Hi moms..I am 38 but will be 39 when third kid comes along. The other two are 8 and 17 months. Finally found a job I like and am good at. We were officially done having kids after number 2 but this sudden surprise happened. I am 11 weeks and still can't get excited about this. I just never enjoyed the new born phase and pregnancy. I am also sad about being the old mom in the playground..I know not important but feel embarrassed about having a surprise at 39. Can anyone relate?

JOB THREAD

Let us keep in touch regarding openings at your firms

Just checked all the assets and realized we're close to 1M€ net worth. Most of it is on the house, don't feel rich at all.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

US resident here. My girlfriend is looking for an opportunity in the EU. She only speaks English unfortunately and she is in marketing. Two questions: 1) Have you seen it happen? 2) who facilitated the transition? Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
