Prob a mosquito you haven’t been exposed to before? They have different enzymes in their saliva. This is why when you move regionally you get awful welty bites and then years later they’re negligible bc your body knows how to react

How do you manage going back into public accounting as a first time mom? Our first kid is due this summer and I’ve been having conversations with my husband on plans for going back to work post-maternity leave. He is not in accounting and works ~35 hr weeks while I’ve been at 50-70 hr weeks (and enjoy my work). He is worried about my ability to be there for mom duties and also fully commit to work so curious on how other working moms have managed this - especially type A personalities. Thanks!

Had a talk with the partners Thursday, they said I’m not producing enough work at the end of each day. First year associate, new area of law, wfh so they are more “what are you doing every second”. They want me to start turning in a daily log (we are plaintiffs attorneys so no billing normally) any advice? While I appreciate their honesty, I feel like they consider me severely indebted to them that they hired me mid pandemic and “allow” me to work from home.
