I was childless until the age of 38. I'll be 40 when my third is born. My wife is 37. We didn't decide to have children when I was 37, we'd been together for a decade at that point. Still a lot of time for some perspective ch

Many of them prefer their perceived freedom living on the street vs. being placed into a living situation they didn't chose. In the handful of cases I am familiar with, including my brother in law, it's owed to untreated/negl

Interesting that you say that. I took a 10% raise in March and I was content with it. Last Friday, very unexpectedly, my manager (an SVP) gets me onto an ad-hoc 1:1 to tell me that I was approved for a 15% raise. Hush, hush, don't tell
