SAHM l/ WFH mom’s routine ??

For the SAHM and those that work from home I need help organizing my day. I’m currently not working and I feel guilty cause it feels like there’s never enough time to do stuff. I’m exhausted at the end of the day and I’m wondering how the wfh moms do it. I want to work but I don’t see how right now ??!! My LO is very demanding and attached so I only get some time for myself when I put the tv. Thanks for sharing

Also following. I feel terrible for the amount of screen time we do so I can focus for a solid 45 minutes. I do try to take frequent breaks so that we can have some play time together, but it is a struggle!!! I stay home to be with my kids but then feel guilty when I actually have to work. I wish I could give 100% to everything but I just can’t 😭

it’s hard to give 100% to everything. It’s been almost a year and I’m still struggling…thanks for sharing. May I ask what kinda job you do ?

I work for a government job. Right now it’s very limited phone use- which is great. It does have a lot of time sensitive data entry. So I get a lot of work done when my family is sleeping but then I’m exhausted during the day and still expected to be logged on. I’m also classified as temporary employee so I don’t get any benefits.

I work from home and I'm SAHM looking after almost 11mo.

My work is flexible, as I can choose my hours. I'm a Relationship Manager at a Financial Services organization. I choose 8am -5pm but most days finish 4/4:30.

Baby wakes at 7am so spend time with her feed her. Now that she's crawling she just plays in the office

Has her 1st nap midmorning. I crank out more work.

Then I have lunch and play snuggle with her. Then work some more and let her play in the office.

Goes for 2nd nap mid afternoon. I crank out more work which usually leaves me wrapping up my day.

I have a great team and they don't mind her joining the meetings.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?
