Hello moms. I want to switch to safer cleaning products. Method or Mrs Meyers or Seventh Generation? Which do you prefer and why?

Just use vinegar water! This is my go to for 90% of cleaning. When I need a deeper disinfectant I use a green cleaner, not sure the brand.

I used Seventh Generation diapers and other products that came in contact with my babies’ very sensitive skin with good luck. I like method cleaning products. I also really like Norwex cleaning supplies.

Spray bottles of water / vinegar / sometimes essential oil if I’m feeling fancy. For stone counter I use water / little dish soap in a spray bottle.
I don’t have to fill them often and I save a hell of a lot of plastic waste this way.

Tougher stuff sometimes I mix baking soda w the vinegar.

Bio clean to clean pipes monthly ti keep the plumber away.

Carpet cleaner - haven’t figured this one out yet :)

A lot of the products out there are “green washed”, so I’d look up which ones on Google if you don’t want to do the above

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…

Anyone have three kids and working in big law?

My husband and I are elated, but the anxiety of being a mom of 3 kids and working in big law is preventing me from truly enjoying this news. It would be good to know what it’s really like having 3 kids so that I can evaluate how long I really have left in big law.

Hey, would really like some advice here.

Recently graduated and am looking for full time roles. I've had four different internships, the last two in tech, and I've been doing marketing, specifically Product Marketing and looking for full time roles there. I was recently offered a role as a Product Marketing Associate - the team members sound great and responsibilities sound really up my alley, but they are locked in at 50k. I understand I'm a new grad and all, but is this a low-ball offer?

I had hoped this formula shortage would be solved by now but every week I go to the store the shelves are mostly empty. How have new moms been getting by? I am due in a few weeks and nursing didn't work for me with my first. My milk never came in despite all the crazy hoops my lactation consultant had me due. Just feeling anxious about keeping a newborn fed with the shortage

Hi Moms. I’m 4.5mo postpartum with my first, and I’m having incredible feelings of resentment toward my husband, who I love dearly and with whom I’ve always had a great relationship. It feels like he’s not factoring me or the baby into his decisions (e.g. going on a 4d boys trip, attending big events), while I’m left with the consequences. My mat leave is ending, and he’s now sick with COVID. He’s quarantining at my in-laws while I return to work and take care of baby. I’m so frustrated… (cont.)

A month ago I gave my boss a formal letter requesting a review of my current job duties and a salary adjustment and title change. I’m performing at a senior level and not being paid for it. She agreed with the argument and submitted request to HR. Last week I asked her for an update and she casually said it will probably take three more months bc HR is so backed up and dropped it. I’m grossly underpaid and getting more tasks daily. What can I do? Can this be retroactive? I’m so fed up.

How do you manage going back into public accounting as a first time mom? Our first kid is due this summer and I’ve been having conversations with my husband on plans for going back to work post-maternity leave. He is not in accounting and works ~35 hr weeks while I’ve been at 50-70 hr weeks (and enjoy my work). He is worried about my ability to be there for mom duties and also fully commit to work so curious on how other working moms have managed this - especially type A personalities. Thanks!
