Did anyone disappoint their parent(s) when deciding to work in advertising?

Hi, I’m pregnant and interested in lateraling in LA after my maternity leave. Would anyone know if any of these firms are supportive of new mothers and/or have a substantial representation of female partners? I’m in a specialty group in corporate. Latham, Gibson Dunn, White & Case, Mayer Brown, Troutman Pepper, and MoFo

34 m here. It’s been a week since I noticed red rashes on right side of my back. The doctor mentioned that it could be shingles and now I am on antibiotics. I know that it’s not spreading to other areas. I am curious to know how did I catch this? I had chicken pox when I was a kid.

I felt like the people deserved an update regarding my lovely family drama. My brother called and apologized to me for not only his reaction but my nephew.

We had a solid conversation. He told me what would hurt him the most was not the spanking but labeling his child a monster when our parents already think that something is wrong with him and I validated that.

He said that he hopes that we can go on our vacation with old College friends next weekend and that there will be no rift

I’m pregnant. And right now I’m sick - so I have had no make up on all week and I just realized I look positively ratchet. What are some things I can do to spruce up my “Woke up Like This” appearance for all the days that will blur into nights into days when I have a newborn. Was thinking a lash lift, eye brow tint, new glasses, cute PJs (but I don’t think the first few are safe while preg…) 🤔 Def can’t do Botox 😏

What's it like to work at Department of child services? Is it worth it

We just met a wonderful kitten while camping in East Idaho. We’re flying back to Bay Area tonight and thinking if we should leave him here or drop him off at a local shelter or take him with us and find him home in the Bay. What should we do?
(My gf and I already have 3 cats between us and so we won’t be able to adopt this one unfortunately)

My husband and I used to be very affectionate. We used to take at least 2 hrs everyday just to give each other emotional space. We would talk about what we’re feeling and why and so on. It used to be so fulfilling and beautiful.
But since we had a kid, all conversations are with a purpose. It’s either planning the next day, the next move, finances, etc. Amidst this, we lost focus on each other.

Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this and got back to their original selves?

For pregnant women who have had prior pregnancies/losses but no living children, do you consider yourself a FTM? When people ask if this is your first, do you share that it’s not your first pregnancy? This is my third pregnancy and would be my first living child; it’s been on my mind as I head into the second tri (which is when I lost my last baby).

Hello! I’m only about 4 weeks pregnant, so super early. I am about to go on vacation and thankfully did a quick search on some “dos and donts” for the first trimester. I am v disappointed to see I shouldn’t do saunas and hot tubs as my vacation was really planned to be all relaxation. But it got me thinking, could you all share the most surprising pregnancy do or don’t you’ve encountered? I feel like I just need a master list cause there seem to be so many limitations 😭

Any superb restaurant recommendations in vail? My wife and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary and we just had our first child.

Why do couples want to have children? Are we expected to, will we regret it later down the line, or are we seeking “joy/happiness” or “support” later in life? I’m 32/F and still not sure if I ever want to be a mother. I see the toll motherhood takes on women, not to mention societal and family expectations. But what am I missing here?

Lately I am feeling my life is excessively hard on me. From a difficult childhood to loosing a parent at a you age was really disturbing. I am going through therapy and my doctor want me to take drugs

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 have your respective agencies, leaders, and teams responded to the influx of discrimination and hate against Asians, as well as the nuances & intersectionality of uplifting women, BLM, etc?

How did you feel about how they may or may not have acknowledged this, and if they did, are they putting/planning to put action behind their words?

Honestly don’t think advertising is good for Asians - I’ve met very few if any especially in strategy.

Can we talk about the rise of hate crimes in AAPI community? My heart is heavy as we celebrate Lunar New Year this year.

Are any agencies celebrating LNY?

Is your agency doing anything for AAPI Heritage Month?
