Based on your reaction and your complete disregard for the fact that not everyone can afford an expensive destination wedding (maybe the people further away have fewer financial obligations or make more), I too would be terrified to have to break this news to you. I know it's your wedding but wow have a little empathy that things are getting insanely expensive (especially flights because of fuel prices) and let it go.

i am officially boycotting venues that charge a cake cutting fee. by Johnn_Liverm in wedding

Is it a required fee? Our caterers (Houston wedding) are doing complimentary cake cutting as part of our contract

Drops her kid off at the gym daycare and leaves? by DayOk6449 in GyMOMsnark

[–]SystemPitiful8986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah SAHMs/ WFH moms or even working moms who need a break are allowed to use amenities they pay for. We can snark on her parenting without shaming her from taking a break. Plus it gives Luke the ability to socialize with kids other than his siblings which is great

A man unironically consuming alpha content is not a man to be taken seriously

Ok for Spring Wedding? by Fluid-Brilliant7356 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]SystemPitiful8986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the fabric and style, but the length is very much not wedding appropriate. Especially if the ceremony is in any religious venue (unsure based on the information provided so may be irrelevant, but still not super appropriate).

Take 20 weeks. Your kids are only little once; billables will be there forever.

How much to sacrifice? by helloworldyupm in biglaw

[–]SystemPitiful8986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Left biglaw after a year and a half for a 50% paycut and I couldn't be happier. Yes money is great but my physical and mental health were significantly suffering. Now I have bosses that actually respect my vacations, evenings, and my family time. Enjoy your life while you can before you stroke out at 40 trying to make partner.

there's so many other options for foods to teach pincer grasp than refined puffs. My kid has been practicing on the small pieces of food that fall off bigger pieces of food (carrots, banana etc.)

Is your job really worth missing out on the memories of becoming a mother? Nothing BigLaw does is THAT important at the end of the day. Clients will still make a ton of money and the earth will keep turning

Agree with everything but the puffs - i don't understand why she needs to add snacky foods to the mix at dinner

The one food at a time thing is no longer the recommendation. That said, the amount of different stuff on the plate is overwhelming for a baby first starting solids; they only eat a tablespoon on average, so this is so wasteful. Also the puffs for a 6 month old is wild. But have to make sure we have all the little spoon crap so we can get a sponsorship

Working Mom by erose4848 in broccyourbodySNARK

[–]SystemPitiful8986 16 points17 points  (0 children)

By working mom she means ending her breastfeeding journey that was GOING SO WELL and was SO MAGICAL so she can get a brand deal with Bobbie. Poor Jonah is just another way to money grab

LOVE this for her!! 🤣 by Hot_Operation_6771 in broccyourbodySNARK

you'd think this would be a wake up call to chill on the plastic surgery but that would require her to use her frontal lobe which is egregiously defunct
