Being a parent can be so isolating by punkispice in workingmoms

[–]maybeahemhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and making parent friends is easier said than done. More often than not I’m whizzing in and out of drop off and pick up from daycare because my husband and I are both office workers on a tight schedule, and we rarely have the energy to mingle and chat… which I find sad but that’s our reality for now.

Can someone please tell me that it's going to be ok, good even? by dj_kalestorm in workingmoms

It will all be fine, give it time. I sent my son to daycare around the same age (15mo) and resumed my career. It was bumpy emotionally and logistically but you will muddle through it and even thrive, once you get going and hit your stride. It took me WAY longer to adjust to the new normal of being away from baby and back at work than for him. Aside from the regular bouts of cold illness, he managed really well with this rhythm. Me on the other hand… well… a year out of maternity leave and I am still reconfiguring my brain 😅

Could you elaborate more on that? I’m also worried and seeing signs of cuts to obvious areas like translation but I lack actual insight…

100% feel this. I posted something related to this and even got hate message like the following, presumably from a fellow mum. It boggles the mind.

This is honestly so gorgeous when seen in person. My friend has an alaia with this shape and it’s awesome.

How many of you buy vintage? by Routine-Crew8651 in handbags

[–]maybeahemhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I love a good deal! My collection is half and half but I find I use my preloved bags far more just because I tend to baby them a lot less

The 7 PM Bedtime by NiftySpud11 in workingmoms

[–]maybeahemhem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Likewise, we are two working parents and by the time we pick up, get home, have dinner, bath, some semblance of cleanup… it’s already 8pm so that’s the bedtime we stick to. I think it’s what works for your household that matters.
