How has having kids affected your career?

US vs Canada Which country do you think is better for work and family.. I have offers from both the places and my head is blocked deciding between the two. Please provide your views.. 🙏

Your one single line of wisdom can really help me in choosing between the two.

my boyfriend admitted to me today that he feels like my stomach is "bigger than he initially thought". we met on a dating app and have been together 4 months. he says that i looked thinner in my photos.

the pictures i had were recent/present-day so im confused. im 5'10 and a sz. 12. im definitely not skinny, but am curvy in some areas and was always comfortable with my body. i asked him if he thinks im fat or if he's not attracted to me and he says no. so im like, well why did you say that?

Who uses Plickers? Thoughts? Are the kids required to have a computer? What alternatives have you used that don’t use a computer?

This pandemic has made me realize I really want to live full time on a lake and work remote from there. What approach would you take to make this happen? Aside from marrying a rich, 70 year old and becoming a trophy wife...

How do I get my fiancé excited about wedding planning? He thinks I am too bossy when it comes to planning but I just want to get things done and out of the way. I am a huge planner and do not like to procrastinate so I push to get things checked off to the lis.

I have missed all the milestones of adulthood like marriage, kids, buying a house, and it’s hard to make those happen at this age. My career is behind and I have high anxiety around aging poor. Wtd?

Child of immigrants here - my parents worked very hard to provide for my education and for that I am very grateful. But they also put a lot of pressure on me growing up to study and eventually to grow up to provide for my family. In part as a result I developed severe anxiety and depression in law school. I’ve since gone to therapy and I’m actually pretty happy with where I’m at right now in my career. But I struggled for many years. I recently told my mom the whole truth about my (cont).

How do we feel about prenups? Necessary or not?

Are you the SO that works long hours but your partner doesn't, or vice versa? How do you make sure to dedicate enough time to your partner when your working hours differ quite drastically?

Just had a surgery to remove a lesion that had 40% chance of becoming cancer. I had a group text to keep family & friends informed. Nobody from family actually called to check on me. Five friends called to see how I was doing and feeling. Parents are deceased, I’m the youngest sibling (+5 to 8 years older) and the only one anybody keeps in contact with. Time to cut family? They obviously don’t care what’s going on in my life. One sibling never even responded.

How has the transparency of salary, hours, working conditions, promotions of public accounting changed your life/career? Positives or negative?

Personally I was able to make more money, work less than I was and spend more time with family 😬

Is going through a “hoe phase” an appropriate response to a break up? On one hand I think it’s good to get out of your head, but on the other hand it might be used to avoid the core issue.

It’s been five months since I broke up with my ex. On most days I’m over it and understand that it was a bad fit and I just liked how much fun we had together. But today our joint playlist popped on Spotify and I thought he left it… I felt so fucking miserable in that moment. And while he didn’t leave it in so disappointed something so minor could make me feel so small… Meanwhile he’s out there forgetting I exist

How do you deal with a friend that asks you to repost his bad idea?

Does anyone of good dating app reccos for seniors? My gramps is 85 and is ready to “get back out there.” My grandma passed away last year and Covid has been particularly lonely for him.
