Personally, I learned that I stay too long in bad work environments... Maybe because we put too much emphasis on how long someone stays in one place? It took me way too long to realize that I need to be interviewing the company that wants me to work there. And if they don't meet their commitments in fair time period, it's time to move on. It's like regret aversion for the investment of our time.... Just move on.

My two young toddlers are home from daycare for the next 1.5 weeks for the holidays, and I have off work to watch them. It’s only been 2 days, and I’m so exhausted that I’m counting down the days until I go back to work and they are in daycare. Does anyone have any tips for enjoying this time?

Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.
