Sippy cups

Any recommendations on sippy cups? My daughter is 6 months old, and I want to start introducing her to a cup. What kind do y’all recommend, and do you have any tips for getting her started?

Better opportunities

I’ve been in ATC for a while and honestly, I still love the industry and the work itself. That said, I’m starting to feel a little burnt out. I recently had a baby, and the shift work is becoming harder and harder to manage. The rotating schedules, nights, weekends, and holidays are starting to take a toll on my family life.

I’m not looking to completely leave the aviation or air traffic world because it’s something I’m passionate about. I’m more curious about what other career paths are out there that would allow me to use my ATC experience while having a more predictable schedule.

I’d still like opportunities for career growth and advancement, and if I’m being honest, I’d also like to be compensated closer to what my skills and experience are worth because I don’t really feel that’s happening right now.

For those of you who have transitioned out of traditional ATC roles but stayed in the industry, what did you move into? Aviation operations, safety, training, airspace analysis, FAA support contractor roles, management, data analytics, something else?

I’d love to hear what’s out there and what your experience has been.

Postpartum

Hey y’all. I’m 4 months postpartum, and I’m not sure if it’s postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, my new birth control, or just all the life changes that come with becoming a mom, but I’m really struggling right now.

I am so emotional. I can cry over the smallest things, and sometimes I don’t even know why. Little things trigger me, and then I get in my head and start feeling guilty for feeling the way I do.

Today, I literally spent most of the day laying in bed crying, and honestly, I couldn’t even tell you what I was crying about. That’s what makes it so frustrating.

I have a beautiful, healthy baby, a great husband, and so much to be thankful for, which almost makes me feel worse for feeling this way.

Has anyone else experienced this around 4 months postpartum? Did it get better? I’d really love to hear from other moms who have been through something similar.

Anyone else paying 385 a week on child care.. ugh I hate it but I don’t want my daughter in a terrible child care center and that was the only decent one that wasn’t 1900 a month.. does anyone know how I can bring down that cost without putting the father on child support
