My parents (~60) are coming to town next week (and weekend) what can I do with them while keeping myself sane?

I accidentally overshared information about having anxiety and trouble focusing with someone who is kind of important at the company and now I regret it. She never responded and probably forgot about it but my husband told me that I shouldn’t have done that and I shouldn’t share things like that with people at work unless you are really close with them and now I’m freaking out and crying because I’m scared she will remember that and tell my boss or other higher up people.

I'm an engineer and I love building things but based on what I've seen about Gen Z, I think I'm going to raise my kids in a less modern style. No TV, no internet, at least until a certain age.

The co-worker I was closest to left the firm this week, and I’m having a hard time staying motivated. It’s so hard when your friends leave :(

I can sacrifice an entire weekend cleaning my house so that wife's friend can spend the week. When I ask for a couple hours to help get the house clean so a house cleaner can effectively clean I'm told that's my prerogative and get no help. Well fuck me for being tired of living in a messy house.

My wife and I are both terrible housekeepers and our clutter is overwhelming us. We have two kids under 3 and a wonderful nanny but we need more help at home. How do we throw money at this problem? Where do we start to get ongoing professional help decluttering, organizing, cleaning, etc.? What has worked for you?

How do you know if you have good hygiene? my ex told me I don’t

This is my routine:
- I have curly hair, can only wash it once a week/put dry shampoo if needed
- I brush my teeth 2 times a day
- Wear deodorant / perfume every day (my way, and good girl) and shave off any hair (I did laser but still), as much as possible. Some days, I cannot keep up with shaving (especially if it won’t show)
- I wear pantyliners and change it once a day/ change panties once a day
- I shower my body every day

I knowingly got married to a person with some psychological problem. my initial assumption was that she’d get better after leaving her parent’s toxic home. However she turned worst. She’d frequently/randomly become abusive and violent. She refused seeing doc.
I’m thinking of divorcing her, but I also know that if I leave her she’d end up in worse situation(her mother is terminally ill and father is also old with no other relative). Ps. I am Indian so no live in before marriage.What I can do?

I wonder how many couples actually stay together just because they can't afford to pay rent on their own.

Do you ever feel like you’re just never going to experience real love or be that ‘special someone’ for somebody? I sometimes feel like I am defective in some way, because despite being in my early 30s, I have never felt particularly special to any guy I have been with- it’s always felt like I am the space filler until they meet the right person

What usually warrants a married couple to start living separately and coparent their child? No job or financial constraints just that the wife moved from the house with their child to an apartment nearby.

Am I right to feel like my partner doesn’t love me after 4 years of dating when they say they don’t want to marry me if I don’t win the H1-B lottery next year? They say they’re not ready to “settle” but they still love me and I’m feeling disappointed and not sure what to make of this

Hey! I just graduated college. I want to start investing, but wondering the best way to allocate my $85k salary, pay off my $27k student debt, save some money to live on my own (NYC), and build a strong investment portfolio.

My monthly paychecks will be around $5k. I want to allocate $2k a month to student loan debt for a year until paid off. My family will put 500 a month towards loans. How should I best allocate the remainder?

I recently graduated college last year and am trying to pursue certifications to help build up my resume. I currently hold an AWS SAA certification and Azure AZ -900.

Brand Strategy/Planning roles aren't typical in PR. So every new Account hire arrives with no experience working with a Strategist. I'm tired of explaining/showing my role adds necessary value. I love strategy, but I have an offer at another agency to move into Account as Group SVP. They want to "customize" the role for my experience, but I'm afraid it will just be on paper and people will expect me to know things I just won't. I can't afford to be fired. Thoughts? Considerations? Watch-outs?

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits.

Anyone else remember when Uber (or Lyft) were faster, cheaper, cleaner, and better vehicles than cabs?

Now, in the time it takes to walk from C gates to cab line the app still can't figure out I'm back at ORD, an UberX is over $70, or a black over $100.

It will take 15 min to get a car (8 min according to the app) and it will be a dirty Toyota Corolla

Meanwhile there is no one in the cab line and in a crossover with much more space for $50
