I appreciate that they say that employers don’t pay taxes.

Can you break the office ac? Or repeatedly set it to the warehouse temp every time you walk by it.

Edit: because it’s considered reasonable (elsewhere in the comments), call it a cost savings measure.

Fed is best.

For the anxiety, there might be local baby groups that deal with that. It may be worth checking with a lactation specialist to see if they know of the resources.

As for the kiddo, right now they are in what I call hungry potato mode. Eventually they will start to smile at things and then mobilize. Once they start smiling, then you can start feeling out their personality, which will change shortly after you figure them out. Once mobile, more time with more babies to socialize is good.

Edit on the baby groups: it’s also a good place to talk to other moms in similar but different boats.

Watch the bluey episode baby race.

You just need to be faster than whoever you’re with.

Unfortunately in this scenario, I was not the faster runner, and now wake up earliest

Do you have any smart home stuff going on? If you had Home Assistant set up, I could imagine a trigger that turns off a smart outlet after 5 minutes of no use. (I use such a trigger to let me know when laundry is done)

Hope

Right. My 9 year old would reply with “just give me ice cream and let me play Minecraft all day” where I would not suggest that.

Now for any age: if they seem grumpy, feed them.

I’m already going to a kid amusement park tomorrow, so I guess I would just be the coolest dad there.

That stops being a fan translation at that point. (It also opens the translator up to much bigger legal problems)

Weed whacker, unless I need parts or a new one, then it’s a string trimmer until I need to whack more weeds

Like mid talking or listening? I’ve done both, but I want to know the question.

(It’s easy to fall asleep when listening, but you need to be a special kind of tired to fall asleep mid sentence, or even better, dream-speak a few nonsense sentences)

Years ago now I used “feed baby”, it worked between us both, and let us know when things happened. Also tracked weight and height if you entered it in. No idea how secure though.

Edit: I’d like to add that because of how it syncs, I could see when the baby was sleeping while I was at work. It let me feel connected.

White snape was strange. With potions can we get a blue snape?

We bought this one a few years back and we were super excited for it. It’s still a nice rug to see in our house. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Mohawk-Home-Majorelle-Gardens-Blue-Blue-Indoor-Area-Rug-Common-5-x-8-Actual-5-ft-W-x-8-ft-L-x-0-5-ft-dia/1000931700

I clicked it hoping it was a Nas or other PC ready to sail the seas, I was disappointed.

A chair might be a chair, but you might find you want an end table, or a slightly more stable table with more space. I’m a substance over style kind of person, and sometimes you just need a place for stuff, bonus points if it looks good to your eyes.

Depending on your budget, go to a furniture store (more budget) or IKEA with the intent of not buying anything but walking through and looking at everything. See what you like, what you don’t. Sometimes you’ll see a piece that just says “hey, I want that” and either take a picture, or note it somehow.

5, this is explain like I’m 5 and all…

You opt into it by living in society. If you don’t want to pay taxes, find yourself a cave in the woods. If you use the roads to get to work, then you need to pay for the roads. (This applies to all public things, like if you want an educated populace, you need to pay for schools, even if you aren’t going to the school yourself. Taxes is a way to pay for all this stuff)
