PWC got me thinking about my stupid ex after last nights age gap post 😭😭😭

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

Hi everyone, first timer here. Having some issues w. our 4 yo being pushed around and bullied at preschool. He’s really sad and upset. He’s also super shy & introvert. Any advise? Pep talk? Discuss with teacher?

Anybody single in their late 30s / early 40s given up on marriage? How do you see your life progressing? What do you do day-to-day to cope with loneliness?

Working from home in customer support provides so much flexibility as a stay at home mom. I can take care of the home, my babies and work without feeling guilty ….talk about mutli-tasking!

I'm going from working at a non IT industry to an IT firm. As an introvert I've faced a lot of difficulty in my career... Now since I'm also shifting to another industry completely, I'm feeling very insecure about my life at work. Please give me tips on how to make friends and be in the good books of the managers.

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

M26, I'm scared of a relationship. I've never been in one before and mostly had FWBs and just really good friends but never made the leap. Part of me is torn cause I think I'm still too young, ambitious and enjoy my independence but I'm reaching a point of getting tired of the same old same of opening up to new random people and making new fwbs I'm emotionally and physically invested in. So for someone who is nervous about taking a leap on this what are some things I should seriously consider?

What are some myths you all have heard to figure out if you’re having a boy or girl?

If you and your girlfriend went to law school together, were you together the night the bar results came back? What if one of you doesn’t pass / and the other feels like they can’t celebrate?

My s/o and I were in a very long relationship that just ended. We have so much financial ties that I feel we need a separation agreement to resolve these issues. Has anyone heard of a non married separation agreement?

What games, toys, or science kits would you recommend for a kid who’s showing an interest in the sciences?

Most South Asian names seem to be anglicized in the US. Since it seems inevitable, any new parents have experience with getting ahead of the curve & going with an anglicized version in birth cert?

This bowl has been quiet and I see partners commenting on odd posts around fishbowl so I figure you need more fodder: partners, did any of you have parents that travelled as much as you do?

How do you know if you have outgrown someone? Known my boyfriend for 2 years but have dated seriously only for 6 months. Confused as why i’m feeling this way.

What role/s do your friends have that you're most envious of? Starting to do research on my next move, and would like to know what others have top of mind....

Anyone in the suburbs find it harder to make friends compared to the city? I don’t want to move back but I don’t know what else to do..

Anyone here adopt a puppy during the infertility struggle? Husband and I considering it to have something positive throughout this situation and thinking the extra companionship would be helpful. I work from home. Husband has had many family dogs and lots of experience with it, I’ve had a family cat before. But not sure if it’s actually a good idea - wondering if it would truly help make us feel better and keep our minds off of the struggles or if it would just add extra stress. Thoughts?

I am getting ready to send my 2 year old toddler to a toddler program next week for the first time. Have to fill out a form “bathroom waiver”, which is basically allowing teachers at the school to clean my child after a potty, including genital area. I feel uneasy about this but I know I have to let them… I assume all parents have signed such waiver?

Hi! Excited we have a space finally :)

Ex consultant, currently in industry. BCG HR contacted me for a role, process was a lil messy and unprofessional. Still waiting for the “exploratory chat” she was supposed to set up with the MDP since 2 weeks ago. Texted on whatsapp but no response. Normal?

If you and your girlfriend went to law school together, were you together the night the bar results came back? What if one of you doesn’t pass / and the other feels like they can’t celebrate?

Looking for female flatmate in Bangalore. Any female looking for flat please DM me. Its 2BHK and currently a room is vacant

My boss assigns projects with unclear expectations and provides no guidance on how to achieve them.

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".

How do you approach projects when your boss plays the "guess what's in my head" game?

Any office dirt?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

This one was harder.

What happened to all my badges?

Well, I threw out my back trying to roll off my foam roller. Welcome to the ripe old age of 39. I’ll be on the floor if anyone needs me.

I always thought mid life crisis was when you get to mid life and realize you are never going to be all you thought you would be.

I turned out better than I imagined on all dimensions, and I’ve discovered a different kind of midlife crisis. The “ok, so now what?” Crisis.

Tell me someone else has this, and what do you do about it?

I could be watching the man burn right now but I was too jaded to get up there this year.

Everytime I see this bowl name. I read it as wife confessions and keep getting scared.

Has anyone noticed a weird change in the original confession bowl lately? A lot of new people posting some really ✨interesting✨ takes and just being kind of creepy?

What’s the right age difference? My friends set me up on a date with a girl who is 12 years younger to me. I was feeling so uncomfortable all through my dinner with her.

Hi! Hows the new wk going??? Anything exciting?

I just discovered that scheduling a call for 7 am the morning after a boozy team event is the best way to get easy agreement and consensus. No debating for the sake of debating when everyone is sleepy! 😂
