Any single mamas have co-parenting advice? I’m just starting this journey and hoping for her sake to have this be as smooth a transition as possible.

Step mother perspective- I wish my partner’s ex would have encouraged my son’s relationship with his father. She was selfish to the detriment of the child and that damage is irreparable. With the children we had together, I also feel sad for them because they miss their brother...
sending you peace as you navigate these waters.

There is no reason to keep a child from their parent unless they are in physical or mental danger. Especially when all obligations have been met otherwise, child support, health and well being support, etc.

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Just took a positive pregnancy test this morning!! I can’t focus on work!! I got off the pill in March and figured it would take us a little while to get pregnant. I missed my period last week so took a pregnancy test yesterday (oh the irony) and it was positive! Part of me didn’t believe it so I bought a test from a diff brand, took it this AM, and it was positive again. I’m half terrified and half want to shout from the rooftops!! (It’s our first.) So posting here bc I can’t tell anyone yet!!!

Anyone had experience promotion during/after pregnancy? I’m working in a team I love and planning to get pregnant. But last week, my boss quit which throws me to an awkward position. If my boss didn’t quit, I have high chance to get promoted at the end of year. But now, everything is uncertain. If I don’t get promoted this year, I prob won’t next year bc I will take a lot of maternity leave. Need some advice here.
