Scored my first gig in advertising as an intern at BBH NY like 10 years ago. Part of the application asked for an original poem and I happened to be watching 16 and Pregnant on MTV. The preggo teenager was cursing out her partner so I wrote down the lines in all caps and got a call the next day.

What is a useful, comprehensive but not too long of a book for parenting toddlers?

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!

As a hiring manager (for interns), would you find it weird if your incoming intern asked specific questions about dress code?

I (36F) am married to another woman (34F) and we have a baby (5moF). We split all childcare, cleaning, meal prep, errands etc fairly evenly and it works well.
