At what age do you stop taking a bath with your child? My 3 year old & I were in the bath together and suddenly he reached out to my chest and said “mumma, your lungs are outside, mine are inside my body” I was so embarrassed! I told him that those were my breasts and that grown ups have slightly different body parts. I normally take a quick shower before him and sit in the tub with him, as that’s our bonding time. I was wearing underpants so thankfully he didn’t notice my non-existant penis

But struggling to come with a number. I’m class of 2014 but have gone on four maternity leaves 😂. Any suggestions????

My cousin’s son is very ill and may pass away in the next couple of days. He has had a very severe auto-immune disorder since he was born so while we knew this would come, it’s still a very sad time. My sister, who lives close to my cousin (I live in another country), doesn’t know them very well but has been with them today to give support. I am a bit worried about her because she’s emotionally unstable … we have never figured out quite what it is but she may have a personality disorders tbc..

Advice please! 2 kids - 2.5 and 6mo and last week was my first week back from mat leave. My toddler is throwing all sorts of tantrums now, which she never did before, demanding our attention. Doesn’t help that we had to switch nannies at the same time as me going back to work (she had her previous nanny since she was a baby). Please tell me it gets better soon?

As a manager of a restaurant, how is it best to address parents with screaming babies/children given that it is not a kid-encouraged establishment? The parents were oblivious to proper etiquette and other guests complained making the parents of the screaming baby wildly offended. How does management appease all parties? Or is it best to protect the masses?

How have you broke the news to your boss that you’re looking to make a career change and leave the practice? I am the Sr. Paralegal at my firm (7+ years) and work for a solo practitioner in a very busy wage & hour class action practice. We have one other legal assistant and law clerk. I don’t want to burn bridges, but after seeing how he gave the cold shoulder to his paralegal of 10+ years after going on maternity leave and never coming back, I don’t see how I can’t expect the same treatment.

I feel like I'm aging at a rapid pace 😔😬🥴...I used to feel like I looked young for my age and now that I'm in my later 30's, I feel like everyday I look older and older. I don't wear a ton of makeup and do usually eat pretty healthily/ drink water. What other tips, tricks, and treatments should I be considering?!? (Mostly feel like my skin is dull, uneven tone, and wrinkles are becoming more apparent) Ugh, ha.... I know it's part of life but want to slow it down!

I need a cheap computer to use just for surfing the web/online shopping while I’m out on maternity leave. There are some cheap pre-black Friday deals at Walmart right now. Anyone who knows anything about computers willing to take a quick peek and recommend something for me??? thanks!

I am dating an African American woman. Together 3+ yrs, in general things are good. Would like to take our relationship to next level but I worry cultural difference may be an issue long term. By cultural difference I mean things like — tendency to divorce (I think the Nigerian / African culture has more marital patience), first world expectations in life (my gf has never left USA before and I want to live in Nigeria, with all its 3rd world problems, at some point), etc Anyone faced this before?

About to get an offer to move to a health agency. Anyone else make that move? How was it? I’ve lost major interest in the hustle glorified at traditional agencies, and have a fam so need better WLB. Realizing regular agencies aren’t made to work around family life…more like the other way around. Even when setting boundaries you get comments and pressure…working til midnight every night to “make up” for having to log off between 6 and 9 every night isn’t a good balance for me.

Markets have resulted in a lot of loss this year (some bad investments), expenses are all time high, and I have my second kid in the way. I am worried about my long term savings.

Went straight into ad agency work after college, 2 years into it and might be promoted soon. Though it’s a privilege, I’m really unmotivated and don’t look forward to work or finding a new job.

How do you respond to armchair lawyering from clients? I am a public interest appellate litigator, and after emailing the filed brief to a client, he sent me a long email detailing all the things he thinks should’ve been in the brief. He already has ordered me to do things that are outside the scope of rep and is a terrible listener, but as long as I am firm and put things in writing, it hasn’t been bad. How do I tell him he’s wrong and he needs to let me do my job, politely/professionally?

Has anyone gone so far as to splurge on a tier 1 office chair like the Steelcase Gesture? If so, your honest feedback/review would be appreciated.

My logic is if I spend so much of my typical work week sitting on a chair, why not go the extra mile and make it something comfortable and good for posture. Also, the cheaper chairs seem always to wear down faster than anticipated.

Has anyone taken reg recently that can offer some insight on the heavily tested areas I should focus on? Thanks!

To clarify, looking to do it myself, not for the team / firm.

When I was an infant/toddler I apparently used to love a sit up thing that had wheels on it. I cannot for the life of me find what these are called now or if they are even sold any more.

Anyone know what I’m talking about and know any good ones?

Supposed to have in person interviews with a few execs next week. Kid clearly is just starting to exhibit cold symptoms from back to school. If I end up with cold symptoms directly ahead of the interviews, what do you think is best practice in this era? I assume I should try to get in touch the day before and basically say hey I have cold symptoms do you still want me there in person? Can only imagine coughing all over them will not endear them to me…

Weaning baby now (he is four months). I have a big freezer stash and it’s in the deep freeze so it will be good until next December. Is the better strategy to constantly give baby some breastmilk every day until I run out (like 8-10 ounces a day or something, mixed with his formula) or is it better to just give formula and save the freezer stash for if/when he gets a cold or something, and then mix it in liberally only then)?

Any advice?

Moms, would you recommend international travel with 2-3 month old in early 2021 if the COVID situation improves? My family is not able to travel for delivery and I know I am being selfish, but I really want to spend part of my maternity leave with my parents and family. This will also be a chance to spend a month with them, which is super rare given we never get leaves that long! Anyone been this mad? Is it my 30 week hormones messing my brain?

Planning of travelling internationally in Feb. My baby will be 3.5 months by then. Worried about breastfeeding on a 14 hour flight. I have inverted nipples and my little one has a hard time latching on the left nipple. I follow the triple feeding schedule and if I miss a pumping session or a feed my breasta are engorged and the left one creates a mess. I am assuming pumping on the plane will not be an option? Might consider the Halka or the ladybug and feeding LO. Any suggestions?
