Help me out bro-dads: we are traveling to my hometown for Christmas with all the kids this year to see my extended family. What are best practices for having Christmas not at home; how does Santa visit? And how do you bring the gifts back?

Flying? Driving?

We flew a years back for Christmas and brought an extra suitcase. We also prepped my family letting them know we would be limited on space so they should be mindful of that while shopping and not to go overboard (bah humbug, I know). We only have one kid though, so this may be harder with 2+ kids.

My daughter was too young to understand Santa at the time, but we'll be out of town again this year as well and she's old enough to ask questions like what will happen with Santa since we're gone. We just told her that Santa knows where we're at he'll make sure to visit. If it's at a grandparents house, have them get a stocking for them (or bring your own). If there are a bunch of other kids (cousins or whatnot), you may need to coordinate with their parents to make sure everyone is on the same page, has the same plan, etc.

Driving. I do like the stocking idea. Im having my fam deliver gifts to my sister as we’re staying by her (Airbnb). I also have a friend donating a tree for us to set up as well.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

First-gen and new hire in my first job. Vyvanse was typically covered under my parents’ insurance but now I’m looking to sign up for (my first) health insurance plan with my employer. I’m worried if Vyvanse will be fully covered or not. Anything I should look out for?

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢

Hi guys, I have got one full time job for 14LPA from 10.5LPA in Coforge for BA role. On the other hand, I have one more offer for Canada and the job is on 2 years contract basis with 80k CAD per annum where I have to sign 2 years agreement as well that I can’t back out once I get the offer. I was interested to go CA but scared in terms of job security, economic slowdown and a big change. Is it worth going to CA on contract basis job declining the full time opportunity in India.
