Hello there,

Does life after kid, be the same for married ppl.
Especially when both partners are working.
How do u handle family n work life ?

Pls pour in thoughts n tips

I am on the fence as to whether to fire my nanny. I met her through a fb moms group rec in my nassau county town. She's 44, from grenada and lively & energetic with my now 1 yo (which I wanted). she's been with us for 4 mos. we've been staying w/ my wonderful parents since covid & my mom does all the cooking and cleaning for the baby (and my toddler) as I work at a v10, my husband works nonstop, and we are exhausted. we are moving to a new house beginning of the yr. she's great w/the baby BUT--

I am a single mom of 3 and the guilt I feel every time I travel for work is overwhelming. Leaving tonight for training until Friday and going thru my usual pre trip ‘are my priorities messed up and am I a bad parent’ routine…
For context, kids are elementary school age, dad is no longer present and they are with a live in caregiver while I am away. Would love to hear some thoughts or similar experiences

We have our first son and he’s 2 months now. At one night, when the kid is fuzzy and I was so sleepy, and my wife is trying to get him calm down, i asked “Do you need any help?” Cont..

Holy ish!... I haven’t told anyone. Just now to all of you 😂. Just found out I’m pregnant and am slightly freaking out. Like, I’m about to have a baby??!!! Whaaaaa????? Shit just got real

Recently had a virtual baby shower and sent attendees a dessert box as a thank you gift. But one of my friends came late and left early and didn’t get me anything-do I need to send her one too?

For those of your who are currently pregnant and got the vaccine, how did you feel after? Did you have any side effects? Were you nervous or anxious to get it and if so, how did you conquer your fears? I am nervous to get the vaccine while pregnant due to no long term data but now with all the mask mandates lifting I’m even more nervous to not get it with the increased risk of getting covid. Any words of encouragement would be much appreciated! Currently 17 weeks along

What are maternity leave policies like at your agencies? Leadership is reviewing our policy and hoping for some insights to encourage an improved policy.

I’m joining Accenture Federal soon and had some questions about parental leave. First, is there a minimum timeframe you have to work for Accenture before they let you take maternity/parental leave.

Are you or have you been the sole HR person at the company? What are the pros & cons? I haven’t been, but a recruiter reached out with an opportunity to be one. They currently use the parent company’s HR but are buying themselves out to be a stand alone firm. TIA!

We were not trying to conceive. And I was drinking alcohol like twice a week.
Now I missed my period and pregnant. I am panicking a lot, not sure if I want a baby right now. Definitely i cant deal with pregnancy constantly knowing how much u drinking could have affected the fetus and if i could ever endure the consequences it would bring upon the baby
Help me understand if my baby will be fine or not.

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Why is it so hard to find a relationship? Is it a corporate thing?

So here's the tea... I just moved into my place a month ago. Putting the hot massages between my str8 roommate & I on the back-burner for a later post... There's this FINE Asian, middle-aged daddy that I noticed lives 2 houses down from me. I have only seen him outside twice (one of those times he was shirtless watering the grass 🤪), but I haven't seen him since. He was even wearing a dangly earring & smiled at me 😍. I want to meet him but I don't know how if he isn't outside! What am I to do?

I like it when my date/partner uses some sort of strength (like martial arts or grappling) on me. It turns me on a lot. Should I bring this up during the first date? Is it too kinky?

Guys if you are using apps such as Grindr and Scruff, please be careful. One guy that I was chatting with on Scruff in Pittsburgh found my Facebook account and since my profile was public, he found information of my family members and threatened to send pictures, chat history to my family members. Lesson learnt - make your social media accounts secure (don’t make your Facebook profile profile). He has blocked me since then, so I couldn’t report his profile
