Any mom here ever bring up (where context is appropriate) that you have a child in a recruiting process? I’m working in a banking industry where it 100% dedication to work is expected and WLB is almost non-existent. I like the job and have a solid family support to help with the childcare. I feel like it isn’t the best thing to surprise bosses or coworkers that I have a child once you join, but at the same time, I don’t want to be misperceived about my capacity early on. What do y’all think?

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

I’m in a rather peculiar situation. I have been in the HR field going on 4 years, I have over 11 years of management experience, I got my PHR last year and I recently graduated with my MBA with a concentration in HR this month. I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.

My baby daughter is almost 1 and I’m looking to stop breastfeeding and wean to cows milk soon. She has had very few bottles in the past 12 months (combo of Covid + she rejected bottles for several months) so we’ve primarily been nursing. I’m looking for weaning tips from parents in a similar situation. Seems like most methods involve combo of breast milk + cows milk in a bottle but that doesn’t really work for us since I haven’t pumped since like November!

So weird I don’t remember joining this bowl (or why) but my new therapist recommended an ADHD assessment. I’ve been researching symptoms and can relate to a LOT of them (as a child and adult). I’m conflicted because I can stay organized when I track my daily routine (been using my daily planner consistently for 2 months yay) and I’m able to focus using Pomodoro technique. How do you differentiate b/w “normal” forgetfulness, time management issues, etc vs ADHD?

I’m a single mom of a young boy. My child is delayed in speech & receptive skills. I work full time & a full time mom w/ no family help. Im feeling very resentful towards my sons dad.

I won’t hear from him for a few days. I did to him what he does to me all the time for one day & now he’s being xtra petty. Can any1 relate?

Should you always negotiate? I never gave a range during the interview process, I had a TC # in my mind. Got an offer and TC was exactly what I would've asked for. I will take the job.

That said, is there any harm to negotiating for higher here? I don't have any data to back why I deserve a higher #, but feel it's a missed opportunity to just accept the first offer

Morale is low rn on my team. Superstar team members have left the firm, and more members are trying to leave before busy season because we’ve had to pick up the slack. How to still stay motivated?

I’m currently on the bench and had a senior colleague reach out to me about assisting with a work item. I volunteered to help (but I can’t charge my time). There was (to my knowledge) an entire team of individuals working on the project up until last week so it seemed to me that my help wasn’t really needed. The project is spinning down and they’ve lessened the team members, but I’m still helping out with tasks. I don’t mind helping at all, but it seems weird. Am I thinking into this too much?

Have any respiratory therapists found jobs OTHER than being a clinical RT? I want to possibly change careers, but I am finding that a lot of jobs (clinical liason, utilization review, etc) want you to have a nursing degree, not a respiratory degree. I feel like as an RT we are limited to jobs.

How do y’all keep track of schedules? I like using outlook for work and personal (including kids) because I can color code items and mark as not busy or private and I have it up on a big screen all day. However I have 4 kids and the summer schedule is packed with summer camps and activities. It is making my work calendar look very congested. I’m fine with it from my view but (cont’d)

Husband is doing well in his career, my son is thriving in school...Im still struggling to find a work place that i like. I been at my current employer for a year and to say the least i feel under utilized, undermined , only hired for my "optics" ( only minority in the team.. literally introduced once as the Puerto Rican HR lady).

What are some resources on child development? I'm a first time mom and really can't tell if I'm doing enough to be sure she's learning what she needs to learn via play, activities, books, etc. at 16 months.

Seeking opinions: I'm 37F, happily married with 2 kids (10 & 7). We're on the verge of closing the book on kids and I'm wondering if I'm crazy for considering a third. I see several of my friends in similar situations having another baby when their other kids are older. I wonder if I should just accept that phase of my life is over or give it a go. Thoughts from those that did and did not do this? I'd love to see my boys with a new sibling now that they're older.

I’m starting to feel so hopeless and depressed. My job (that I’m thankful to have) keeps me busy 14+ hours a day. I’ve basically abandoned my kids and it’s lord of the flies over here. I can’t keep up. I’m tired and there is no end in sight. I don’t really know what to do.

As a parent, do you prioritize making career choices that are “safe” but not inspiring, or do you prioritize making the choices that are less safe but help you realize your full potential? I’m faced with such a choice, and while I’m fine with my safe job, I get stuck on how to explain myself to my daughters someday because I feel I’d want more for them. I feel a lot of pressure to model the right thing for them, especially as a same sex parent - anyone else?
