Relatives on dad’s side are super toxic. My dad consistently asks me to visit them and his mom on that side but I haven’t for a year now since the pandemic. I keep making excuses to not attend their family events (where if I do attend I’m just ignored)…what should I do? My dad gets so hurt and angry when I tell him I don’t want to visit. He forces my mom to visit even though theyve been incredibly rude to her

"Dad, I dont want to visit them. I find them unpleasant and rude. Neither they or I get anything out of it, and in fact we're probably both annoyed and worse off if we see each other. Let it drop."

Well said SA1! Time to break this self destructive cycle!

Presumably you’re in consulting. Leverage that advantage claim you’re out of town on projects at all times lol

I'd rather speak my true being forward and own all the consequences that come along with it. Otherwise you're just a slave to someone else's preferences.

Ive been practicing in TX for 2-3 years at a big law firm doing mostly bankruptcy work (and some trial) and looking to clerk at a bankruptcy court in SDNY/DDE/EDVA (I am well aware of how great the SDTX judges are but I am set on leaving Texas). Anyone familiar with how many apps these judges normally get or what makes candidates stand out? Are these judges generally not interested in someone who has practiced in a different market?

Question for the Biglaw Bowl: How common is it to take a pay cut when being promoted from associate to income partner? I had heard about this happening at some lower ranked V100 firms. But now that I’m more senior and my friends are making partner, it sounds like it’s a lot more common than I thought and happens at firms where I wouldn’t expect it. Does anyone here have any insight into this? How common is it, how much of a pay cut, and how long until your pay catches up to associate pay?
