How long did you take for maternity? Progressive offers 4 weeks 100% paid… I plan to take a couple weeks of PTO. Just curious why everyone took.

I haven’t involved my mom in wedding planning much because she stresses me out. But today, I took her to my dress alterations appointment and she left pissed because I didn’t let her take pictures. She said I wasn’t creating the sweet mother daughter experience she had hoped for but that’s just not me. I even bought the dress by myself in the first place. Anyone else struggling with pleasing their mothers during wedding planning while staying sane?

Does anyone not feel comfortable leaving their kid alone with either parents or in laws due to their carelessness? How do deal with them constantly asking for your kid to sleep over at their house?

Did yall hear about the Chicago mom who had her kid taken away because she wouldn't accept that her child was transgender? As a parent, that's actually kind of scary that the government would that with no basis of abuse or neglect. Smh

Creatives, let’s talk creative briefs.

I recently attended a webinar with Rosie Arnold (ex ECD BBH).

Someone asked “What do creatives want from strategists, what does a great brief consist of?”

Rosie said to keep it dead simple and that actually, a smart insight, can throw a creative and the process and that it’s better to just have a simple one.

Question:
What are your 2 top tips for a creative brief?
- addressing one GOOD (to adopt or consider)
& one BAD (to change or avoid)

I'm going on 27 and have never been in a serious long-term relationship. The longest relationship I've had was a 3 month long-distance one that ended with them cheating on me, and that relationship was nearly 9 years ago and I haven't dated since. Is it wrong to feel so incredibly insecure about this that I'm terrified of even trying to date given how inexperienced I am? I'm embarrassed to even be typing this and I absolutely hate it, but I'm also so lonely it hurts.
