My best friend's sister is pregnant with her first child (a baby boy)! Can anyone share gift recommendations- perhaps reasonably ( max $80) priced items new mothers would find helpful to use daily or often?

This is out of pure curiosity and no judgment at all! But I’m curious, if you knew you could afford it, how many of you would choose to be a stay at home mom? (Afford it meaning you would have to make financial sacrifices, but not necessarily worry about making ends meet). Give a “helpful” reaction for no, I’d rather work. Give a “smart” reaction for I’d rather be a SAHM

To the Creative Directors approaching their 40s that are single with no kids and work 60-70hr weeks. You have all the awards and work at awesome places but is it worth it?

Just so tired today. High demanding job. A sweet child with special needs who once again failed his SOLs. House that needs remodeling. All around me are people with perfect kids in gifted programs

Hi! Mom/preg fish— quick question for you 1. What kind of BC were you on (if any) and for how long? 2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after stopping? 3. Did you take fertility tests or seek fertility treatment at any point and if so when? I went off Nuva ring 7mo ago and husband and I have tried every month except one (so 5 cycles after the last fake period)… getting a little worried and thinking about fertility testing…

Has anyone taken extended leave (1-3 mo) for personal reasons (other than parental leave) at EY? Is this even an option?

My baby is 9 weeks and my supply has dropped by about an oz. Also one breast only makes 1 oz now instead of the usual 2 (always lagged behind other breast). I had my first period, started progestin...

FTM of a 10 mo. At what age do you start having baby sitters for date nights and such. No family or friends can help. I am paranoid that my baby will just cry out of strangeness the whole time.

Do any women have experience working with an elderly care attorney or dealing with LTC for parents? I’m 25 and don’t have any friends dealing with this to seek advice. My widowed, health-challenged mother (late 60s) needs more care. Compounding this issue is the fact that she wouldn’t qualify for LTC insurance and while she has some savings (think mid-six figures), it’s certainly not enough for potentially 20 years of care (don’t want her to be broke/with destitute care). Where do I even start?

I need a laser hair removal touch up but I’m also looking to get pregnant soon. I heard pregnancy can cause a lot of hair (re)growth. Is it better to wait until afterwards? Are there a lot of hairy mamas out there?

Are we going to be called the Baby Zoomer generation?

Best baby bath and skincare products. There are so many out there, pipette, mustela, aquaphor, aveeno, Noodle & boo. Which are your favs and why?

Anyone who suffers from irregular periods have an easy time getting pregnant? My boyfriend and I have stopped being careful and I’m wondering if in the next couple of months I’ll be growing an alien.

I complained to my building management that a kid was screaming very loudly while playing in the courtyard of my building making it difficult for me to work. The mom posted a snarky and sarcastic response in our building Facebook group. Am I being unreasonable? He should definitely play and enjoy but lower his volume when doing so, especially since we're in a community.

I am sure that I am not alone - Both Husband and wife working, Got a young child, who can not go to Childcare. Your boss expects you to deliver things, and team need you at work, at home your wife need your support si that she can attend meetings and get those task done... As a parent how are you feeling mentally and emotionally ??? Are you Frustrated or Angry with government messaging and managing expectations. How are you feeling overall ? Would be interesting to know how you feel.

Last night I was looking through pictures on my phone. I was such a happy kid and young adult and even after joining the firm I’m at I was happy for 2ish years…..the past 4 have been awful and depressing though. Man I wish I could go back to that time and do things over.

Not sure where to ask.. I am married for 3 years. I have ofcourse had sex prior to my husband with my exes and I enjoy being very active. On the other hand my husband never had prior experience and my marriage was an arranged marriage.. so never really got a chance to explore this part although I was and still I am physically attracted to him. But sex has always been very boring between us. And I am not even enjoying a bit while trying for kid now. I am thinking if there is a way contd

7.5 mo pregnant, partner scheduled call with HR on Friday at 5pm... can they legally fire you while pregnant?!

Ladies, I know Deloitte has 16 week parental leave. What’s the policy for your company ( BCG, Bain, McKinsey, PWC, Etc)? Thanks.

Women who are child free by choice - how do you not immediately zone out when everyone starts talking about their kids? I feel like that chatter is part of networking but (continued)

Maybe we should implement something like automatic posts refresh? I got a notification about "someone like mypost" but it isn't displaying at the post title...

I am always amazed at the number of associates who have multiple offers and pick a firm with the worst Partner Retirment plan but do not realize it until they have invested 10 years there.

If you had 1 month PTO but couldn't travel, what would you do at home?

Everyone I know is testing positive right now. This is scary

Just got promoted to SA but got an offer for SC at Deloitte digital. Have a little less than 3 YOE and looking at a 25% pay bump. Is this a good move?

The wildest thing anybody expensed was?

Exactly 48 hours of pure bliss until I open my laptop again!🍺 Happy Friday !!

Would you advise against requesting a comp conversation with a PPD if you don't have a specific ask to make? Mainly want to have more of a dialogue around career direction, etc

How to compensate for long term unemployment? After getting let go from McK earlier this year, I've been unemployed for close to 6 months and explaining it to prospective employers is awkward and uncomfortable. Any advice on how to navigate this?

Which pretentious cunt came up with the word bragging rights?

Feeling underpaid at 83k as Senior 1. Too early to jump to another big 4/ acn? Will I lose a year in the promotion track to manager?

What was your biggest moment of disillusionment in life, and what prompted it?

Do I tell my manager I’m leaving the company before their 5 day birthday PTO or after? If I tell, it would be the day before their last day. If I hold on to it will be 2 weeks before my last day. I want to help interview for replacement if they want me to. Also wrapping up my project and Demi going into surge support work, which I expect to do while they’re OOO.
