Well what exactly are you asking?

My recommendation would be to take care of your children but what exactly are you seeking advice on?

Agree with the above question. Situation sounds very challenging. This work almost demands that you’ve got a (little p) partner at home to make it all work. If you’ve got a great nanny, that helps a ton, but that’s also not a co-parent, it’s another employee with issues and needs. You’ve got a lot on your plate. I wonder if a more local employment situation would be better. I think North Highland mostly staffs locally. Or an industry role that doesn’t demand so much Travel and after hours extras

Seek a woman/man who can understand your world and perspective. Enjoy life!

You could do what my cousin did - met a woman at a gas station (she worked there) and married her for free child care (btw - I don’t recommend this approach)

North Highland and Slalom both do local staffing if you want to stay in consulting

Deloitte does local staffing too. Switch to a local position, potentially even work from home like CMT. Talk to your OMP. We take these requests seriously. Don't compromise when it comes to those kiddos.

Consider a permanent role or an internal rotation if you really like KPMG. Might give you the opp to dip your toes in something more stable without necessarily exiting.

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

My friend’s ex is trying to win her back and she hates being single and like I ~should~ discourage this, but on a selfish level I want to be able to go out on his boat again this summer.

Does ADHD have a big impact on your memory? It feels like if I don't have constant reminders set or leave notes for myself I can forget ANYTHING even if it's really important to me.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…
