One leader on my team is just a controlling hot mess of an over confident man. He has terrible ideas, makes bad unilateral decisions, and frequently has no idea what he’s talking about or the context of the work being done on our team. He’s also super unethical and is doing very shady shit all the time (misleading clients, redirecting money from our university to his private company, etc.)

I frequently push back on his nonsense. Despite my tone in this post I do try to do it in tactful ways. He’s always annoyed about it.

What do you think? Worth it to keep doing it?

New study out discussed in the economist: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2026/04/16/why-eldest-siblings-are-brainier

TLDR on that is younger children have poorer outcomes because 1) more illness and 2) less quality parent time.

About to have my second child, and as second children ourselves, my husband and I would love to make sure our daughter is able to achieve her full potential just as well as her elder brother.

Thoughts?

Anyone know where I can find the following?

I need someone who can help with a hodgepodge of around the house tasks. For a handful of hours a week for the next couple months. I’m pregnant, we have a toddler, and we both work full time and the math just isn’t mathing for us to get everything done before baby 2 arrives.

Examples of tasks:

• Assemble lightweight shelving in basement and garage
• Research, contact, schedule, and be present for professional home services
• Organize specific home areas
• Assemble lightweight child play structure and outdoor bench
• Possibly: meal prep freezer meals, light laundry, light cleaning
