I recently got a new job that came with a 30% hike in salary and I was thrilled. However, now that I’m here, I can’t help but feel… bored. I don’t have as many responsibilities as I thought I would. Is it weird to ask for more work? Will it seem like I’m just trying to suck up to my boss since I’m still relatively new?

Why didn’t Schumer try to get an abortion bill through that mimicked what existed already rather than expanding it? Strategically I don’t understand the move.

Anyone have tips on actually “stopping the grind”? I’m in my second trimester of a high risk pregnancy and on busy clients until I’m due. (Senior Associate).

If I don’t stay up until al hours of the night, I won’t be able to get all my allocation done.. I’m stuck.

Ok moms, real talk. How do you get motivated and stay disciplined to lose weight and stay fit? All my life I have been naturally skinny but then I had kids.

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 teenage son is a freshman in high school. He's constantly stressed and anxious even though he's performing extremely well in classes. He's constantly saying he hates everything and is always tired. I've been trying to get him to sleep by 1130 latest and had him download a mindfulness app but he doesn't seem to stick to anything and continues with the negativity. Any tips on how to push through? I'm considering having him set up time with his school counselor but I'm not sure what else to do
