I am considering becoming a SAHM after 10 years of practice. I have a great job - I am a non-timekeeping attorney in big law (strict 9-5), make good money, and feel valued by the firm. However, the work isn’t satisfying and recently 90% is AI nonsense. We’ve been struggling to find trustworthy childcare and I wonder if I’m going to regret missing this time with my child for meaningless work, especially since my income isn’t necessary for us. Has anyone done something similar?

I always believed Trump could sacrifice a baby at the alter of Satan and no one would bat an eye, but now that he's waging a war on Americans' pocket books, that changes things.

Working on a divorce where the father is claiming that he is unemployed because of the previous administration’s actions with DACA (he was brought to the States as a child). I know that the memo rescinding DACA was ultimately vacated—but OC is unsure whether this would count as voluntary unemployment for child support purposes. I believe it does as the application period to renew DACA benefits was reopened in 2020. Thoughts?

Planning to have a first child in 2023. Which type of insurance/deductible/OOP would be ideal?

I can't imagine being a single parent working in public accounting. Props to anyone who is.

Our 5 month old started daycare about 5 weeks ago. We’ve already had to keep her home for 2.5 of those 5 weeks due to catching various illnesses (croup, rsv, brinchiolitis, etc). Both my wife and I have been sick most of that time as well (gotten it from the baby). Wife is thinking we get a full time nanny for the next 4 months to help the baby build antibodies. Cost aside, is this feasible / worthwhile to go thru the effort / finding the right fit, only for 4 months?

How practical is living as a single parent in Europe (scotland/Norway)?

Feeling really nervous, help! I’ve been using topical hydroquinone 4% since before I found out I was pregnant. Now reading the label I realise that it’s not advised and a category C by the FDA - I’m 6 weeks pregnant and have obviously stopped now but really scared I might have caused serious harm to my baby.

Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid. Really struggling to pick up all of the slack from all of the colleagues that do have kids and feel like the expectation is that parents should turn off while the rest are working from 7am - 2am everyday to make up for it.

First time Dad and my 15 month old keeps running up the stairs at my in-laws place and they keep encouraging it. Stairs are almost 10 inches high with nothing underneath and I’m worried that he might slip and fall in between the stairs. My FIL is a bit of a know-it-all and keeps insisting it’s safe and I don’t agree. What do I do? Don’t want to fight the entire house full of people about this and kid enjoys it too much and cries a lot if I/we prevent him from climbing

Even if you have ZERO interest in the job, anyone else apply for open jobs on LinkedIn for which you know 100% you're immensely qualified/even overqualified—that is, the place would frankly be lucky to have someone of your experience/portfolio/reputation—all just for one reason: to see if you even get a f$@!*ng response? Or if yet again, you won't get through the ATS robo-gatekeeper?
