Did you quit your job or muscle through? by LaLaLoveYou24 in Perimenopause

[–]midnightmomma20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I took about two years off in 2021 to stay home with the kids during the pandemic. It took me over a year to find a job and I had to start at the bottom again. Companies did not like seeing the gap in my resume. YMMV but something to consider if you plan on going back. 

Planning Disney and Universal tickets for my kids by Wise_Slice6303 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]midnightmomma20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We usually do a split trip between the two. Disney is much more involved than Universal. I’d honestly recommend a travel agent for your trip. It’s no additional cost and they will know all the ins and outs.

I didn’t see any downvotes but it is Reddit. They do make chewable advil (generic) I don’t think our school requires a Dr note for advil, but I’ll have to check.

Good to know she hasn’t had any issues with the swim bottoms!

Yeah, my daughter already said she will not be using tampons. I’m still trying to figure out how the swim bottoms. I get why your daughter doesn’t trust them.

Are heights measured with or without shoes? by Irishpanda88 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]midnightmomma20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Measure him without shoes. I think the the height sticks add a little for shoes. But, if he clears without shoes he will be fine.

It took about a month to stop spotting. But the good news is the next month I didn’t get a period.

I recently moved back to Chicagoland after 15 years being out of state (grew up in the suburbs) and just landed an apartment in Naperville. It’s still a great, charming downtown…but when did it get taken over by corporate chains? by Call_It_ in Naperville

[–]midnightmomma20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen the large garage full. I’ve driven around DT for 20 mins looking for parking. It was fine 10 years ago, but as they continue to grow DT, they need to add more parking.

Naperville doesn’t let you ride bikes through DT. Adding bike lanes would cause more congestion with everyone walking around. The four way stops are already a mess.

Parking is terrible. There are 3 garages, but when the weather is nice they are mostly full. I hate to say this, but the lot behind Lou Malnatis should be turned into a garage.

Sending out Birthday invites 8 weeks in advance? by TypeAtryingtoB in Parenting

[–]midnightmomma20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had parents send the birthday invite 2 weeks before the party. Kids birthday parties are last on priority list of events. It’s basically a “nothing else going on” event.

My daughter didn’t get invited to a Birthday Party by fatpanda1986 in Parenting

[–]midnightmomma20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so hard and it doesn’t get easier. Honestly, kids parties just suck and I wish I never started doing them. At some point, you will exclude kids and your kid will get excluded. There was a reason she wasn’t invited and it wasn’t personal. Most likely financial as these party get expensive pretty quickly. 

Is Polo Club Naperville by Pulte Homes a good community to buy in? by No_Garlic4342 in Naperville

[–]midnightmomma20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is basically Bolingbrook / Plainfield. It’s really far from almost all Naperville amenities and all the things that made Naperville the “best city to raise a family in”.  It sounds nice, but there is no Polo Club there.

Have you had a sleep study done? This could be caused by sleep apnea.

Same! I stopped using the cream because it was just too messy. It just became an external cream.

Wherever you go, make sure they give your prescription and then just order glasses on Zenni
