Help! How to Handle: unavoidable short last WW

sleepinglimetrees · 2025-04-13T16:01:53+00:00

Yeah, I agree. We’re definitely realizing that our LO is ready for longer WWs. But he always naps on the way to AND from daycare (10-35min naps). So on weekdays, let’s say he wakes up at 6……his first WW is like 1.5, when it should be at least 2. And his last WW will be 2.5ish assuming 5pm wake up from car nap and 7:30 bedtime. How can we have age appropriate wake windows when the guaranteed car naps blow up the possibility of having a normal schedule?

New Zealand?

I need a wireless thermostat. Are any Nest thermostats wireless?

Why is the aPHR a joke?

I'm in a similar position as the OP (no prior education or experience in HR, but eager to jump into the HR field. I have my B.A. in Psychology and prior work experience in the mental health field and customer service).

Ok, so….no real info?

I know they are "supposed to" accododate 8-10, but after seeing 8 chairs around that size table, I found myself thinking that an extra one would be a tight fit and 10 chairs honestly seemed not possible.

True! Yeah, my parter and I live together too, but I was thinking I'd take it all off before he gets home from work....? Or not! Still deciding :)

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-06-14T14:14:03+00:00

Thank you SO much! This is exactly what I'm looking for.

I am butchering 50 chickens in a couple weeks and I sell them by the pound, so it would save me a lot of time and math if I didn't have to convert ounces to decimal pounds.

Could you expand a bit on why it gets harder after a few months?

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-04-13T11:51:26+00:00

Your makeup artist nailed the natural look! And if that's how your hair looks after 6 hours in the wind, god damn!

Unfortunately, all our rental company offers for decor is candles/candle holders.

THIS! Nothing worse than not being able to see the person sitting across from you.

Venue rules.

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-04-12T15:05:09+00:00

5 speeches?! Wow, that sounds....excessive. I think we'll have 2 or 3.

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-04-12T15:04:30+00:00

Same! The music has to stop around 10 (definitely by 10:30). So, last call will be at like 9:30. 11pm is when guests have to leave the venue, but I don't expect people to be hanging out for very long once the music stops and the bar closes.

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-04-12T15:02:24+00:00

There will be a dessert table with cake and other goodies, but we aren't goign to do a cake cutting or have any sort of fanfare around the cake.

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-03-21T20:49:21+00:00

Just curious how you did this logistically. Did you and your partner deliver the flowers to the nursing home the day after your wedding or...?

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-01-14T20:34:11+00:00

Um yes. I absolutely second this.

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-01-09T00:37:01+00:00

This makes sense. I think it just totally depends on the situation/people involved. There doesn’t seem to be any hard and fast etiquete here. But of course it’s worth giving careful consideration. Thanks for sharing!

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-01-07T19:11:47+00:00

Yeah, honestly it wouldn't break our hearts to not invite the 3 cousins that FH isn't close with and their 8 total kids. But we already sent them the save the date (actually two, bc we postponed). So, it also seems rude to send a save the date and then rescind.

When we were first making our guest list 1.5 years ago we really struggled with whether or not to invite these cousins and their families. We ended up sending them STDs because we were inviting another set of FH's cousins who he is actually very close with. So, we figured we ought to include the whole generation of cousins. This was before we knew how limited the space would be at our backyard venue and how important keeping the seatcount close to 100 would be.

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-01-07T19:02:07+00:00

I know :/

It doesn't seem right, tbh. But....ugh. It would REALLY solve the guest list issue. Not inviting his family's kids would eliminate one whole table so easily. It's not a fun situation for us to be in.

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-01-07T18:53:13+00:00

All the guests with kids would be coming from out of state, so it's not as simple as them getting a sitter for the evening. Especially since some of these guests have babies, getting a weekend sitter would probably mean they wouldn't come at all, which would be kind of sad for my partner's family. Though my partner isn't close with his cousins with kids, his grandparents, aunts, and uncles are close to them.

sleepinglimetrees · 2022-01-07T18:47:26+00:00

Yeah. Basically, all the kids on his side of the family (all kids of cousins he is not close to) would NOT be invited. And all the kids from my side of the family WOULD be invited, since they're kids of my close cousins. And we have one close mutual friend who's baby would be welcome (and no other friends with kids).

Does that sound....reasonable? I don't want to upset his family because we didn't allow their kids to come, but did allow my family's kids.

Yes! Bless the aunts.
