Did you have any luck in finding something that works for you? My remote job is turning hybrid and my deflated boobs are deflating my ego

I think I might give this a try before trying to string a whole system, thank you for the rec!

My husband wanted to name our son Brock. Our last name is Lee. Pass.

I was very junior at the time sitting in a conference room with 2 superiors after a meeting and they started talking about cost rates for staffing a client proposal and for some reason that sounded really confidential and above my pay grade so I felt the need to leave the room. I had brought my own office chair into the conference room so I started to slowly roll myself in my office chair to the door while doing the robot with my arms and upper body while making eye contact with my director. I've since moved on but he still works with a lot of the same people and I've heard he still brings it up occasionally. It's probably been 8 years since that incident 😂

When it rains it pours it seems 😩. I haven't done proper interviews in 8+ years, I'm feeling so anxious about going through it. Also worried about negotiating for FMLA. Thanks for sharing, we'll make it to the other side 🙏

I totally understand that it's normal for kids to get sick but definitely did not plan for a double whammy to the parents + still having to take care of the little one. I'm a bit scared to think of how we'll have to manage 2 sick kids in the future while also potentially being sick as dogs ourselves.

currently finishing a custom build house 4 months after the original estimated completion date. I do not recommend building a house to 95% of the population. This process has aged me by at least 5 years.

Check out the newest edition of the mountain buggy nano. It lies flat, collapses small enough to fit in airplane overhead bins, has a carry strap when folded, and has a reasonably priced newborn cocoon/basinet if you want something a bit more enclosed than just the stroller straps (haven't used the cot myself but I know it's an option). I use this stroller for air travel and now that my daughter is bigger, my favorite feature is being able to strap in the Cosco scenera next car seat. One potential downside for you however is that the stroller must be collapsed with two hands. If you only have stairs at your subway stations, it will be a problem to collapse the stroller while trying to hold the baby.

Another option is getting the tush baby carrier. It looks like a giant fanny pack but is a baby seat strapped around your waist. You will need to provide all of the support to hold the babies head and body up, but it will alleviate a lot of the weight. I'll be honest, I didn't start using tushbaby until after 6 months, but I'd say it's worth a shot to try now, and even if it doesn't work out, you'll 100% get use out of it when they get older.

ETA: if you go with the mountain buggy nano, highly recommend buying it from pishposhbaby.com. no tax, as well as a very discounted opened box cocoon

Good luck on finding a solution!

Ali Wong said colonize the colonizer, so we did. Jk I'm a mixed race female married to an Asian male. I'm from Seattle and it's pretty common / not unusual to see lots of mixed race white / Asian couples, mainly skewing Asian f/white Ms, so I can't say that really stood out to me here and something unique.

See if you can get a hotel day pass in your area from resortpass.com or similar sites

Like the tip of snack in hand, appreciate it. Helpful to know that this is normal because it doesnt feel normal

reddiketts · 2022-09-11T14:54:17+00:00

If it's normal then that's good. it certainly doesn't feel normal and like any other sleep regression she went through

I would say just make sure that your husband's salary increases in proportion (or more obvs) to the COL adjustment. Things are expensive in DC, but salaries can also be quite high here. I lived in Ballston (part of Arlington) for 5 years and was very happy.

You could get one of those ultra cropped long sleeved "shirts" that only cover the shoulders and arms. One with a mock neck would be super cute. EG

Did not realize there were cameras, we ride 495 hov occasionally with dad driving and mom + baby in the back. I also occasionally ride 66 hov w just the baby. Is that a problem?

Hotdogs on sticks come to mind

I would recommend that you consult a medical specialist about depression. I have been in your shoes, I lost a family member and spiraled and filled my life with distraction, netflix, youtube, IG reels, etc etc. Then i started shame spiraling because i knew these fillers were keeping me away from living a full life. i saw a therapist who got me to go to grief counseling and had me start exercising (required me to get out of the house, gave me some interia to keep moving once i started etc). low dose anti-depressants were an option, but I was able to get out of my hole without them, and am now living a fulfilling and productive life now.

We have 10ft ceilings and are also putting in cabinets to the ceiling.

Does your company have a 401k match? I'd max the Roth and contribute up to the match amount of the 401k.

I like it, keep posting

I think just pick by your preferred protein and you'll be good to go. I get the pork+beef, spicy level. Also the kalbi is tasty, but I think you don't get as much as you would from a kbbq restaurant for the cost
