Baby furniture. What is everyone doing? FTM and trying to figure out if it’s worth investing in very expensive nursery furniture. We were looking at the Natart furniture collection and the Silva collections. These both come in at about $2000-$2400. The furniture is high quality and grows with the child. Alternatively I could go the lower end route at get everything for like $800. Is that wise? I hear horror stories about low quality and paint chipping from the baby teething on the crib.

How do you feel about putting on hold your family expansion plans because of a recent promotion? Do you think it’s a normal thing to do? And if so, how long is the normal waiting period? Knowing that the parental leave is about 6 months!

Girl who has written “Honest, Good Person, Well educated person” as her choice, rejected me because of my hair loss. Why girls are so fake? Please write the truth in your demands. Got a message from her father that “family is not interested”. Who the hell are you saying such things. Fake Family.

Anyone a sugar baby? Has anyone been approached on Instagram? Tips/pros/cons/thoughts?

Let's start our Friday off with some fun. What are some things you think you never have to say until you're a parent? For me, "Get that pencil out of your nose."

This will be weird, but serious question. My three year old girl does this thing where she gets in child’s pose, balls up her blanket between her legs and then appears to be humping it. Will do it especially when she getting tired / close to nap time. But it is weird, like she is rubbing herself there. We plan to mention it to the pediatrician next time we go. Anyone else had a kid do this? Is that super weird or is it just random strange little kid stuff?

My boyfriend wants kids. The only kids I want are the ones with fur and 4 legs. He loves them because he has nieces and nephews, but he doesn’t even wake up when our senior cat cries at night or throws up on the floor. I’m the one that hears it. Doesn’t make me feel hopeful that he’ll wake up when he hears a baby cry at night. He sleeps like a log.

Is Omega recognized as a luxury brand? I’ve known Rolex since when I was a kid, but not Omega. Just curious as to what the perception is. Wondering if I should get the speedmaster at 4K or the Rolex?

Can someone help me with NIE for my wife’s mother? We suffered a huge loss this week, had a stillborn baby at almost end of the pregnancy. There is no family around us and my wife needs her mother physically and mentally. She is showing signs of postpartum depression. I did apply for an NIE on humanitarian grounds and it got rejected. Had attached the doctors note too requesting travel for her mother. I am not sure if we should apply again through her email. Can someone share some information

How is mother LA?

Help!! FTM and my 7mo baby somehow caught a cold? He has a runny nose but otherwise seems ok, no fever. The congestion is really bothering him and keeps waking him up through the night. He's normally an excellent sleeper 7-7 but tonight it's been a nightmare. I use the nose suction, and have a humidifier. He's been crying on and off every hour. What else can I do? 😭

If you're not dating the father and found out you were pregnant, would you tell them even if you were getting an abortion?

Pet Peeves while flying? Mine is people who recline their seats in front of me. Especially if they are shorter than me.

Super random question. Mother has a TON of shotgun ammo in California at her home from my late step father. She wants it gone and I want it. I currently live in Texas and have no idea how the royal heck I am going to get it here. Anyone have any great ideas?

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

So I’ve noticed CDs and clients are only familiar with standard applications of social media (ie posts). Stories took a minute to add to the mix. Been trying to introduce new ways to use social and they don’t get it and kill it. I’m told I need to break it down like I’m speaking to a child. Usually anything that takes more than one slide to explain gets killed. But idk how many times we need to explain a medium that ppl won’t take the time to familiarize themselves with...

My college best friend just lost her mother after her second battle with cancer. She lost her father to cancer in college, and all I can think about is the daily struggle I helped her with and how alone she must be feeling (even with siblings). 30 years old now and she lives across the country. Anyone have ideas of things that I could do to be supportive? Already sent flowers.

Changed my company but it didn't update!

Post for likes! 😤

Beyond 2 lines the text in each post card is cut off. I wonder how many lines in the comment section?

How much does it cost to move a studio’s worth of furniture across the country? Say, Chicago to New York?

Is it wildly stupid to bring edibles on an international flight?

Husband buys flowers from publix , takes me to a bar with 45 mins wait and finally to a random place for dinner- is it reasonable to be mad ?

Really cute girl that just got on the flight from ORD to DCA - are you a consultant 😍😍

I have 1500 Tesla shares. Should I sell?

28 years old, have about $200K in cash and stocks, excluding 401(k). How would you allocate the $200K between cash / stocks / bonds? Crypto is the wrong answer.

Anyone knows the day to day with Google Cloud Solution Architect?

Is there a “right” reason to want kids? There seem to be so many reasons not to. Why did 🐠 parents here decide to have them, and when was the right time in your career? (I’m a 30YO, F, manager)

Am I allowed to say who my clients were on my projects in an interview or do I have to use this “I did an operational transformation for a Fortune 500 company” bullshit?

Is it okay to tell HR that you do not want to continue on your current project because you are not comfortable working with your current manager? Would that lead to me losing my job?

What are the levels at ZS? Associate, Associate Consultant, Consultant, then? And where would someone with 2.5 years of experience and a non MBA Masters join the firm, at the AC level?

MBB requiring vaccine or not?

Crying babies in first class... Come on AA.

Sometimes I feel like I have to flirt with people in the office to make them do what I need them to...

Can't help it but that guy sitting in front of me in the conference room has his eyebrows waxed. How can I stop looking at them and not laughing?

Promoted to M!! 🍾
