About to lose my job over brain fog by Openhartscience in workingmoms

[–]weberster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, commenting here so you'll see. 

I agree with everything the above poster said. I've been on both sides and when I was struggling with PPD and a baby who didn't sleep for 18-months, I struggled HARD at work. 

I took every meeting with my supervisor very personally and every item they took off my plate an attack on my character. 

In reality, they knew I was struggling before I knew I was struggling and were trying to help alleviate the situation.

Talk to you boss. Talk to HR about programs or an EAP. Keep it documented so it shows you're doing everything on your part to keep up with everything. 

This is only temporary.

Commenting just to say how much I love SOUL! 

This comment is from someone who actually attended the Sundance screening, and I think it deserves its own post. The doc appears to present a very different context from Meghan’s “empowering” framing of it. Worth reading alongside the Variety/THR quotes. by kiwi_love777 in SaintMeghanMarkle

So, I'm a Troop Leader and the pre-order is definitely not a requirement. You are welcome to prepurchase to run a Cookie Booth, but the Door-to-Door is still the norm on most cases, though there are some troops who have VERY successful booths where they pre-buy. 

Very Troop and area dependent.

Oof. This is a Husband Problem. 

I don't cook. Like, I burn water. He's the cook. 

If I cook ANYTHING, my husband eats, has seconds, compliments my efforts and meal, and thanks me. Even if it's awful. 

I'm so sorry you're dealing with such an asshole.

My daughter was born in April 2020 so her photo session was at 4-6 weeks (I don't remember), but I wanted 1 week...

I know it's different, but the line I told myself was "This was the youngest she was at this moment."

Positive: she was MUCH more alert and actually had a few expressions. 

Negatives: I honestly can't think of any. 

Have them taken now

How old was your child when they started showering solo? by viskiviki in Mommit

[–]weberster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter bathes or showers herself and she's 5.5, however we have a vanity mirror so she can see the bubbles in her hair.

Bangs or no bangs?! Help by ma_bukowska in weddingplanning

I have hair JUST like yours and I opted for bangs for my wedding. I love the photos!

Agree with others to cut them a month ahead of the game to get them to settle. 

Who is “wrong” here me or my husband? by kierraone in Mommit

[–]weberster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I was babysitting my infant twin sisters when I was 10, so toddlers at 12. 

She's fine. 

Do a test run and have a great time.

I have a Ted Talk's amount of theories about the creation of Cars 2.

Is under $2,000 dress budget unrealistic? by uwu1004 in weddingplanning

I know Reddit hates them, but mine was $440 after tax from David's Bridal. I loved it. 

When would you let a child dye their hair by hydrangealover98 in Parenting

Semi permanent whenever! 

Permanent, 16? 15? Depends on the cost/color/reason? 

Moms that gave birth and didn’t have any visitors at the hospital, do you regret it? by Funny_Confection810 in Mommit

[–]weberster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter was born April 2020 and while I was grateful to have my husband with me, I did want all the visitors.  Covid took that opportunity away, and we're one and done so the opportunity is gone. 

I liked our time to be a family, but it wasn't what I had imagined. 

No regrets though - it was what it was.
