She says the discussion over PTO was likely a sign she and the new company weren't a good fit. Carpineto views the PTO conversation as bigger than having a few extra vacation days: "It sets a precedent for what the company values and what they value for their employees.

We adopted two boys at the age of 3 and 2, and despite knowing more, it was still hard. My husband had never been married or had children, so we adopted two little boys. Most were childless or had older kids long past the "Mickey Mouse Club House" and day care struggles season of life. When my kids were little, things like bending over to give them baths made me realize that although I might feel young, my back said otherwise. However, my decision to have more kids a little later in life, while maybe unconventional, was the best decision.

“Extreme” used to be an ugly word in politics; was it anymore? Abortion used to be a voting issue for Americans who favored reproductive rights and ones who opposed abortion; had that changed? In our latest Times Opinion focus group, we explored these questions with 14 Trump voters — mostly Republicans and independents who shared these views — and also asked them to look forward: What do they want Mr. Trump to do in office? Anger at inflation and illegal immigration brought a lot of different people to Mr. Trump, the participants argued. They said they were tired of being criticized for holding conservative or contrary opinions and thought a lot of other Americans were, too.
