I know we aren’t doing vacationing anymore, but did you guys ever dread doing a family trip? Like the vacation itself becomes stressful?

Yes, took 3 in the past 5 years. 1st one was stressful but great, we went to Hawaii 😁. The other 2 😒

When the kids were little yes, but then they became better travelers. I also outsourced the planning, which I realized was most of what I found stressful.

We distinguish between “trips” and “vacations.” Anything for work or with family is a trip.

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

Anyone have three kids and working in big law? I just found out I’m pregnant with no. 3 and it’s been a lot trying to juggle morning sickness, but based on my experience, I know this is only the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come. My husband and I are elated, but the anxiety of being a mom of 3 kids and working in big law is preventing me from truly enjoying this news. It would be good to know what it’s really like having 3 kids so that I can evaluate how long I really have left in big law.

I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled. Does yours say to wait 90 days to rebook and were you able to book immediately on the 91st day? Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.
