Called into the principal's office to discuss a parent's concern and was blindsided with accusations against me. I was "guilty", despite the fact I had previously documented and proven that this student twisted truths. I was not allowed to defend myself. Then I was told I was not a good fit for the school. I have been there for 13 yrs, 3 with this principal. Suddenly, I am accused of lacking empathy and told the students needed to be "protected" from me. I don't know what just happened.

I never thought being a mom would be this difficult. I am working full time, have an infant who wakes up every 3-4h and doesn't fall back asleep unless held in arms, am breastfeeding for medical reasons, and feel resentful and beyond tired all the time. I hate the fact that my body is so different to how it was before, that I don't have a sense of self any more, that I can't disconnect and take a break (and this is likely to not change for years to come). Is this normal or unfit to be a mom?

How in the world do you ladies manage to make dinner every day? By the time i leave the office, do pickup at daycare and come home it’s 6 pm and my babies go to sleep 7-7:30. Like how?? I feel like such a bad mother I don’t cook and we basically live off takeout 🥺😣

Do you have your high kids help out lower kids in the classroom? If my high kid finishes early, could I pair him with another student? I try to arrange seating so that high, middle, low are mixed.

Anyone have any tips on dating an older man (I’m 24 and he’s 31) that has a young child? His ex-wife has primary custody of the child, however he spends a decent amount of time with us. Recently we have been discussing when we want to have children together and where we want to be location wise. My family lives in NC and we are currently in NY (where his ex wife and child are). I recently expressed to him that I would like to be in NC with my family when we have kids because I want a solid….

I confided in my husband that I don’t want to do our embryo transfer in April, because I don’t want a baby born in December. I think it would be so hard to be overshadowed by the holidays, we have a massive family and a birthday around the holiday would definitely not be seen as a priority by others. Plus, it’s just such a hectic time. My husband looked at me and thought I was crazy. Is this stupid? Am I selfish for wanting to hold off for a January or later birthday?

I’ve been waiting for security clearance since July and just found out I’m pregnant after trying for a year. I’m hoping clearance will be granted in early spring 2021 and I can start work soon after. Thankfully taking unpaid time off isn’t a big issue (won’t be eligible for FMLA or parental leave), but worried about timing and telling HR & my supervisor. I’m planning to tell them once I start; know timing isn’t ideal and stressed about starting off on the wrong foot. Any advice?

To moms: People say wait until your baby is 1 year old to make a career move but feel I’m not happy with the current company despite the flexibility. Should I wait until later or now?

Any reason why majority of black men I meet in the corporate setting are with white women, yet the opposite is not true.

I am a quality engineer . I make in the 130k in base . My life circumstances and responsibilities exhaust most of it . I have my own place but my balance is max 30 k .am a single parent and I have 16 years yoe . I want to be able to make quick travel plans when kids are with dad , but I have to always hold back , i feel frustrated. What roles pay at least 210k . I am a hard worker .

Pretty unhappy at work but I feel obligated to stay for when we have a second kid (pregnant this year hopefully) and would feel dumb for walking away from our maternity benefit. I didn't have great

Living in Illinois with first kid on the way. Make 120k with about 5k in total monthly expenses. Looking to open up a 529 for my kids education but am open to other suggestions. Any tips would be appreciated!

I, a childless woman who does not plan to have kids, am jealous of the parental leave parents get to take from work from choosing to have a child (a big life event). I 100% understand that they are working in a different way by taking care of the baby and being deliriously worn out in the process, but it makes me sort of jealous that unless I have a kid there is no life event that I can take ~3 months away from work to focus on and enjoy, plus have my hours prorated and a job to come back to.

Is there any hope for husbands to understand how hard and exhausting it is to be a mom? Or do we just need to assign them specific tasks to help manage things?

I 35f make three times more than my fiancé. I also purchased the house that we both live in. He pays half the mortgage and I pay all other bills. He’s a nice guy - But I’m starting to resent the fact that I pay for the majority of our life and don’t get to feel like the woman in the relationship:(

Started seeing someone and while we both are well educated and have good jobs, it’s clear that there’s a big difference in our families’ economic class. I come from top 1% and my parents will be setting up a trust fund, have designer bags/clothes, am well traveled—whereas he comes from blue collar background, wears simple clothes, has not been outside the US, etc. Has anyone been in a similar situation where it presented problems?

I think I’m burning out - worked at least 250 hours every month since October &, while I’ve lately been trying to not work weekends, I’m feeling apathetic & behind. I’m just simply exhausted despite my “recharge on weekends” plan. I lateraled in October so don’t want to complain to my practice group leader (who is very patient & I respect a great deal) but some associates are leaving shortly for maternity leave so no end in sight. I literally stress dry heave every morning walking into my offic

When you were a kid, say 10, what did you want to be when you grew up?

5.5 months pregnant. I’ve been having some insanely vivid dreams about breastfeeding my future baby. Weird

Has anyone used the abortion pill. I’m desperate, don’t want to be a single mother and not ready to be shamed. help😭
