Update for those who care - first night was rather rough. Did 3,5,7,10,15,20 minute intervals before she was down the first time. Then she slept for about 2 hours and was back at it for another barrage of check-ins. Hoping tonight improves!

Keep it up, it’ll get better! It’s tough for sure.

Night 2 update - put her down drowsy but awake and she cried for about 4 minutes. Right before I went in for the first time at 5 minutes, she stopped and just started wiggling around a bit. She fell asleep about 10 minutes later. I passed out and woke up at 7am to her still fast asleep! Hoping we're through to the other side

Congrats, that’s awesome. Our 5 MO is currently an awful sleeper. I can’t imagine sleeping through the night.

Night 3 update - last post! Little one wiggled for 5 minutes when I put her down. No crying at all. Slept 8pm until I woke her up at 8am. Thank God it's over!

My wife was adamant not to ferberize the baby. Daughter is now 2.5 and we still have to rock her to sleep or lay by her side. Baby 2 is on the way and you better believe that we’re ferberizing that baby

Not a fan. But good luck!

We did that too! Just prepare yourself for the crying, that was the hardest part. We both wanted to give in but stayed strong

Took us three nights. First really sucked. By the third he was down after 5 mins. He’s 18 months now and he’s very consistent going to sleep in his crib when he’s tired. Every kid is different of course but really helped us when we were about at your point. He sleeps we regained some sanity

How was night #2

Congratulations ! Thinking ahead for my 2nd kid, is 6 months the appropriate age to start this?

We did it at around 5 months.

Working remotely for a tech co and still can't get over how much more time I get to spend with my kids. To be honest, this alone is worth so much more than money can buy. For those who plan well, I really think exiting can be worth it if family is a priority. It's really helped my marriage also, I'm a lot kinder to my wife with way less stress.

Anyone else struggling with hormones / mood swings? I am almost 16 weeks and been having a real tough time lately, feeling really down and stressed about things.

How much do you share with your coworkers? I never really share much of my personal life with coworkers, but my team shares a lot about themselves & their family. I usually ask about their lives, deflecting the question. Is this weird? Am I being too cautious?

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Hey folks,
Can someone tell what is the process to hire a contractor in amex ?
I am working as a contractor since Nov ‘21

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
