Question for parents. How does the school system work in NYC? Do most people pay for preschool, then are there decent public K-elementary schools? Is it sorted by neighborhood or does your kid test into them?

I’m a graduate soon to be starting new corporate job. What’s the expectation of hours spent in office now? This is my first job so I’m not sure if they will require me on site 5 days a week or adopt a hybrid strategy.

Have any mommas that are expecting here requested pregnancy accommodation? I’m worried the stress on my current project is affecting my baby. What about taking short term disability for pregnancy related health issues like extreme nausea?

Parenting help - how much to press your kid at getting better at sports? Hubs and I didn’t play anything growing up. Our kids (4 and 7) play soccer; they are pretty slow at running. We realize that no one has ever shown them any good running form, but they resist making any effort at home. Not going for any big sports achievement but I would like them to be able to play something on a school team thru high school. Should we let this be? I’m worried they’ll just quit once they fall too far behind

What’s the best part of being a parent?

Newly pregnant and hate my current job. Would it be crazy to go freelance? Feeling a time crunch to have my career figured out before a baby gets here but sadly don’t think it’s in the cards for me.

Get my insurance through my husbands job. Have a decent amount of savings.

Pregnant ladies or ladies with kids,
If you were still working when pregnant, did you manage to keep your workday up to truly 8+ hours and keep your utilization intact? Or,
if you weren’t feeling well and stepped away, did you factor that into your timesheet?

Funny experience - I was in the line at a craft store and started chatting with the people around me. Person in front of me was annoyed about having to craft valentines for her kid's class. Person behind me was getting a late start on his kid's science project. They asked me what I was in for.

Me: oh I don't have kids, so I'm picking up a new hobby (watercoloring).

Them: oh. You must have a lot of free time and money huh.

Me: yeah it's pretty great 😃👍

I was tested for AMH and my level is 0.8, which is low for my age (33yo). I am not planning to have kids for the next few years. My doctor urges me to freeze the eggs saying its unlikely I will get pregnant naturally if I wait few years. If have to travel to another country to do it, because where I live it's not done for "social" reasons and since I'm not diagnosed with a medical condition I can't do it here. What is your opinion on this? Do you think my doctor is correct? Continued below

Hi ladies!

I’m curious to know what methods of birth control you have used and how it has worked out for you. All the potential physical and mental side effects sound frightening and make me feel like if I start taking it, I wouldn’t be myself.

Feeling so annoyed at work and basically hating my job. Every inconvenience makes me annoyed, does this happen or normal. I am pregnant, very early from a frozen embryo transfer. I have been taking estrogen & progesterone. I wish I didn’t have to work!

Do other mamas out there do the bedtime routine solely without husband? Our LO is 3 months & have been exclusively putting him down every night but I don’t always nurse before he goes to bed depending on his last feeding. Do you all have bedtime routines with just you & baby? I secretly love doing it just us but feel that I might be leaving the hubs out.

Restaurant recommendations in nyc that are kid friendly? Bonus if it’s in midtown east but we’ll go anywhere. Really, we just need it to be big enough to be able to fit a stroller by the table.

My little one has reflux pretty bad - she spits up/projectile vomits after most feedings. I have been dairy free for 7 weeks after they said she might have a milk protein allergy.

Our pediatrician isn’t concerned about her weight, but she said that baby could start solid foods a week before she turns 4 months in an effort to “thicken” her food and have it sit in her stomach better. I saw this was against guidance from AAP and WHO, which says wait until 6 months to start solids. Any advice?

Diagnosed with ADHD as a child and stopped medication at 18. I’m 31 and I realize I need it again. Is it easy to get medication again if I bring my medical records to a physician?

So I feel I must do a shoutout to this bowl.. I had my first child when I was 17 worked my ass off and finished my masters. I ended up at Accenture in an internal role when I was invited to fb. I joined this group and exit ops. Never in my life had I had imagined the amount of money people could make! When I saw these salaries I quickly realized how underpaid I was. Through a series of detours and chance I’m leaving for a tc of 250. I realize to many people on this app is not a lot but to me it

Thoughts on Looker vs Alteryx? Which one is more powerful? Pros and cons? And generally which one have you seen being used in Tech and related industries?

Does it ever make you nervous to aggressively expense late night meals under your firm's policy (if you're meeting the requirements)? Not sure if I'm being overly paranoid. It just feels risky, given that my firm is cutting spending elsewhere.

Any recommendations for vintage/thrift shops in Greater Boston (that are not overpriced)?

Any moms/families travel much (or just locally) when having an infant/toddler? It would be nice to go on a few trips here and there out of state but don’t know if it’s better to wait and then start traveling once they are old enough to perhaps remember family trips. Would love any input.

Feeling so demotivated at work not knowing if I'm at risk or not, tell me I'm not alone 😢
