Mother’s Day. I live near MIL and we have her only grandchildren (1 and 3 yo). She actually has a lot of distance and boundaries with us but we get together when we can and she helps in her own ways. If we don’t do Mother’s Day together and instead send flowers and a card is that ok? Her daughter also lives nearby and they could do something together instead but im sure it would be nice for everyone else if we hosted them and a nice family thing all together.

Anyone else dread baby showers? I don’t want to go to my friends baby shower just because of the social aspect of it. Dreading the side conversations that I may have.

Offtopic: Which is the best health insurance (company) to buy for parents? Please suggest as per prior firsthand experience in claims, settlement, premium etc.

I'm 4 years into my career, currently I work at one of the largest public advisory firms writing research and taking advisory calls with CIOs/CFOs on strategy around IT Cost Optimization, IT/technology finance, benchmarking, budgeting etc. I enjoy the role but fear not being able to do much with this experience. I fear this due to the fact that I simply talk strategy and roadmaps with no technical experience of having ever done these activities myself.
