Deloitte offers backup care but we have to wait until we get our negative test results first. Baby girl seems fine but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Work is going to be challenging for the next few days since my husband and I both have demanding jobs.

How long is too long before meeting an SO’s parents? We’ve been together a little over 2.5 years and I still haven’t met them. Part of it is because they’re in India and we’re in the US and covid travel bans won’t allow it, but they have suggested FaceTime and my SO refuses. I think he wants to make sure it goes well but given our trip was planned December 2020 and won’t happen anytime soon, shouldn’t I at least meet them virtually? Am I reading into it too much?

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

My after Christmas sale shopping is getting concerning. I haven’t put myself in a financial bind, but I’m buying stuff I do not need and I am running out of room to store. I think it’s a little bit of addictive tendencies and a little bit of a coping mechanism. I’m putting this here because I think it’s a mental health related issue.

Any McKinsey&co mums. I’ve been contacted by a recruiter to discuss a position.
