My little 3yo was just able to swim about 5 yards to an island and then back to the wall on her own without any assistance. Very proud of her for getting over her fear of putting her head underwater and learning so quickly!

My 3.5 year old daughter plays better tennis then most of the 5-7 year old kids in her camp. No one ever showed her how to play but all the movements seem totally natural to her. I used to play tennis competitively in my youth but stopped 10 years ago - maybe the genetics carried forward...

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
