I am severely burned out and my boss tells me to suck it up. He's been a realtor for 50 years only because he inherited this company from his father, but he never had to do any of the hard lifting. Being a realtor is hard and tiring, y'all.

How do you deal with the worry of having to provide for your family when your parent(s) are struggling to start a second career? I feel selfish & don’t even think they’d accept my help but I’m scared.

How to deal with your mother in law from hell on your wedding day? My fiancé also agrees that his mom is losing it and she has been horrible during this whole wedding planning process. I don’t want to have to think about her or have her ruin my day.

Moms of teens, where you at?

My teenager pulled some sneaky crap tonight to go to a party at midnight many cities away. I lost my sh*t.

How are other mom’s handling their teens and parties? Advice needed.

I grew up going to parties all the time, getting into trouble, so I know what happens at parties. To this, I have become a strict parent, more so because the very real fear of fentanyl everywhere 😩

Can we just skip the teen years please?!

Has anyone decided to quit? I am at the peak of burn out, too much of baggage in personal life to sort out, kid is totally neglected and not to mention I am physically drained. I am not sure how to navigate the situation and where to start.

If you could go back and start over would you still choose this path? Or would you choose a different career and/or a different time to have children? I accidentally became a working parent in law so while I love my job and my children I don't think I would have planned it quite like this.

As a parent, do you prioritize making career choices that are “safe” but not inspiring, or do you prioritize making the choices that are less safe but help you realize your full potential? I’m faced with such a choice, and while I’m fine with my safe job, I get stuck on how to explain myself to my daughters someday because I feel I’d want more for them. I feel a lot of pressure to model the right thing for them, especially as a same sex parent - anyone else?

Went in for a scan yesterday because I was having spotting and cramping at 12 weeks. The OB saw fluid behind the baby’s neck and is referring us to see a high risk doctor immediately. NIPT was negative. I’m panicking. Have any of you been through this?

What do you tend to do with your Kid(s) for spring break? I want to start traveling abroad with my 8 yr old daughter but wondering if she’s too young or if it’s safe enough for just us 2 to travel abroad? I think the exposure would be a good learning experience yet fun!

Anyone here adopt a puppy during the infertility struggle? Husband and I considering it to have something positive throughout this situation and thinking the extra companionship would be helpful. I work from home. Husband has had many family dogs and lots of experience with it, I’ve had a family cat before. But not sure if it’s actually a good idea - wondering if it would truly help make us feel better and keep our minds off of the struggles or if it would just add extra stress. Thoughts?

Y’all just a quick vent - I am 10 weeks 4 days and just really f*cking tired of being tired and nauseous. Work is like pulling teeth right now with a difficult client and a director/partner who aren’t respecting boundaries particularly well with some utilization BS on top of it. I have anxiety and ADHD just normally and this is our first child (but second pregnancy after one miscarriage earlier this year). Just uuugggghhhhh. Tips for coping appreciated.

It all starts tomorrow! So freaking excited! Hope it’s not a Mercedes - Redbull show yet again. I’m hoping it’s a 3 way or 4 way race. That’ll be amazing!

Is the push for diversity in ad agencies really a push for diversity, or is it a push for better, fairer (and much needed, and deserved) opportunities for Black people? Why no mention of opportunities for Native-Americans, Arab-Americans, Asians, etc? We had a discussion in our agency where one (black) person on the committee that helped move us forward said it was ‘a black issue’ primarily.

Has this happened to you? How did you make it work? I’m so miserable and know I need to move back to where I was before…
