How is everyone planning on structuring their family leave? Trying to figure out how much time my husband should take off upfront with me as opposed to saving for later while we wait to hear on childcare timelines

Is anyone using a service where they accept payments online (planning fees, monthly 401k fees, etc) where the client can pay using debit/credit card?

Should I take loan on my 401k to complete 20% down payment for home that I am buying or should I just go with 5% down payment and pay mortgage insurance?

I was not prepared to feel so lonely changing careers in my 40s. No regrets on the new path or the new company, but it's clear my friends can't relate to what I am going through right now, and my wife is just not the person I can talk to about this. Generation gap with my colleagues probably isn't helping either.

So I recently got engaged (yay!) and have spent this fiscal year distracted and billing just enough to get tasks with due dates off my plate. Wedding planning is taking up a lot of my time and energy right now (even with a planner). I’m also planning to take a personal leave for 3-4 months leading up to the wedding/honeymoon. I would like to come back to this job but care more about enjoying this big life event. Has anyone found firms forgiving in similar circumstances?

Last December, my mom said I needed to check myself into a mental hospital. It was a deliberate attempt to hurt, she knew I was getting help and not at risk.

We've had little contact this year but I feel intense guilt about her not seeing her grandkid much. Im learning about our intergenerational trauma and how to set better boundaries. She continually violates them. She sends texts to say I'm "mean" and "ruining the holidays".

Does the guilt go away? Do you go no contact, kid included?

Got a boutique offer for 5k less than current salary with 1500 billable hour requirement. It’s 401k match unlike my current firm. Can someone weigh in on the value of 401k match? I’d also appreciate advice on how it looks to move from big law to boutique and whether this will make me less marketable. Thanks!

Seriously wanna divorce my wife who’s not necessarily a bad person but I feel angry about her all the time. I always have to fight with her over the small things. I feel she’s playing a power game and trying to take control whenever she gets the chance.

The only moment she steps back and be the person I want is when I get really angry and she can sense it. Why do I have to do this every time to get peace?

No kids, but even I am not afraid to divorce, I don’t feel it’s worth it!

My goal since early 2020 was to hit $100k NW by Dec 2021. It’s going to be March 2022 and I’m at $86k 😔 It’s mostly due to healthcare-related bills I didn’t anticipate.

How do you all *actually* set boundaries at work, especially during busy season? There’s a lot of advice out there about making appointments for any personal plans (workouts, dinner, etc.) and treating them as you would work appointments, but then you get the pings “hey we just got comments from the partner on XYZ, can you address them asap?” And pushing back on that for other stuff that’s not an emergency would get frowned upon. I feel like I’m running myself ragged - senior if that’s helpful

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space. People who aren’t diagnosed generally have misconceptions about ADHD and its symptoms, and I’m so grateful we have this bowl to seek help, learn from one another, and sometimes just vent! With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!

If you could retire in an international location, where would it be? I think I'd go somewhere in Central America

How is Brightworks as an agency? Seeing a lot of job postings and recruiter activity right now.

Hello everyone ,
I’m currently working in insurance customer service at an agency. I work in the mortgage department assisting w mortgage changes , payments etc. I’ve been thinking about becoming a claims adjuster most likely for property damage . Is it worth it ??? I hear a lot of talk about how claims adjusting is a lot of work and very demanding but I think my current position has prepared me for the challenge. What are some good companies I maybe should apply for after getting my license?

On a fast track for promotion, and also have a good standing/reputation already within my MM bank so far. I also have a complicated visa situation that my bank is handling.
Not closed off but not really set on PE or anything.
Is it still worth starting fresh and likely a delayed promo at an EB?

Anyone use a BPO service for their recruiting needs?

Had the craziest experience today at 1st ultrasound. Measured 6w5d (what I should be based on FET) but sonographer told me HR was 87 (low). I was hysterical (had a previous MMC after an initial low HR) and doctor came in and rescanned and said everything looked perfect and HR was 119 BPM! I am trying so hard to take comfort in the second scan but this is so stressful. Please send positive vibes my way 😭😭

Started wearing a support belt per my doctors recommendation because I’ve been having pelvic pain. Wore it for the first time today and this baby will not stop moving. Now wondering if I’m choking my baby and maybe she doesn’t like this belt? I haven’t felt the pain I normally feel and no back pain this morning but now I’m feeling bad. I don’t want to have comfort if it’s causing discomfort on my baby. Anyone experienced this?

Is drinking over 2 cups of coffee bad? I used to drink seeping 5 cups a day and less than 2 cups is killing new now

Thinking about getting an Uppababy Vista. Is it worth it? It’s so expensive. Also thinking about getting a secondhand one. I saw so many secondhand ones from 2015. Is it too old? Thanks!

When should I tell my boss/team that I’m expecting? I’m fully remote and don’t have to worry about “showing” at work, but want to give my colleagues ample heads up without jumping the gun too soon

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.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Just curious:

What food do you miss in pregnancy that you either cannot eat right now due to restrictions or due to your nausea?

Anyone else feel very anxious? I am 8 weeks and struggling to even get out of bed because I am just so overwhelmed by general, non-baby focused anxiety. I feel like I’m losing my mind!

I am over five weeks into pregnancy and have no pregnancy symptoms. Should I start getting worried and plan to take more pregnancy tests?

What is the latest in your pregnancy you would feel comfortable with your husband traveling? My husband is planning out his travel work schedule and is asking me and I’m honestly not sure!

I am driving both me and my husband crazy. We both work from home in a 4 bedroom home pretty decent size. My husband wants to do daycare and id prefer a nanny. Thankfully money isn’t the the concern, it’s more he thinks we’ll be distracted and I am nervous about anti-vax people and rise of polio and whooping cough. We went to a daycare we liked but they did they allowed religious exceptions which makes me uncomfortable. Would love to get feedback.

Silly question: When is the second trimester?

If truly 40/3 I would think 13w2d, but sources say 12, 13, and 14. You hear 12 weeks referred to as a milestone, but is that accurate?

I am 18 weeks and see watery thing coming out after peeing. It has weird smell. Google tells me that it can be amniotic fluid too... now I am freaked out... anyone gone through this ?

I have ADHD and executive dysfunction, resulting in horrid eating habits my whole life. My body just doesn’t tell me it is hungry and pre-pregnancy, I could go days without eating. My husband is the same way. I am panicked about staying on top of baby feedings and noticing patterns. The Pocket Nanny tracker where you press the button of the feed, diaper change, etc, seems to be popular but doesn’t log it anywhere. Has anyone heard of these and have a recommendation for one that logs as well?
