When is a good time to let my manager know the fact that we are expecting so that the team can plan for the time when I will be on paternity leave

At least wait until 2nd trimester

I am pretty close with my PPMDs so basically told him when we told everyone. No real planning took place until closer to arrival. I took two weeks off right away then 4 months off after my wife went back to work. I let them know that timing as soon as we decided on our approach.

Your policy should have some guidance. I think I told them like a few months out? That whole period is a blur.

Congratulations!

I’d say around 4-5 months before the due date. Don’t tell before the 2nd trimester, but don’t wait so long that they hear it through the grapevine or that everyone is scrambling to transition your project for the time you’ll be out. Keep in mind babies can come early, and/or complications can arise (e.g., your partner is placed on bed rest), and you don’t want the first anyone hears of the impending birth to be if/when that happens.

Congratulations 🍾🎉 you will need time for doc visits, likely want to avoid travel. I will tell immediate M/SM in confidence mid-way second trimester if this is a very long gig

Annual review advice?
I feel very secure in my long-term employment and am doing very well. I work at a midsized boutique with a generally solid culture. I’ve been described as “rising star/golden child” etc., glowing reviews. The thing is that I’ve had a tough year with absent mentors, low interaction/training (there are extenuating circumstances with my SA.) Do I mention what changes I need to see to stay here? Or just go along, accept my good reviews and bonus, and keep my head down?

Hey Guys, Slightly an off topic question. I along with my wife and kid are planning to move to Bangalore and looking for rentals in Hebbal Kempapura. Would be great if anyone staying in this area could suggest some good apartments complexes.

i just had sex with my wife after like 11 months (reason for the gap: pregnancy+new baby).

And. It. Was. Life-affirming.

My partner and I planned a trip with all of his friends and their wives before I knew I was pregnant. We will be going and I’m 8 weeks pregnant. I considered not going because I feel like without them all knowing I’m pregnant they’re going to think I’m super lame. We decided the best thing to do is just tell his friends (although a bit earlier than ideal) and then take the pressure off me to show up in any way that doesn’t feel good for me. I don’t even know what my question is…..

Anyone else feel obligated to take family/friend referrals to healthcare providers? My brother is a dentist and, in light of some work I need done, said "hey! Go to so-and-so at such-and-such. He's a friend and really great." And I'm sure he IS really great, but I love my dentist and don't feel a need to switch. But my brother has already told his friend to expect me.

What list of benefits do you look into when your about to turn in your two weeks? I’m assuming get your dentist/vision checked, FSA, any others?

I’ve been asked to weigh in on how to improve my firms parental leave policy. It’s currently 8 weeks paid for birth parent with an extra week for each year at the firm (up to 12 weeks total) and 2 weeks paid for non-birth parent. I’m in a major city, firm is a boutique that has been around a very long time. What would you suggest? Any studies or research you’ve seen recently on trends in parental leave policies also helpful. I’d like to have some sort of data to back up what I recommend. TIA!

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?
1. Use trad. 401k to reduce taxable income now. Convert to trad. IRA once retired, then convert gradually to Roth IRA (ladder, SEPP, etc.) at lowest marginal tax rate
2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty

My parent is sick with dementia. I can tolerate high level of stress when I'm called names, sent to h... etc.. but I keep everything inside. It's been that way for a long while now. Today my cup of tolerance has overflown when I was giving my parent a bath. I was so angry that I was shaken and I forced my parent to bath... I yelled and said things I would never say otherwise. I know I'm wrong and it's a disease, but I just couldn't help it... now.. the work time comes... I couldn't concentrate... tears just flowing from my eyes. Which I totally deserve. I'm glad I was working from home today. It got to the point that I just don't want to see that anymore... I just don't want to wake up. I just want to escape of my thoughts and my feelings...

My normally super regular period is now five days late (not pregnant)... Is this perimenopause? 😭 I’m only 44 and so not ready for this.
