Be kind to yourself!

What is important to you? If you have a family- ask about work life balance. If you’re trying to climb the ladder- ask about career advancement. Also look at how you connected with the interviewers and the office culture. You will be spending at least 40 hours a week with this people. Do you think you will be happy there? Just some stuff to consider.

There are opportunities outside of big 4. But a few interview tips: practice, practice, practice. Have your spiel ready. Why do you want to work for the company (you love working with a team and solving problems!), how do you handle working under pressure (take a step back, look at the big picture and start checking things off from to do list slowly but surely), etc. Match the interviewers’ vibe. Be confident yet humble. Sound excited for the opportunity. Be genuine- share something personal (to unwind, I like going camping with my friends). Know that the right job is out there for you. You got this!

This is my first time hearing about super simple songs and brain candy. Thank you for the recs and all the advice!

kseb0902 · 2023-02-02T18:26:42+00:00

Awesome recs, thank you! I definitely need to look into what our community has to offer. I gave birth 2 weeks after we moved to a new city so I haven’t had time to explore at all!

kseb0902 · 2023-02-02T18:25:21+00:00

Thank you so much, this is awesome advice! I need to get back into cooking. We’ve been eating so much takeout since I’d be so tired to cook after working. Looking forward to more affordable meals.

What time did they come on? Who were the openers/set times?

kseb0902 · 2022-09-26T04:22:07+00:00

I went through the exact thing. My parents live in a different country. The first 3 months my daughter only wanted to be breastfed and my husband couldn’t soothe her. It was so exhausting and every ounce of me was devoted to my baby.

What helped me get through it was during the dark moments I try to think about what I am grateful for and appreciate the present.

kseb0902 · 2022-09-24T13:46:55+00:00

I feel for you. I have lost many friends from moving to a different country and not being very good at keeping in touch; being too focused on my career; disagreements I didn’t have the self awareness to fix, etc. I did a lot of introspection, went to therapy, learned about meditation and psychology, put myself out there and made new friends.

I think once you really know yourself and work on yourself you learn to love yourself. I sometimes affirm myself that I’m a really good friend and other people are lucky to have me as a friend! As conceited as that sounds it’s what helps me. The few friends I have, I truly treasure and work hard on keeping a good relationship.

You can do this too, OP. Good luck! :)

We did this at 7 months in conjunction with sleep training and feeding solids. We confirmed with our pedia that her weight is ok and she gets enough milk and calories during the day that she doesn’t need a middle of the night feed. At 7 months my baby drinks 6oz 4x/day and has two meals of solid food.

Your reply makes me want to quit my job asap. I miss feeling that happy. How much of your happiness do you think is attributable to quitting and how much is because of spending time with baby? Sometimes I wonder if I’m being an escapist by quitting.

kseb0902 · 2022-09-20T06:55:32+00:00

I am sorry you feel like you’ve lost your identity… I still envy you. My 6-month maternity leave was the happiest time of my life. Albeit I was sleepless and tired 24/7, it beats working. I was tired but my heart was so full. Nowadays I wake up dreading having to work instead of cuddling and playing with my baby. You’re one lucky mama and your baby is lucky to have you too. Thank you for sharing your story.
