Can anyone recommend a good play saucer? My 4-month-old son is getting bored with his playmat - looking to get him a saucer to do something new.

Skip hop activity center was great for our son. We’ve turned it into a play table now that he can climb/walk. Our daycare had a jumper which he enjoyed as well. Also the joovy spoon walker was the best once he could start standing. Just wide enough that his fingers were never caught when running into walls/chairs.

If you haven’t already, you will discover that for most kid equipment in the sub $100 range, it will seem like one SKU has 90% marketshare. It is a space where killer products rule. In those cases, save yourself some brain power and ride the tide of crowd wisdom. Seriously, we all have the same crap.

You will see a lot more variety for the expense hardware (especially safety gear) e.g. crib, stroller, and car seats. You also see lots of variety on the more intimate goods, like bottles and sleep sacks, where kid preference (and success rates) matters a bunch.

Examples (at the moment): aforementioned saucer, stand n play (also Skip Hop), sippy cups (Munchkin 360), scooters (Micro Mini/Maxi), 3 season shoes (Native), mid/rain/snow boots (Bogs), walker (Vtech sit to stand), bib (Tomme Tipper or BabyBjorn with the catcher).

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?

Has anyone dealt with parents that never listens to what you actually need? All I need is support and empathy, but they always hand me oranges when I ask (specifically for apples). They think they are doing their best to care for me. But when I explain that I’m not happy at work and all they do is shame me for not being strong or smart enough for it. They ignore me when I keep coming out to them as gay (had to do it multiple times), and still keeping asking me to get a bf. I’m so bottled and mad

My daughter just turned 14 months and she’s so fun! Starting to walk and talk. She says dada all the time. It’s just amazing. I’m looking for suggestions on things to do together. The weather is terrible so we are mostly in the house. She doesn’t really like to read but she loves it when we make up stories and do voices with her stuffed animals. She also loves playing with blocks and stacking toys.
