That sounds like a good match. You need to convey your own parenting style and expectations at the beginning so there is no conflict.

Lots of nannies have their own children. If you want a nanny with zero opinions in children, hire someone with no experience

I specifically looked for a nanny with adult (or older teen) children. I wanted someone who had been a mother but who did not currently have young children at home. I think it's a big plus.

I think this actually has the potential to make you a pretty tough person to get along with. I feel like people who say "I'm direct, I say what's on my mind" are cheating the system by deliberately circumventing the social norms we've created to make life even remotely palatable. I mean, the reason for tact and social judgement is because life would be fairly unlivable if we all just said whatever we thought to those around us whenever we felt like it. It would be nothing but anger, and rage and aggression directed at whomever seemed to be in front of us.

+1. It is probably fine, but that is lazy. My db wasn't small, but did have trouble putting on weight at first and 2oz really mattered. My doc even wanted to make sure she weighed db on the same scale each time. The diaper would not weigh the same thing each time depending on if it is wet or not.

This would bother me too. Sounds like the nurse is being lazy. 2 oz is significant with a newborn. Can you bring it up to the pediatrician? Just ask if that's their standard procedure?

Unless your db is high risk, 2 oz either way won't matter, within rounding error. I wouldn't sweat it. Besides, the newborn stage is over so quickly.

She just doesn't want him peeing all over the scale, which is kind of understandable. Still, you're the mom and she should be able to accomodate your wishes. And tell her to get his length and head circumference right, ffs. Bring it up with the doc if it's making you this concerned and just say what you posted here.

It's petty because it's something that started as a courtesy, and now it has become expected. It's just like people who throw a birthday party just for the presents. If you want to charge admission to your get-together, then be up front about it. With that said, I always bring a gift for my host.

So true. Don't show up empty handed. Also, if someone is hosting you overnight or for multiple nights, and if they are cooking for you and your children and cleaning up after you, some kind of generosity on your part is appropriate. Do not assume that sending a token after is sufficient.

I really don't understand people who think like you do. I THRIVE on having other people around to share time with. I love entertaining, I love a busy, active house with too many kids and somebody running out to the store to buy another piece of meat because more people showed up than we thought. I feel like if I had a beach house I'd be extending TOO many invitations and people would have to make excuses to not show up every weekend. But, hey, that's my thing.

I guess. But growing up my family was very into entertaining, and parties, and having people over, so I kind of grew up with the idea that a full house is a happy house. This is actually the reason I haven't yet decided to buy a summer place - because I'm afraid it will be me, my wife and two kids in a country house, and what fun is that? Unless I can fill it with friends and family there's really no interest in it for me.

I'm sorry to hear that! Hang in there- when we were WL someone told me to keep checking in with the school on a weekly basis. I hope it works out for you!

We were on the wait list a few years ago and our parent coordinator told me what number we were. We didn't get a spot until July. Also, we were sent a letter from the DOE with an alternative school which was NOT GOOD! It was on the opposite side of town and was a crappy gen ed school.

Given that close to half the pop is on food stamps under Obama, I figure the 1% is paying plenty for others' groceries.

DD took the SATs in March - the admission ticket requires a downloaded photograph and the test center requires two forms of photo ID. Now, I'm not saying that paying someone to take the test is impossible, but the idea that you would personally know ELEVEN kids who cheated this way, and ALL of whom got a perfect score, and ALL of whom got into Harvard, seems statistically unlikely. Sorry.

That is very recent. Big scandal in LI last year. Even now, kids get phony ID, use others.

Buy a duplicate item from the registry, like additional dishware, glasses, etc. Or GC to the registry store.

I had Cobra for 18 months from my FT job after severance ended, then I got the contract in 2011 when that ran out. The contract allowed me to have COBRA for 18 months. That ran out in March, and I called the medical company and they allowed me to continue health insurance with them at the same rate. Only thing is I have to manually mail the payment in instead of paying it online. Small price to pay!

I do have plans but I suffer from procrastination. Really bad procrastination (stemming somewhat from severe clinical depression). Unfortunately it is put up or shut up time as this point, as my savings is only about $25,000 and I do not want to touch the 401k. I keep telling myself that Memorial Day is the end and after that looking for a job is full-time, 10 hours a day. Hopefully I will stick to it. I have a list of contacts and jobs that interest me, and I have been researching what to say to HR when one has long bouts of unemployment. My LinkedIn recs gathered in the past and others recs (letterhead saved on my PC) are stellar, so maybe that will help a bit.
