Single moms with babies (and no family around to help out): how much do you spend on childcare per month?

Hello everyone,
I’m supporting a mom who had a 2 month supply of breast milk in her freezer but the freezer stopped working at some point on Thursday after 5pm. I believe she shouldn’t re-freeze the milk at this point. She said the milk is cool but not frozen anymore. Do you have any suggestions please? Can she re-freeze it?

GF of 2 yrs will be moving to another city for MBA. Planning to talk about how we will manage the long distance relationship. Any advice from experienced 🐠s on what things are important to talk about

What would you do if you started developing feelings for a colleague? I recently (earlier in the year) went through a breakup of a long term relationship but shockingly got over him pretty quickly once I moved back home and on my own. I started developing feelings for a colleague about a week or so ago mainly because he ticks off a few of my boxes and is just SO easy to chat to and get along with. Is it too inappropriate to try to get to know him more? We’re also friends on social media

How to handle the dual employment in BGV? I have a friend who have a overlap of 30-40 days from his last organization which is not disclosed in CV and with current organization. I feel UAN check will spoil it but his overlap is cuz he wasn't able to return assets back during COVID. Any suggestions?

Op-Ed: As a black man with parents from Africa, I feel like Black people have been receiving reparations for decades now. Any further reparations are most likely going to be a waste of resources and regressive—especially if their fiscal.

Take someone like me:

A. Grew up in a single parent home with six brothers.

B. Had to move eight times in eight years because we were always renting a house.

C. I have three brothers who are either in jail or is a recovering addict.

But me (cont’d)...

Working from home for a year and I’ve found moments that I don’t know what to do with myself, I just sit and wonder what to do after I’ve done everything. Any tips on how to stay upbeat and fulfilled from home? I go for walks but it’s going to get cold soon.

For gay men, do you prefer open or closed relationships? And why?

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

I got engaged recently and I don’t want a wedding, so it will likely be courthouse. However, I’m toying around with the idea of a close girlfriends party (not sure whether it’s a bridal shower or bachelorette type of thing). New to this so bear with me. I have really close friends across 2 continents and that would mean having two separate events/ party. Has anyone here had a similar thing where you didn’t have a wedding event but a separate party for friends? How did you pull that off? TIA.

Three female former remote colleagues invited my husband on a trip (no spouses). Husband agrees it's not appropriate but I think he’d consider going if said I was fine with it. All are in their 30s with spouses and same aged young kids. Am I selfishly depriving him of a trip with friends? What is “normal?” My perception of normal/acceptable in these types of situations is skewed after a rough prior relationship many years ago.

Continued, details in a comment below.

How to constructively talk about the long term future with SO? We (both 26) have been together 6 years with the last 3 as LDR. We are supposed to be moving in together over the summer, but given she is moving across state lines I don’t think this should be a light decision. It’s reaching the point that if we don’t move in I don’t think we should continue dating and I also don’t want her to move in without talking in detail about core relationship topics (marriage, finances, etc).

I want a baby but I want to go to law school next year but I also want to move to the islands next year (and I also don’t have a man but that’s besides the point). Decisions decisions.

Let's try something: Wisdom Wednesdays. This week's topic is: advice I'd give my younger self. What's something you needed to hear as a first or second year lawyer?

For me, it's that you are in charge of your own career and no one cares about it like you do. Ask for what you want and make your own opportunities. Doing great work is a good first step, but it's not enough to really build the career you want.

“Summary dissolution”- divorce.
Does “property” means real-estate or bank account/stocks, etc as well.

Context- “property” less than $47k qualifies for dissolution, if not you have to go long-form process

I just asked the partner if he got a haircut because his hair looks nice 🥴 why am i so cringe?? I swear I don’t know how to act around the partners lmao. Does this happen to anyone else or just me?

Opposing Counsel refuses to acknowledge me in any emails, doesn’t answer my phone calls, and does not include my name on the signature line on any documents even though I am the handling attorney on this file. He only includes my supervising attorney and only responds to her. It’s so frustrating. Why are ppl like this?? What can I do? Should I continue to be annoying and email/call him?

Do you ever feel like people treat you differently at your firm because of your age? Like reverse ageism? As if you don't know enough or aren't competent enough yet? Just curious if others have ever felt this way.

When you email the partner with a question on one of your cases and he responds “okay thanks” lol
