Anyone here practice family law around the Baltimore area, to be able to represent a friend of a friend on custody issues?

Those who find happiness intrinsically, how do you do it? I’ve always sought things and people to be happy. I’ve been less happy after college and the pandemic doesn’t help. Growing up, our family constantly moved (3 continents, 4 countries) and it was always difficult to make friends. I can’t complain to people about this because then I sound like the privileged prick who gets to travel and lives a arguably good life. Sorry for the rant 😔

Moms with three kids and on a reduced schedule: What is your reduced schedule, and does it work for you? If not, what would be your ideal schedule? Just had my third and not sure how things will work... two was manageable, but three feels difficult right now

I am curious how you guys would handle a parent that is always doing my student's homework for them. It is just writing practice and letter formation. I like my student to practice frequently and it is quite evident that her mom just does her work every night. I am a little frustrated. TIA

Moving to San Diego in the spring from the central coast. Any recs on places to live (late 30’s with a kid)? Want to be close to restaurants and things to do, but a little too old and tired for gas lamp!

I don’t know if coming out is something I should do or not anymore. My girlfriend and I want to get married in the next couple of years but thats not something I want to keep secret. It hurts me that I feel like I have to do that, but I don’t want to risk losing my job. I know they can’t fire me for being in a wlw relationship but they don’t have to give a reason. I don’t want the backlash of the community either since the area I teach in is really rural. Just sad I guess.

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

Every day when I pick my three year old up from school I ask her what she had for lunch. She only replies by telling me if there was broccoli or was not broccoli in the lunch. It’s like a bad human version of the hot dog, not hot dog app (for the Silicon Valley fans)

Been with a girl for years. We get along well and enjoy each other's company. We're comfortable around each other, and I've generally been happy with her. As we've begun talking about marriage, I'm really giving some deliberate thought as to whether she's the right life partner for me. I'd pondered it before, but our relationship progressed very organically so never gave it too much serious consideration.

Now that I think of it, cont..

I’m 25/F, recently came out to my mother as gay and she was not receptive. I decided to send a message to my father and sisters to tell them next, and got crickets. I have a wonderful girlfriend and was so excited to share it with them, and it hurts to not have their support. I feel lucky that I have wonderful friends who do support me though. Anyone have any advice for how I’m feeling now? 🥺♥️ At the very least, I’m proud of myself for coming out and being me. Just lonelier than I imagined.

I don't know if this is a symptom of quarantining but I'm just bored by the day to day banter we share about our kids and family. There's no thought provoking conversation that happens and any initiation from my side just gets dismissed. We enjoyed watching TV together but I haven't had time to do that for the last few months.

Need advice. I haven’t seen my bf in over a month due to some travelling and we agreed he would be coming to see me tonight and stay with me after a few drinks with some friends. He said it wouldn’t be a late night and is now out clubbing and pushing me to give him a “deadline” which he is using against me to then say “you forced me home”. I’ve had this done to me before my a toxic ex who made me go crazy and blamed me for everything. Am I right to be annoyed at my bf here or am I overreacting

I haven’t gotten a second interview, so this might be a bit forward but I wanted to know what’s the ideal start date. I am willing to start as soon as possible, but I’ve seen on other boards people talk about starting a week or two after their official end date.

I'm frustrated and don't know where to go with this.

I was recently in consideration for a promotion but got passed over. I was told , in confidence, that I viewed as less serious about the role because I teleworked while colleagues were getting back to the office. That was viewed by senior leaders as being less serious about the job.

I mean, I have a job but I feel I will never advance if I use the benefits offered. Is this the same everywhere? Do teleworking lawyers ever get promoted?
