Career - What Would You Do?

Current situation: After 15 years into your gig you have a job that pays six figures, is a fairly easy job. You're tenured and there is very little chance of getting whacked since there are at least a dozen hires below you. You get breaks and summers off. Your work environment is supportive and nurturing and your boss rocks. However, you're exceptionally bored at your job and the passion you used to have has been snuffed out. You feel like your talents and skills could be more beneficial in another field and you simply cannot imagine...

Is First Years or Evenflo Breast Pumps Any Good?

When my son and daughter were born premature, the WIC offices where I lived provided a motorized Medella pump supplied from a medical supply store. Obviously this was very good. I know that Medellas are sold in Target but I also seen other brands. Is there an "off" brand ie, Evenflo, First Years, etc. that is comparable but without the price??

SAHM - Is It Your "Job" to Take Care of the House?

I am taking a poll. What do you moms and your husbands agree should be the role of the SAHM? I am currently pregnant and have recently got laid off. I am home every day with our three year old. Each day, my hubby asks me what I did all day and why the house is not clean (if it isn't that day). When the house is spotless, he doesn't say a word. If I respond that I did not have time to clean everything or that I didn't feel well, he responds that it is my job to take care of the home and the excuse that I couldn't won't work. He says...

How Do You Balance Family and Work? What Works for You? How Did You Decide?

Hi Moms! I am currently a licensed in-home child care provider. I have been doing it for over 5 years now. My main motivation was staying home with my own kids when they were little. Now that they are getting a bit older (7.5 and 3.5), I am starting to think about other options. Previously I was an elementary teacher and also have experience in the nonprofit field. In addition to doing daycare, I've also started teaching Childbirth Ed classes at night and occasionally serving as a doula. I know that I don't want to do child care...
