Female work acquaintance is married to a woman. Colleague’s wife gave birth to their child four years ago. Colleague is now pregnant. Both are mid 30s and successful professionals. Is it appropriate for her to have a shower? Showers are for young women on their first child aren’t they?
If you were spending Thanksgiving alone with your preschooler, how would you spend the day? Spouse will be out of town and we aren’t flying cross-country to see extended family or vice versa. The weather will be nice where we live, if that affects your response. I’m trying to plan something to do so I don’t feel bummed about spending the holiday almost alone (no offense to my kid).
When my spouse and I were in grad school far from our families, we use to spend Thanksgiving a.m. volunteering and then would hike in the afternoon. Depending on whether friends were around we’d either host friends for a potluck or have our own non-Thanksgiving dinner, but doing something like that feels daunting with a small child.
