I am almost done with my first trimester and I’m scared to announce that I am pregnant to EY as there have been talks of layoffs before June 30! Should I wait longer or just go ahead and rip off the bandaid? Been stressing about this a lot , thinking people will judge me for getting pregnant 😢. Please help!!

My 6mo baby started daycare 3 weeks ago. We raised concerns about the frequency of feedings during the day (she was going for 5 hours without getting a bottle). The teachers assured us that would not happen again. Today I noticed she’s went for 5 hours without being fed. I cried so much and I just can’t sit here and eat knowing she’s not eating. I am hesitating calling again because I don’t want to be that parent and potentially create a hostile environment for my baby. I just don’t know wtd 😭😭😭

I just got a second $500 as a child tax credit. This is a credit against my child tax deduction for 2021, right? Weird that people like us are getting checks from the gov, but I guess its faster/easier than means testing.

Feeling like a horrible father today. I always make sure that I’m loving and happy and excited when I’m with my son, mainly bc my father was an emotionally unavailable narcissist. But yesterday I lost my temper trying to get his movie going on his kindle tablet in the car and ended up smashing it to pieces.

Currently a manager for an OP clinic. Gave my notice after receiving an offer back in patient care for more money and a better schedule. Spoke to my RVP today who had nothing but positive feedback. He asked for feedback on how to prep the next non-clinical manager as others in the region have been fired or underperformed. Should I be insulted he did not offer me a raise? Wondering if I should use this an opportunity to negotiate or run as I have been feeling undervalued?

I’m in big law and went on flex time (paid less, expectations of billed time decreased) well before COVID, due to family obligations. Anyone else here in the same boat?

I’m wondering if others have raised their flex time status as a way to kindly decline work if it gets to be too much... with big law layoffs and furloughs abound, speaking up feels like a catch-22. I’m the breadwinner, grateful to be employed, and trying to stay sane.

Do you consider college savings funds as part of your net worth? I can see why you would but then your net worth would decrease pretty quickly once your kid(s) go to college.

Talk to me about going from 2 to 3. I feel like 3 kids is such a rarity in this industry that it’s daunting to make the leap. I don’t know a single person in my office with 3 kids. I worry 3 is going take our lives from semi-manageable chaos to complete anarchy. But… I think we want a 3rd. My kids are young (toddler and baby), and if we do go ahead we’d want to do it in the next year or so.

My husband got exposed to someone with Covid on Monday night and tested positive on Thursday.
Now my 1 year old has Covid. So close to the vaccine coming out. He started to show symptoms last night. I feel so heartbroken and defeated. I did everything in my power to keep him protected. Didn’t socialize, didn’t take flights etc. He’s running a fever and I have been giving him Tylenol every 4 hrs.
Any one been in the same boat? Any tips to handle the situation? How not to feel defeated?

Anyone tried B6 and/or unisom for morning sickness? Did it help? Did your doctor advise it or discourage it?

Circumcision - this is a topic where I’m really stumped. I know it’s a highly personal choice, so I can tell you a bit about me and my husband:

- not religious
- liberal Democrats in a coastal state
- my family is conservative and all-American
- husband’s family is from the Midwest so pretty similar but the only cousin my son will have is uncircumcised (his mom is a lesbian and they live in the woods in Vermont).

I want to be progressive on this topic… (cont)
