Fish: I know someone at another firm who has been ridiculed based on their perceived economic past as a child. Firm Leadership has circulated a suggestive photo with a demeaning caption with... CONT.

Is Martin worth taking the salary cut with a move to Richmond … with a husband and a kid?… coming from a big market, but want to do good work.

My husband and I agreed to have two kids before we got married. But after one, I’m not sure I want two anymore. I might be done. I keep hinting but he seems to not want to accept the possibility of a one and done situation. How have people handled something like this? Are two babies worth the strain - financially, emotionally and physically?

Need some advice. My relationship with my parents hasn’t always been the greatest. I supported them financially (along with some younger siblings) until I got married and moved away. They resent me for moving on from them but since I had my daughter, my mother has been sending handmade gifts and calling to check on my kid. Her first birthday is coming up and my mother just told me she won’t be able to make it because she is going on vacation with my sister. For context,(continued in comment )

I went back to school last year. My employer knows this. I am currently off on a 8 week LOA to care for a child having surgery.
I had a job offer drop into my lap and am very interested in taking it. The new place is supportive of my need to care for my kid at this time and is looking at a flexible day including a lot of WFH options.
Is it acceptable to start new place while on LOA from my current job? I want to be sure it's a good fit before I give notice.

As a parent, do you ever feel like you get to turn it off? All we do is take care of people. I'm not begrudging my career choice or my babies, I just feel burnt out on giving so much to everyone else.

Times like these, I stare at charts and look for buy opportunities while blasting Kid Rock’s “Stand the Pain” on repeat. Don’t knock it until you try it. You’ll come out feeling motivated. Guaranteed.

Any moms struggling with teens during virtual learning? My son started high school this year and is doing awful when he has always done well. From straight As to Cs. I’ve always trusted him to take care of his own schooling but feel like I am failing as a parent. I’m a single mom so don’t have backup to be on his case and manage multiple trials at a time. What is helping you and your kids cope?

Last December, my mom said I needed to check myself into a mental hospital. It was a deliberate attempt to hurt, she knew I was getting help and not at risk.

We've had little contact this year but I feel intense guilt about her not seeing her grandkid much. Im learning about our intergenerational trauma and how to set better boundaries. She continually violates them. She sends texts to say I'm "mean" and "ruining the holidays".

Does the guilt go away? Do you go no contact, kid included?

Anyone on here a single mom? I’m the only single parent in my office and in my general circle of friends. It’d be nice to talk with someone who can relate.

First time preggers over here! When do you tell your agency you’re pregnant? I just started my 2nd trimester.

Anyone dealt with a Christian parent who has been backsliding since the pandemic? Is this common? And how did you deal with it?

Any recommendations for a 5 day mother/daughter trip early September outside of the US? Probably in the Caribbean somewhere

We have a toddler and it’s frustrating that my husband doesn’t pull his weight in taking care of him. I feel so resentful since I often lose sleep and have to take breaks to watch our son but my husband makes a lot of excuses to not take care of him even though he has more flexibility with his job. How can I get my husband be a more involved father?

Any pregnant or recently pregnant ladies out there? How did you get comfortable enough sleep in hotels? Extra pillows? I feel like a whale...

How to deal with a father who lacks empathy? Essentially I didn’t like how he treated my mom growing up (always arguing) and when they ultimately separated and divorced in my young adult years, I took her side. He has tried to communicate with me throughout that time and I would tell him this but he just doesn’t get it and would focus on other issues so I ultimately blocked him from my life the last 5 years.

Shout out to all my children of refugees, people in abusive households, those without the networks, those without the ivy leagues degrees. We made it baby!!!

How would you feel being referred to as “kid” or “kiddo” by someone less than 10 years older than you? (In a room full of coworkers)

Is the culture and employee experience just as bad at Parthenon as it is EY (non P)? Every time I’m on here someone from EY is complaining about something. About to start interviewing with EYP.

Why are quantitative finance textbooks mostly focused on options/derivatives ? Where can I learn other sub-topics like asset management ?

Anyone interview with Google for a project manager role? If so, what was your experience? Glassdoor makes it difficult to weed thru reviews.

Spending the weekend in Boston - do I drive or train/bus? Amtrak and flights are expensive compared to driving. Anyone have advice on other trains or buses like FlixBus?

When it comes to UI & UX: Apple Music or Spotify?
