I’m not sure if this is the best advice but I’m home with a 5 month old and my husband and I rotate her from area to area to try to keep her busy. So from high chair to floor mat with toys to bouncer to a mirror in the wall so she can look at herself.


It’s hard. There’s no right way to do it and it’s not relaxing. It’s a total drain on everything you’ve got. Good luck. Deep breaths. Long walks.

Paper plates.

I feel you. Was on my own with 5mo baby and toddler for 6 weeks. Daycare finally opened for essentials (which my husband is). Tips - get up early to get a head start and hold your baby on video meetings so people remember what you’re dealing with and also it’s cute. haha. Oh and good luck!

How old is your baby?

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
