Trying to update my will and realizing I don’t have any good options for the care of my children. My and my wife’s siblings are not very responsible (and probably not interested). First cousins

My wife and I have been struggling with this for years. By the time we figure it out they should be adults.

I only joke as a defense mechanism because it’s so sad that we don’t have anyone in our lives we trust with our children.

A friend of mine who’s any estate attorney said to me a long time ago (before kids) your worst decision is still better then any decision the court will make. Of your concerned have someone else manage the money. My sister would get my kids and we trust her completely bit someone else is the trustee, the said friend. Don’t delay get your will done anything can happen

Could be an option. Friends maybe? How do you decide and ask them?

I'll do it

We just did ours about a year ago. Luckily have a sibling we would trust. But our next option after them for us would be the grandparents. Do you have that as an option?Realize they may be older, but we are also talking a scenario we’re both parents are gone so not likely to happen.

Not a friend’s job unless very close. I think the cousin would be my first choice.

My parents are in their 80s and would have a really tough time. Wife’s parents are in 70s but have some health issues. I mean they could do it, but probably not for very long and our kids are still young. It’ll be 15 years before all of them are out of the house. Strange question, but my oldest daughter is from another marriage. She is 16 now, loves my younger kids. It’s a lot to ask, but maybe she could play a role??

i never abused my wife, never demanded anything materialistic from her and or her family, i have taken her to different places, bought everything that she demanded for

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions! I understand that every open relationship is different, and each couple defines their own arrangement/rules. For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!

Husband is a multi sport coach and gone a lot in season, I work in corp banking. Thinking about getting a travel trailer since I camp alone with the kids a lot in the summer, spring and fall for quick weekends. Does anybody do this where you take, maybe 1 day, to create multiple 3 day weekends scattered throughout the year for little trips instead of taking vaca in longer stints? Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.

I think it’s over with my SO of 3 years. He tells me he loves me and wants to work things through but has lied to me several times in the past - some which were the same mistake three times. He knows he needs professional help (he’s also on antidepressants and has PTSD) but I don’t know how I can trust him again. Feeling completely broken - cannot believe the situation we’re in. I’m so sad my heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do

I am wanting to start the adoption process. I reached out to pathways to parenthood for information first from my personal email. I got a response within 30 min asking me to email them back from my work email. I did so and it has now been 3 days with no response. Is there any other way of contacting them?

Kids these days 🤦

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY.

I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.
