NYC moms — any outside the box birthday ideas for a 6yo with a January birthday that aren’t $500+? Our apt isn’t big enough to host, but can’t stomach the $800+ quotes I’m getting for play spaces.

Some museums will do a group tour or some libraries and bookstores will do private story time for under $500. For example, the Morgan Library does/used to do both.

Another idea is asking your local pizza place if they’ll do a make your own pizza party earlier in the day. If your kid is a good eater and good with restaurants, do a smaller party dim sum lunch and order all kinds of things. Do a smaller hibachi dinner. Once my dad had a local sushi place “teach us” how to make sushi, but we were a little older than 6.

Other unconventional tours are fun too. Tour a local firehouse. The Intrepid does cheap group visits. Wave Hill often accommodates smaller tours through their adorable greenhouses.

If a friend has access to a community room in their apartment, you could do DIY decorations and games and skip the hired entertainment. And say “no gifts” so the parents all love you.

Y’all I just need to vent real quick as my husband is gone for the week several time zones away and I’m alone. This late second trimester heartburn is unreal! I’ve never really had heartburn before but holy shit! I find myself pacing and feeling sick to my stomach because of it, unable to focus on anything else, and then I’m drained because all my energy is spent focusing on just this pain. Hoooo 😵 10/10 do not recommend

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
