Wife wants another kid, I don’t. One I just don’t and two we haven’t been connecting lately so it doesn’t make sense to me. She’s threatened to leave me if I don’t want another kid and do what she can to keep our full time. I haven’t missed any moments of my child’s life and don’t intend on ever doing so. She also want me to spend a couple grand to go to a destination wedding for her friend that I loathe and threw a fit until I caved in. I’m exhausted!!!

I have a young student with CVI and extremely limited mobility. She is able to vocalize but not speak. However, I’ve seen her response and mannerisms change (positively) in the presence of parents and siblings which leads me to believe that she is cognizant enough to possible use a communication device. However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?

How do you all deal with toxic politics from parents? For me it's not just left/right. There's outright racism and conspiracy theories. And what makes it worse is the constant rambling, ....

hi - new to this bowl. I want to make sure I’m not being irrational or dramatic lol.

My boyfriend forgot my upcoming birthday. He scheduled a pick-up hockey game on that day and when I asked him about it, he said it was important to him to play hockey with his friends and we could celebrate my birthday a different day. for context, we’ve been dating for over a year and he knows how important celebrating is to me. im pretty close to ending it... thoughts?

My boyfriend is not the best at providing emotional support. I’m pretty sure a lot of it stems from him not being able to fully express his emotions when he was younger. Does this mean our relationship is doomed or is there anything we can do to work on this? I just want to feel supported and that he is there for me.

Hi All,
I am a new joiner to TCS. My wife is pregnant (4 months completed). Can I claim her delivery expense. Please advise.

I'm so glad to see the changes to accept more women in academia in recent years. I'm hopeful that my own daughter will be able to follow in my footsteps one year.

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!

After how many years of marriage did you realize that your wife talks to her mom more than she talks to you?

Recently got in a relationship with this girl for a few weeks and we’ve had our differences because we’re two very different people learning about each other / trying to find a middle ground. She broke up with me last night saying she doesn’t have the emotional energy to dedicate to the relationship and is just walking away instead of putting in the work that a relationship requires. She doesn’t seem like she knows what she wants - after the talk, she said she has strong feelings for me and wjll

Consulting Baby Shower question - what was the best baby shower gift you ever received?

Hello! I’m only about 4 weeks pregnant, so super early. I am about to go on vacation and thankfully did a quick search on some “dos and donts” for the first trimester. I am v disappointed to see I shouldn’t do saunas and hot tubs as my vacation was really planned to be all relaxation. But it got me thinking, could you all share the most surprising pregnancy do or don’t you’ve encountered? I feel like I just need a master list cause there seem to be so many limitations 😭

How do you know if your friendship has gone beyond friendship and it is something different?

I have pretty strong social phobia and am worried about making friends. I'm going to be working for an engineering company so I imagine I don't have to be really up on the latest trends or anything but how can I talk to people without making it sound unnatural?

What advice would you have wished your young selves to know?

I hope he’s in as much pain as I am. The way he ended it was so cold and selfish and unlike how he was any other time with me. It was like a personality switch. I’ve never been so wrong about someone. I’m not sure how to process or recover from that part of it.

Can someone refer me to KPMG?

The biggest spot I'm interested in within tech is Fintech (by a good margin), but given the current environment (layoffs), I'm a big worried. Guessing I should be looking at late stage startups / large banks?

I don't like dogs. Why do pet owners look at you weird if you don't like dogs or cats? Doesn't everyone have a right to their preferences? I'm not saying it's not nice, just want it far away from me.

On January 1, I weighed 262 lbs; a week later, I realized my weight was having some real impacts on my life, so I decided to do something about it. Have lost about 1% of my body weight every week since, and I'm at 218 today. Based on height and build, I'm no longer overweight for the first time since college.

Still shooting for about 195 as the goal, but damn I'm proud of myself for actually doing something without external pressure forcing the issue.
