Do you think being pregnant and giving birth fundamentally changed your body? Aged you more than normal years?

Any recommendations on how I can help my 62 year old mother find a new job? she has worked in a bakery for over 49 years since immigrating to the US in 89 and the bakery is now closing. She's terrified of not working and I know it's not good for her to stay at home. She doesn't have any clerical or typing skills and I personally would like her to find a job that is not as strenuous or physically demanding as a bakery. she has an accent but can speak english well & loves customer service.

38 yo in Germany, wife & 2 kids (5 & 1), 1 kid with Autism. Should I be investing as much as possible or just enough to keep some cash floating around? I have all the insurances (life, health, disability, accident) and making about 105k+ EUR in Germany. I'm investing in Mutual Funds, private retirement fund, ETFs and Real state for the elderly (Pflegeimmobilien in German) and it's only 12% of my income. Should I be investing more or maybe diversify?

Anyone have advice on reviving a marriage that hasn't gotten any attention for too many years because kids and work come first?
My husband and I are pretty good co-parents, which is great, but he isn't very responsive to my attempts to make time for romance, & the relationship has died down after 19 years. (Sex is good but the emotional connection isn't.) Last kid at home graduates in 5 years, and we may become one of those couples that divorces after the kids leave the nest.

My baby daughter is almost 1 and I’m looking to stop breastfeeding and wean to cows milk soon. She has had very few bottles in the past 12 months (combo of Covid + she rejected bottles for several months) so we’ve primarily been nursing. I’m looking for weaning tips from parents in a similar situation. Seems like most methods involve combo of breast milk + cows milk in a bottle but that doesn’t really work for us since I haven’t pumped since like November!

Ladies, is it normal to have your SO not as forward thinking in terms of money and future savings as you? I’m someone who plans it to the T - how much do I need to save for the wedding, house, baby, retirement etc.. he is someone who isn’t lavish about his spending but he is also some what live in the moment.. this is t the right time to invest for me.. And if I suggest something, he says you can do what you want - I’m not stopping you.. I just don’t want to do it right now..

I don’t know if I’ve just chosen firms that aren’t a good fit for me, or if I would just prefer a job outside of the legal arena... Have any of you made a move to a job outside of traditional legal work and been more fulfilled? Or know of anyone who has?

How do you start building confidence in your legal judgement? I’m a rising 5th year and, now that I’m running my own deals, I’m making a lot of decisions on my own. I was really hoping that after a few deals the anxiety would lessen…but it hasn’t. I’ve been told I’m doing a great job, but my billing has become inefficient…which I know stems from me quadruple checking everything. I honestly don’t know how to fix this - any recs?

First year associate struggling with over promising and under delivering. I have about 6 clients and work with roughly 12 attorneys.

My assistant of 2 years is making mistakes and I have no hiring/firing power (partner does). But having to babysit her and also the partner and spend time to clean up these mistakes while also getting my job done has become unsustainable. I can’t have a firm talk with her because it’s an empty firmness. If I mention it to the partner - he tells me to have a firm talk with her, he doesn’t want to be the bad guy and he doesn’t get how bad it has been for me.

Hello ladies, I would love some advice. Do any of you suffer from not being able to cope with making mistakes? I have a meltdown and an anxiety attack when I make even the smallest error. I struggle to work after as I have butterflies in my stomach and feel awful. Obviously the solution is to not make mistakes and I’m sure as I become more senior (I’m currently 4pqe) this will become easier. I try to rationalise the mistake in my head (as an example, I’m acting for the sub lenders and I argued
