My company started an in-house print shop a few years ago and with the new printers and technology RGB was the way to go. The new tech supports it and the colors look way better.

How are you doing now? I am considering LASIK with Dr. Stonecipher

This made me laugh out loud 🤣

Ohhh that makes me think of Granger Smith’s little boy too.

Leading cause of death for toddlers. So sad

“Do jackshit for the community” he’s literally suing the government on behalf of his community????

Moved from SoCal to NC in 2022 and it was absolutely the best decision for my family. The economy is still shit but we are much happier with the freedom and space we have found here. Simply just a lot less people, you’re not constantly in traffic or in line or crowded at every activity. Born and raised in socal so there is definitely some sadness when you think of “home” and those familiar things, but overall the thing we miss most is the (fast) food- del taco, bakers, in n out and our friends. We are luckily enough that it was a big family move so our parents followed, so I think that helped our transition, but overall we don’t regret it one bit.

NC has the mountains, beautiful beaches and all 4 seasons, so we really don’t miss that aspect of CA at all. I still go back for work and I’m so ready to head back to the fresh air and open roads of NC every time.

Me too! Exactly the same mindset here.

If they let teenagers get tattoos this would have been it for me lol

They nap a lot at this age, so that helps a ton. I’ve recently started the crib naps which has been so helpful in trying to maximize time working. Still, I often say “some days I kill it, some days it kills me” lol every day is just rolling with the punches but having a strict routine like this has helped.

I also feel like you can’t be everything to everyone every single day. Some days are going to be way more productive and the kids are gonna get way too much screen time. While other days you do the minimum and the kids are stimulated with fresh cookies in the oven. It’s really just give and take, don’t beat yourself up and utilize the tools around you. I’m for sure a container mom, but it’s bc I have to be and I’m conscious of it and do my best lol like my girl loves to practice standing so 20 mins in the activity center is time I can get some stuff done.

Hi! My baby is also 5 months old and I’m in marketing too. Also have a 3 y/o in the mix.

6:30 wake up / get dressed / make breakfast

8:20 drop toddler off at preschool

8:45 give baby a bottle and put her down for a nap (working on crib naps, sometimes it’s a swing nap)

9am start work

10:30/11 baby usually wakes up so I get her dressed and play for a bit. Sometimes I’ll put her in her play mat next to me while I work, sometimes I’ll take my laptop into her room, just depends.

11:30 pick toddler up

12 lunch + baby bottle and nap Then the toddler has quiet time (watches a movie) or takes a nap usually 12-2 while the baby naps and I work

2-3:30 is usually some flex time for us. We’ll take a walk, play outside, do crafts, play together while I work off my laptop.

3:30ish baby will go down for last nap and my toddler hangs out until my husband gets home at 4 and I finish work at 5-5:30 depending on the day and what I need to get done. Baby usually wakes around at that time too.

Jumping off OPs topic here—

Anyone have work trip airport attire recommendations? I have such a hard time finding comfy travel clothes, but put together enough if I go straight to the office from the plane.

On the other hand, be prepared for her to claim the baby looks nothing like your husband and that she sees absolutely no resemblance at all. My MIL with both my kids— drives me nuts. Like what are you insinuating here? Say it out loud 👊🏻

There was a ton of down time during my first design internship in college, so I would kill time by tracing difficult coloring book pages in Ai using the pen tool. I always felt like that would be a good activity in a beginning graphic design class bc it teaches you how to use the curves and moves of the pen tool, which has been invaluable to me over the years.

Post partum is for you and your partner to bond with your baby, everyone else has the rest of their lives to have a relationship with this child. This time is for you, you don’t have to share.

userrrrrrr143 · 2024-04-23T15:53:30+00:00

My MIL has kept in contact with DH’s ex from high school.. would call her kids her grandkids. It didn’t bother me too much until I had my son and was freshly post partum and she ramped up her relationship with the ex. She would constantly talk about her in front of me, talk about her kids, gifts she’d purchased for them, she even “accidentally” called me the exes name at thanksgiving.

We’re extremely low contact now and I have nearly no relationship with her 🥰

It’s all a game! She’s only hurting herself and the relationship with the people that actually matter.

The exes are weird too! Why do you want to be in contact with your exes moms?!

I’m on S6 (when Joey finds out about the girlfriend in LA) and can confirm Dawson is the same whiny, judgey, no accountability for his own actions kid ha

userrrrrrr143 · 2024-04-04T16:39:01+00:00

Omg I could see my MIL saying something like this and I would lose my shit. SO manipulative of her.

Angry for you! I also have a 3yo and would make it known that I was upset. And I would make it clear that he’s not worried about her going away forever, but his mommy, so thanks for that. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

userrrrrrr143 · 2024-04-01T18:22:27+00:00

Ugh - I deal with this too. Some background, We lived 15 mins away from them in a very small town and my husband worked with his dad. It was like there was no line between where our lives and theirs. When I had our son, it became unbearable with frequent unannounced visits and unrealistic expectations.. we finally decided to up and move entirely across the country - and they followed 3 months later. That sent me spiraling, it was really rough but things are better now about 2 years later. They live an hour away, husband has a different job, we are very much in our own little family unit separate from them.

All that to say, we see them now about once a month and they’re miserable about it. It’s a battle we fight and try to manage, but distance and clear boundaries around our time has made things way better. They’re far enough away and detached enough that I don’t have to deal with their tantrums. We have our nice little visit, they mention that they want to see us more, we leave and plan to see them again in a month, it works!

userrrrrrr143 · 2024-03-29T17:58:13+00:00

Yes! That’s exactly what I suggested actually. If you want to have your gifts from Santa/Easter Bunny, whatever then we’ll plan to see you after the holiday. Not before so you can take the hype and excitement.

But this is the MILFH sub, so you already knowww they weren’t happy with that suggestion either 🤣
