My husband is trying for his third year in a row to get into the pipefitters union; the first 2 times, nerves got the best of him, and he failed the math test due to extreme anxiety despite aceing the practice test. This time, he practiced and worked on his test-taking anxiety and passed with flying colors so he is moving on to the interview! Not just that but he has a ton of points this year, has taken 3 welding and welding inspection classes, has his HVAC-R certification, and has been working in a manual labor management role for the past year. I really think this year is the year he has a great chance at getting in.

He got a little sheet with some example questions for the interview and we are practicing his answers together. One that is tripping us up is

"Imagine a scenario where your foreman or journeyman tells you, 'You're wrong, ' but you disagree, what would you do?"

His answer is that he is working under their license and trusts them that they have the most current, up-to-date information, and that ultimately, he is the trainee and they are the mentor, so he will follow their instructions.

I said maybe it's a trick question to see if you would have the "brass" to have a reasonable disagreement with your superior if they are asking you to do something out of regulation or that compromises safety, and now we both don't know what a good answer.

What would your answer be? Also, I am handy, but I am not in the trades, so I could very well be totally wrong on my interpretation of the question, you won't hurt my feelings if you say so lol.

My baby is 27 inches long, and weighs 13 lbs 13oz. His birthweight was 7lbs 7oz, so not quite doubled. Edit: he is 4 months old

She said he’s not gaining enough weight and to add rice cereal to his bottle, but he’s following his growth curve, and frankly I don’t want his bottle to be thick and cause choking or something.

Can I just mix the rice cereal/oatmeal (preferably baby oatmeal) and give it to him by spoon instead? That seems much safer than sticking it in a bottle. I’m so confused. He’s hitting all his milestones even rolling early. He can roll back to belly and side to side, he can grasp and sit up assisted.

I normally see the male doctor at our Ped but he was out today so I saw her instead.

My baby learned how to roll back to belly, which he does… often. Like every 2 minutes during floor play. The problem is once he’s on his belly he hates it and CANT GET BACK!!! So I have to go flip him over. I’ve tried letting him figure it out but he doesn’t even try he just screams and goes limp like a rag doll.

Is anyone else’s baby like this and when did they start learning how to roll belly to back?

My baby is 4 months and has been rolling side to side for a week
