I think there are lots of Tik toks that have useful remote opportunities:)

My baby is five months. When I went back to work it was a challenge. I have an accommodation for lactation time so I can feed him so that helps. My baby also loves independent play so I got a playpen for my office, and he has his favorite toys in there that keep him entertained until he's ready for a nap. Then we repeat the process. I will say I have a good baby so it hasn't been too tough, but if I have a meeting I make sure his needs are met prior.

We have a nanny but even a "mothers helper" like a high schooler would be a good option if you work remote and have flexibility to assist/monitor them often

We struggle.. but we adjust 🙃

Loads of snacks and toys ready, routine needs to be stuck to at all cause, preplanning the day and meetings.. god forbid babys teething or sick and that routine goes off, its flight mode😭

What do you wipe first?

Okay moms, important science question of the day:
When you’re on your period and you have a bowel movement on the toilet…which do you wipe first - the front or the back?

And please don’t tell me you’re wiping from back to front… that’s how you spread things that should never be spread. 😅😭

Is this valid?

I’m not sure if any of you SAHMs feel the same way, but I personally miss working. I don’t want anyone else to look after my daughter, I’d rather it be me or my husband. But that’s the only reason I don’t work. At home I just feel like I’m never doing enough and my life is going nowhere. Slowly working on being better at keeping up with all the chores and spending more quality time with my daughter because she needs that. But everything feels like an endless cycle. There’s always dishes to be washed, flooring to be swept or mopped, toys to be picked up. And I’m near all of it 24/7 because we only have one car and no disposable income. It’s rather suffocating. I miss people. Real life people. That aren’t my husband and daughter, that I can just talk to and see. This first year pp has me feeling like I’ve been drowning because I don’t have any family or friends here and I’ve tried so hard to meet people but they’ve all fizzled out. Is there something wrong with me? I can’t help but ask that question every day. I struggle with MDD though so I have depressive episodes like this often and maybe that’s the only reason I feel this way. Idk.
