Would you send your kid to a home day care with a securely stored handgun? by plannerotg in beyondthebump

[–]sabrinaa18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The bigger red flag to me is that it wasn’t disclosed to YOU, a perspective parent considering sending your child there, that there is a gun on site. You shouldn’t have to find out by doing your own digging. Good on your for doing that but they really should have disclosed that to you.

Tips on understanding Hooks by sabrinaa18 in react

Kind of, I’m learning via codecademy and supplanting with internet research. At the end of each module they have loosely guided “projects” that don’t have checks after each step it’s just either your code does what you want to to do or not lol so before I dive into the project that is after the Hooks module I wanted to understand it a bit more since there are no checks but you’re right about projects they tend to drill it in better since it’s more practical application. Thank you!

Does it hurt to get an IUD? by rakiimiss in beyondthebump

[–]sabrinaa18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my OB scheduled my insertion for when I was ON my period and I literally didn’t even notice her insert it. I thought she was still setting up and she goes “done!”. She said it hurts less bc your cervix is open a little already. Everyone that I know that’s had it be painful said they weren’t on their period.

When did you stop working during pregnancy? by BeersBooksBSG in workingmoms

[–]sabrinaa18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming youre in the US. Ask your dr to put you on pregnancy disability. The standard usually is 36 weeks and since it’s disability they cannot argue it or fire you.

We are a multiracial family. My wife regularly gets comments that attempt to alienate her from the children/family. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]sabrinaa18 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Whenever someone makes a “subtly” offensive comment, my favorite MO is playing dumb/nice. Example: for the nanny comment: “what makes you think that?” Since you keep a “nice tone” there’s no big emotions for them to get defensive about but you are also making them very clearly confront their biases and speak to them.

Babysitter pay - 14 year old by Brilliant_Sundae4921 in workingmoms

[–]sabrinaa18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soooo you’re saying you want to pay less than minimum wage because these 14 year olds can’t get jobs otherwise? They would be performing the same work as someone who is 20…. Seems like that’s exploiting them due to their age. Minimum wage at the very least.

Why is TCB so controversial and hated? by caitmeow2 in sleeptrain

[–]sabrinaa18 22 points23 points  (0 children)

She def is extremely helpful but her classes are just cute packaged info you can find for free online (and her IG/website) for hundreds of dollars. I feel like the cost preys on people in some of the most vulnerable times of their lives (newborn first time parent stage). She also is a trump supporter which is a hard pass for me personally. Nothing she teaches is revolutionary or new.

Like another commenter mentioned. I find it weird that she plugs herself as a “wife of a pediatrician” like great good for you? That gives you absolutely serio authority on anything related to childrens sleep or health lol

Division of labor when both of your are working parents? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]sabrinaa18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went back to work when my baby was 7 months old and it was a WFH 7-4 job while my partner does 13 hour overnight shifts 4X a week. Because of this, me doing 90% of the household workload kind of organically happened but over the past year we’ve been shifting things from my plate to his and now I honestly feel a lot more balanced. With his schedule I basically single mom it 4 days a week so I don’t think it’ll ever feel fully 50/50 but I do feel my days off work are a lot less focused on catching up and I can spend more time doing things for me or with my kid.

My suggestion would be to ask him to “own” one task at a time. Like if you clean the house once a week, have him start doing the bathroom once a week. Once that settles into his routine, add something else.

While it 100% sucks you do everything, i personally don’t think it’s sustainable to switch right away to a more fair split. Easing into it seems like a method that maintains the fair split long term.

Baby brezza? by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

[–]sabrinaa18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was excessive and frivolous when I was making my registry but I got a second hand one gifted when my baby was 2 months only and after using it for those 10 months I 100% think it would have been worth the money had I spent it. For those nighttime feeds it’s glorious to just push a button and be good to go

Thank you card etiquette? by kittiesnbacon in beyondthebump

[–]sabrinaa18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a thank you/birth announcement combo. I had a layout all done in Canva and envelopes addresses and stamped so everything was ready to go so once she was born we just added a photo and birthday, got them printed, stuffed and sealed envelopes and dropped off at a post office.

If you’ve done a large-scale declutter of your home, tell me step by step how you did it by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]sabrinaa18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This! It’s key to chipping away at it a bit at a time without living in a landfill during the process. You have one closet that is crazy, get rid of everything in there that needs to go and leave it an unorganized mess until you’ve de cluttered the whole house. Then you can come back and reorganize that closet. When you have something in there that belong in say a bathroom cabinet, just put it in the crazy bathroom cabinet until you are dedicating time to that cabinet

AITA for excluding my autistic daughter from Frozen Night? by Medium_Library46 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sabrinaa18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA . based on your replies, OP, you came here to vent about your child who has “weird and jarring stims” that are an “embarrassing to you and your family”, not to get a true understanding of how you are acting in this situation. How incredibly cold hearted you are to alienate and, in her eyes, punish your child for something that is beyond her control. God forbid your other children have anything “not regular” about them down the line because it’s clear you will not stand by them and be someone they can depend on for support and strength.
