My 3 year old really hates book jackets. Like he won’t even let me read the book if the jacket is still on. Won’t give me a reason. Anyone else?

Yep. So weird.

Haha I bought a collection of Peter Rabbit with some very neat jackets. The first thing my 4 YO did was to remove all the 23 of them before reading a word.

Mine is the same, but I think developed a bit of a complex as she gets very sad when she breaks anything and she would accidentally tear the book jackets all the time so I think she just decided herself that best way to solve the problem is not have the jacket to start with

Hi everyone I am relocating to Hyderabad next month. Even though I look forward to meeting new people I can’t seem to ignore the fact that I will move away from family.

I am financially independent but I feel guilty for not being there for them. Is there any possibility of getting transferred to Gurgaon office(a lot closer to my home)if I talk to my manager?
