In the very beginning stages of hanging my own shingle (family law attorney) and just found out I am also pregnant with my first child. I am anxious about both. Any advice from other Mommy Entrepreneurs successfully doing both, esp if a newborn and a brand new business ???

Am I crazy for doing both? Firm was in the plans, baby was not but Id like to not have to put the firm on hold if its doable!! Baby is #1 priority of course, now.

Anyone stuck in an unhappy marriage? How do you deal with loneliness of this profession and complicated family life

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Partners with kids and a working spouse, how do you manage? Is it realistic for both people in the relationship to work full time long term? How do you keep marriage going and career progressing?

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

What is the funniest/dumbest thing a sibling or friend talked you into doing as a kid? My best friend convinced me that playing soccer with a basketball would be a good idea and I broke my foot 🤣

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time. She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart. And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?

Is possible to have "real friends" in the ad world? Do you trust your coworkers or do you feel that they are going to throw you under the bus just to save their asses?

Did yall hear about the Chicago mom who had her kid taken away because she wouldn't accept that her child was transgender? As a parent, that's actually kind of scary that the government would that with no basis of abuse or neglect. Smh

Real estate help: Boyfriend and girlfriend buy a home together with a loan from bank. Boyfriend and girlfriend are now separated and both agree that girlfriend will live somewhere else. Both agree that they would like to take girlfriend off the deed but also off the hook with lender bank. What would you do in this situation as attorney for girlfriend?

I’ve been married for a while now (5+ years) but feeling completely checked out. My wife has zero conflict resolution skills and can’t control her anxiety, so we constantly bicker if I ever do anything that offends her, and she wants to spend all her time talking about the constantly changing projects she will never start. I can’t ever talk about anything that worries me because she just freaks out. We have kids and she has no ability to earn money so leaving would be impossible financially

GF is 32 and I’m 28. She wants kids within 2 years, understandably. I never envisioned having kids that early (more like late 30s), but I like her a lot. Anyone else gone through something similar?

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?

Why doesn't my wife get that it's just me and the great dane now. She making this awkward wanting some room in the bed.

Any book recommendations to gift my cousin sister? She studied (masters) psychology and is a trained classical dancer.

I'm actually happily married with a stable, normal life now, but I like lurking in the confessions bowl because I love all the messy drama.

How can I approach my boyfriend who has an alcohol problem to help him get healthier ?

My ex and I have trouble remaining broken up. We’ve broken up over 9 times (9 times!). It’s dysfunctional, but we generally love being around each other and it feels comfortable. What to do? (Cont)

How have you combated your fear of rejection? I fixate on such small things as when my friends, for example, reject plans I have made. This definitely makes me more averse to putting myself out there and makes me ruminate on past perceived failures, which are clearly not good for personal growth

Two kids under the age of 8 and I find that I struggle to spend enough quality time with them between their school and activities and my unpredictable job. What do you folks do to be better parents?

Any moms on here that absolutely love their company and feel 100% supported?

Chicago 🐠: a friend is moving from CA to IL and is planning to rent a place somewhere in north burbs(Northbrook/Deerfield/Vernon Hills). He’s looking for 3+bd/2+ba townhomes/SFHs which will allow small dogs. Any advice on finding a broker? It seems Zillow or other portals are not very helpful at this moment. Any pointers are highly appreciated. TIA.
