Is it crazy to start a new job while newly pregnant?

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Need advice. I current work as a Staffing Specialist for a large and growing franchise. The company was recently bought out and our new parent company is making a lot of changes. The culture and environment is just not the same and has prompted me to dip my toe back into job hunting. I had a phone interview yesterday that went well and I have been invited to an on-site interview. Here's my question - I've only been in HR for a year. Do you think this is a good move or should I stick it out?

Hi Guys,

Both are offering same package and benefits, so which one is better? I have 6 yoe, MEAN stack.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

I've been trying to get my foot in the door with TikTok by creating a series of content that has never been seen before.

Hi! I was offered a full-time Social Media Manager role recently but the job scope seems to be exhaustive! I’m not sure if this is usual so it’d be amazing if you could chime in. I’m expected to be in charge of not only social media management but also email marketing (weekly newsletters), content production & creation, graphic designing, community management, customer service emails as well as blog writing and executing marketing campaigns. Is this the standard?

Viewed a studio apartment today. Excellent location, renovated, great price, back of the building. But it was sandwiched between the stairwell and the garbage chute. Is this a deal breaker? It’s on a lower floor of a high rise so assuming lots of ppl would be dropping their stuff down the chute.

How common are prenups in UK among middle-class? I'm thinking of asking my SO for one but I worry it would be viewed by anyone else as a one foot-out-the-door kinda situation. I'm just trying to be safe with little I have, seeing my friends' marriages.

This gave me hope and swayed my way to try it

Did my first egg retrieval today. In so much pain. Feeling discouraged because they counted 30 eggs during monitoring but only retrieved 13. Really sad and disappointed. I've already had 6 failed IUI's.

After finally getting approval for my ivf cycle and being on birth control for 2 months -my ivf cycle was delayed for a dominant follicle and they want to reevaluate several weeks later. I don’t have that kind of time. I’m also starting to question the abilities of my doctor as well since his nurses try to act like the doctors and respond on his behalf. Thinking of jumping ship elsewhere.

I did some ivf shopping and now I don’t know which one to choose. One is a university affiliated ivf center and the other one is a local /not a chain fertility center. I am open to suggestions and so overwhelmed.

My wife is a Fragile X carrier, so with this and trouble conceiving we are doing IVF and doing genetic testing on the embryos. There were 2 options Natera and Cooper. We went with Natera - and they take so long!! It sounds like it will be months before they send sample collection kits to us and close family members, then use those samples to develop a customized embryo test. Natera is fine with us beginning hormone stimulation in parallel, but our RE won’t allow it (no clear explanation why).

I have mild PCOS. My period is regular (28 to 32 days). We have recently started trying and are using the clear blue ovulation sticks to try to pindown ovulation days. Any success stories?

My husband and I are going through our 2nd cycle. He initially asked me to allow his sister to administer my injections because she’s a nurse and I refused. I don’t like depending on people when I am capable of doing things myself. This is taking an emotional toll on me already, but I don’t want him to feel like I’m refusing his help and excluding him from the process, because I won’t take his suggestion. How do I get him to understand?
