Anyone else avoid going to India because everyone from your in laws side want to just come meet you from different city when all you want is some space and relax and spend time with your own family.

My trick in recent years has been to throw a longish party at a hotel…7 pm to 11 pm and invite everyone there and be done with those who you don’t want to do one-on-one. Gets a lot of such potential visits out of the way

you know your in-laws and out-laws best.

Have you tried surprise or unannounced visit? We don’t have this problem but a friend always visits unannounced and usually stays first 3 days in a hotel, and then stays 5 days with parents and remaining days with in laws. Still has some local folks visiting over chai but out of town folks usually stay put. We have the reverse problem, everyone is busy and don’t want to travel, but would nag us to visit them!

I've been working remotely for the past two years, and it's been great. I love working from home and being able to watch my kids grow up through their eyes as they play around me. But sometimes, when you're in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what to talk about with your coworkers.

I’m a psychologist currently living in a mid tier town that honestly has felt so toxic. I’ve made gay friends, but most are toxic to the point that my best friend said I need to remove myself from the community.

Here, I literally can not find decent friends that even reach out. 🫦

Fam need advice.. I’m struggling in my rl lately. My gf and I met virtually on social media and have been together for almost a year. Things are great normally, but whenever there comes a bit spark of argument, my gf just turned into someone else, very emotional every time, keeping this it’s all your fault attitude… She tends to go to extremes and often times went too much, e.g., she bent (hurts a lot atm but fingers ok) my fingers as part of couple fun fights (it started with her pinching me)…

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

Have you ever represented family? Obviously not for actual work but outside of it? My almost brother in law could use a little legal help and asked me if I had extra time.
