Any book recommendations for parenting an extremely stubborn child? My 4.5 yo middle is giving us such a hard time lately. It varies what sets him off, but one example is: I ask him and big sis to get pajamas on before movie night. Often they come out ready 2 min later but sometimes randomly he’ll say he can’t do it, demand my help, and (when I gently insist he needs to try first) will get so upset that it essentially ruins his evening. he’s otherwise kind, thoughtful, smart, and loving.

Is anyone else paralyzed with fear over long Covid? I’m young and healthy and vaccinated, and I know I can’t stay home forever (in fact we had resumed normal life until the omicron surge, and now we stay home a bit more), but every time I see something about long Covid I just get paralyzed with fear and never want to leave my house again.

Who here is in their early 40s? We have gone through so much to get here. Multiple failed attempts and miscarriages. Finally I'm pregnant and with twins. I'm so happy but I'm also scared and freaking out a little.

Did anyone exclusively bottle feed with formula from birth? I’m made to feel like an amoral freak for considering it. I am fully aware BF is best cos of antibodies and bonding etc but I have a previous issue and need to consider formula + bottle as an alt. However *every* article I find or attempt to read up on this assumes you’ll only do it to supplement breastfeeding.
Are there *any* formula moms out there whose kid turned out OK?

How do you deal with a led that tells you to recommend an option to the client that you've told him has never been implemented well before on past projects and will create more work for the team?

Feeling that my brain has been on “auto pilot” mode for years. I am Principal in one of the top consulting firms, promoted on fast track basis, so have not been “lazy” and doing good at work. But everything feels the same, nothing gets me intellectually stimulated anymore, and now I feel like if the trend continues, I might lose my ability to adapt and learn new things altogether. Does anybody else feel the same way? (Contd).

Is it possible to lateral to MBB from Big 4? I was an experienced hire with an MBA but had no consulting experience.

Should I reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn or what’s the best approach if there is one?

Looking for feedback from the group about the benefits of using an exercise ball as a chair vs transitioning to a standing desk. Costs are an obvious factor in favor of an exercise ball but curious if anyone has seen any health benefits using either. Thanks

Have an offer in industry. It’s a relatively new company that is growing fast and lots of opportunity to move up quickly and make a difference. Salary increase wouldn’t be large but enough to make a difference. My heart wants to do it but there is risk involved - not as much stability as the Big 4 company I work for and I’m supporting a family. What do I do? Follow my passion or stay in the safe zone given things are still up in the air with Covid? I appreciate your opinion fishes!
