Moms, my 18 month old son gets super upset anytime his dad and I hold hands, hug or kiss each other. At first this was cute but now it’s getting annoying. Anyone else’s kid do this? Any advice please? Thank you

Just acknowledge the feelings while holding the boundary: “I’m sorry you’re upset, holding hands/hugging/kissing is one way dad and I show each other that we love each other.”

Love this. Could also add on some thing like “Do you want to hold my other hand?” or “Would you like a hug too?” as a way to show that expressing love for dad doesn’t take away from the love you have for them.

I kiss both at the same time. One for baby, one for daddy. It's just a possessive phase, but when you give kisses all around, then they feel better. All baby to then give you a kids, and daddy a kiss. Make it a ritual.

She can be so extra, she complains when I don’t immediately respond to her Goodmorning WhatsApp messages, we are in different time zones for crying out loud. Now imagine that for six months!!

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it.

Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

I’m curious to hear from people at other firms what is offered in terms of part time work or alternative work options for people that don’t really care about making partner and might want to work part time.

If your firm offers this, what’s the billable requirement, how much of a pay cut is it, and do you still get benefits? Thanks!

Hi ladies, I am nearly at the point where I want to start having kids. However, I have made a career change somewhat recently (about 1.5 years ago) so I am not really experienced in the tech industry. Would having kids be detrimental at this point in my career (is it always detrimental)? Has anyone had experience of having a big career in Tech and being a mum? Any tips or advice?
Note: I do have a very supportive husband but his work is not very flexible necessarily.

Ladies who use the steamer bags for cleaning pumps… what’s your process? You have to still clean with soap and water beforehand? The bag is so hot you need to use mittens? Trying to figure out the easiest way to clean in office without making a scene. Something about the wipes makes me feel like I’d still need to rinse it. Both of these seem to defeat the purpose of having less steps imo. And how do you dry them? I’m used to just soaking in a soapy tub, scrubbing, then hang drying at home. Sigh.
