Moms, what is the standard etiquette and timing for your parents to come help out when you have a new born? I am due in April and we live in a small 2 bedroom apartment in NYC. Every one in the family wants to come to NYC and help when the baby is here and I’m grateful but I don’t want to get too overwhelmed trying to host people in this small space. I was thinking my parents could come for a couple weeks, leave and then my siblings can take turns? Thank you! Any advice will be appreciated

We started back in August in distance learning mode, core subjects only. So no STEM classes. One of our 8th grade teachers was out on maternity leave, so I was asked to take that spot for the first semester. I was a long time 5th grade teacher, so not a difficult adjustment, except for learning new to me digital curriculum.

I have 2 STEM classes for the second quarter. Still online, so my focus is on coding.

Wondering what other STEM teachers are doing online?

I hate Mother’s Day. My mom was abusive, manipulative, and an all around terrible person growing up. Not much has changed. I established firm boundaries and we don’t see or talk much despite us living about 20 minutes from each other. I dread having to talk to her on Mother’s Day because she will turn it into a terrible thing and ruin my day. But then I see my friends who have lost their mothers and feel guilty. They’d give anything for another conversation with their mothers.

What’s the best way to save on baby products like pampers?

Just had my NIPT/Nuchal Translucency at 12w4d IVF pregnancy and the sonographer said everything looks fine but she wants me to come back in 5 weeks and then again a month later to do the scans again so she can get a clearer picture. She said baby is measuring slightly lower than it should, but it could be that doctors were a few days off on due date (is that a thing with IVF??). She also referred me to get a fetal echo at 20 weeks. Is this normal? I called OB, waiting for her to call me back.

First time mom, and I am going through a identity crisis. I quit my career of 12 yrs. The overachiever in me decided to return from maternity leave earlier. I was dealing with PPD and anxiety, I realized it was too much. I worked my butt off to climb up the ranks to be in a director role, $170k. I left it to work part time in HR for Takeda pharma. I started this week, I work 20 hrs, remote and $55k. I’m scared. Any advice? I want to return to FT in 1.5 years. Thanks

Hi Fishies!
I am in the process of negotiating an offer with a new company and I asked for a higher base but they came in saying i would be “at parity” with my peers. They did try to adjust the bonus so TC would be close to what I am looking for. However, the signon bonus is a bit lower than what I was hoping. How do you negotiate that and what do I say? Truth is, I am still a bit on the fence about the move. I really like my boss and my team and we have so many amazing (TBC below)

I moved out to the suburbs about 7 months ago. Between that and the pandemic I have lost touch with friends. I reach out as get “yea let’s hang” but when it comes to making definite plans, crickets. It’s been hard because work is so busy and I have my partners children around too. Struggling to reconnect now that ppl are hanging out again and I don’t get invited. Feeling super isolated and lonely.

Does anyone else feel unfulfilled in their job, but you’ve decided to stick it out because of the COVID market?

Let’s talk cars….We have to get a new car stat as my husband’s company is no longer doing company leased cars and his lease is up next week (they are also going to boost his pay to compensate for the lost value). We just found out so I don’t have more than about $5k liquid for this…. My car is going to be paid off in the next 3 months. Should we just get him the Model X he wants now or get a beater for cash and save to be able to get a nicer vehicle later?

I going to my first in person conference since the pandemic. It’s Thursday and Friday. I was thinking about business casual on Thursday (light colored pants and black blazer). Would jeans be okay for Friday? I know as a law student I always looked super formal at any conference but would it still be needed as a practicing attorney?

I’m looking older than my age. I get Botox in my forehead to prevent deep lines, but that’s it. Can someone please recommend something to me that does not involve 3+ products in a meticulous routine? I would appreciate your help. I would love to be the type to have a skincare routine because I’m that type of person normally, but I have failed every time I’ve tried.

Spending another day questioning every decision ever made. I don’t like being a solo practitioner in an area that is incredibly difficult to not only win a case but to get paid for your time. I need to find an area of law I can work in and make money (preferably not family or criminal law). I would like to find a partner to work with, but I don’t even begin to know how to go about it. I am regretting going to law and leaving teaching, but you couldn’t pay me enough to go back to the classroom.
