Two of our upper management employees left and new hire requisitions have been denied. Since the two employees were Operations, that leaves me as the only personnel on the team with some knowledge as I have a background in both IT and Operations. Rest of the team is strictly IT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-129253 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:29:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 129253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hosting a bridal shower at my house on Sunday so I'm stressing about my house being perfect for that. This will be the first time most of my extended family has seen it, and I wish I would have gotten the carpets cleaned. </p> <p>Also general housecleaning has been a thorne in my side, I can't keep up like I used too and my DH isn't stepping up as much as he promised. I think it's time to look into someone coming in every other week to help me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-129191 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:04:49 +0000 MsLipGloss 129191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinnieBee: I haven't talked to them about it . . . yet . . . but I know that several women here who are (or have been) on part-time status, so it wouldn't be a new or novel concept. I am really lucky that there have been at least 6 women who have had babies in the past 2-2.5 years, so the way has been paved. When I told one of my bosses that I planned to return full-time he said, "we'll see . . . " I'm sure that was his experience talking. Part-time options were also discussed with me during the interview process, so maybe I just need to suck up my pride and ask about it. </p> <p>And yeah, the loss of income would be a consideration, but we would be okay on just DH's salary, so it's more of an issue to me and what I feel like I bring to the table. Although sanity is worth (double!) its weight in gold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-129166 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 07:55:31 +0000 LivsMama 129166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>whether I want to keep working or not .I dont.

I mini-lectured her recently about it.</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: Have you talked to them about part time work post-baby? The women in my office have gone back 4 days, or 75% billable hour time and pay. Major pay cut, but I'm going to do it for our sanity. </p> <p>I'm mainly just concerned about going into pre-term labor again but following doctor's orders and just laying around to prevent it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-129043 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 04:56:22 +0000 Andrea 129043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just the usual mile long to do list for work and personal things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-129035 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 03:57:01 +0000 mediagirl 129035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's health, my messy house, the four house guests I'll have this weekend and preparing my house for the shower this weekend.

Very stubborn about not getting his health checked up. And he thinks he doesn't have to worry about his health because there's medicine for most thungs. Luckily, we can we can now encourage him to see the doctors and try to be healthy for the sake of my LOs.</p> <p>LO has been sick back to back. Ear infection a week ago and now roseola. She is just miserable :(<br /> I'm at a crossroads with work and really have to evaluate what I want to be doing next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-128968 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:53:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 128968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: aw i totally understand that. </p> <p>gosh i'm stressed out about everything in my life. but mostly about wanting to work twice as much as I already do. feeling guilty about wanting to work so much. and how much i slack on everything related to the household (cooking, cleaning, organizing) because i prioritize work and kids over everything, including personal time and husband time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-128961 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:49:53 +0000 MsLipGloss 128961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keeping up with work--performing at the level I know I need to--while also taking care of myself and not pushing too hard when my body tells me I should be resting. I plan to go back to work full-time after butterbean arrives, but part of me wonders about what would happen if I didn't. We would be fine on DH's income, but I hate the idea of everything being his burden. It will all resolve itself, and I am pretty sure that I would be happier with at least working part-time which may be an option, but it is making me incredibly anxious lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-128960 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:49:33 +0000 cyneswith 128960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Husband is due to either hear that his job is disappearing, moving, or staying here - and our getting into a house depends on that. I don't want to move before baby comes, in the third trimester, or before the baby is a few months old. Fortunately, he does have a guaranteed position with his company, but if his current position is nixed, we'll have to move to another state - and I like my midwife here.</p> <p>My mom was also just diagnosed with diabetes and my dad with high cholesterol/blood pressure. My grandfathers are both in poor health. Both sets of grandparents will be living on my parents' property by the end of the year. Those aren't major stresses for me, but I am concerned for my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-128931 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:33:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 128931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's sleep schedule. Somedays he does so great, taking two 2-hour naps and going to bed at 8pm. But half the week is like today, never sleeping for more than 20 minutes unless he's in my arms.

Makes me sad actually. :( TTC is very stressful so i totally get it. Hope you get your BFP very very very soon!!!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: I try to remind her all the time but she always makes excuses. She said she's afraid of hearing bad news. Which I understand cause who wants to pay someone to tell them bad news. But if there was something bad, it could get worse by not treating it early. She gets it but she still doesn't wanna go. sigh...</p> <p>@mrsdaredevil: Money problems suck booty. We're not saving a whole lot right now and every month, we have to dip into our savings. I'm worried about what will happen once we have our new baby. sigh. I'm sorry you have to go through money stresses right now. Money and health are always my two biggest worriest. Nothing else compares to that for me. =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-128727 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:58:56 +0000 heffalump 128727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too many things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-been-stressing-you-out-the-most-lately#post-128726 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:49:18 +0000 MsMini 128726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My PIH is stressing me out today, I spent hours this morning in LDR being monitored to make sure baby is okay, then more time getting blood work and such to make sure I am still okay, then making a plan for monitoring over the next week so I can make it to my planned induction day (hopefully).
