Really wish Desi parents could be there emotionally. It’s draining to always have to keep everything bottled up.

Am I crazy? I work in a secondary "College Prep School" and I am being told that asking kids to READ, is asking too much of them, and I am not talking full length novels in a week or two..

A guy who is claiming to be in love with me (a black woman and immigrant), is a conservative (pro-trump, anti-gun laws, denies that there is racism etc). Are those red flags to make me cut him off?

How would you handle a situation where the person you've supported for 6 years is retiring and wants you to still support them with personal requests but you want nothing to do with them? ...cont

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

I am 34 and my average bed time at night is 8:30 to 9 - on weekdays. My wife says m boring.

Am I?

How involved is your family in your small business? My nieces are looking for a job to work after school, and I could think of more than a few things they could do that I would pay them for just to take some off my plate. Is this ok? Or is it safer to keep family and business separate?

Feeling so down. I have friends but a next to nothing social life, I’m sitting at home on a Friday night doing nothing for maybe the 7th week in a row. All my friends are in relationships so they’re content with staying in and watching movies or playing board games but I hate that but don’t want to go out alone. I work so hard all week hoping to have a fun weekend and blow off steam but I always end up alone

Hi All,

Wanted to know from married folks
What's your frequency of having saxx during initial stage of marriage.

Thanks

I'm a product engineer and it's hard to turn off work mode at the end of the day, I think of how products *should* be packaged when I'm shopping and can't understand why my wife doesn't care 🤷

Looking for recommendations for a wine bar to have a serious conversation with SO. Preferably somewhere where we would not be seated very close to other people. Thank you!

Salam, I was in a 3Y relationship, it’s been few months, I live alone. Don’t have tons of friend so I find myself lonely after work. I burst in tears randomly multiple times a week and I cry out loud. I also have constant dreams of her most of the time normal dreams. I feel like I have little life left since I’m 39, I don’t have any direction in life. I try to pray 5 times and started to recite Quran. Any advice for me pls? I don’t have peace in my heart and I feel very empty inside.

To push off or not? TTC for 3 years, 1 year with RET. Just had a failed IVF transfer and my mental health and spouses mental health are in tough spot. His parents are “temporarily” living with us and MIL has severe Alzheimer’s. All of this is straining our marriage badly. I’m torn between pushing through another round of IVF given it’s been SO long - or whether there’s just way too much going on and we need to get our house in order. Is there a right time for IVF?

I love watching my 3-year-old's engineering hacks... he wanted to pet the cat so he built a fort out of pillows and waited, now the cat's purring on his lap and they're both asleep

I teach children with severe and profound disabilities so online learning is not an option, but I video call the parents so the kids can see me because I know it’s very difficult for the parents

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?

Many of the teachers I work with have great relationships with their co-teacher, but one team is really struggling. What can I do to help them get along?

So about that thing with the guy and the agency and the breakup. Sus af.

Hi Fishes, I need 11 ❤️ 's to start dm's , please help ! 🙂

Hubby and I said we’d start trying so I’ve gone through all the basic changes - prenatal, no alc, less coffee, cycle tracking, pheromone check, etc. But....

I'm waiting on a verdict for a civil jury trial (first one) and I want to go snowboarding tomorrow. They deliberated from 9-5 today with no verdict. Is it super frowned upon if I zoom in (it was a zoom trial) in a car or on the mountain or a lodge or something? Probably a dumb question but idk if receiving verdicts is a much more relaxed etiquette.

Is anyone interviewing for new jobs for the sole purpose of leveraging a pay increase with their current employer? Or have you taken on a second job because your main career is now working remotely from home? I currently work in restaurant design/build and equipment sales. The idea is to hustle now to make passive income later

All of us want the same thing! Money- Flex Timing- Great Culture- Respect - Value in what we are doing!
We, the employees make a organization. If all of us want the same thing, how come the culture of that organization still remains the same! Why can’t we be the pioneer? Thoughts…

Where are the best places to look for a technical cofounder when you have investment? So I am willing to give both a salary and equity to this person.

Hi everyone,

I am currently working as a data analyst at in digital marketing. I want to transition to data science. I don’t come from a CS background, but I can code. I’ve done stats in my MBA, and I am not seeing any scope to widen my skill sets in my current role,outside of Excel and Google Sheets.

On the other hand, it’s getting tougher to make a change as my experience doesn’t feel relevant. How do I get out of this rut?

Recently relocated to USA. Looking for a job in Private equity Accounting in California as Fund Accountant Manager. Any leads and also, how much salary should I expect?

Line 11/12 - What it needs to be, it is not my value and and position. I am like Joseph, the one who as bought by the first bidder for practically free. In Biblical stories, Joseph was initially sold as a slave, but is destined to be a prophet in later life. The poet says my value and position and rank is not reflected in my current situation.

Here, I am holding on to some money for my parents in a savings account in India. They don’t exactly have the best relationship with money so I am doing this so that they don’t burn through everything in a month. Do I have to worry about taxes for this money? It’s their retirement savings.

Whats investments do desis on H1 do? Bought real estate in India, invested in stocks in US, bought home in US. Planning on buying more real estate (land or house?) in US, but is there anything more we can invest in?

Things desis need to stop doing or must be prompted to not do: Commenting on appearances.. “Beta, you’re looking so dull..”
Thanks, I just got out of bed to answer a call early Sunday because you don’t use your smartphone to check the times!
