Because my husband recently started a new job, it makes a lot of sense for me to have primary parenting responsibility now, and I want to support him as he gets established at the new company. But I also have a demanding job, and oftentimes I just feel like the maid in addition to being the mom, as I handle all the household chores. I think I need to look into getting a cleaning service, though really what I wish I could outsource is cleaning dr brown bottles and laundry :silly: I had to have a talk with my husband yesterday about please throwing away his own trash, and I really, really wish he'd stop complaining about being tired to me, given that I do all the night wakings and my infant has been going through a horrible sleep regression lately. Really, I just want to feel appreciated.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/job-description-per-nyt#post-2819190 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 22:28:01 +0000 LCTBQE 2819190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: yes, THAT ONE :meh: I don't remember the last novel I read. </p> <p>@Hypatia: didn't know, love/hate knowing.</p> <p>@Mama Bird: hahaha totally. she also didn't mention willingness to put up with physical abuse from coworkers in the form of being hit in the face, having your hair pulled and being bitten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/job-description-per-nyt#post-2819187 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 22:06:48 +0000 Hypatia 2819187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: Yep, just pretreat with it overnight, then throw it in the wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/job-description-per-nyt#post-2819186 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 22:04:41 +0000 Mama Bird 2819186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: ooh.

Provide verbal CliffsNotes version to adult partner who apparently can’t read these same books although you know for a fact he’s a college graduate because that’s where you guys met. You actually studied together. He’s capable of reading, processing and retaining volumes upon volumes of complex information. Nevertheless. Observe verbal CliffsNotes go in one ear and out the other." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/job-description-per-nyt#post-2819167 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 20:26:03 +0000 SweetiePie 2819167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/job-description-per-nyt#post-2819115 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 13:16:15 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2819115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! 😀 Oh, yes.
