🎇What’s your biggest win from 2021? Drop it below, let’s celebrate 🥳

Trigger warning abortion: i want to keep my pregnancy but my Partner doesn’t want to… he wants to wait another year to have kids because we have only known each other less than a yr. We had a 2 hr difficult convo about it and i told him i would need a week to decide although deep down i want to keep it 🥺. Any ladies know what i can do/ say to navigate this?

My three month old baby’s tummy really rumbles and bubbles when she starts taking her bottle. And sometimes she cries and whines like the formula hurts her. It’s been like this since maybe she was a couple weeks old, and she was initially on breast milk and it did the same thing to her. I don’t think it’s food allergies as she has no other symptoms (no weird poop, no excessive spit up, etc.), but it’s still worrying as she seems so uncomfortable sometimes. (Cont)

First pregnancy...what were your fave options for work appropriate maternity clothes?

Is there a path from FDD that leads to a realistic WLB? I want to start a family someday, but just don’t see how it’s possible to be a good spouse or parent with the time demands of this career. 3yrs of work experience if that matters.

What are some viable side hustles for consultants? Have a new kid on the way and can’t afford day care so need to hustle it out nights and weekends if possible.

Feeling really depressed today. Have worked on my health for the last year and changed my life to give myself the best shot at IVF. Had 11 eggs at retrieval and only 1 has made it to early blastocyst. Don’t know what to do with myself and a future without my baby seems so bleak.

I don’t think I can stomach sleep training 😖 Any motivational stories, tips, or other experiences? Baby is 8 weeks old.

Hi Ladies, How do you approach when your daughter (8) is invited to a sleepover/pool party at a hotel with other girls she’s friends with? I know the family a little from afar as our kids are in the same class/extracurricular activities but I don’t know them well. I’m going to assume the mom will be there but I just don’t know how to approach the convo without coming off weird.

I'm looking for a pictogram I found once. it's the story of Life told through signatures of a man gets married you see mr. And mrs. Life goes on, one dies,later, later child takes over. I did google

To the Creative Directors approaching their 40s that are single with no kids and work 60-70hr weeks. You have all the awards and work at awesome places but is it worth it?

Any advice on good baby monitors? Preferably ones that you can have multiple cameras. Ours (Infant Optics) crapped out after 16 months of use.

8 weeks pregnant and had some spotting yesterday. Drs office is closed for the long weekend but I talked to the on-call nurse who said to call back if it gets heavier. Anyone else had this experience? Trying to stay calm but quite worried.

Just venting. I forgot how hard it was to leave baby with a nanny. I dropped my 4 year old at Pre-K this morning. Zero fuss all around. Kiss at the door, and she just ran in, and I know she'll have an awesome day. But it's also day 1 with our nanny for our almost 1.5 year old. The separation anxiety is intense. My husband thinks I'm being silly, but I'm bawling. I've gotten used to being with her pretty much every day, and I hate this transition period.

MOTHER & OGILVY NY: What's good for lunch other than Gotham Market?

Curious if we can use this group to crowd source a resource on the relative sizing of various baby clothing brands. To try and keep it organized, the top level comment will be the name of the brand and you can reply to the brand with your opinion on sizing. See comments with my first pass -- would love any and all inputs.

Someone needs to create a “Dogtopia” for kids / babies. Overnight baby sitting place.

Moms.. anyone have a mother’s helper with you at home during after school hours for a few hours so you can work while they watch your kids and help with housework? What’s the going rate (DMV area)?

Prior baby’s car seat is not expired and has never been in an accident. Probably checked it at the airport a few times over the years a which means it was thrown around some. Would you get a new one or reuse the old one for a new baby?

Has anyone gotten pregnant with an IUD? I’ve had mine for five years and just had the thought...

Me and husband were picky eaters as kids and I am still . My mother ( extremely helpful) wants to make sure our LO eats everything and wants to try BLW. LO goes to day care. Has anyone tried it ?

What is a trend that you can’t get behind?

Does Deloitte Digital/Advisory case interview? Or just Deloitte Consulting?

I consider myself a gen xer. I feel that in the past, longevity and loyalty to a company was the trend. Now, i see ppl with resumes and they stay for less than a year in a job and change jobs constantly. The younger generation and are so eager to move up the ladder. I wonder if the move up is too fast and is really justified. Or perhaps the younger generation feels a lot more entitled and are more aggressive. Thoughts?

Any advice for McKinsey interviewing for experienced hires? Looking to switch over to an Expert role w/ referral, and just starting to dip my feet into the recruiter interactions

Best "Consultant Speak" sentence you've hated yourself for saying /typing?

Does anybody think moving from Chicago to a smaller city inhibits your career trajectory? Currently in consulting, but would like to move back to MI to see family more often.

I think FB's exit strategies would be sell all this personal data to partners

Does everyone in industry have such relaxed hours? I see clients come in at 10am and leave by 4pm all the time...

Traded my first class upgrade for a middle seat on an earlier flight. Worth it to be able to put my daughter to bed tonight. 🙌👶🌒

My red eye flight is overbooked and “over weight”. They are looking for 45 volunteers to be rebooked on another flight....45. This is the craziest.

I'm not saving anything on a 6 figure salary. I'm 26 years old. I don't spend money on electronics, travel, cars, or clothes. I never learned to budget - can you please recommend some self-help guides
