For those with school districts closed or facing an impending school closure, how are you managing work and childcare. I feel like it’s a matter of time for us (I’m in NJ) and beyond stressed.

I’m awaiting that notice too. Thinking early mornings, late nights and two-hour shifts of working/watching kids with my partner. My kids are young so one of them still naps which helps. Probably more screen time than anyone needs. Just ordered some puzzle books for the older one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also in NJ and our district just closed. No advice, just solidarity! I’m going to try ACD1’s plan and cross my fingers. I don’t really have a plan b other than trying to use personal/vacation days. I’m the only one on my team with young kids so thinking it might be better to do a clean “I’m OTO” but that’s not a sustainable plan either.

You can’t work at full capacity but so so so many are in the same boat. I think I’d be more stressed if it was just my town but entire states school systems are shutting down. Things will need to change short term. I’m just glad I don’t have a job where I have to show up or lose a paycheck.

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

Hey all! Thank you for the beautiful work that you do! I’m looking for some advice.
Im 30, F, live in NYC, work in tech making 150K and my partner makes 200K. We have no current loans but also no financial help from family and will be helping them in the future. We also want 1-2 kids.

I am so depressed in tech. I love talking to and helping people so much. Everyone tells me to become a therapist. My two concerns are: I’m overly empathetic/ sensitive and whether I could ever recoup financially
