I would really love to have a second baby but I’m a bit afraid as both my husband and I are over 40. Looking for key things to consider from anyone who had successful late pregnancies. Please advise!

Hello All anyone know about company “Reply” in London,UK?
I need to understand paternity leave over there.

This could work in a great way of stress burster. I mean if we can connect to Likeminded from corporate sector, it's a mother level of great feeling. And if that is of an opposite gender that's something else ☺☺

Thinking about adding my child as an additional cardholder on Amex or other credit cards to build up their credit. I don't know if they're ready to actually have the card in their possession, but idea would be to establish early credit history.
Does it work? Is the purpose really to "build their habits" as Amex website suggests, or do they actually benefit from a longer credit history & piggyback off my good credit? First-gen professional here, so appreciate advice & resources.

For moms with more than 1 child: what did you do for on call care for your oldest when you went into labor with your second child? Our family is 2-3 hours away so we are trying to gather a list of closer options until family can arrive. We will ask some friends, but feel we need a longer list of options in case someone falls through or we can’t get in touch in the middle of the night.

My friend slept/has been sleeping with a guy who has a GF and she is pregnant - this happened after I warned her to not do that and it’s a bad fantasy she doesn’t want to experiment with….
I am very sad to the point that I do not want to be friends with her. I feel so bad for the pregnant woman and also mad at the guy and my friend. How should I navigate the situation?

I don’t understand what makes seemingly super sweet and kind people be this way 😭 WTF

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.

Anyone here adopt a puppy during the infertility struggle? Husband and I considering it to have something positive throughout this situation and thinking the extra companionship would be helpful. I work from home. Husband has had many family dogs and lots of experience with it, I’ve had a family cat before. But not sure if it’s actually a good idea - wondering if it would truly help make us feel better and keep our minds off of the struggles or if it would just add extra stress. Thoughts?

Something I used to do with my father before he died was fixing his home garden. Thanks to that now whenever I get a new property to sell I dedicate myself to fixing the garden before showing it, I learned to do it very fast and very aesthetically. Have you ever fixed houses by yourself to improve sales?

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.

In one hand, Consulting is great for the family, you can be home at hours others can't to be part of your kid's daily life (breakfast, school pick up, bath time, etc.) in the other hand, consulting is hard, when your home you are there, but often pulled away to do night work, presentations, and SOWs. Client work needs to get done (at the same time my son is my number one client) Any Dad's out there who have some good guiding principles they have found useful to strike the balance (knowing some days things are just not balanced)?

I know therapy is useful. How do we get most out of our therapy sessions?
How do we track or monitor the progress with therapy?
(FYI - I have always been a nerdy kid pressurized by parents. I am finding it a little difficult to maintain and handle friendships. I have realized that dealing with emotions is important. My manager from previous company was toxic. I had a recent break up. My grandfather died last month. Recent events have taken a toll on me)

Has anyone heard of Doug reeves? Just curious a district in my area is having him speak at a virtual meeting coming up on ways to improve D and F grades.He has a sketchy past from being in jail for embezzling money for an organization and years ago he was accused of molesting a coworkers child then several years go by and he was acquitted. Regardless if he was acquitted or not why would a district hire this professional speaker to speak to a group of teachers?? How about someone with a cjeanrr

So he is still alive? That was a waste of a suspenseful teaser. And obviously someone was a big baby toda fan.

Always wanted to adopt a puppy and this time seems perfect as I can be home all day for months to give the puppy the attention it needs in its initial months. I can’t decide on what puppy to get. Live in a hot climate area and own a big house with a decent size backyard. I am wanting to adopt either Labrador, golden retriever, Pomsky husky or a German shepherd. What would be best for a first time dog parent?

A child that kicked ,punched and spit at staff and students.He wanted was to go to the principals office. In the principals office he played with Legos, cars and toys. Rewards for bad behavior.

M30🐠 here in financial services who repeatedly receives comments about my baby face and looking like young / high schooler etc and can't grow facial hair. It's especially limiting given peers and juniors look 5-10 yrs older than me and clients think they are senior to me.

I think an online branding / stlylist consultant could help me look more mature. Eg what frame style / color glasses, hair style, clothing.

Any recommendations or experiences?

Hello! I need advice. I have 5 years of digital marketing, project and team management experience. I’ve been doing design work w/o realizing ux/ui was a career since the beginning. I didn’t keep record of those projects but I created a portfolio to show proof of knowledge/skill but it’s not lengthy. I know how to use design software, wireframe, prototype, and I do feel like a lot of my knowledge/ skills are relevant. Should I be going after Jr, mid or senior lvl UI roles?

I'm a former Oracle employee. I was told, specifically and without question that I was legitimately able to continue to use the AT&T Oracle FAN corporate discount program after I was no longer an employee. I have had that discount for the past 11yrs, until last month. I think I am being screwed by AT&T. Could a current Oracle employee reply to this post with the specific details of the current A&T corporate discount program? Think it was 23% on services. Please past the terms here.Thx

Med mal rates are low. I love the work but worry about other partners not valuing me because I have lower rates than they do. Anyone else dealing with this?

Does anyone else find themselves working out less and snacking more when it’s cold, gloomy, and snowy?

Any tips and tricks people use to not do this? Winter weight is adding up.

Soooo hungover... Had to drop off a call to puke, reconnected and claimed technical issues. Damn team dinners 😜😡. And as for the team -you know who you are- thanks...

Generally speaking, is “two weeks notice” reasonable with a plaintiff’s firm?

Anyone mind sharing what they left PA for? Trying to get some ideas here, I’m in tax but would appreciate any non-standard exit opps too!

Anyone else feel TOO much loyalty to their teammates? I have a good opportunity on another account that would really progress my career, but I feel so guilty leaving the team I’ve worked with for so long. And I’m scared that the new team might not be nearly as good!

Female fish of Deloitte - have you had any success negotiating pay? I like where I work but am SEVERELY underpaid which I know from bill rates on my project along with general paybands. Really don’t want to put all the effort in to leave if I could just get paid what I’m worth.

Want to buy a gift for a friend in China. I normally send her Amazon gift cards when she was in the US but can’t do that now. Any gift cards that work in China?

Ok I feel like I have really missed the girl train on this one but


What the heck is a blowout?

My parents are both immigrants. My mom was orphaned at age 7 and moved to the US after feeling like she had no future in her country. My dad won a visa lottery months before completing his economics degree abroad but came to the US for a better life. They both work hard and things have not been easy. Today I got to take them to a nice dinner to celebrate my first 6 figure salary. They said this is the better life they came here for. I’m beyond grateful.

Book recommendations? I like thriller/suspense, biographies, autobiographies, inspiring novels - for reference some books I’ve read and loved are all of Sidney Sheldon’s novels, Educated, Michelle Obamas autobiography, Jodi Picoult books

My mom just had spinal surgery and the news is that she may never be able to walk again, and will probably need bladder control support for the rest of her life. She had a stroke when I was 19 that left her right foot paralyzed, and I thought that was going to be the hardest thing I had ever gone through. Now I’m 25 and I don’t know how I’m going to get through this...

I'm tired of the rat race. I want time & energy to enjoy with my family. I want to offer real value to clients & be productive towards making a genuine impact that helps others. Is that even possible in consulting?

Are there any slow paced consulting gigs that aren't all smoke & mirrors? I'm 2.5 years into consulting & feel this isn't the best fit for me. I'm tired of the PowerPoint slides, Excel sheets & endless networking. My background is in Advocacy & Learning Development. What do I do?

Ahhh the good ole “partner track”
My male coworkers (interns included) are told “you’re on the partner track, skippy!” but I never hear the same about my female colleagues (manager & below) or myself

Experiencing significantly more back pain since the last month. The work setup hasn’t changed. It’s a generic desk, footrest and ergonomic chair. Suggestions welcome on what I can add to my setup to make it more comfortable. I do take breaks and stretch once in two hours.

Where can I sell my gently worn 1-2 times Indian clothes? Thanks

How do you make conversation with older white male clients? I'm a younger non white female who doesn't play golf and I find it hard to strike up a rapport with this (pretty typical) client profile.

Does quitting a consulting company in about 6 to 7 months of joining earn a bad reputation especially if your next jump is to a client position (to be clear not being poached!!) ? Because the industry is small and niche - will this impact my career in a negative manner?

Ladies - how do you “ghost” a guy? Do you just stop replying to texts?

Any advice for being the SO to someone in business school? We live together in the city he has lived in his whole life, so now he’s got high school, college and now B school people trying to hang out, and has no time for me.
