We are throwing my daughter 2 parties this year for her second birthday. Trying to keep the parties smaller because some of the people invited are not vaccinated including the kids. Not a debate post. I sent out the menu as we were going to have everyone pick their own meals off a restaurant menu and then each person would get a lunch box with their own dinner. I thought it was a good idea and sent it out to my family last week. My mom tells me today that half of the people coming won’t eat cont

I will be visiting my parents for some time after years of living away from them. Wondering what kind of board games / card games people play with their parents. My parents are not too caught up on current memes so games that need current “popular” knowledge are out.

Hi moms - I have a 4 yr old who started Pre-K this week and we are supposed to send food from home. Looking for options that can be packed in lunch. Cooking everyday seems a lot!😀

The company I am interviewing with is very slow in progress. It is almost a month now and I still have another round of interview...feeling anxious as I wouldn't able to leave until end of October. I am in public accounting. Is it bad (burning relationships) leaving so close to busy season?

My baby starts daycare in 2 weeks, she is 4 months old. I am starting to get concerned about Covid for her since she can’t get vaccinated yet and I’ve heard the Delta variant hits kids harder. Her daycare is taking all of the necessary steps. Are some people still keeping their kids home from daycare to reduce the risk? Or are you sending your kids and just following daycare protocol?

Hi 👋 can I get 11 likes so I can DM someone! Thank you!!!

For new/newer moms- did working from home make a difference when you were pregnant? Does it make a difference for you now (presuming you have some form of childcare while you work)?

EDIT: We just found out we’re pregnant and I’m trying to see if negotiating permanent WFH with a couple of prospective employers is worth it. Not even hybrid appeals to me, tbh

What are people's thoughts on "starting over" with regard to being a bit older and having kiddos?

My partner and I met 3 yrs ago, we're 42 and 44. We both have one child from our previous relationships, his is 19 and mine is 13. We are thinking about having one together but not sure.

Benefits, drawbacks, etc. Anyone have thoughts or experiences to share?

Hey moms! Anyone tried to follow 12 hours of sleep by 12 weeks old? How was your experience? What age was your child?

I listened to the audio book and can't decide if I should start the training of my 3 months old. Taking cara babies methodology states that it's too early to start any sort of sleep training before 5 months. Thoughts?

We are in the process of hiring a nanny to come in from 8am-5pm three days a week while I WFH. What is an appropriate number of paid sick and vacation days we should offer?

Had a bad week. I felt as if I got nothing done. I am the caretaker for my mother, and I have a five-year-old and a truck-driving boyfriend (who is pulls a lot of energy the two days I see him). I’m trying to grow my career and a healthy little girl. Any suggestions on releasing the mental strain.

How does one cope with all the stress of being a working mom plus having a 2.5 year old that has been sick at least twice a month since July? I have no back up care besides my husband and I tag teaming but I took the brunt of that because he works more hours than I do. Now I figured out between my emotions running high due to pregnancy and me being unable to get enough projects done on them, I got a lot of negative feedback. I’m so worried about her being consistently sick and I’m not sure what

This is my first time being pregnant and I don’t have anyone around me that is or was pregnant recently. How is the first check up procedure at the OBGYN? Do they do blood work and ultrasound through the belly? Or is it a transvaginal ultrasound? Can you reject a transvaginal ultrasound? I’m excited but extremely overwhelmed and nervous by the whole procedure. Any feedback would help!

How do you combat imposter syndrome especially at work? I grew up in a mentally abusive house where I was never good enough (smart, skinny, pretty,etc.). I’m in therapy and she’s big into positive affirmations but it’s not tackling the little voice in my head that tells me I’m too stupid for the job that I worked for. I’m curious to see what others have done

Recently I had an emergency that required me to leave work around 10am on a Thursday to take my 5 year old son to the ER. I let my manager know he was going to be admitted and I wouldn’t be at work the next day. Friday morning I get a text at 8:05 asking if I’m coming to work. Not, how’s the little one? You guys okay? I never miss work, ever, and this felt like a complete slap in the face. I’ve wanted to quit for a while, but this is the icing on the cake. Should I say something to my manager?

Hello moms, I need help for our soon to come baby girls name that will rhyme well with « Dorcas ». I really like the name Dorcas but my husband likes hyphenated names such as xxx-Dorcas or Dorcas-xxx. Any suggestions please?

Working moms in advertising - genuine question - what is a (relatively) low stress role in advertising or at an agency / consulting firm? I can’t do always on, high-stress jobs like account / client management anymore and maintain my mental health (I have small kids).

It’s taken a LOT of self honesty to admit this. Maybe I’ll change my mind in the future, but for now, I need a change to be fully present in my personal life and mentally healthy. Thoughts? Ideas? Thank you! 🙏

Currently have 12 years banking experience and an MBA. I’ve always been career driven but now I’m ending my 8 month mat leave soon with my 2nd baby. I’m really torn if I should take a few years off to be a SAHM. We can financially handle it, although it may be a little tight. My biggest concern is getting back into the work force in 2/3 years. Will this decision really impact my career? Maybe I can look into part time work but I don’t even know where to begin to look with banking experience.

New mom here experiencing some burn out that is affecting my home life. I work for a fun brand and love the work I do, but I’m feeling overworked and under appreciated lately. We also just moved our office into the city and, although I only need to go in 2x a week, I can already tell the 1+ hour commute will get old. I’m considering jumping ship and going for a safer, boring job for better work-life balance, but am scared I will miss the fast-paced environment. Anyone go through this?
