What to do for a spouse who is struggling emotionally but refuses to get professional help?
I’m 17 weeks pregnant with our first. My husband is really struggling with emotional/ mental health. I’ve asked him to consider counseling or other medical alternatives. Instead, he wants to talk to me until 11:30 pm or 12 am at night. I want to be there for him but I can’t. I’m tired. I’m still working VERY full time, and I was just diagnosed with early onset preeclampsia 😫

Hello,

Anyone into healthcare market research here?

My wife and I both work in Big Law and I'm thinking about divorcing her.



That way we can get remarried and take a 3 week honeymoon; I think we both could use the break.

Waze has been tried and true. Gets me there, warnings are reliable and routing around jams is wonderful. Just won’t go anywhere without it. Often zoom on routes my kids are taking just to be sure they are safe. Great app.

Curious to hear others’ stories about the positive changes they experienced (mentally and physically) after they quit drinking....I am thinking about quitting again - mainly to improve my mental and physical state.

Can I take Tylenol for arthritis if I don’t have arthritis?

Just scheduled a meeting to go over an offer for a Senior Engineer role. When asked what I would need to make in order to leave my current job, I said at least $160k depending on benefits (I know I shouldn't have given a number).

I make a little over $145k now, plus stock options, a monthly home office stipend (fully remote), and your usual health benefits.

Assuming their benefits are comparable to my current position, have I given up all negotiation power by providing the initial number?

Over 12 years of experience in Healthcare vía administration, any ideas or suggestions to transitioning over to becoming a consultant?

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?

After nearly a week I can breathe through my nostrils again! Feels so good 😇

Did anyone find working from home during the pandemic was extra challenging to stay productive? The lack of routine send my ADHD spiraling

Help — would love to get into production but I have 0 experience, besides the occasional talent + competitive research for a brand’s series. How do I get started? Really just want to help out on set* and see how things work!

Do you think it matters if you and your SO’s friends are similar? My boyfriend and my backgrounds are very different and while we are fine with each other’s friends, I would never mesh our friend groups. A part of me always get envious of couples who are able to expand their friend groups and do fun things together

Any recommendations to a naturopathic doctor in DC?

Has anyone worked for/with Evolent Health?

Doge in the top 30! That, and the fact that my 70 yr old mother in law bought some of everything on coinbase should signal the beginning of the end.

Anyone else feel like we are just shuffling in place? Feels like we were so fast to jump into quarantine and put solid fence posts up (rightly so) but I feel like we keep pushing the plans to get out of qtine our week after week with the same message being told without much progress.

Automating the industry, yay or nay. If my job gets made redundant, it would probably be better for the bank and for me.

Are salaries really comparable/competitive in Singapore? Is it worth the move?

Does anyone know know the pay for job grade 033 with Atrium Health? Thank you for the help.

Looking to renew a lease in Lakeview and wondering how much room there is to negotiate rent. Landlord is keeping rent flat and giving 1 month free. Any advice on how to get a better deal? (Is this standard for the market right now?)

Question: Does anyone have a partner that insists that you dictate using a dictaphone? I prefer just to type my standard two/three page reports to carrier/client. Wondering if anybody thinks a dictaphone is completely obsolete or if I should make a total effort to just dictate everything. Practice is 90% insurance defense litigation.

What would you like dog trainers to add to obedience classes that would make your job easier?

If EY goes public, would existing partnership agreement terms/conditions basically cease? In other words, would a PP’s new ownership (in the form of stock) essentially mean that most (if not all) prior terms (e.g. a forced retirement age) go away?

Does Modafinil make you focused?

Please like . It required for direct message.

Edelman. Fourth time now — each time, they reach out to me! Honestly, I’m not looking for a job just trying to be polite and keep my network open but fool me once; fourth time and you’ve been blocked.

Acronym NYC was a nightmare to try to get feedback/move the process along

If you refer to financial statement numbers in a possessive tone such as “my numbers” - you need to be fitted for a straight jacket.

Me and my wife has 5.5 years of experience in sap and big data engineer respectively. Together we earn 27lpa.

Hi, I need help. I am looking for some coaching guidance for my personal development. Is anyone aware of any platform that connects to coaches ?

Does anyone have experience with estate planning memberships? Like Wealth Counsel? American Academy of Estate Planning? Lawyers with Purpose? Etc... my law partner and I have considered some of these memberships but they’re a bit pricey, are they worth it? Any insights would help. Thanks!

Excited to be here!

Holidays are coming.

Any one have unique customs/traditions to share? Looking to establish our own ways of celebrating.

Sooo my nanny fell asleep holding the baby. My husband and I work from home. So, he walked in, saw them and put the baby in the crib.
Ask: Any advice on how to address this with the nanny? Also, it it a fire able offense?

Context: Nanny started full time on 1/24; baby is not quite 5 months old; we are WFH and have cameras installed that are visible (she should know they exist); first time having a nanny

Thanks all for this group. 1st time expecting dad 🧔🏾.

I’m a little bit all-over the place and not sure where to start financial planning from.

I live in a Tier-1 city and think it’s necessarily to move to Tier-3. It’s important that my kids grow up in a house vs. apartment. Also need to stretch my dollar as far as possible.

Total comp - $180K

How much should I budget for the 1st year of baby?

Where can I get good and affordable baby clothes 0-3 months?

Seeing local parents reacting to the public school lottery results in DC, got me super nervous about when it’s my kids turn.

I hate the idea of having so little control.

Thank y’all for starting this bowl! Newly expecting mama here 🤰🏾I’ll be 11 weeks tomorrow! My husband and I are praying that I give birth to healthy 🤴🏾 or 👸🏾. I look forward to learning from this group!

Hey family-Has anyone gone with a pediatrician who didn’t have hospital rights to do the exam at birth?
Context: first baby, high risk pregnancy (blood pressure), in northern Dallas suburbs but delivering in Dallas proper; strongly prefer a doctor of the diaspora (my OB is black; we want our son to see black excellence all around), but those in the suburbs tend not to have rights in hospitals in Dallas proper

Any thoughts on Montessori toys. School etc vs it’s competition?

My 5 year old son demanded a haircut because he doesnt like his curly hair. Its too curly. He wants hair thats like Fletcher's. (Fletcher is his white friend from day care). My son and his sister are the only blacks at the day care. I dont know how to broach the subject with him.

Any of the sisters deal with gestational diabetes but already had a restrictive diet pre and during pregnancy?
Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy. So not surprised I couldn’t process their drink-I don’t consume stuff like that regularly. I walk a mile or do HIIT training 5x/ week. The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)

Expecting dad. Nice to be on here.

My wife and I need a break. Had our first baby in March and we are worn out (getting better) but very tired. Wife said to me “I need us time”, and she’s never said that in the 3 years we’ve been married. Suggestions on getaways or things to do?

Today I REALLY miss sleeping in on Saturdays.

Been up since 6:30, and she had the nerve not to eat the pancakes I made. 😡😡😡

How are you all managing COVID anxiety for the little ones?

My wife and I are fully vaxxed now and we know kids seem to not be impacted much by it, but it still feels irresponsible to go back to “normal” if it means putting them at risk.

Anyone have tips on culturally relevant (read Black) parent podcasts or parent preparation programs?

I’m looking for something similar to New Mom Boss but for us

Potential unintended consequences of my parenting decisions is the most stressful thing ever.

The “right” approach can feel so clear one moment, then feel like a huge mistake the next.
