long distance relationships, do they work?

Tips for helping kids stay on task during zoom? Our little class (9 kids) has been doing zoom circle times twice a week but I noticed they are really distracted. Also every meeting a kid leave...

Does anyone ever question the possibility of going to law school?

I’m a 23yo female legal assistant working/living in Canada. I am completing my BA in hopes of continuing with law school after. But, I just turned 23 and I’m anxious about my love life and starting a family. I haven’t had a boyfriend since 2019 and I’ve poured my heart and soul into my education & career.

I’ve always wanted to go to law school since age 14. But I also want a husband/kids. I don’t feel like I can have both.

I’m single. It’s me & the dog.

I have 3 accountant friends.

Sometimes, especially during busy season, I talk about my job a lot; because it’s all I have.

I have a few friends, who put down what I do & are bothered when I talk about work & the hours I’m working.

I didn’t see them during the pandemic or miss them.

Feeling I work my ass off & being annoyed by them putting me down, has put a chip on my shoulder, I’m okay with never seeing them again, does this make me a bad person?

Welp, I’m off to the home office while my wife goes and plays D&D with our new group. Sad to miss it, but feeling freaking lucky as F that I have a fun partner. We also kill at Fortnite together 🥵

So about that thing with the guy and the agency and the breakup. Sus af.

Does anyone have experience with a prenup/postnup? I have been wanting to get a postnuptial because I did not think about these things when I got married. We make the same salary, have separate accounts, but I have been building my wealth and working hard at saving my money while he has a mountain of debt and doesn’t save. It scares me to think if anything happens, he could just take half of my assets.

I love living in Miami, but have found it incredibly difficult to make friends. I had a thriving social life/ friend group in Chicago. Anyone else finding it hard to build friendships here?

Who uses Plickers? Thoughts? Are the kids required to have a computer? What alternatives have you used that don’t use a computer?

Learned that my dad’s having an affair, potentially multiple. Don’t want to tell my mom - it’ll totally destroy her. She’ll probably smash his head or something, and she’s not one to ever forgive. Should I be confronting my dad about this? What will come out of that?

Reached out to an ex after not being in contact for 4 years. Said “Hi, I hope all is well.” No response. Intention was not to get back together (we’re both married now), more to mend fences since we were good friends once upon a time. Was reaching out a mistake?

Is your partner your best friend too? Or should they? In my case, they are 2 different people and it’s hard to manage their expectations

Anyone else just go through a break-up? Mine happened just now... i don’t feel anything yet.

I got engaged recently and I don’t want a wedding, so it will likely be courthouse. However, I’m toying around with the idea of a close girlfriends party (not sure whether it’s a bridal shower or bachelorette type of thing). New to this so bear with me. I have really close friends across 2 continents and that would mean having two separate events/ party. Has anyone here had a similar thing where you didn’t have a wedding event but a separate party for friends? How did you pull that off? TIA.

How do you find a healthy balance between your job and your personal life?

Best self-care tips for dealing with loneliness/sadness this time of year? This is my first Christmas without my mom and it just feels like nothing will ever be the same again 😭. If you’ve lost a parent can you give me advice on getting through the holidays? Being a parentalish figure to my students is both healing and heartbreaking.

Graduated law school, passed the bar, and started my job last summer. My wife and I got pregnant with our first sooner than we expected, and we're due in June. Any general tips/advice?

New to Phoenix! 30 year old consultant. Ideas on how to make friends? 😁

My husband and I have had problems for years. He used to basically give me next to no affection, our sex life barely existed (incl. his absolute refusal to do foreplay … ever!) and his general dismissal of anything I enjoyed (my hobbies were boring to him). Over the last year I just gave up trying and accepted we may need to divorce. Now he is trying a lot- he puts in a lot of effort. While a few years ago this would have made me happy I feel like it’s too little too late, I just don’t care ..

What usually warrants a married couple to start living separately and coparent their child? No job or financial constraints just that the wife moved from the house with their child to an apartment nearby.

How many of you ladies are planning or ended up being a stay at home mom post maternity leave? I'm really considering it because I've always desired to stay home for a few years in child's first few years of life and we can afford it, but I'm also feeling a little sheepish about my work reputation and losing a great role (since I would have to quit). This will be my first child, FYI

Read your childrens’ diaries every week. That way you know if you’re not giving them enough privacy.

Did anyone notice this around in their cities/neighbourhood/family ?

I still f-up things that I have been doing for years due to anxiety. Simple things like introducing myself. I have to present but don’t want the attention probably, so I ramble through things quickly

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

How much can make monthly in Singapore for 4 years experience software testing

I’m from the Bay Area, CA. It’s notoriously expensive and I’m thinking about moving to Colorado.
Is there anything good over there that is similar to California? I know I gotta sacrifice the beaches but I’m quite young so I would like to make friends but definitely not a party go-er.

Has anyone had this experience before?

Have you ever felt like you were one persona during interviews but after accepting an offer, the vibe was a complete let down so then you're like a different person than who you "sold" in interviews?

Are any fish members of either Hidden Creek in Reston or National Golf Club in Ft. Washington? If so, any opinions on joining? They are FAR from top tier, but getting a tee times at the daily fee courses is becoming too much of a hassle.

Is Intel started layoff in India? Is it good time to join @intel

Why these scrum masters think creating one call from morning to evening will solve problems easily.

In name of solving issues it more like micro managing.

In CTS after submitting the resignation, how many days does it take to get the LWD email and confirmation on the resignation acceptance ?

Guys please help me out here,
I Resigned on last friday from the portal and i have 2 concerns at the moment i'll cover that in 2 posts.

But when i came out of the resignation window it was showing resignation submitted on 8/4/22. Kind of weird thing but could it cause in trouble in my clearance process ??

What are you procrastinating on, pushing off and are scrolling on 🐠bowl instead.

Has anyone experienced sexual assault without reporting and come out in the other side? Had a horrific experience with a partner at my last employer and didn’t handle it in the best way - and tbh think it’s impacting my daily life more than I care to admit.

When people ask me how are you or how was your week, my mind goes blank. All I can say is “good, and you?”

My friend recently had a big fight with her boyfriend and it's not solved yet - she's worried. I just got engaged on Friday. Should I tell her now or is it bad timing? I don't post anything on social media or told anyone except family yet, so she won't find out from others.

So my wife and I both said we wanted kids (before we got married) then a couple years into marriage we both said we changed our minds and do not want them. Now, she’s thinking she may want them, she’s changed back. I have NOT, I still firmly think I do not want them. But what do we do now?

Currently investigating a manager for a company that suspects he’s leaving for a competitor. Looks like he plans to wait to give two weeks notice until after he’s already accepted that position and try to scam both. We got IRS involved and and they’re monitoring his FB account. Should be fun
