I've been encouraging my cousin who desperately wants children to have them in her two bedroom apartment but she feels that she needs to have a house first and she and her husband can't afford one. They're in their late 30s.

There are a few ways to address declining birth rates and removing women's professional opportunities beyond motherhood is a heavy-handed one with heaps of negative trade-offs / externalities of its own.

My experience has been that women have kids when their lives feel stable and secure like when they have house, and they and their partner are out of school and a couple years into a well-paying, stable job. The longer that stability alludes

My understanding is that the Cloud org uses Salesforce, the rest of Google uses a self-developed solution.

I fall into the same category as your wife's extended family. I used it to get to the weight I feel most comfortable and I've gone back on it periodically (like after 5 weeks of work travel) to get back within 5 lbs of that weight

I notice it in people who have never been the weight that they're suddenly walking around as, with them it often looks overdone, too thin for their features etc, but in those who have used it to get back to weights where I've seen

Given the new requirement for the role, what would you have had her do differently?

Or perhaps its a vanity degree? Or its pursued by people with family wealth and good connections, the sort that an auction house or high-end gallery would want to hire.

My take is that the spirit of the law is to compensate spouses for sacrifices and risks they took in support of the other spouse. So for example, if Spouse A reduces their earning potential for Spouse B (ex. a military spouses are disadvant

I think to qualify for FMLA (have your job protected while you go on unpaid maternity leave) you have to work for a company for at least a year so if you lose your job unexpectedly that can postpone having a family as you have to re-set you

Do we still have sex? I keep seeing headlines that younger generations aren't having sex. My last relationship ended because my mid-30s male partner wasn't interested in sex.

It's even less about buying a home now and more about just affording a second or third bedroom in a rental. If you look at job centers, even when they do build multi-family they aren't building family sized units.

Divorce laws vary by state. California is equal property, and alimony kicks in immediately (no minimum length of marriage). As a female, higher earner, I paid my ex-husband alimony for a 1 yr 9 month marriage.

I have been in tech for 7 years and it would be a stretch to afford the house I grew up in. Plus the commute to the city from my parents has increased from 45 minutes to 2 hours over the last 30 years. My high school recently closed down be

Same boat. I know a number of women who couldn't find partners who both wanted kids and could pay half the bills so those women are now freezing their eggs or pursuing single motherhood by choice. Of the woman I know who are married, a

Bringing back woodshop, metalshop etc to schools could help with that.

My high school closed down because there weren’t enough families who could afford to live in the neighborhood.

A hair dresser I went to years ago switched to working out of her home instead of a salon because she said she was concerned about formaldehyde exposure. She told me Brazilian blowouts and other treatments and dyes have heaps of formaldehyd

Older homes had more usable space, so they felt larger. They could fit 4-5 bedrooms in 2400 sq ft or less.

Houses are bigger, but seem less thoughtfully designed with a lot of useless space that seems to be there to maximize the sq. footage to justify high prices.

People don’t have the right to simply live in highly desirable areas for very cheap - I find that it's less people can't afford to live in their dream locations as people can't afford to live where their jobs are, or within r

To see if you repost it with a lower salary if you get the same amount or fewer applicants and if there is a difference in applicant quality. It provides some insight into labor market.

More families would be open to townhomes and condos if they had 3-4 bedrooms.

This could help get me into a theatre more often. My top complaint for all movies, even the one I’ve enjoyed, over the past decade has been that they’re too long.

If they do RTO I wouldn't expect them to announce it during the busy Q4 holiday shopping season, that's an inopportune time for people to leave the company.

On-site childcare would guarantee I go into the office.
