I'm so glad to see the changes to accept more women in academia in recent years. I'm hopeful that my own daughter will be able to follow in my footsteps one year.

How would you feel going on vacation with friends who want to bring their kid along too?

Anyone else out there who’s spouse makes them feel worthless most days? I have got to get some kind of medication for this so I can keep working.

Male in my mid 30s. How many of you end up hanging out with younger people only to feel disappointed because the friends around your age are either married or live in some other state? Every time I hang out, I find myself questioning, what am I doing with my life.

Anyone else ever had your parents over to discover, after they left, that you’d left your vibrator sitting on the bathroom counter? The bathroom both of them used? Your super conservative, Christian parents? Anyone?

I used to be a special Ed teacher and changed careers to an executive assistant at BMO after facing major burnout from teaching. Now that I’m a first time mom, i really want to work part time or even .75, but I do not want to go back to teaching right now. I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

Working remotely for a tech co and still can't get over how much more time I get to spend with my kids. To be honest, this alone is worth so much more than money can buy. For those who plan well, I really think exiting can be worth it if family is a priority. It's really helped my marriage also, I'm a lot kinder to my wife with way less stress.

My roommate can watch tv the whole day without taking any breaks. And she can do it everyday. Thats some sort of skills right? I honestly don’t understand that.

Dare your friends to name their kids Karen 😀

Any mums (or hoping to be one) out there - my wife and I have a 3 yr old. Just found out yesterday that 2nd pregnancy is a miscarriage 😢 my wife is clearly taking it harder than I am. Any suggestions, advice, blogs to make sure I can help her through the next few weeks and months

Been with a girl for years. We get along well and enjoy each other's company. We're comfortable around each other, and I've generally been happy with her. As we've begun talking about marriage, I'm really giving some deliberate thought as to whether she's the right life partner for me. I'd pondered it before, but our relationship progressed very organically so never gave it too much serious consideration.

Now that I think of it, cont..

A group of four of us are going out of town. Is it weird to ask my girlfriend to pay for her part or do I pay for both of us? One of my friends got the place so we’d need to pay them.

Okay from midtown and downwards: If your friend is visiting from out of town, where would you take them for dinner?

Got a big raise yesterday and told my wife and she was happy for me, but I didn’t share with family because I feel uncomfortable making so much more than my parents. Anyone else?

How much do you typically spend on your SO for Christmas?

I just want to be reckless and quit my job do nothing. I've always followed the rules and been a good girl and all its gotten me is misery in this job.

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial. Should I be teaching my young kids to read Quran in Arabic (so learn a new language just to read Quran but no value otherwise), or skip Arabic and have them read transliteration (so like Alhamdu lilahi) or third option to just read in English the translation where they will actually understand? I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?

A reminder: use the slow times to catch up on life, rather than wiling away the hours sitting at your desk waiting for emails to come in. This last week was my slowest in years, but used it to clean and organize my place, vehicle, and get the nursery ready for our first child. Time well spent.

I'm faced with 9,000 emails and I have to decide what's responsive to a discovery request. Do I review enough to get a gist of the personalities and narrative or read every single email?
