I have my grad degree already and teaches at a college, but has been thinking of taking the LSAT and try to get into law school. I really want to start doing either legal aid or guardianship, but the goal is to eventually be able to work as a prosecutor. I’ve been taking LSAT practice exams without prep and I’ve honestly been getting almost perfect scores, and I’ve always thought of going to law school. But just wasn’t sure 100% back then.

My husband is a state trooper and just wondering if this might affect our marriage negatively? We currently have a really good marriage, so I’m thinking that this shouldn’t be an issue at all. But wants to see if anyone has insight into this, especially if you have first/hand experience or know someone in the same position.

For context we have two kids and currently my work is very flexible, so it’s almost like I’m a SAHM. But if I go to law school that will obviously need to change, since I won’t be able to care for them full time while in school.

I’m currently pregnant, early in my second trimester. As my mom and I were talking tonight, out of nowhere she commented… “Lalaki siguro ulit magiging anak mo, kasi pumanget ka na.” And then after a few minutes said again…”Lumalapad na yung likod mo,” then calls to my aunt in the kitchen just to validate her comment.. “Diba noh \*insert my aunt’s name here\* ang lapad na ng likod nya noh?”

I just had a baby a little over a year ago, and I’m obviously currently pregnant with my next one. So idk why she would say that to me. This is not the first time too, right after I just literally gave birth with my first, she told me how fat I have gotten 😭 My hormones were everywhere, I was still bleeding from giving birth, I have no sleep and still struggling breastfeeding… and she would comment on how fat I look. I don’t understand if this is a filipino mom thing to do, like is this normal or is it just my mom?

I normally have a tough skin, but these comments since I had my baby and now being pregnant again really hurts me. Not sure if me being pregnant makes me more sensitive than usual but it really stings.

I have so many things I want to learn, I have always loved learning and I enjoy reading too. However, since becoming a mom, I feel tired quite often. I’m not complaining because I love my babies, I just don’t know how other moms have so much energy. Any advice?

I see a lot of hate on the internet over police officers, usually from people who don’t understand the job. No matter what you do they analyze every little thing and always has something to complain about.

I have an idea on how hard it is to get into police academy. Many have tried and failed. But it makes me wonder what made you want to do it and kept you going? I see a lot of insults and just heartbreaking comments from many people online towards cops. I even see YT channels dedicated to hating cops. Personally that alone would probably make me not want to be in that profession, praise God not everyone thinks like me though otherwise we won’t have cops that would serve the community.
