Sideways was the only one that worked for my oldest.

My oldest is 4 and she takes no BS. She is so strong-willed it can be absolutely maddening. As much as I fear parenting her is going to be rough, I hope she maintains her spirit. She feels all her feelings in quite a big way, for better or worse. She has always been this way. I truly hope it sticks. I’ve had strangers tell me that she’s the type that is going to run the world.

My other one is 2.5-ish. She is so tuned in with others’ feelings, it’s pretty incredible. She likes to make sure everyone has their napkins and dinner and utensils and everything before she’ll sit. If she keeps this up, she’s going to be taking care of everyone all the time. That’s not a bad thing. The world needs some more of her empathy.

As you see their personalities emerge, it’s hard not to feel confident in them and hopeful that you’ll also feel proud of the decisions they make on their own.

Successfully uses the potty as a bedtime stall. It’s the only time she consistently goes potty on the potty.

Godspeed

“stuff I never thought I’d say”

I registered a bunch of baby products like the crib and stroller because I wanted to be notified if there was a recall.

Are they closer to one or two?

How’s it going now?

FMLA is job protection and is not about pay. Not every job offers sick time. I don’t know what percentage of salary STD covers. IIRC FMLA is only applicable to larger companies.

People shouldn’t have to dig into sick time or take Short Term Disability after having a baby just to maybe get paid for a few days or weeks, maybe at 100% if they’re lucky.

That’s a lot of data flying about.

How is this not a crappy article about a crappy PR?

Maybe self censored “shit”?

Not yet, I definitely got ahead of myself. I used to mod my bump sub! There can definitely be drama in a closed group.

In my experience, it’s better when people are accountable for defined stories without scope creep in the name of being agile. Or having entirely blank story descriptions “that will be filled in later” but make sure you add a story point!

This looks incredible!

Sure, you’ll get that… Along with ads for coffee subscriptions.

Stating other obvious things, I’d guess.

Haha mess then bath for sure!

We’ve raced cars around, made paper airplanes, the 3 yr old made me draw everything she could think of. I like these ideas. Some won’t work with the 18 month old but you’ve given me ideas for her too. Thank you!
