My close friend is visiting my apartment and I do not have a guest bedroom; I only have an air mattress that I would situate in the living room (no couch since I just moved in). Ideally we would both sleep on the bed but I have a twin. If I give her the air mattress to sleep on am I being inhospitable? Or should I let her sleep in my bed so she can have her own space (for context I have 1 roommate who is my sister ) and I sleep on the air mattress in the living room?

Starting to look for a part time nanny now we’re going back to office (3 days a week). Total newbs here and just starting the process. One potential nanny asked for PTO and vacation days (and being paid if we don’t need her one of the agreed upon days). This makes sense, but is this typical? I’m in LA.

Any sober/ non-drinkers here? I’ve struggled to find new groups of friends since i quit drinking. Any advice on groups, etc would be appreciated!

I cannot tell the difference between love bombing and genuine love and care.

My life would be so much easier if my mother-in-law would leave me the F alone during the work week. Sometimes I delete her emails and tell her I never got them...

I wish people would think clearly and hard about having children beforehand. Working as a school counselor and a youth therapist, so much trauma starts early simply because parents don't know any better or do what they were taught. It's tough when it isn't abuse or neglect, but it's still having a negative impact on the child's life. Should I recommend family therapy? Is it overstepping to recommend the parent go to private therapy as well?

My family/friends ask me for store discounts all the time. It's really uncomfortable to say no, but I have to. Any tips on how to handle these conversations?

We just met a wonderful kitten while camping in East Idaho. We’re flying back to Bay Area tonight and thinking if we should leave him here or drop him off at a local shelter or take him with us and find him home in the Bay. What should we do?

Are there any well-off suburbs around Chicago where there's a significant amount of black or mixed race people? Significant meaning 40-50%+. I've seen a lot of nice black suburbs in southern and eastern cities but less in the midwest. In an interracial relationship and want to get an idea if there are any suburbs where our kids would feel represented or if we'll need to move down south for that.

Has anyone successfully found a significant other through an app? Wondering if these actually work, your experience with them, etc.

My little brother is in law school and unsure whether to pursue a big law career. He’s ambitious, but wants a meaningful job that is not 24/7.

We have been blessed by financial support from family: By no means super rich, but he will leave LS with "only" 40k in loans, and owns a debt free apartment that pays his 1.5k mnthly mortgage.

He therefore doesn’t feel he "needs" big law money.

I’m in big law bc I’m a degenerate workoholic, while he has a life. Find it difficult to offer him advice.

Hold the door

My wife often calls me by 5:45/6 to ask where I am if I’m not headed home yet. Sometimes she’s stressed with kids/dogs/dinner and really wants me home. This really throws off my concentration because it makes me feel rushed. Like many practices sometimes I’m out at 5:30, other times it’s much later. Just depends and is unpredictable. Any advice on how to approach this?

Hey fishes, would be joining PwC AC DDVIT team in some time. I have some questions:

ADHD advice. I have always thought a million miles a min on random things, but I managed to get through the schooling and tests to become a lawyer without any meds.
