Yes and grown-ups and do not cry like a baby
Posted By: Why dime her out to people wanting to know. on 2007-04-12
In Reply to: You really are hostile - MTPockets
over some lost time on a newbie! Business is business. Why cry baby about it on this board! This kind of thing happens every day. People do get better offers and this OP wants to cry baby about some lost time! She should have picked someone who was experienced instead of trying to CLAIM she was helping a newbie! I bet if this all came out in the wash, she was only paying a small cpl and wanted a whole lot! I'd bet she's more upset about the fact that she has to do her own work instead of making more than half on someone else. I just don't think a "grown-up" should make accusations of "people stealing information" or try to slander someone's name simply because they cannot support the account. That kind of thing happens every day. If you feel sorry for this OP, you need help more than me. Misery loves company! I'm bitter, but the OP isn't? Who really needs to get over it? Me or the OP or maybe even you!!! tsk tsk on the OP and you! People quit, people make changes, get better offers, cannot put up with being micromanaged, and that is no reason to slander someone! Making false accusations regarding stealing information can also result in a lawsuit. Poor taste in this OP and I hope I never take a job with her and want to quit for any reason! JMO.

Troubles with Teething - Baby, Baby, Baby
Hi. My little guy is teething soooooo bad and I am wondering if any of you have some ideas that I can try, to hopefully make his life (and my life) a little easier to deal with? lol. We've tried Tylenol - with little pain relief, but much diarreha! We've tried Orajel - it seems to wear off too fast to make a difference. We've tried teething toys - help for only a few minutes (not nearly enough time for me to get any work done!). His appetite is normal, but his sleep schedule has been totally disrupted (as has mine). For the last 2 nights, he has woke up every couple hours. I would think he would be exhausted during the day....but he never goes to sleep. He is more fussy than usual and alittle more clingy, but overall he is very playful. His pediatrician gave me some suggestions (the above) that I have tried with little to no help, so I am desperate for new ideas! He is cutting multiple teeth right now (and just got a few new ones last week too) so he is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I appreciate all ideas that anyone has. Thanks in advance. :)

Why would a grown
woman think that what you are doing is fun? What is wrong with you?
Yep, even though she's grown and married
, he still gets it anytime he wants it. The molestation has never stopped.
Yes, a daughter, all grown.
I married & divorced very young. Have 2 roommates (friend and her boyfriend). Couldn't afford this house otherwise. LOL. I live in an area called Lone Mountain Vistas, not far from Summerlin.
My children are grown and now
I am still working at home. Get to be grandma now. Don't forget $3 for a gallon of gas also.
Grown-up daughters - say nothing unless asked. And then don't say too much. nm

I agree - my kids are grown and gone.
The house looks great, but I do miss the days when they were kids and lived here.
How could a grown man be in love with a child....
but they way she was dressed with the hair and make-up, etc., she looked about 25. Too many perverts out there and he definitely fits the image. I don't know how or who would hire him especially around some kids. He has pervert stamped all over him.
His hair has grown out? Not extensions - NM

So since YOU don't have to worry about it because your kids are grown
Have you ever ONCE tried to put yourself in someone else's shoes or see something from someone else's point of view? Have you ever, in your entire life, had an open mind about anything?
Apparently not, from what I've seen here.
As a parent of 3 grown men, I'd be real clear with him
on the reason for quitting. This is not the norm for most of these players, especially after playing for so many years. After this time it's usually "in their blood" as some would say. You really need to keep an eye on him and see where he really focuses his time now that he's not playing. Since his GPA is 4.0, it just throws up a flag to me as I read your post, and I'd be sure to keep a close eye on this young man. BUT, for your P.S., his team may nudge him back into playing and I don't necessarily think that would be a bad thing. Hopefully it's not a people problem that's caused him to want to quit, i.e. people picking on the little guy (wink, offensive linemen usually aren't too little, are they?). Just make sure you stay objective and keep an eye on the bigger picture if that's possible.
I remember when my now 25-yo was the tight end in pee wee footbal, lots of practice and lots of fun. He totally loved it but quit after midgets because he couldn't get along wth an upcoming coach. Ahhh, those were the days. Thanks for making me remember some good times.
I understand when the kids are grown, so I started over!
My youngest was turning 17 when I got pregnant with another. I guess it is called empty nest syndrome. I'm now 48 and raising a 7 year old beautiful little girl and I remember when my oldest children were growing up I'd think it was never going to end. Now I wake up every day thinking she is growing up too fast! I sure appreciate her more, now that I've seen how fast they will be gone!

I agree. Have grown child, but can work during their SM
school hours and in the evening. A split shift is highly productive.
Guess you're not ready for grown up humor then.

Yeh baby
I forgot about him - ala Cool Hand Luke (yup, I am 43)
You can do this with a baby.
Lots of opinions on this subject I see. You can do this. I worked in house for more than 10 years, but came home to be with my kids too. My schedule was a bit rough, I would work in the mornings during baby's nap time, then split my shift so I worked a night while he slept. My desk was in the room next to him. I then had another son and continued with the same pattern. It is rough and you tend to lose some sleep, but it is well worth it. It actually helps to do a split shift so your wrists don't get tired. At any rate, my kids are older, both in school now and I still work in the mornings, do errands/housework in the afternoon, be here when they get home from school, do dinner and homework together, and after they are in bed, I finish up my shift. I've been doing this for 10 years now. I take my job seriously, I'm productive and have a 99% QA score. My company is happy, I am happy, and my kids are happy that they have a mom home with them when they need her. It depends on how disciplined you can be, but is is feasible Keep in mind that babies are not babies forever (which is kind of sad). Enjoy your little one!
RUN BABY, RUN
job with Soft Script. If you have a good job, keep it. Or, go elsewhere. You think the recruiter is rude, you haven't seen anything yet. Plus, they will lie to you, steal your lines and you will have to work 24/7 to earn more than minimum wage. You can do MUCH better.
YA BIG FAT CRY BABY
BOO HOO HOO
baby......
Sorry, but if you're nursing a baby while you're transcribing, neither job is being done properly. MT takes full concentration and you cannot have an ear out for the kids while you are trying to do the complex skill of medical transcribing.
Yes, women can do just about anything, but not all at one time!
A baby deserves their parent's undivided attention while they are being fed.
ERs, baby!

baby
do you know if the local high school teaches child care? Maybe, something like for a few hours would help, not very viable, but probably a lot cheaper. I have never researched this, just a thought. I've got two of my grands here now and it has been too long; barely got out of my nightgown!
Oh cry me a river, baby
Not on this planet, baby
Wake up and smell the coffee.
I don't know how it's possible to do this with a baby to contend with unless you put him in da
and demands just as much concentration.
Does anyone know about baby rabbits????
I found them today. Their eyes are closed. There is no mother in sight. My dog already got 2, but I have fenced them in with enough space for the mother if she comes, but maybe my dog ate her :(. Should I move them. I am watching the dog and not letting her out unsupervised, but I can't keep that up for too long. Any advice would be appreciated. I want to save them, but I don't have all day to look after them.
Baby rabbits
Mother rabbits only come to the nest to feed the babies at night to avoid drawing attention to the nest by potential predators. The best way to determine if she is returning to the nest is to gently replace the grass/leaves that may have been covering the nest and place at least two peices of thread/twine/yarn over the nest in an X pattern and check in the morning to see if it is moved. You can also try putting a lite dusting of flour on the ground to check for footprints (just be sure it is far enough away to prevent attracting ants to the babies). While it can be done, the unfortunate fact is babies rabbits have an extremely high mortality rate when attempting to bottle feed, so if you can be sure the mother is still taking care of them, the best thing is to leave them alone. If you are sure she is not feeding them do not attempt to feed them yourself, cow's milk can be fatal. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator in your area and follow their instructions until they can pick it up. Be sure to remember that it is also against the law to keep any "wild" animal.
baby rabbits
Had somewhat similar situation and talked to wildlife people here (Wa state) they told me if the eyes were open, the baby was about 5 inches long, and the ears were standing up, it could survive on its own. Otherwise, ohoh. Sometimes you can locate the wildlife rescue org for your area on the internet.
Good luck to you - at least you are trying to help them.
One other thing they told me is that wild rabbits should not be domesticated - they are extremely unlikely to survive if handled.
not this baby's mama.

YEAH BABY
HEY YUCK - YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!
baby lotion - that's what I use

whoa baby!!!!
I might have to get one for myself
oh baby, have mercy!
The only thing better would be one of him naked and playing bongos - still can't get that vision out of my head!!!!
Yah, baby!!!! That one was a nailbiter to the end!
I know someone who'd love to have the baby
If she were to change her mind about abortion (which I pray she will)...
Working with a Baby
I have a 2-1/2 year old at home and I'm an IC for a small local transcription company. Since I've been doing this since she was a baby, she knows mommy has to work. She keeps herself busy and I'm able to take small breaks for diaper changes and snacks. I'm lucky to have a schedule where I just work in the a.m. from 9:00-12:30 and then work again from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. when she's asleep. It's whatever works for you.
It depends on the baby
I tell people this all of the time - it all depends on the baby. My oldest was difficult for a long time and breastfeeding was rough at first as I got mastitis twice with him and it hurt like the dickens, not to mention made me quite ill. My second child was quiet, slept a lot, would drift off to sleep on her own - no crying at all - and my only feeding problems with her were that she had a weak suck so I would have to keep firm support behind her head to make sure she stayed fully latched, and I got pg again at 3 mos postpartum and had supply issues from that. My third child had no feeding issues, but was a screamer - he slept on a fairly predictable schedule but was quite loud most of the other times. He cried and cried for 3 mos, then turned into a happy outgoing baby.
Now that they are 7, 4 and 3, I can honestly say that I could probably work with the 4 year old at home no problem, and might be able to work with the 3 year old at home (but many fewer daytime hours), but not together at the same time. They were home sick last week and my hours were quite compromised during the day and I was exhausted from taking care of them at night so I did not stay up late to work.
All of that being said, I do not think I could have put them in daycare until now. My 3 yo just started in the 3yo room at daycare and it is a lot more like preschool in the morning, followed by lunch, nap and outside play, during which I pick him up ( I stop working to pick up my gradeschooler and the other two at 3pm). He was OK with the twos but it was a little more unstructured and the kids are obviously less mature at that age.
I would see how it goes - maybe you could hire a college student or a high school student to be a mother's helper some time during the day if you find that you need a little help. If possible, negotiate a flexible schedule instead of specific times to be working - your baby will not care what your boss wants you to do.
You will not know how new motherhood is until you experience it yourself. Everyone is different - your body will heal differently from anyone else's and your baby is unique. I would keep an open mind.
Congratulations on the baby!
"TrimSpa Baby"
Is this a safe product for most people? I have to take Lipitor for cholesterol-lowering. Do you think I could still use this? I'd really love to try it!
working with baby
Have you tried a carrier/sling-type thing to strap her to you while you work? I've been in your shoes before, I know how hard it can be...BUT it can be done..don't give up! Try to work when she's sleeping, at night, whenever you have a "free" moment, which I know are few and far between. Just know that your baby won't be a baby for long...indulge in it while it lasts...babies are wonderful!!!
The gorgeous baby
One solution may be one of those swinging bassinet (some vibrate and play music also) or, what I used to do with my boys, propping in a baby swing so that the baby can see you and feels less ignored. If you put receiving blankets on either side and in the front by their stomach they really will stay put. They may also sell props just for this use. Good luck
Long OPs all the way baby!!
Give me a long OP note, the longer the better. Love em, love em, love em....
Baby, but in my culture we do that.
Congratulations on the new baby!!!!....n/m
Congrats on both your baby and becoming an
MT! You can have the best of both worlds - stay home with your baby and work at the same time!! Yes, it can be done! I taught myself MTing while holding a newborn on my lap! As others have said, take advantage of when baby naps, while not forgetting your own sleep, and hang in there! Its challenging, but it 100% can be done. Probably lots less stress in the long run than having a baby and then trying to return to work - day care and the whole 9 yards! You can do it if you really want it!
Yeah baby...
baby showers - sm
After reading the post about what to spend on graduation gifts for acquaintances, I wondered about baby shower gifts.
Actually, I was wondering if baby showers are now given for expectant moms with child #3. And if so, what would an approrpiate gift be in that case?
I always thought showers were given for the first baby only. Has this changed? And I didn't know it?
