I’m 4 weeks pregnant and with busy season starting in full source today, I’m so nervous. I already feel tired and like my brain is not working at full capacity. Anyone have tips for first trimester during busy season?

Serious question. Has anyone left NYC to move to SF/Bay Area considering no impact in salaries or job opportunities? What made you or not made you make the move? Do you regret making the decision either way? For context: we’re an NYC based interracial gay couple. SO works in tech and I work in consulting. My goal is to ultimately move to do bizops in tech. Our HHI is around $700K annual and we’re looking to buy in a year. Long term plan is to have a child and a few pets; currently have none.

I may have to go bankrupt due to a medical situation in my family where I had to borrow a lot of money to help my mother. Is this something that would hurt me with potential employers?

Obesity is a chronic disease not a choice and it should be treated as such. By both “body positivity” challengers who too often say obesity comes from laziness and lack of strong will and by obese people who also too often shield themselves stating “this is how I am, it is impossible to change it” when in fact they do not want to accept that fat is literally killing them. Thoughts?

How old were you when you had your first child? Where were you in your consulting career and how did you make it work?

Favorite snack ? Mine is cut up bell peppers, bagel chips and baby carrots with dip :)

Does everyone have childcare, an extra nanny, and housekeeper to be able to work full time and live??? I’m just not seeing how I’ll be able to be an involved and happy mom while still working full time. Is it just the pandemic? I have nothing to compare it to. Please help!! What are people actually doing? I currently login at 7:30 to work for 30 mins, then get kids ready and dropped off for 8:45. Pick up is 3:15. It’s family time until bed at 7. exhausted, and have to fit in work & cleaning

Moms I know this is a very silly question. I am looking for a good hairbrush set for my baby boy who will be here this December . All baby hair brush sets are coming with a goat bristle one, wooden comb and a wooden brush. Do we really need all those for a baby boy? I am sorry for asking such a dumb question, but there are just so many options out there and I am confused if these are any good and useful

I am an obese female and already on track to lose weight. I want to start planning for a baby soon but want to do it after losing weight in about 6 months so that I have a healthy pregnancy. But also concerned that I am getting older, 32 already. Should I just go ahead and start planning or wait for about 6 months until I have lost a good amount of weight? What’s more important age or weight?

Etiquette question: our best friends have a 6 month old. Since he was a newborn, he has been around screens / TV a LOT. Like way too much. (Dad and Dad’s extended family loves TV). I’m due in March and we plan on zero screen time for baby until age 2 (we are also not big TV people). I’ve never said a peep to our friends because I’m not here to tell them how to parent, but once our baby arrives, how do I politely ask them to turn off TV when we are getting together? They often prefer to host.

Told my mom I wanted to get a lab grown diamond engagement ring and she freaked out saying I should go the natural route. Thoughts on this?

Is it unreasonable to ask someone from PT timezone to follow ET hours for 1 month during critical phase of the project? To be specific.. starting 9AM ET. Work day typically gets over at 6p ET or sooner sometimes, and this person makes it such a big deal and makes it sound like they are doing team a favor.

Hey working moms, did any of you go part time after first or second baby? Besides salary cut did work reduce? Was it worthy it?

Folks, Have been married for 15 years and have a kid of 11 years. My spouse is falsely accusing me of domestic abuse and trying to get separated. We have had incompatibility even before marriage on various issues but it was an arranged marriage, we tried to work it out and stay together. Her side is asking her to move on. She has taken my kids passport and kept it with her. What are the options I have to defend myself?

I am about to welcome back my top performer team member back from maternity leave. I know it’s a big life change, how do I support her return back to work as her manager? Any tips? I want to make it supportive and easy at the same time not make her feel awkward. Looking for the experience pool in this group - female manager and /or female mothers (what would have have liked or appreciated from your team)

Fully aware of Covid but my family and I are traveling to India in March. Which airline do you recommend for the best business class experience? It will be my husband, baby and I traveling. I’ve flown Emirates business and had a wonderful experience. Thinking of Ethihad or Qatar…??

My almost 4 MO EBF baby is spitting up all of a sudden after every feed. He used to have occasional spit ups ( once per week ) but suddenly it’s almost an ounce after every feed and he looks so uncomfortable before spitting up . He doesn’t roll over either ways and our pediatric nurse is like it’s probably GERD don’t mind. Waiting to talk to our usual doctor next week. Anyone else face this ?

Normal person: neck cracked, hmm must have slept wrong Me: hmm, I wonder if it’s cause I’m pregnant 😩 what do I do? Been trying and seriously obsessing over it. How do I just relax and let it happen?

How comfortable would you be flying on a plane (coast to coast- so driving isn’t an option) with an infant- 4-5 months old? I know cases are spiking, but I’d love for my family to meet my child and I’d also like to see them in person (it has been over a year). My pediatrician was basically like there’s no difference with months, and seemed horrified at the idea now and that waiting until the 12 month mark is better.

36F. Don't want kids. Am constantly judged by other women about this decision. My SM in particular talks about how there must be something inherently wrong with women (not men mind you) who don't want kids. That child free women will never be as strong as mothers, etc. Makes me really want to knock her upside the head. That is all.

Do companies check title during background checks? I left 2 months before making manager (promotion was confirmed to me) so was wondering if I can put manager even though it wasn’t official yet.
