Lurking mom in the Dad bowl. We had our first - she’s 7 months now. What would you want for Father’s Day? With my job and baby in daycare, he doesn’t want a day off/away.

In that case, why not take the day off and take the baby out of daycare, and arrange for a day trip somewhere or a family day at the zoo?

I would love that, personally 😀

I actually view Father’s Day as a day to celebrate being a dad. I try to do something special with my kids and love whatever homemade thing they give me. If your husband travels I’d recommend something easy to take with him that has a handprint or something

I don't understand what you mean when you say your job and the baby in daycare means he does not want a day off/away. Can you explain?

Said differently (contrapositive), are you saying that he would want a day off/away if either your job were different or if the baby was not in daycare?

My wife just wanted a day trip to a local state park but our daughter is just over a year and could explore a bit. He could also want a weekend trip somewhere? If you can get a family member to come, you could escape for a date night dinner while she sleeps.

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams.

With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family. We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.

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?

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.
