F29- I wish that having a biological clock wasn’t a thing because that’s the only reason why I feel like I need to rush and settle down sooner rather than later :/

I’m F30 and have also thought about this a lot. A friend of mine told me she talks to her Gyno and basically says she wants to have kids in the 35-37 age range and pays OOP every year to do fertility testing. Her doc then confirms she’s OK to pursue having kids at that age and she goes about her life.

Have you considered freezing your eggs? Lots of companies actually cover that as part of health insurance/child planning.

Also, very few women actually have a kid from the eggs they froze. (Somewhere around 20%)

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down.

I have an estranged relationship with my sister. I haven’t had a relationship with her in 13+ years, and haven’t even seen her in about 5 years. We had a really bad falling out and I never really carried for her as a person. But for some reason I feel an immense guilt for not wanting a relationship, simply because of this convoluted idea of family and sticking together no matter what. Anyone else have this issue? How do I go about making peace with someone I don’t want nothing to do with?
