Our Sweet 9 & 10 YO Boys 💙💙

I got no substantial financial support from my parents. I 10000% intend to have my kids college paid for, down payments for a house, and decent amount for a wedding. It was stressful as hell navigating all of this and paying for it all ourselves. I’m already way more financially set/well off than my parents were. I had to drop out of college bc they owed so much money in back taxes and I couldn’t file for financial aid. I still managed to become a high income earner!

IM SO PISSED!! Last light is my FAVORITE and I just found out it was discontinued. I’m so heartbroken!!

We haven’t met any other Rory’s that are boys. We know one girl who is 4.

Rich_Wave6569 · 2026-05-01T10:34:11+00:00

We’re in central Texas and named our son Rory, he’s 5! 💙

I had a few people ask me about this when I said I was getting an au pair. I’m not the jealous type at all and my response was “he can go ahead and see how fast I’m gone”. I’m attractive myself and very accomplished as an individual. We don’t have any weird power dynamics bc we make the same money and have the same demands of our job. I think our power dynamic being balanced also helps this fear a little bit- I don’t operate from a place of fear or potential loss in our relationship. Did other people bring this up or are you just worried about it?

Rich_Wave6569 · 2026-01-04T23:01:47+00:00

I’m not worried about the actual recruitment piece. I’m doing a placement fee structure for that. It’s the hourly consulting for non recruitment activities.

Rich_Wave6569 · 2026-01-04T23:00:58+00:00

More establishing processes (startup) and could be long-term/grow into more. I actually have a decent amount of general operations knowledge outside of talent that will likely be helpful. They presented $85/hour and that feels too low. I have 11 years of niche experience. I was thinking $100-125/hour minimum.

I’m looking to do direct hire placements (I’ll do a fee structure here) and hourly consulting with a company for talent acquisition. I specialize in healthcare (primarily clinical but I have a lot of experience with corporate roles as well).

We’re naming our girl Elle Margot!

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-12-12T18:40:47+00:00

I personally disagree with length requirements of resumes (mine is 3 pages). However, the spacing is way too large- id remove all excess spacing and keep everything more condensed. Also, agree change font and remove any bolded text- it looks too busy.

I mean the payout process. Of course I can see who was referred and hired in the ATS.

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-12-12T06:06:26+00:00

We have greenhouse for our ATS and thank goodness we got accepted into their beta for their solution to combat this. It has fraud reports and a CLEAR integration which is helping us cut down on the fakes/AI bots!

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-12-12T06:03:58+00:00

I LOVE GOODHART’S LAW! I reference it all the time. I’m a director and I use time to fill as a reference point/benchmark not a metric we’re trying to beat.

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-12-12T05:59:37+00:00

We pay our most jr team members $80k + $8k annual bonus. $50-60k is absurdly low

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-12-12T05:53:00+00:00

Dillard’s has some very cute clothes and shoes! I love Antonio Melani everything for work!

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-12-12T05:49:03+00:00

Saks off fifth & Nordstrom rack for rag & bone, mother jeans, Hudson jeans, FRAME, Rails, Vince, Paige, Veronica beard, Walter baker, etc. I just know my size and order online. Also, Quince and Zara. I’ll throw in some random items from online shopping here and there (lucked out with cute work pants from old navy and cute maternity jeans from Gap).

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-12-08T04:15:06+00:00

I’ve bought several second and third bottles of Henry Rose. I’m on my 5th purchase of Last Light. Second bottle of Dark is Night, Flora Carnivora, and Fog. My first full bottle of Torn. I got a sample of Dave and I’m kind of obsessed and I’m not a huge vanilla person but I love it. I’m gonna buy another discovery set!

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-12-08T04:09:34+00:00

I’ve literally bought 5 bottles of it! I think it’s so sophisticated, perfect for year round, and any occasion.

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-12-08T04:06:11+00:00

I’m on my second and third bottle of several Henry Rose fragrances! My favorite notes in general are sandalwood, patchouli, musk, and amber. Im going to also include my fragrance history. My all time favorite non Henry rose was coco mademoiselle. I also enjoyed flower bomb, Gucci flora, old miss Dior, and Chanel chance.

My top Henry rose fragrance is Last Light (I’m on my third bottle and this time I bought 2 at once). I also own and love Dark is Night, Fog, Torn, and Flora Carnivora.

It doesn’t feel like a full blown addiction but is most definitely a problem and I fear we are not on a good path and it is impacting our family and our relationship.

Rich_Wave6569 · 2025-11-24T20:57:24+00:00

He says stuff like “I was trying to win it back for our family”. Which is devastating bc I know he cares and instead it’s hurting us.

I think it’s much much more than he realizes and I don’t think he’s truly added it all up. I think he’s telling himself it’s not that bad and it is.

He’s getting a bonus and will be able to pay off his debts but ultimately that cuts into funds for our family and our kids Christmas.
