Sometimes I forget that we never really grow up. Was chatting with my husband about childhood memories and I spiraled into tales of my mother’s negligence. I suddenly realized I was angry and flush and near tears. Still the sad, lonely little girl.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

Firm’s HR has approached me about taking part in OCI (not sure where or when yet). I’m a few years in - what do students these days would like to learn about firms? Diversity policies?

Mamas how did you sleep train your baby? What method or non method techniques did you use?

Looking for a book recommendation on “so you think you’re ready to start preparing to have a baby, here’s what you need to know”. My husband and I are feeling ready to talk about it and I want to read some books with him on what to expect financially, physically, practically, emotionally, so on. Obviously no one has all the answers, but there has to be a way to better prepare for this massive step. (*notes in first comment). Thanks in advance!

I’m pregnant with 2 kid and so excited. It’s been a long journey. I’m allowed to take 5 months off paid, but should I take that much time? How much time did you take post delivery?

With the PUMP Act not passing - can I ask how friendly your workplace is when it comes to nursing/pumping? I’m an immigrant - came from a country with a year of parental leave, flexible working options (eg 4 day weeks with full salary), open feeding, crèches at work and seperate quiet rooms for moms. Thanks!

When did queer become ok to say & why? I played “Smear the Queer" as a kid/had no idea what it meant; now I find it as offensive as the N-word. Why “take back” a word instead of just not using it?

As someone else pointed out, this seems like an everything bowl. So... what SUV should I buy? Planning to lease, don’t want to pay luxury brand price, don’t need a massive MDX but also don’t think a little CRV is going to cut it. Have a baby so safety is important.

I'm currently in my notice period with 30 days left and I observe that the HR calls have reduced quite a bit. Last month I used to get about 4-6 calls a week, but now it's hardly once a week. Is this due to Indian market boom dying down or due to hiring cycles or perhaps some other reason?
