Good morning! Today is MHs birthday. I have bought him nothing but cards so far. I am going to run to Barnes and noble before I go and pick up my sister. She has offered to babysit while we go to the movies. I also want to buy a cake. I haven't decided where from though.

Morning! I'm taking A to a playgroup at one of the neighbourhood schools, so hopefully that's good. I was planning to walk over, buuuut it starts in 20min and she's still dawdling over breakfast. So, yeah, we will be taking a <2min car ride.
I had an interview for the supervisor position today. The manager was asking me about my maternity leave and what my plans are for that. I don't really feel like that was a fair question or should even be part of the discussion.

Just had my 6 week postpartum appointment. Can't believe R is 6 weeks old tomorrow, and I'm half way through with maternity leave.
bwisco123 my child hates sleep too. Nap time is hit or miss most days. Bed time is an hour, sometimes more, of her playing in her crib before finally falling asleep. It makes me nuts! And it has been like this for weeks on end. I recently put a pillow and comforter in bed with her because she was also waking up middle of the night because she was cold. It has helped.

I agree they should not have been asking about that at all.

Maybe someone else will have more insight, but that also feels like she could possibly be setting herself up for a lawsuit. You could in turn say that if you don't get the position, it was because of your impending maternity leave and that's discrimination. I'm not saying you'll turn around and sue in the event that you don't get the position, just that it is super unprofessional of her, for that part.
That's what I thought too. Like, why even bring that up? I wouldn't even want to toe that line if anything that could be interpreted as discrimination. I guess I wanted to guagw if others thought this was out of line as well.

Not sure of the laws in your state but asking those questions here is illegal. Sorry you had to deal with that. People suck.

I mean, I kind of understand their reason behind asking, like having to find a temporary replacement for while you are, but still doesn't make it ethical or legal. Definitely falls into discrimination either way now.
I can see it from that perspective too. Like, how's this going to get done when you're not here? I was just really blindsided by that question.

I also see why they would want to ask that but I'm not sure if they can/should.
I've been asked some really stupid stuff on interviews before. I'm sorry. It sucks.

That's a conversation to be had after you're hired.

True. I already work for this manager so regardless of which position I am in at the time of my leave, they are going to need to cover me. I don't really see why we needed to have a specific conversation about it during my interview. If I'm offered the job, sure I agree we need a game plan but not before.
honda13, hopefully the interviewer was just getting an idea of what to do because she thinks you'll get the job, but yeah she's not supposed to ask that.
So H was very against me and W going to FL so here I sit on my back deck with my coat on pretending.
He works from 6-6 everyday and is planning on fishing after work 3 days this week. It's not like he'd be missing W too much more if we weren't here.
Next year I'll have 2 kids, so flying solo with them seems impossible for the next several years. This was my last chance for a long while and W is actually at a great age for travel and enjoying vacation.
Guise. Why doesn't my kid enjoy sleep?!? Is there a sleep regression at 2??? 😩😩😴😴
Augh!!! We have been dealing with this for almost 2 months!!!! It started with him getting croup about 5 weeks ago (ok...so maybe less than 2 months...but feels like longer.) Since then he has been waking and wont go back down until we bring him into bed. And he was a solid 11-12 hrs of sleep in his crib up until the damn croup. And just this past weekend he came down w a cold. So he has been sleeping in bed w us. It is KILLING ME!!! We have never really co-slept consistently. So we are ALL uncomfortable. Even him!!! He is so used sprawling out in his crib, rolling around, scrunching up in a corner. Basically he has a party in his crib in his sleep.
After the croup and before the cold, for that brief moment when he was healthy I wondered if his sleep just got messed up bc of fhe croup. Or if there was some type of sleep regrerssion. I hate having to do sleep training all over agin.
I can see it from that perspective too. Like, how's this going to get done when you're not here? I was just really blindsided by that question.

Totally agree, it is something I would WANT to ask just because I want to know what the future may look like in terms of coverage...but as a professional I know that I CANNOT and SHOULD NOT ask. It's just stupid to open yourself up to that kind of HR nightmare.
Hai, I'm here. Tired. DH and I are ships passing this week. I got back at 2am this morning and less than 12 hours later he's on his way to Mexico for work. And apparently M was up at 11 and 12:30 last night and then when I got home she woke up and was screaming for a while then. Poor kid. And she threw up right after we got home from the library, though she doesn't seem sick at all, she was still running around and playing. IDK. We did all finally sleep until 8:45 though. And I have showered, planned meals, unpacked, and gone to the grocery store. DH survived with her, though he did do a couple weird things. I still need to fold the diapers he left and work out, if my AF cramps will let me.
So H was very against me and W going to FL so here I sit on my back deck with my coat on pretending.

Why was he so against it? The flight is SUPER cheap. Did he say you couldnt go or just that he would rather you didnt. My H woukd say "I think it's not a good idea or I'm not in favor of that idea because xyz....but it is ultimately up to you."
linny12 what a bummer? Like you said, it's not like he'd be missing out on a ton of family time. Hell he should look at it as a little fishing vacation before #2 comes along.

He said "I'd be pretty upset if you did." And left it at that. Meh, I may still push it tonight til he gets so annoyed that he gives in.
