Everyday. Husband travels a ton and I’m left with 2 kids, a full time job and everything else that has to get done. Sometimes I’m not sure how I’m still sane.

Same here with one toddler. Won’t have a second because I think I won’t be able to handle it

Yes. Constantly. I take a mental health day every few months where I literally sit on the couch alone and watch movies all day.

You’re most definitely not alone. You can only be 100% to so many roles - professional, parent, friend, partner (and the list goes on). We tend to put ourselves last, so try to find that 1 day week/month that is just for YOU. Good luck to us all out there!

You are not the only one. I want a solo vacation

I keep telling myself I’m going to take one day quarterly to do whatever the fuck I want. Sleep in, go shopping, spa, or literally stare at the wall. Trying to hold myself to it.

The other day I wanted to just lay down on the pavement and cry.

BSD1 I find a weekly work from home day, where I am alone in my house with no one to touch me, helps immensely and decreases the need for PTO. Sometimes I can even put on an episode of Law and Order while I do something mundane.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

All the time. You are not alone ❤️

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Recruiter from Amazon reached out for a phone screen for a L7 role st Amazon - Principal Product Manager, Technical. I'm a first year M and have been in consulting mostly. I do have the technical expertise the role requires but no product management experience per se. Think L7 at Amazon for me is a reach. My concern is if I interview and fail, I will be barred from interviewing from another role for 6 to 12 months. Should I give it a shot or save my chance for something more realistic (e.g. L6)?
