Took my 6 week old on an 8 week road trip through the US. Mix of camping and air bnb. Great age as they can’t run away at that point!

Easier at two months than two years

Need more details on shots. If your 2 mo old has had 8 week shots then you should be fine, but I would consult your pediatrician. My good friend is a pediatrician and he strongly advised I not take my 8 week old on a plane, but car is a different story as there is less exposure

Yes, just make sure you are loaded with all baby stuff

Hell yeah I took my 2 month old to Scotland and London, every baby is different but you know your kid and whether they can handle it or not

But I echo the shots comment, get that done at least a week before the trip. You can get 2 month shots at 6 weeks

We did what EY1 suggested. Once shots are out of the way you’re free for adventures

Lol. No problem at all.

Thank you all!

Of course. Even week old babies do fine on trips. That’s what baby seats are for. Don’t get stressed, she will sleep all the way.

We went around the world in the first few months. Kids are fine.

We took our 7.5 week old to Europe for 10 days (3 countries/4 cities) and she loved it, so I think you’re fine with a road trip!

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

I wish I wasn’t adaptable. Humans aspire for a greater level of comfort and once achieved, adopt that as their new baseline. Because of this, somebody making $100k cannot simply comfortably revert back to a $50k lifestyle. The slow growth of personal wealth isn’t noticed as ideated. Instead, we are never satisfied.

Can you relate? Has your salary / net worth growth dramatically improved your quality of life?

It only took me 7 years to figure this system out.... posting in case it helps anyone else! I color coded my classes and printed off numbers according to the number of kids in my classes. I then assign each kid a number that corresponds with my gradebook. When they turn in their projects, they put their number with it. This way, no contact and I can easily see who has and hasn't turned in their projects yet. I take the list down once they remember their number.
