Any one have unique customs/traditions to share? Looking to establish our own ways of celebrating.

What’s working right now for the restaurant industry? What’s bringing sales in? And what’s a waste of time?

Non-ADHD significant other of an ADHD lawyer here. He is going through a really demanding period of work right now and I am doing my best to support him by doing all the domestic stuff - food, chores, walking dog etc. I think it's starting to take a toll on me now, but I don't know how to ask him for a bit of support without either sending him into a guilt spiral or adding to his stress. Help? Advice?

I just want someone to be afraid to loose me

What’s the starting salary of IA associate at Goldman Sachs in HCOL?

Good news - I’m lateraling to a new firm next week! Any tips on being a successful associate at a new firm? I’ve been with my firm since before law school so I’m nervous about building relationships and my reputation from scratch.

Has anyone had an offer retracted or offer compensation change because of visa requirements? I disclosed it on the job app but they never enquired. I have an offer now but they said they need to confirm with immigration before they can produce the offer letter

Where do you work? (comment)

Anyone working in IBM mysore??????

Has anyone heard of Kuba Pay?

If you don’t have a job right now, did you qualify for unemployment or the pandemic unemployment? Anyone not qualify for either?

Why are FIRE minded people into having multiple investment properties? It sounds like a nightmare having to deal with tenants and if you want dividends, can’t you just invest in REIT or preferred stock ETF? Are returns that much better?

Cold showers hit different

Am I tripping? Everyone loves calling my daughter (2 months) "lil chocolate drop" or "look at all that chocolate". I love my daughter's complexion, not only because it's mine, but because it's beautiful. However, I can't help but feeling like ppl "other" or make it weird by avoiding saying dark. Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.

Potential unintended consequences of my parenting decisions is the most stressful thing ever.

The “right” approach can feel so clear one moment, then feel like a huge mistake the next.

Do any parents have a Lovevery discount code? Also, are there other similar services I should look it? Our LO is due in 3 weeks. So, I want to get him off to a good start.

Seeing local parents reacting to the public school lottery results in DC, got me super nervous about when it’s my kids turn.

I hate the idea of having so little control.

Thank y’all for starting this bowl! Newly expecting mama here 🤰🏾I’ll be 11 weeks tomorrow! My husband and I are praying that I give birth to healthy 🤴🏾 or 👸🏾. I look forward to learning from this group!

Any homeschool parents in the group?

How much per week/month do you spend on daycare?

Hi Parents, need recommendation for taking care of kids hair. My kids are mixed race and their hair gets easily tangled to the point where we spend an hour to untangle the mess. Hair is also dry and the conditioner and or oil doesn’t seem to help. What are some of your go to products and routine? TIA

Any of the sisters deal with gestational diabetes but already had a restrictive diet pre and during pregnancy?
Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy. So not surprised I couldn’t process their drink-I don’t consume stuff like that regularly. I walk a mile or do HIIT training 5x/ week. The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)

Thanks all for this group. 1st time expecting dad 🧔🏾.

I’m a little bit all-over the place and not sure where to start financial planning from.

I live in a Tier-1 city and think it’s necessarily to move to Tier-3. It’s important that my kids grow up in a house vs. apartment. Also need to stretch my dollar as far as possible.

Total comp - $180K

How much should I budget for the 1st year of baby?

Father of two princesses. 2 years and 4 months.

Talk to me about discipline. What age did you really start laying down the law? Im patiently waiting out the terrible twos but at some point will need to reign it in if this continues...

Anyone have kids that struggle with night terrors?

My daughter had one for the first time last night and it scared the crap out of me. It was like she didn’t know who I was.

How are you all managing COVID anxiety for the little ones?

My wife and I are fully vaxxed now and we know kids seem to not be impacted much by it, but it still feels irresponsible to go back to “normal” if it means putting them at risk.

Where can I get good and affordable baby clothes 0-3 months?

Ladies, any suggestions our 8th anniversary gift for the wife? We are in our early 30s. I am running out of ideas over the year 😔.

New Dad here. 8 weeks in and I don’t feel the imagined bell and whistles of fatherhood. Is this normal?
