Be honest that you wanted to stay home until your children were in school. Don't be sheepish about it, be proud.

NP: Think of anything you did re staying in touch with people and aware of issues and trends or maintaining/developing relevant skills while you were home, and focus on those. If you can't think of anything, realize that lots of people who stay in a job they've done for a long time "lose it" as well, and that you are coming back refreshed, energized, motivated, and with new perspective.

Get used to the fact that unless you have a personal contact within the company, you won't get responses from emailed resumes and online applications. If you want to go back to work, start networking directly.

Wait, I thought she did reprimand him, just didn't want to spank him. Also, where are you getting that he is "touching her." Sounded to me like he was teasing her.

is he touching her sexually? my two kids (b/g) both make contact in an attempt to hit/hurt. i tell them both must stop b/c they will start to cry/whine and i get a headache. when they are both 13 and can fend for themselves, they can go at it with reprieve. doesn't always work, though.

I went from middle class to rich. You have to be discreet about your money, you can talk about going to the Hamptons, but don't mention that you have a 20 million dollar home there. Etc. People who brag about their money usually don't have it.

this could be b/c i am aspie. i am from lmc and went to uc. but before i was uc b/c dh, i was umc on my own. i went on a date couple of times with some very white shoe sort of guy. i met a friend of his who was working at some company that had filed for bankruptcy. i knew about it b/c we had position in their debt at my job. the company was going to turn around (ie not dissolve) and i casually mentioned, "oh, you guys just filed for bankruptcy." and my date was mortified that i brought up "money" that way. i thought that was weird. but there's also a cultural aspect to being umc. when my family went to visit someone, we never brought gift with us and we never expected any when we hosted. we would have these very nice meals "because guests were coming" and it never occurred to us to be offended if nothing was given in return. it's the little things and nuances.

You could strip it down into component parts and eBay if you want to recoup some cash. So the seat unit. Carrycot fabrics, seat fabric, wheels etc. Bugaboo parts go for good money. Bugaboo customer service is good. Another option if the cassis is beyond repair would be to buy a replacement and reuse your wheels, seat, carrycot. I

We have a city select and there's a lifetime warranty on the frame. They sent me a whole new frame and wheel when I had an issue. Try going direct to the manufacturer or through the store where you got it. A $900 stroller should make it through all your kids - even if your last name is Duggar.

You need to buy a new frame, you can try CL or buy a used bugaboo stroller with good frame and swap it. Either way it will cost you money, because you are beyond warranty.

did your second just take to the breast better or did you get help with it? I just don't know why it didn't work the first time around but if I can get this one on the breast then your arrangement sounds excellent. At how many weeks were you able to generate enough milk for this?

Yes, second was and is big eater! Also, I demanded lactation consultant come in to hospital room on day of delivery to assure I had right latch. Honestly, I think second babies also tend to be easier as moms are more relaxed. Because second was better latcher,, he emptied breasts better and my supply was great from get go. Had night nurse start was soon as we got back from hospital at 5/6 days old.

Sadly, I've seen many similar ads for nanny positions. Some people are nuts. There's one lady who pops back up on sittercity every few months, usually sooner. Her ads get crazier and crazier, she doesn't even post her first name, and she actually changed her screen name a few months back-- made me wonder if her first account got suspended (and that's unheard of!).

I don't know what she'd base the nice on. Her dc and mine have never been in the same class. She came up to me completely blind last year because her bf had been to see my DH for some work and she thought we should all get to know each other. Oblivious to the fact that my DH has zero interest in getting to know patients. No other reason to come up to me blindly like that.

Maybe people view me this way. I'm always drawn to women 10-20 years older because my own mother is a controlling bitch. I need a replacement.

im sorry but you sound insecure. That might not be the case but the fact that you keep mentioning her looks makes it seem that way. Why don't you give it a shot. Her guys prob a a-hole and she's lonely, needs some female companionship.

OP - let me put it this way, she kept trying to nail me down to a pool party date today where my DH would be available. Thank God it's one time when I can honestly say he's never available.

Really, do you invite Playboy playmates over to your house to hang out with your DH? Sometimes it's ok to be a little insecure and paranoid.

Actually she met DH when she went in with the bf. DH says he doesn't remember her specifically. I figure if he had then she wouldn't be making such an effort to get to know me. And, I'm talking, write my cell phone number down the day I met her.

From what I know, her dc is with either a former boyfriend or DH from when she was obviously really young. She said she left him and I have no indication he's in the picture. Her current bf has an ex-wife with at least one kid because the day we went to her house last year she said he had "visitation" but I didn't ask more. He's well off enough. The house is plain but well-appointed. Very little furniture or stuff inside - modern look; very much a guy's house if you know what I mean.

She didn't know me enough to know whether or not I would be nice. For all she knew I could have been a crazy person; the only thing she knew about me was my DH. And obviously, she took the time to figure out who I was, to introduce herself to me. That meant research. Sorry, I find that creepy.

Maybe she is already doing your DH and wants to be friends with you, so that she has a legitimate reason to "be" with him when you are not around. Instead of the sneaking around they are doing now. Late 40s men love attn from late 20s women.

If that were the case I think I'd be pinging in other directions. Right now she's just trying to be friends with me, and I haven't even told DH except for the one time. He says he doesn't care what I do but he's not going to just go hang out with people I meet.

It's not fake. She could just be super friendly, but I still can't figure out why she pinpointed me in the first place. I have never, ever gone to a professional where I found out they lived in my town, and then stalked down their wife to be friends. Ever.

I would hang out with her, but always when DH is not present, basically limit his exposure to her. Pool parties only if DH is not present. If she starts mentioning or being concerned about your DH not being present, maybe then she has an agenda.

She already has. This afternoon I mentioned we were busy for the next few weeks but would be free in mid July. She said "great so your DH can come over, too" and I said, no, we're mostly free because he's on a business trip. And she said, "well then let's not do it then, let's make it for a time he can be there."

I have a SAHM friend who is really cool. It's not because of anything job or hobby related. She's just one of those people that are really positive and fun to be around. Also she is a devout Catholic and somehow makes her faith seem fun and cool-- is never holier-than-thou or overbearing about it.

My dd is also a senior and has been to two of them. All fine. Know your kid. Talk to her about your fears re her drinking and let her know your rules regarding drinking. But be realistic. Tell her that she can call you at any time that she feels uncomfortable and you will come pick her up anywhere, any time, no matter what condition she or her friends are in - no questions at that time.

This is funny. Whenever I post on here about trying to find a man over 30, I get a million (fake?) responses saying, "Don't worry, I met my DH at 38 and by 42 we had 3 kids!"

I was 31! Many of my friends met their dh's in their early 30s. To be honest, I don't know a ton of couples who met later.
