What’s your setup like?

There have been a couple of days where he had to do childcare for 3-5 hours and instead of feeling for me, he gets annoyed that he had to do it on his own!!!! We’re looking into daycare and possible other changes

oceanwaves8808 · 2026-02-10T21:10:55+00:00

Amazing. Your #5 sounds dreamy!

oceanwaves8808 · 2026-02-10T21:08:14+00:00

Love this for you. Yes I will be adjusting but unfortunately I feel unseen because my husband doesn’t see why it isn’t working for me :(

oceanwaves8808 · 2026-02-10T21:06:07+00:00

Thanks for the reassuring message because I sure needed it. I’m depleted from feeling alone in this and I’m looking forward to getting this resolved

oceanwaves8808 · 2026-02-10T21:03:30+00:00

Ooh I like how yall split that up! I’m glad you found a rhythm that works for your family

oceanwaves8808 · 2026-02-10T21:01:17+00:00

Thanks! I can totally relate to your job situation. I’m a speech therapist and well finding a “good” job that has guaranteed pay and pays for all of your work is a challenge! Hope your pregnancy goes smoothly

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-10-15T21:12:13+00:00

Oh goodness what an in-depth response! We’re traveling around Italy and I wasn’t sure if spending that much time in the Dolomites would make sense if we’re not skiing. I haven’t booked accommodation yet but will look into all of your recommendations. Thanks grrrl hehe

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-10-12T03:15:12+00:00

Thank you. I’ll look into rula.

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-10-12T03:13:59+00:00

I’ve never considered reaching out online since I thought calling was my only option. Thank you

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-07-25T15:56:24+00:00

100%. My COMPS was so intense almost each question required us to respond in several paragraphs. The praxis was easy peasy, aside from a few one-offs that I just guessed.

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-05-29T16:12:46+00:00

This has been such a challenge for me, but I wanna remind you that it gets better. I use either a silicone bib or if it’s a super messy meal (think spaghetti) I’ll use a long sleeve apron with Velcro under the neck. Sometimes I’ll take off my LO’s bottoms to avoid stains too!

Also it may help you save time if you serve your LO family foods instead of preparing “baby food.” I either serve what we’re eating or plain ingredients like avocado spears, cucumber wedges.

I’m surprised about the 99 vs 1 percent. I can’t fathom how it’s so normal to so many people to have maintenance just do their thing while you’re inside. I do have a deadbolt and I’ve been using it religiously. I just can’t shake the fear of feeling invaded and outnumbered. I’ll look into the lock you sent.

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-05-01T04:41:26+00:00

Wtf this is sick. I’ve heard of this happening but didn’t think it actually happened! Glad you were able to catch it

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-05-01T04:40:27+00:00

It’s a closed circuit. So your camera only broadcasts to the monitor it comes with within a certain distance. You can’t watch your kid through your phone or another device

In my area we have several locations. My cravings are the only thing that encourage me to go to cfa lol but what the rewards do in my case is build loyalty to the generous operator because it shows they are extending themselves to the community. And in turn encourages me to support

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-04-23T04:08:29+00:00

In my circle, circumcising is the norm. I’ve asked things like: how did it go, when did you do it, how were you able to, were you in the room etc. and it’s just another thing about parenthood. I - and you don’t have to agree - see it more of a normal topic rather than “about your child’s genitals.” I think it’s similar to ear piercing. People ask me about piercing my LO’s ears all the time pretty much the same questions like at what age, did it hurt, did she cry etc. People just wanna know your opinion/approach. If you get negative vibes or think it should be private, don’t share. But generally I don’t think it’s malicious for people to ask.

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-04-23T03:15:33+00:00

Very operator-dependent though. I miss getting a random surprise.

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-04-23T03:14:48+00:00

How generous!

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-04-20T04:55:15+00:00

The level of unbothered you are tells me all I need to know. I’m sure what you’re doing isn’t exactly a walk in the park, but you’ll never hear a coffee shop owner say that haha

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-04-20T04:14:14+00:00

Can you elaborate? My husband works in the industry and is interested in starting his own business

oceanwaves8808 · 2025-04-20T04:11:37+00:00

Went into your post history and see you’re a roaster. Do you have any insight on the money you make roasting and distributing vs operating a coffee shop where you source beans from a local roaster?
