I don't think we'll be going into the office anytime soon. They aren't going to just open the floodgates, unless you live in one of the crazy states.

I'm in San Francisco. I'm not against shelter in place. I 100% support Gavin Newsom's approach. Just stressed about if May 3rd is the end of shelter in place but schools are closed. I'm not sending my kids to mass camp for now if shelter is lifted so guess I'll be scrambling for a nanny.

Anybody still have children going to private school in person. Our 5 yo is in a Montessary where they had 3-4 COVID cases reported over the weekend. They are still keeping it open for now. We are wondering if we should send our kid. What are other parents doing?

How would you respond to this note sent home on my toddler’s daily report from her in-home daycare provider. Mind you she didn’t say anything to me in person about this. Plus my daughter started saying “no daycare, no friends” when we tell her it’s time to go / ask her if she wants to see her friends.

Guy I am dating for last 3 months asked me to attend Mother’s Day lunch/dinner with his whole family. I haven’t met any one of them on a 1-1. While I am somewhat comfortable with him, I am an introvert and don’t like to be around groups of people. We usually spend a weekend night together. However, after I gently said no and told him I d feel comfy to first meet his family members 1-1, he seemed to be a little aloof and left early. I like the guy a lot. We aren’t at the typical marriageable age
