This is one of the reasons why I ended up quitting all together. Now I stay home FT and somehow manage without any of those luxuries I thought I couldn’t live without!

When I hear female leadership talking about “work life integration”, the only thing that would get me on board would be an on-site daycare. Now THAT’S true work-life integration and being mom-friendly, not this BS about being able to work from home at 9pm after the babies have gone to bed (after a full day of work).

Sadly OP, it’s not insane at all. For stellar nannies (tons of great references, proactive, seasoned, etc), this is the norm in certain neighborhoods in nyc (manhattan/boug parts of Bk). Yes you can def get a great nanny for less (esp if you live in a non-boug area), but an experienced nanny knows exactly how much she can get paid in which neighborhoods (unlike our dumb industry, nannies do not undersell each other).

NYC suburbs, just paid my last $1750/month for my 4 year old’s full-day daycare. She starts private Pre-K next month at $830/month, a bargain! #2 on the way with plans still to be figured out, but when #2 hits 18 months that $1750 daycare bill comes back - alongside the private school tuition for #1.

One of my best friends growing up just passed away. We lost contact with each other a year or two after graduating high school and I recently came to learn he was was battling cancer the past 5 years and ultimately succumbed to the illness. He hid it well from everyone and led a very private life during it all. To make matters worse, he had just turned 25. Seeing pictures of the condition he was in towards the end of his fight broke my heart. I wish I had known so I could’ve been there for him.

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
