My daughters father lives out of state (he’s Florida) & he’s asking to come visit her (in NYC). My reaction was not well received bc it seems way too soon for travel. Am I nuts?

I have family there. It’s like most of them are on another planet based on what news source they use. The risk isn’t as clear to those not in NYC or some of the urban areas hit hardest. Not an excuse, but sometimes the context helps. He may not be a shitty dad, just less informed.

I hear you. My sister-in-law keeps asking us if we (along with my brother in law and his family) want to do a family get together in the coming month/s. Would require travel for all. Her family is not social distancing. Like WHAT? Hard pass. So irresponsible.

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

Any dads out here? Wife is 20 weeks pregnant with our first and want to connect and know from fellow dads on how are they coping. How are you helping your partner? Feel I am not doing enough. Except for getting ready with the finances.

Pregnant moms, feel free to provide suggestions on what your partner is doing which you really appreciate. I got the foot massage part covered. 😉

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
