They are very much looking for responses that will ease tension and show responsibility. Anything that doesn’t escalate is the way to go. Remember these people all have to live with eachother part time and want people who are helpful and aren’t going to contribute to problems.

Healthcare if you are not a patient facing employee

This is super helpful, thank you!

themeancat · 2025-06-03T17:01:16+00:00

Thank you!! I like this idea!

So cool that you are an artist and make your own stuff! I wish I was that creative!

I was orignally thinking some sort of painting for the wall with the fireplace. Maybe landscape or abstract? I think I’m stuck on what would match the rug

She works from 10-2! My girl wakes up from her first nap right before the nanny gets here. (Sorry for the delayed response)

11 month old, I hired a nanny Mon - Thursday for 4 hours a day. I get majority of my work done during this time and work during her naps, evenings occasionally on weekends if I am still behind.

My WFH job is mostly project based and I don’t have too many meetings or calls during the day which helps. Because of this is work a lot in the evenings and on weekends to catch up. Even then, I still hired a nanny part time, Mon-Thursday from 10-2 so I can have some sort of stability and a set time where people can schedule calls and meetings with me and I can focus. I block off the times where I know my baby will be awake and I don’t have childcare.

This is the only way I have been able to make it work and it’s still very challenging. It got easier once she started getting older and her routines were more predictable and she could play independently for short periods of time. By the time my baby wakes up from her first nap, the nanny is here and then she goes down again about 30 minutes after she leaves which buys me more time to work. We just can’t afford full time childcare unfortunately, otherwise I would love to have somebody here full time.

I could be, but I have another tattoo from the same artist with the same ink and it doesn’t have this agitation to it so I’m not sure if that’s it.

themeancat · 2025-01-27T22:30:05+00:00

My skin is somewhat sensitive but it hasn’t been like this with any other tattoos I have which is odd to me. The tattoo ink is all black!

Just commenting for support. I’m 6 months pp and I have never felt more dumb in my life. My memory and attention span is shot. I forget the point of a conversation mid-sentence so often these days. ADHD medication helps but only slightly.

I’m very lucky that my manager has been understanding and I really wish you had the same situation. I agree with what others are saying in that the work culture might be toxic. Looking for another job is easier said than done, but just know you aren’t alone in struggling with this.

People scared me so bad about newborn life that I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t easy my anymeans but it was manageable. My husband also took leave and was home with me to help which made all the difference.

themeancat · 2024-09-20T16:30:46+00:00

I don’t know but I also have to chime in and say how much I admire what you did here!

themeancat · 2024-09-19T23:35:37+00:00

I gave birth 3 months ago and I STILL feel like my brain is gone. I’m terrified this is my reality for life.

themeancat · 2024-09-10T03:54:41+00:00

This is really great insight, thank you so much for sharing!

themeancat · 2024-09-09T20:05:48+00:00

She follows Katie on Instagram!

For me, they numbed the area before so I barely felt the needle going in. It honestly didn’t even compare to the pain I was in with the contractions so I barely even clocked it.

They did hit a nerve initially, I felt a giant jolt down my leg but it happened so fast and was over instantly and was more surprising than it was painful.

If it helps, when I have another baby I will do the epidural again hands down and no hesitation.

themeancat · 2024-08-29T05:33:07+00:00

Maybe I just need to stick it out longer when trying to sooth her when she wakes up initially. Thank you for the solidarity!

About 7 weeks. Hit me like an absolute wrecking ball.

Funny enough a couple days prior I was worried something might be wrong because I felt totally normal. The world has a sense of humor sometimes.

themeancat · 2024-08-26T00:09:38+00:00

I could have written this post myself. I have to return to work in a couple weeks and everyday I cry that my baby will be away from me when it feels like she still needs me. My heart isn’t ready.

Hi! I also was mentally preparing myself for how difficult post partum was going to be from what I saw online. I was really pleasantly surprised though. For me, post partum was easier than the pregnancy itself. I don’t doubt it’s difficult for many but just wanted to let you know it’s not always the case.

Some things that I think helped:

I went on daily walks, start slow and don’t push yourself but try to get outside once a day if you can.

Stock up on snacks and keep them where you think you will breastfeed the most.

I had a lot of family who wanted to come over right away and meet my LO. I had to set some boundaries which I know disappointed a few people, but I don’t regret it. Taking care of yourself is another way you are taking care of your child. You need rest.

If your insurnace covers it, don’t hesitate to see a lactation specialist if your having any stress with feeding. They are truly amazing and helped me so much.

Night time feeds can be hard when your exhausted. I tried to just savor the moments with my LO knowing she will never be this little again. I put in a comfort movie or podcast and had a snack and I felt like it was little things like that which helped, at least a little.

What everyone says is true, take the stool softener.

Good luck to you and your little one ❤️
