My parents are coming to visit for the first time since baby was born. We also have a toddler at home. Baby is 1 month old. They’ve each had the first vaccine a few days ago, so not fully vaccinated. They go to work which involves lots of strangers. Them to get tested before coming he said they will be with us for a full week. They are not, because face say that Hass should be reserved for those with symptoms. And the free tests are only for those with symptoms. This is so stressful and I feel so caught between my parents and my husband.

Manager: he is getting married in a month and it's an arranged marriage Senior manager: That's crazy that people from your country are still into arranged marriages Me: I find it a little hard to take advice from americans who go through divorces and are working to pay child support and alimony giving me marital advice *Crickets* later found out that my SM was divorced twice and was in his third marriage.

We just found out we lost our baby at 14 weeks; no heartbeat on the ultrasound today. D&C tomorrow. Husband and I are devastated, shocked, and don’t know what to do. Mamas who have been here, how did you heal? We don’t even know where to begin.

I, a childless woman who does not plan to have kids, am jealous of the parental leave parents get to take from work from choosing to have a child (a big life event). I 100% understand that they are working in a different way by taking care of the baby and being deliriously worn out in the process, but it makes me sort of jealous that unless I have a kid there is no life event that I can take ~3 months away from work to focus on and enjoy, plus have my hours prorated and a job to come back to.

One nice thing about having a kid: after five days at home, I’m thrilled to go back to work tomorrow

I’m thinking of starting an M&A one stop shop, supporting businesses in the industrial goods sector with consulting services focused on inorganic growth strategy, acquisition strategy, M&A design and execution, and integration. I’m thinking a differentiating capability could be creating a consortium of strategy, corp dev, legal, tax, and biz transformation experts. Does this sound like a good idea? And, is there a space today for this?
