10 months into new job and feel like I want to get involved in something to help network but also fill this gap around trying to grow your career when you have young littles-it’s been a big stress and feeling like I just don’t have the drive I used to. Is it crazy to start a moms group at work? Foster connections with other working mommas. Not sure how to begin or what would be a good way to bring people together that I don’t know. Any advice on how to do this or abort the idea?

It’s a great idea! Someone started a “quaranteenies” group and I so appreciated it. We swap tips, tell funny stories, do virtual drinks, and cheer each other on, including a single dad. Do check to see if your company already has such an affinity group though. Omnicom had a bunch that I didn’t know of for many years.

I was reading a post in another group that asked how folks were celebrating Diwali outside of India and 2 people mentioned that their whole street (in the US) exchanged sweets, put up lights, and pitched in for a community firecrackers permit. This had me wondering if this happened in the US for Eid as well in cites where there is a big Muslim population. Also, how do you all celebrate Eid? For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY.

I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

I am the primary breadwinner and far out earn my husband and my stepson’s bio mom. I have always put pressure on myself to succeed (Cont.)

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

This is not about dating, but about family relationships. I live far from my family and provably only see them once a year.

Anyone else have this complicated dynamic with family?
