No. Only way to survive with the a/c on 56 degrees.

Grandma perspective….
It takes two to tango. It’s now a partnership and time to grow up together. It’s fine on occasion to go out with the boys and I hope you will encourage her to do the same. Long gone are the days of partying and binge drinking. However, as someone who has been married for over 35 years it is also important you both support each other to get away with friends on occasion. The worst thing I hear dads say is referring to their night on duty as babysitting. Moms never say that. It has to be a partnership to work.

Nothing more sobering than a new baby.

We both stopped drinking when the kids came. Not intentionally, just happened. Sucks being hung over with two toddlers, let me tell you 😂

I mean, it sucks sober sometimes too

I didn't go sober, but I am less inclined to drink anyway so naturally when my wife isn't drinking, I ended up having less occasions to drink and my drinking went way down.

My brother has started drinking. And his daughters are now teenagers. Coincidence?

How can I be less impulsive OR how can I stay motivated past the 10 day mark?? TIA

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.

I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?
