I see couples who are clearly struggling with one child yet they have another one. Why do you think they do that?
I, myself, am childless and I’ll never understand this. Now granted, the phrase “There is no perfect time to have a kid” does hold some weight here, however if your first child is sinking the ship maybe it’s best to take some precautions.

I work in a very competitive sales field. How do I stop comparing my career to the people around me?
We all do this. It’s really the only way to gauge where you are and where you wanna be. The trick is to not let it beat you down. Set realistic goals, tick them off the list. If you still feel unfulfilled just remember that climate change is destroying the planet and none of us are going to make it out of here and whatever you’re selling is probably contributing to it.

Best food to bring on a road trip?
