Hi everyone - I’m relatively new to Dallas and starting my home search. It’s me + wife + baby with hopes of at least 1 more in the future. Can someone give me some ideas as to which neighborhoods are friendly for young parents / working professionals? Any inputs on Richardson, Carrollton, Far North? Areas to avoid? Other areas worth exploring that are not too far north? We’re trying to stay close to the North Dallas tollway / turnpike for work. Thank you!

Any moms who really badly wanted a girl but ended up with a boy(s)? How do you feel now? Do you still want a girl? Would you try again? Does it matter really, or was it just in your head?

Had a difficult relationship with my mom growing up, so always wanted that closeness with my future daughter. FTM having a boy and a little disappointed, but feeling guilty for that too. Difficult pregnancy so likely won't have another. But I want a girl. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Please no woke left gender drama responses. Thanks.

Is there anyone who can someone refer me to a associate product management position. I hold a 1 year 7 months of experience.

Reason of switch:
Major reason for getting a product role- it has always been a dream to me, this profile suits me, hence I've applied, other reasons, My life has led me to be a creative thinker, being always curious and need of constant learning. The first reason for change is I'm not getting challenged in a way I want to, where I could be creative and innovation.

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
