How do I become a morning person? Getting a kid seems like the only option, and that's not happening for 1 million reasons.

Don't sleep at night. No morning blues

I was a night owl in college and work forced the change. Also realized I can be more productive if I'm not sleeping in till noon on weekends. Gotta maximize that time for gym and brunch. What's your motivation for converting? If you don't need to, then why change? If you do need to for some reason, there's your motivation.

Just change your schedule. It sucks, but you'll get used to it!

I've been dealing with this for years. Finally falling asleep. I can write more later if you'd like

I noticed how the only consistent "morning people" are those with kids. Work doesn't force me to it. Yeah. Maybe when I get one!

Few weeks of adjusting your schedule, I am a morning person but it's my natural set point. When I stopped fighting it I felt much better about everything. Set reminders on your phone to go to bed and then stick to an alarm for a few weeks even on the weekend. After a bit you don't even need it anymore.

Pretend you're in another time zone.

From a personality, values & looks perspective, the new girlfriend is what every guy would dream of. Im jealous &wish I could date her instead

I am planning to leave him but I am hesitant because I am afraid this would negatively impact my son more, not having a father figure around much.... not the first time, my husband promises multiple time that at least he would control his anger in front of kid but never Lee up the promise...sometimes he would even throw stuff (not at me and my child)...

Question for moms. I’m getting married next year and have several close family members that will have babies ages 8-11 months old by then. What are some ways I can support the moms and make it an enjoyable experience for them? We have a separate room at the venue that I was thinking could be offered to the parents to use, or potentially hiring a babysitter for them (either at the venue or back at the hotel). I would love for the families to be able to come, as it is out of town.

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?
