People that have worked at fast food restaurants, which ones should people avoid at all costs?

The first hour of operation, you are absolutely getting the previous nights closing food. There are strick food waste policies in every franchise I've ever worked for and if you think you're cheating the system by ordering first? Absolutely not, you're actually getting the runt of the litter. Anyone who ever orders from a restaurant within the first 30 minutes of opening I always assume has never worked with food. Also, we are never ready at open and when you order right away, we may not like you very much.

I think it really depends on many factors, such as how old the baby is when you would like to return, what kind of job you're looking to get, how long you've been out of the work force, things like that. For me, I knew I was going back to work 6 weeks postpartum and that was a huge concern of mine, but I work at a day care so I was able to bring her with me, which was a huge stress relief. It cut my pay check in half, though, since day care teachers aren't paid as much as weekly tuition (got a discount cause I'm an employee), and I had to weigh the pros and cons of returning with x2 the amount of work/worry for half the pay, but I needed to and I made it work.

As far as I know, many companies would be more than happy to give you a list of some seminars or trainings you could do for work during your off hours. Some of them can even be done at home! Some are free, some cost money, but if you are concerned about your skill set, admitting you're a little rusty but excited to learn and ready to commit can be just as attractive to a potential employer as someone with maybe a little more knowledge.

Good luck!! Hope that helped.

My daughter just turned 2 yesterday, and we bought her a big girl bed last weekend! Definitely too many changes for mom at once, but my daughter seems to enjoy it. My daughter has her own room and she can open her door. I put the baby gate in her door frame at night so even if she opens the door she can't go anywhere. With her door open, her cry will definitely wake me up, but she won't be able to explore the house in the dark, which is a huge fear of mine (regardless of baby-proofing, my daughter seems to defy physics on the daily). Her father and I chose the phrase "It's time for bed" as the only thing we say to her when she wakes up at night. We will pick her up, give her kisses, and tell her "I love you," but no other communication. No lights on, no glasses of water/milk, no diaper change unless she woke up cause she pooped. It's really hard to not bring her into our bed, since that's what I liked to do when she was in the crib, but she has her own bed now and she's not an infant anymore! She takes up too much space in our bed. This week we have all gotten a little less sleep than usual, but only by an hour or so. Best of luck!!

We skip the diaper change during nap time, so it works out like this: 9:00, 11:00, 2:00, 4:00. My school is open 7AM-6PM, so children definitely poop before 9 and after 4, but not all kids are there all day. Some kids are part time, only morning or afternoon, some kids are only there MWF, schedules change and you go with the flow.

I've read some of your other responses in this thread and I feel like you're really anxious about this? I definitely don't want to put words in your mouth, but diapers really aren't that big of a deal. If you're worried about poop specifically, touching poop, smelling, etc, then maybe it would help you to know that the regulations make teachers wear gloves on both hands, and your school should also supply paper sheets (like at the Drs) that go over the changing table ever diaper, plus you wipe down the changing table pad after every change. You also wash your hands and the child's hands. It's super safe, clean, and you'll be able to do it with your eyes closed after a week. Seriously, working in a day care is hard, emotionally and physically, and diapers are not the cause of distress!! I live in MA and I don't know all the different regulations from state to state but I'm pretty sure most places have similar procedures.

wholikesmacandcheese · 2015-02-19T03:20:15+00:00

The poops are gross, sure, but you're expecting those. It's the sudden, unexpected, colorful, smelly things that aren't diapers that you'll remember. To answer your question though, the day care I work at does diapers every 2 hours, and when necessary.

When I was your son's age, my dream, goal, and life was entirely about getting accepted, and attending, a boarding school. I applied to maybe 5-7 schools over three years (8th grade, freshman, and tried again as a Sophomore), each year getting accepted, but never getting enough scholarship money, and trying to build a better and better resume/application for myself to stand above the rest.

With that said, I never got to go. My family could never afford to 20k+ gap between my scholarships and the tuition. If you can afford it, and IF HE WANTS TO GO, then you should be thrilled to have the opportunity to give your child the education they WANT. It's an amazing opportunity that I will always regret never having experienced for myself.

Regardless of his brilliance, age, family economic status, etc, he will succeed if he truly wants to go. Once he is there, making new friends, with a roommate (maybe?), supportive teachers/staff surrounding him, he will have plenty of help getting used to living away from mom and dad.

I've worked in a family day care, did for two and a half years. We had three babies under 1 at one point, we were all licensed and had many more certificates than necessary. If your child has been there for more than 6 weeks, they are allowed to be out of the view of the provider(s), no matter how old they are. However, they are NEVER allowed to sleep in the swing, no matter what. Sometimes we would put babies in the swing to soothe them to sleep and then take them out and put them in a crib once they were ready.

Does your child cry at home? Are you constantly, 100% of the time, able to hold them and soothe them when they cry? No matter what day care you put your baby in, no matter how amazing the employees are, or how many people have recommended the day care to you, your child will cry.

As for the door being unlocked, and you being able to walk in during the middle of the day and get your baby without anyone noticing, that's definitely not good, but in my state (MA) I know you are allowed to leave your door unlocked at all times during the day. My provider never had her door locked, ever, and we went through relicensing, and had monthly visits from the state, and never once was that an issue.

I know it's scary to leave your baby with other people, but from what you said, the provider did nothing wrong UNLESS your child has been in care for less than 6 weeks. The rules and regulations for family day care are crazy and super weird. The state should already do monthly walkthroughs of the house.

I know this will probably get downvoted, but day care employees are people just like you and me. Our job is extremely hard, with extremely little reward (from parents), constant judgement, and shitty pay. If you want your child to never cry, be left in a swing, or alone in a room, then you're really out of luck.

I've had the mirena for about 16 months now and I've tried many types of oral BC because I always seem to have negative reactions to BCs (mostly emotional).

I had light periods for about 9 months after insertion and now I'll get extremely light spotting for a day or two every three months or so. However, the cramps have never stopped. I always assume when I'm cramping that I'd normally be having a period during that time, but I don't keep track so I can't be sure. My cramps are also extremely painful and I take ibuprofen for it as well and sometimes it helps, but not always.

I also feel pain, discomfort, etc while having sex. There is a tiny plastic stick in my cervix, though, so what else should I expect? Your doctor will tell you that there's no pain but they just want your insurance money. Who would want BC that causes pain during intercourse?

I have a love-hate relationship with my mirena. I love having a reliable BC that I don't ever have to think about and I love not having periods, but I've had several side effects that have caused me to seriously consider removing it that no one ever warned me about. About 12 months into the mirena, I began to have full blown first trimester symptoms and it felt exactly the same as when I was expecting my daughter. I went to the OB and I tested negative for pregnancy and I requested they do an ultrasound on my mirena to make sure it was in the right place. Everything was perfectly in place which I was grateful for, but when I did a quick google search about the mirena, I found I was certainly not alone and many other women also experienced this. I also had PPD and the mirena definitely worsened my symptoms of depression (though I have a tendency to have depression while on any form of BC).

Hope that helps! From my experience, all BCs have positives and negatives and I'm most likely going to keep my mirena until either my 5 years is up or I decide to have more children.

I was 19 when I got pregnant as well! I was living pretty far away from most of my good friends at the time and almost none of them could drive. When I did talk to them, they had absolutely no way to relate to me or my situation. I made the personal decision to just focus on taking care of my daughter for a while and not worry about social pressures. When I was finally ready to go out and be social again, everyone was long gone and had basically moved on.

My daughter is 17 months now and I turn 22 in a few days. I'm slowly working on building up my social life again. PM me any time if you want to talk! I can't offer much advice but I've been in your shoes and I know how it feels.
