Does anyone in NYC have a chef who comes to their house to cook for the week? We want healthy food but are limited in time due to two demanding jobs and a toddler.

What games, toys, or science kits would you recommend for a kid who’s showing an interest in the sciences?

Any book recommendations for first time dads?

Any of you folks stray (ie cheat) / currently straying in a relationship? How’d it happen? Why’d it go down? Did you tell, etc?

I know there are a lot of people here that are in an open relationship - for y’all: did it ever cross over into something more than just physical?

How do you get over the fact that your
bf (who is super active on social media
and USED to post you without you
asking) just never does it anymore?
You don't suspect him of cheating or
anything like that, he just doesn't think
to do it anymore. I don't want our
fights to be around social media, and
honestly am embarrassed even typing
out this post, but it’s been on my mind lately.

How long do you cry after breakup? I cried for one night, and felt weird day after. Now I feel like I am way better, maybe it was because I know it had to happen (even if I was the one who got broken up with) and probably I see that more than hurt of relationship ending

I'm planning my budget for MBA right now. Do you have any thoughts on how to reduce living costs? I'm going with my wife and we don't want to share an apartment. *Continued...

After 2020 and what happened with BLM, I lost a bunch of friends who said that for the first time, they saw me as someone different. Did anyone else here experience this?

How to still feel confident when siblings or cousins significant others are richer and make more money then you? Or what if they are better looking then your significant other?

I’m noticing I have really low motivation lately as far as work is concerned. Are there any other mothers to be struggling with this right now? I’m currently 16 weeks

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

3 months post breakup… I seemed to be healing well and all the sudden this week I took a huge step back and feel heartbroken all over again. For context I was in a 4 year relationship including 1 year engaged and had to call my wedding off due to his infidelity. How can I shake this? 😔

What do you do when your lifelong friends get married, have kids and disappear to the burbs or wherever and you’re single, lonely and gay?

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended. I focused on my niece and nephews, cried when I wanted to and slept from 8pm-noon for the last 5 days. Showered once or twice. That’s the best I could do and that’s OK right now. I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

hi - new to this bowl. I want to make sure I’m not being irrational or dramatic lol.

My boyfriend forgot my upcoming birthday. He scheduled a pick-up hockey game on that day and when I asked him about it, he said it was important to him to play hockey with his friends and we could celebrate my birthday a different day. for context, we’ve been dating for over a year and he knows how important celebrating is to me. im pretty close to ending it... thoughts?

Best way to deal with family members who treat you like the family therapist? Over thanksgiving my aunt disclosed some intense stuff to me and asked me for my help/opinion, and it was uncomfortable. I don't feel good saying just don't talk to me about stuff like that, but I also am not paid to give therapy to my own family and the things they tell me put me in weird situations with other family members. Help!

Ladies - I am trying to understand a situation I have no experience in so I’m looking to learn here. I have a friend who recently had a baby. Although limited, she posts pictures on Instagram (private account) of herself and the baby but all with the baby’s face blurred out or an emoji covering the baby’s face. I don’t understand this at all. Why post the picture at all then

I have a connection who until recently included the following in her “about” section:
Single mom of 2 teenaged sons.
Tattooed CPA.

I feel like the world has gone crazy.

Was back in the office for the first time since Covid. It’s been really nice seeing everyone again and rekindling old relationships but something about being back just feels off to me.
Covid changed a lot and it’ll be tough to go back to the old ways but it all just feels so different. Idk if I’m in culture shock or this just isn’t for me anymore. Has anyone else felt this?

Has anyone seen their site show up in Google organic SERPs with a completely blank description? Just started happening across many pages. Wondering what could be causing it?

Thoughts on the Bill Michael resignation email we got? I’ve heard the same commentary and worse from my bosses about covid being ‘fake’ or ‘ over exaggerated’ and have been told by my bosses to expect working longer hours without hanging time to eat — but it seems it doesn’t matter unless unless there’s an article written about it that the media puts out.... one thing to enforce our values on only those getting caught in the spotlight for it.

Any regrets going into advisory?? Which group is the best interns of interesting work?

Give me the details on Finance Transformation. I know it’s system implementation primarily but for those of you who do it 1) do you like it and 2) what are the hours like

Unpopular opinion - we inherently rank and cater to certain minority groups over other. We fail to recognize the struggles from these other minority groups and focus on the issues being pushed on social media and in the news.

Associate Software engineer with 0 yrs of experience with 115k + 15% bonus. Is this a good starting salary? (Chicago) This is for JPMorgan Chase.

Moved into a new apartment 2 months ago & I can hear every footstep above and sound from above me all day every day, especially above my bedroom. While I definitely think the building being old is a factor, this person walks super heavily & it sounds like is moving furniture around all day. I don’t know if there is a true solution, but I was thinking of offering to buy them a rug to muffle the noise a bit. I’ve never met them- is it best to go over in person, write a letter, or go through mngmt

What would I have to do to get a party of 5 reservation for tomorrow, Monday Jan 3, at Carbone?

Viewed a studio apartment today. Excellent location, renovated, great price, back of the building. But it was sandwiched between the stairwell and the garbage chute. Is this a deal breaker? It’s on a lower floor of a high rise so assuming lots of ppl would be dropping their stuff down the chute.

I have been living in my midtown apt (condo) since Sep 2021. There wasn’t a COVID discount when I signed. Lease is ending 8/31/2022. I would love to sign another year and stay. What’s the best way to navigate this for the lowest amount of price hike? I don’t think it is rent stabilized.

My landlord has multiple apts and has not mentioned price inc. to me yet. Doesn’t seem to be on top of things. Heard there is a 30 day notice rule for landlords to increase rent by more than 5%. Please advise!

Is it realistic to buy a studio/1b condo on my own in the city with a 150k salary and no debt? I used those affordability calculators online and seems doable factoring in HOA. But I’m wondering if there’s other significant costs and expenses I need to be aware of for buying and owning a condo in the city. Anyone bought condo on your own? What surprised you the most?

What's the best rent splitter online? Most accurate for sqft, etc?

Eyebrow shaping/styling recs in Manhattan? Even better if around Midtown/Midtown West/UWS. Thanks 🙏🏻

Does anyone use curb app instead of Uber/lyft? I tried it a few times but they always end up charging me more than what was initially shown. Bait and switch. Does this happen to anyone else?

Hey New York City, I was told to keep the heat on in winter even when I am not home to avoid pipe getting frozen. I have to travel for a month, the weather forecast shows some15 degrees days are coming, my building has no super, what do I do now?
