We moved into our house right before the pandemic, and since then I made friendships with 3 neighborhood moms. Recently I’ve noticed invitations and texts have slowed- it makes me wonder if something is up. I’m not sure what to do - is it awkward to ask if something is going on? All my other friendships are long and deep, so navigating newer friendships is not easy for me… but they’re neighbors and want these relationships to be on good footing… thx for advice!

Why do you initiate a get together?

I was afraid if that - the mom is so funny. How do you pick mom friends then?

As world opens back up people are probably more busy.

I have a feeling they are getting together without me, but idk if it’s true it if I’m just feeling sensitive…

Is it your turn? Reach out and initiate a playdate or something!

Well, you’ll have a good idea of where you stand with the other moms after that. Then you’ll know if you’re reading too much into things.

Continued: one of the moms and I definitely don’t communicate well with each other and I think we’ve mutually agreed that we won’t be best friends, but I’m not sure if that’s affected how the other two moms see me…

My cousin was supposed to join tcs last week, as he got the email confirmation with DOJ from recruiter(same is updated in ibegin portal). She has not rec any onboarding invite in Callender though.
However, she couldnt join and not yet sure of the reason.
Ibegin portal still says the same DOJ but BGC status is showing as scheduled. HR's not yet responded with the actual reason and not sure on next steps as well.
Any idea what could be the reason? Will they extend the DOJ or Cancel that offer?

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

I (36F) am married to another woman (34F) and we have a baby (5moF). We split all childcare, cleaning, meal prep, errands etc fairly evenly and it works well.

My friend (35F) recently took a business trip and literally put a binder together with instructions for her husband re: daycare drop off and pick up, what to feed the kids, when to take out the trash and so on.

We do exercises to help her learn to pull herself up and roll her to the side to teach her how to move from back to sitting. I'm not sure how to help her. Ftm here. Anxiety!!!

Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!
