Anybody tried Ginger or therapy through texting? Would love to know your thoughts. I can see it being neat since I tend to express my feelings and thoughts better in writing. I also tend to downplay how I really feel in person with a friend but less so when I’m texting them my feelings. But worried about the quality of therapists and my words actually being saved in my files, amongst other things.

SO says I don’t acknowledge things for what they are and I try to find excuses. It’s been a big red flag for him and he sees it as immaturity and shadiness. I think he takes what I do the wrong way, and only try to explain my intent. I don’t know how to fix this

How many of you ladies are planning or ended up being a stay at home mom post maternity leave? I'm really considering it because I've always desired to stay home for a few years in child's first few years of life and we can afford it, but I'm also feeling a little sheepish about my work reputation and losing a great role (since I would have to quit). This will be my first child, FYI

Anyone have a spouse/partner who is a picky eater?

I grew up with two french bodybuilders for parents and enjoy super minimally seasoned, whole, unprocessed foods (yes, we were the weird house for not having goldfish as kids), and I live with my handsome man from a beautiful Mexican family who cook with many flavors but also eat out a LOT.

He is okay about my cooking as it is 90% veggies, but some nights he’s blunt that he’s picky, and I whine about going out. Thoughts?

How do you nicely tell your boyfriend you are not happy in your relationship? Please advise.

I teach PreK in a public school. Our state allows PreK programs to nap without masks if proper ventilation is provided. I have 16 children, a minimum of 3 feet apart, no masks, with two LOUD air filters, two tiny windows open, the outside and hall door open, at average in 72-76 degrees. What is your childcare classroom doing for rest time?

Another "we are having a baby" day from friends. I used to get very excited for everyones babies but I think its taking a huge toll on me now. Instead of being happy for them I cried. I dont want to feel like this. I actually don't even know what am feeling except for I am sad. I don't want to call them don't want to wish them don't want to do anything but I ll have to put up a brave face and maybe send care baskets or host yet another baby shower

Teaching Autistic Support via Zoom is so difficult. The behaviors are way worse and there is next to nothing I can do to help my students parents.

Anyone women lawyers here interested in a local get together? New to the area & looking to meet friends, which is hard enough as a busy attorney, and got even harder with pandemic /WFH life. I brought this up in the women lawyers bowl and there were several 🐠🐠 in the Bay area looking to connect!

Is there anybody out there with kids who maintains a busy litigation practice simultaneously? I know it’s difficult so need to beat a dead horse on that.

How common are prenups in UK among middle-class? I'm thinking of asking my SO for one but I worry it would be viewed by anyone else as a one foot-out-the-door kinda situation. I'm just trying to be safe with little I have, seeing my friends' marriages.

Anyone in Dallas?! Need friends

So my wife and I both said we wanted kids (before we got married) then a couple years into marriage we both said we changed our minds and do not want them. Now, she’s thinking she may want them, she’s changed back. I have NOT, I still firmly think I do not want them. But what do we do now?

My best work friend is leaving, how do I cope :(? They were by far the closest person I had at the firm. I’m happy for them and I know I’ll build the relationships I have with others, just sucks..

Reached out to an ex after not being in contact for 4 years. Said “Hi, I hope all is well.” No response. Intention was not to get back together (we’re both married now), more to mend fences since we were good friends once upon a time. Was reaching out a mistake?

My roommate is moving out soon and I’m super sad because we’ve been living together for over 6 years. But I’m now planning to get a cat and I lowkey wish she was out just a bit sooner.

Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions! I understand that every open relationship is different, and each couple defines their own arrangement/rules. For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!

An honest confession. I am 35 years old female, married to a guy and have 1.5 year old son. I know I like females and often have those dreams where I see myself with some female or the other. Contd..

People with kids, how much do you spend on daycare?

Dental question: I’ve been told I am genetically predisposed to plaque buildup in bottom teeth for some reason. I brush 2-3 times a day, floss 2-3x a day and water floss 2x a day, and I still need a dental clean almost every 3-4 months. Anyone else have this problem? I don’t know what else I can do to solve this...

Sincere question for Crossfiters- I love Olympic lifts and am thinking of joining a CrossFit gym as it is the only option close by that allows them.

However, I downright refuse to do kipping pull-ups. Is this going to cause an issue in the gym?

Anyone else build out their home gym? Thanks to EY’s generous fitness fund (which luckily was doubled if your team was picked during the fitness challenge), I was able to build out my ideal home gym at a heavily subsidized price. I love being able to walk 15 steps into my gym and not have to wait to use the power rack or curl bar!

Does peloton only work on your lower body? I like running and going for walks etc and am conflicted between getting a peloton vs joining a gym. Cause I live in NYC I walk quite a bit and my lower body is pretty toned but would love to have more definition/strength in my arms, stomach. Thinking of getting a peloton will be pointless for my arms/upper body since that’s what I’d like to focus on. Advice?

Any suggestions for good running shoes?
