    I didn’t negotiate when I should have. Is 8 months too early to ask for a raise?

    @omandi111 You should definitely ask! I'd spend some time thinking about ways you've grown into your role. If you can locate the job description from when you were hired that would help.

    Friend 34F is considering having a baby with her ex 40’sM

    Camping with an infant?

    @ecclesiastian We camped last summer/fall with our daughter 3 times when she was 3-5 months old. So big caveat is that she was NOT mobile at all during these periods. Sleeping surface - we used a yoga mat. Specifically this...
