None. This concept has always seemed super weird to me

I was thinking a necklace or ring with the birthstone but my friend just asked her husband for a new car so just didn’t know what other folks thought was typical :)

Even though it’s obviously way more money, a new car could be because what they have now isn’t baby appropriate. At first read I thought it was extravagant but it could be a practical ask.

I love jewelry because you’ll always think of your child when wearing it / it’s a lovely piece to pass down to them. My friend recently got a stunning 7-stone diamond band with her baby’s name engraved inside. So special!

Is she your partner or your friend?

I’ve always loved the thin diamond band to add to your engagement and wedding bands (if you wear them). But as SC1 said, there is nothing you don’t deserve. good luck with delivery! (Or, congrats on the new baby!)

I’m buying myself a present when this baby gets here.

Something I think is interesting about push presents especially something large like expensive jewelry or especially a new car is - if you have a combined budget big ticket items like this just come out of the pot? I have a hard time feeling like big purchases are ever really “presents” now that I’m married and have combined money - it’s something we agree we can afford and can buy.

I’m not even trying to disparage push presents I just have a hard time conceptualizing getting a car as a gift from my husband in any situation - more like “we decided to buy a new car for me?” Idk interested in people’s thoughts..

Like unless we were so rich someone had 30k lying around in a random ad hoc savings account that wouldn’t be missed in our joint finances it’s just confusing to me.

If the same company is hiring for two very similar but different positions and you qualify for both, do you apply to both? Additional caveat is that I interviewed for one of them last week. No word yet on whether I made it to the next round. Would gladly accept either position, but not sure how it would look if I apply for the second position while still being considered for the first. On the flip side, I don't want to miss the window on the second position while waiting to hear back...thoughts?

Put in my notice partially due to feeling undervalued by the org not my boss who is great. Turns out I was going to be promoted at the end of the month they just hadn’t announced it yet.

Backing out of the offer I accepted would definitely burn a bridge. Honestly not sure what I want to do. Both companies are F25

From 22-27 I dated a guy who worked all the time with the hope we would get married. Lots of time spent alone since he was never around on trips and so called vacations. Recently, I broke up with him and just am really feeling like I wasted my twenties. I saw two girls walking down the street yesterday with pink balloons that spelled “23”... what I would give to have not wasted my time with this guy. Has anyone ever gone through this?
