Does anyone else use "baby talk" with their significant other? Looking back it I sorta cringe at the idea of it...

@AT1 she was probably a 9 without them, they bumped her up to a 10 in my mind. They weren't over the top like most though, a cool C cup. Hard to tell they were fake if you didn't know and weren't squeezing them.

Not exactly baby talk but my ex and I used to kind of talk like kids sometimes ("nah uh", etc) and I really miss it.

Yup! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I know it's weird but it's a thing for us and I wouldn't change it for anything. Also NEVER on front of anyone else. I did slip and call him a pet name in front of his sister once and we all laughed about it. So awkward.

D1 apparently got reported :D

My ex used to baby talk with his ex. Stopped when we were dating. I kinda wish he never ever did that...

Baby talk is used to create false intimacy. Could make you reconsider the substance of your relationship. Not saying don't do it but consider what you are masking.

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?

Hi girls,

I joined the current company when I was about 2 months pregnant and they were extremely welcoming.. My baby is now 2+ years and we are planning to have another baby soon. What are your views on opting for the maternity leaves 2nd time within 3.5 years of joining the company? Would it reflect badly on me? Btw, I'm a high perfomer at my company and have also had a promotion recently. I am feeling too guilty but baby no.2 is also a priority given the age factor and the fertility concerns

Since I have the baby all day and get up with her all night, my wife basically “takes over” baby duty when she stops working. The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)

Hey all,

My baby is measuring very big but doesn't seem to be coming on her own, so doctor wants to induce around my due date (I'm 39 weeks pregnant now).

Any risk factors I should take into consideration? Things I should make sure to bring up with my doctor ahead of time? This is my first baby.

So here is my dilemma:
- based in the UK
- opportunity for lateral internal move (culture&engagement) or stay where I am (reward). I am mid level IC struggling to progress due to flat structure so considering lateral move then hopefully up from there.
- 2 primary aged children, currently have flexibility in current/new role too
- Husband just got accepted on a international rotation which means I will be single parent for the short term.

What to do? Go with the unknown or coast comfortably?

Hi fishes,

Just need your idea/experience (if any) on the following query:
I already have an offer with CTS.
I am also getting offers from other MNCs, but for other locations.
If I wish to join CTS only, but want to negotiate with them, on the latest offer I have with an expectation that they atleast match the same amount (if not offering me more).
So just wanted to know, whether at all they would provide me a revised offer or would they be strict enough to let me go & not negotiating at all?
