Everything I can find is outdoors, but it's a monsoon wedding for a reason, I don't want to bother. All the banquet halls are starting to look the same, so I'd like people's suggestions for places they enjoyed.

Mumbai: we're aware of Athena Banquets (a friend's having a wedding there). We're seriously considering Gallops because the restaurant is gorgeous. Trident Nariman Point is another one (if it's within our budget) because it has a really nice sea-facing venue. In general, some scenery outside the venue would be nice since our wedding will be during the day. I'm kind of intrigued by Kino's Cottage but I'm not sure if the indoor space is large enough.

Open to places nearby Mumbai like Alibaug (maybe Karjat?) as well, but I don't know any venues.

Haven't been to anywhere in Goa yet, but open to suggestions since we might go to see what's up. The budget will be easier to manage, I imagine, so I'm all for it.

Hi, lurking mum posting here. I hope it's okay.

I wanted some advice on how to help my husband.

He's wonderful with our baby, we're very 50/50 on everything. We used to have Sundays to ourselves because my parents would take her, but unfortunately my parents' marriage has blown up this year and so they are now only a last resort option. So, we have no more Sundays to ourselves. We try to get some time alone when we can (we do have help during the day with the baby and house), but I think the lack of Sundays, the constant presence of baby and now the weight are actively getting him down.

On the weight issue, I bought a weighing machine the other day because I have, of course, gained weight post baby and now that our little one is over a year old, am ready to start tracking it so that I can lose it. He also weighed himself and confirmed he was also overweight. Considerably so.

I want to make it perfectly clear: I think he is the most gorgeous person alive. I'm honestly far more concerned about my weight than his (he has a lot of muscle, I don't have any!). But I think this is really depressing him, or that he is actually depressed and this has just bought it out more. He randomly has been getting very tired/sleepy, despite work being light, has loss of appetite, and just seems ... down. He also has chronic back pain (not just the weight, although that's also a factor, but there is also an old injury at play).

Do you have any suggestions on how I can help him? He has said that he'll tell me if there's anything I can do, but I feel terrible, like I'm here just having a decent time while he's suffering. He helps me more than I help him (I have a health condition, epilepsy, and I had a seizure last week, and I think it frightened him a little), and I hate it.

He also has ADHD, if that make a difference. He has prescribed meds for it but only takes them on heavy-work days. I floated the idea of having him take them every day and he said he's open to that if I think it'll help. I have no idea if it'll help. Will it help? What if it doesn't help? What will help?

Thank you.

Hi all, we recently opened a new job listing for a specific role in my team. The listing is on our company page, and I have permission to post the link to it on LinkedIn. I requested permission for this because I have a good network of [role] that I want to tap into via LinkedIn. (My company doesn't hire through LinkedIn and I will be sharing this post with only my connections.) I have two questions, however.

1. Is it bad form to post this on Labour Day? I can't decide if this is a good idea or a terrible idea. It would help me open with 'Happy Labour Day', but I worry my sense of humour here is too dark.

2. What do I even write? 'We're looking for people interested in [role]: [link]' seems too brief. I do want to add what I'm looking for, but does it have to match 1:1 to the posting? For example, we require a certain task to be done in [role], but this isn't listed in the posting and may not always be expected by people capable of [role] (although it is covered under the general skillset that is mentioned as required in the posting - i.e. Microsoft Office expertise). How clear can I be while staying professional, in other words?

I am a somewhat unwilling manager, but I like my team and need more good people like them. I have never posted anything like this on LinkedIn before. Appreciate any help. Thanks!
