Talk to me about discipline. What age did you really start laying down the law? Im patiently waiting out the terrible twos but at some point will need to reign it in if this continues...

Salaam everyone, I (26F) been thinking more about settling down and I’m honestly at loss at the Islamic way to go about it. They say you don’t really know someone anyway unless you marry them so are we supposed to just do istikharah for a stranger and hope for the best? Because everyone is always going to say nice things, we’d always try to impress the other person, how can we even know someone

Does it matters, your designation in a company?

Has anyone in big law been successful in changing offices, either domestically or internationally? How did you approach the subject with your firm? I think I need a change of scenery for my own sanity, but not ready to leave my firm.

God imagine working DEI at Twitter 😂😅

Bored at work anyone want to chat ?

Hey 🐠, what are your recommendations of books, articles, or practice tips to improve communication, both verbal and written?

How do you define a brand?

Recently I had an emergency that required me to leave work around 10am on a Thursday to take my 5 year old son to the ER. I let my manager know he was going to be admitted and I wouldn’t be at work the next day. Friday morning I get a text at 8:05 asking if I’m coming to work. Not, how’s the little one? You guys okay? I never miss work, ever, and this felt like a complete slap in the face. I’ve wanted to quit for a while, but this is the icing on the cake. Should I say something to my manager?

What type of work does McKinsey Digital (and the equivalent capability at BCG and Bain) really do? Is it high-level technology strategy? Or more hands on technical work?

how do you pay for daycare if you live in a high cost city ? daycares around me in nyc charge almost 3k (nyc). that’s apartment rent.

I’m really good at the work I do, but really bad at selling myself and always look like I do less than those who talk better even when I put in more hours. It sucks

Any boutique Regulatory consultants or firms out there? Looking for TMF QC and PV

Hi Parents, need recommendation for taking care of kids hair. My kids are mixed race and their hair gets easily tangled to the point where we spend an hour to untangle the mess. Hair is also dry and the conditioner and or oil doesn’t seem to help. What are some of your go to products and routine? TIA

About to be a new dad. Starting to look into childcare but feeling a little overwhelmed. Would love to hear thoughts/opinions on what to look for besides convenience.

Thank y’all for starting this bowl! Newly expecting mama here 🤰🏾I’ll be 11 weeks tomorrow! My husband and I are praying that I give birth to healthy 🤴🏾 or 👸🏾. I look forward to learning from this group!

Am I tripping? Everyone loves calling my daughter (2 months) "lil chocolate drop" or "look at all that chocolate". I love my daughter's complexion, not only because it's mine, but because it's beautiful. However, I can't help but feeling like ppl "other" or make it weird by avoiding saying dark. Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.

New Dad here. 8 weeks in and I don’t feel the imagined bell and whistles of fatherhood. Is this normal?

Thanks all for this group. 1st time expecting dad 🧔🏾.

I’m a little bit all-over the place and not sure where to start financial planning from.

I live in a Tier-1 city and think it’s necessarily to move to Tier-3. It’s important that my kids grow up in a house vs. apartment. Also need to stretch my dollar as far as possible.

Total comp - $180K

How much should I budget for the 1st year of baby?

Seeing local parents reacting to the public school lottery results in DC, got me super nervous about when it’s my kids turn.

I hate the idea of having so little control.

Anyone have kids that struggle with night terrors?

My daughter had one for the first time last night and it scared the crap out of me. It was like she didn’t know who I was.

Any of the sisters deal with gestational diabetes but already had a restrictive diet pre and during pregnancy?
Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy. So not surprised I couldn’t process their drink-I don’t consume stuff like that regularly. I walk a mile or do HIIT training 5x/ week. The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)

Potential unintended consequences of my parenting decisions is the most stressful thing ever.

The “right” approach can feel so clear one moment, then feel like a huge mistake the next.

Where can I get good and affordable baby clothes 0-3 months?

Do any parents have a Lovevery discount code? Also, are there other similar services I should look it? Our LO is due in 3 weeks. So, I want to get him off to a good start.

Thinking of getting a Black Baby Alive doll for my daughter. Preferably one that talks and moves, but there seems to be so many. Any suggestions?

How much per week/month do you spend on daycare?

Father of two princesses. 2 years and 4 months.

My 5 year old son demanded a haircut because he doesnt like his curly hair. Its too curly. He wants hair thats like Fletcher's. (Fletcher is his white friend from day care). My son and his sister are the only blacks at the day care. I dont know how to broach the subject with him.

I am a city boy but good god why are schools in the city not good. I’m personally against private school and am a product of nyc public schools and I came out fine but idk g
