Interested to know - any dads here who started as a post-MBA Consultant with a ~3 month old newborn, dual-income household, and no close family support/reliable childcare? How did you manage your first year(s)?

Although I was in industry at the time I did this with two young children. Like others mentioned I went the Nanny route. IDK what I would have done without her. The kids were more excited to see her every day than anyone else. I still remember them peeking out the front window waiting for her car to pull in the driveway in the mornings.

I did this with a 10 day old - my wife was furloughed, and my parents moved to snowbird home. The first 3 months sucked - I had to coordinate off hours a lot given the newborn and my team understood.

It gets better - at the 3 month mark you’re just exiting the hardest period.

We pay almost a second mortgage for daycare in Chicago though.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
