Just going to whinge a bit because I've got no one to talk to. My parents have always been terrible with money. As a kid, when I couldn't help, my mom just beat me, so I learned to get useful quick. Since I was 12, I've worked to help support my family. I feel like I've lost my youth. Sometimes I want to just walk, but that'll leave my siblings holding the bag. They're much younger, so they never saw my mom at her worst. She's pretty normal when times are good.

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

Hello all! I hope you can help me out here.

How many times a week do y’all consider quitting. I’m a lawyer by background, my husband is in big law making like 5x what they pay me in big 4, and we work very similar hours.

I’m okay outsourcing housework but I wouldn’t want to have a live in nanny bc they are my children and I want them growing up with my care. I’m just really burning out/struggling/ finding it difficult to stay motivatd

I posted here some months back about my ectopic pregnancies but today, I'm posting to tell you all to hang in there and God will do it for you. (Please don't insult me of you don't believe in God because I strongly do).
In a nut shell, we had baby #1 without trying. Started trying for #2 and over 2 years, I had 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. In July, my doc informed me that the only way forward was through IVF. I was tired and confused. I PRAYED! and continued trying. (The rest in the comments.)

My best friend’s 10 year old daughter just got diagnosed with scoliosis. She is divorced and has always said her ex was a great father. Since the divorce a few years ago, she’s been more and more negative towards him now that he is moving on a remarried, having a kid etc. I sympathize and try to keep her positive but she’s constantly complaining and feeling like the victim about everything. She refuses to get a therapist. I told her it won’t be the worst thing if

Some context: agency let go about 15% of the company a month ago. I was warned by my dept lead more layoffs could happen if we don’t win new business soon. I’m 35w pregnant.

What scenario (if any) is most likely:
- That I’m let go before my mat leave begins
- I’m let go during mat leave
- I’m let go immediately after returning from mat leave

Seems like potential PR nightmare for them, but I can’t ignore the fact that I was given a heads up that layoffs could happen.

Anyone else have a gaslighting parent? I saw a therapist about my mom for years and it helped, but now in biglaw, it can be really hard to deal with. sometimes my mom delivers a punch to the gut via text in between months of being my friend. I guess I’m just so wound up, my mom’s friendship (which is how I characterize it) is a comfort for me. So when she hits me with something randomly spiteful and hurtful, it’s like shock, devastation, loneliness, and anger all at once.

Does anyone not feel comfortable leaving their kid alone with either parents or in laws due to their carelessness? How do deal with them constantly asking for your kid to sleep over at their house?

Hi investment fish. Looking for advice on best financial advisors or personal wealth managers in Chicago area. I'm switching jobs soon and also approaching $1M in net worth. Wanted a good advisor for things like 410k roll overs, tax/ retirement planning, etc. Been managing it all on my own until now and it's getting to be a lot. I know there's fee models like flat rate or % of $$ managed but little else beyond that. Thanks in advance!

Just got rid of all of my dating apps not because I found someone but because I’m done with them. Will either become a confirmed bachelor (more likely) or meet someone through friends

An old friend hit me up and asked me out! Both of us are in different states because of our jobs. We do video calls atleast 3 times a week. The individual is an introvert. They don't have many friends, interests nor desire to travel. They came over to see me over the weekend. I had planned to visit few places in the city. However, they were not interested to cover all the places and wanted to get back before it's too late. When we met, there were not many topics to talk about. Contd.

I hate how terrible recruiters are when you've entered their pipeline. I've been on interviews sometimes even 2 or 3! and get completely ghosted. no follow up, nothing. it's extremely rude. This is even after sending an email (maybe even a follow up) about what next steps are.

I'll add that this is for pretty senior roles too and it has happened time and time again. I'm so over it.

have you ever emotional cheated on your partner? what was the end result?

Ideological purity tests are the worst thing to happen to both the right and left wing.

In many parts of each camp, it is not sufficient to agree with one part or the other. You either accept the most aggressive version of the loudest part of the party's ideology or you're a "traitor."
