Anyone going to put their kid in school wherever you escaped to for next school year? Debating... it’s less bad here than NYC.

I would absolutely consider it. Why take the risk back in nyc If you don’t have to? It might be less stress on the kids and you.

I would love to. My kids are thriving here. Where did you escape to @SVP?

Yes so hard. I don’t have school aged kids but I can imagine they don’t have closure for their school year and with their friends and teachers. Before you make that decision, would there any way to safely facilitate that closure as much as possible? We are further south and are attracted to the lower costs for childcare. My partners job isn’t remote so we’d also have to navigate the job market which is uncertain in his field. I hate that we’re all making these hard decisions but feel now is the time since it seems we’re all shifting.

I moved schools basically every 2-3 years throughout my young life. Kids are resilient and flexible. They’ll be totally fine. If it’s a better life overall, I would do it.

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through.

I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.
