Having a baby today. 💕

NYC parents with kids less than 3 YOE:

SO and I are moving from a 1BD into a 2BD for more space. If we plan to have kids - what were some important criteria / nice to have that you looked for in a place? Our 1BD is close to 800 sq ft in Manhattan.

Examples:
Separate room for the kid (must have)
Outdoor place (our current apt has a huge private park - is this useful for babies / small kids)
Bathtub - heard it makes bath time easier
Doorman / elevator (must have for us)

I had a missed miscarriage in January and opted for the D&C after the medication didn’t work. I found out I was pregnant again earlier this month but yesterday began the nightmare again, loss of symptoms, dull aching pain… I’m seeing my fertility specialist for what would have been an early ultrasound later this week. I’m afraid my body won’t naturally expel again and I’ll be left waiting in pain again to confirm the loss. Anyone navigate more than one missed miscarriage?

What are your thoughts on the everlasting friends debate - cheating or were they on a break?

I keep having sex with my ex and want to get back together (this is a recent thought & he doesn’t know) but we live on opposite coasts now. We broke up in 2016 yet we manage to hook up pretty much every other time we see each other. It always starts w an innocent hangout but he still does boyfriend duties and we end up hooking up. It feels good but also wrong at the same time. Is this normal? Am I too old for this F/30? I don’t do this with any of my other exes. Not even attracted to them anymo.

I just received an email to my personal account intended for someone else with the same name as me from their cousin wanting to reconnect. They said all these amazing things about this other person...

30F here and have no BFF type girl friends. Anyone else?

18LPA vs 3.3K euro per month in Belgium/NL? Please advise. Family of three and i am okay to join my kid in a Dutch school since he is only 3yrs.

I’m in a rather peculiar situation. I have been in the HR field going on 4 years, I have over 11 years of management experience, I got my PHR last year and I recently graduated with my MBA with a concentration in HR this month. I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.

I recently met my close friend’s boyfriend and he made a good impression…until he tackled me. Now I don’t know how to raise it with my friend. My friend and I live in different parts of the country so I was looking forward to both of them visiting me since it seems like her happiest relationship. We were enjoying a picnic in the park by the lake and I don’t even know why but he started saying he wanted to rassle me (or however wrestling would be spelled in a fake accent) but (Cont…)

Going on maternity leave in a few months and my manager just gave me a new long term assignment. I want to put my best foot forward and help out but I am also exhausted. What to do? I just want to nest in peace.

Bit o’ good news… my girlfriend’s mom came to visit after 3.5 years of not wanting to meet me 🥰 and she was very nice, even brought me a gift! 💕

He said he wouldn’t marry me unless I follow him back to his home country. Make the leap for love or don’t settle for someone who decides on geography over you?

If you say “work wife” I’m judging you. Grow up

I think leadership in my company is just gearing up to sell:
1. When I try to refactor, organize, or address tech debt in the code, I get heavy pushback with no real justification (they just say “keep it simple”) and no stated initiatives to fix said debt. Thanks, I guess I’m just an impetuous child.
2. Marketing wants “more logos” to attract a 2nd round of investment.
3. No long-term vision for our “product.”
4. Way more personnel,no innovation
I feel undervalued, yes, but this is pretty sus

Feeling so down. I have friends but a next to nothing social life, I’m sitting at home on a Friday night doing nothing for maybe the 7th week in a row. All my friends are in relationships so they’re content with staying in and watching movies or playing board games but I hate that but don’t want to go out alone. I work so hard all week hoping to have a fun weekend and blow off steam but I always end up alone

Does anyone ever question the possibility of going to law school?

I’m a 23yo female legal assistant working/living in Canada. I am completing my BA in hopes of continuing with law school after. But, I just turned 23 and I’m anxious about my love life and starting a family. I haven’t had a boyfriend since 2019 and I’ve poured my heart and soul into my education & career.

I’ve always wanted to go to law school since age 14. But I also want a husband/kids. I don’t feel like I can have both.

Question for the young people... What's the go-to shot at a college bar nowadays? Back in my day (15 years ago) Jager bombs were all the rage...are those still a thing?

Why do people think years of experience equates to a title or salary? That’s the most account thing I’ve ever seen. Does anybody care about the work anymore?

How do companies get categorized when it comes to CC companies (i.e. shopping, dining, travel, etc)? For example, I made a few payments to a travel company but Chase isn’t marking it as travel and therefore I’m receiving less points than I thought I would. Anyone have insight on this?

Hi Toronto (and GTA)

Can anyone suggest good pgs near office areas? (Hyd)

If EY goes public, would existing partnership agreement terms/conditions basically cease? In other words, would a PP’s new ownership (in the form of stock) essentially mean that most (if not all) prior terms (e.g. a forced retirement age) go away?

What was your lowest moment at work so far? And how did you get back up again afterwards?

In a happy mood today, long may it last 🙏

I find it silly that many people reacting to the leaked SCOTUS draft about Roe didn’t read it or the related relevant statutes. They immediately jump to the age-old assumption that there’s a complete ban on abortion, including in incidences of rape and medical emergencies.

My roommates boyfriend is literally always here. I’m honestly getting really annoyed. Like he was here 4-6 days last week.

Need some advice/ thoughts: a year ago the the person I thought it was the love of my life dumped me. She went radio silent and hasn’t spoken to me since. So recently I noticed that on our classes WhatsApp (we met during our EMBA) and I noticed she comments whenever I comment. About three weeks ago people stated posting summer get together pics and she didn’t comment on any of them. And then another classmate posted a Muslim holiday post…no comment. And she always comments on those. Continue:

Confession: got “fat” during COVID and getting back to me now. Appreciate what it means now. 🤷‍♂️

Can someone tell me why there is radio clean version of WAP? I'm still sliding my nose like a credit card.
