Birthdays with twins can’t be easy. Parents of multiples face the question of whether to have a combined birthday party or two separate occasions.

Gen Zer shows up to job interview in short shorts, refuses to go home and change when they offer for her to: ‘They decided to reschedule the interview with me for tomorrow’
It can be difficult to gauge the formality of an office environment. If you work on Wall Street, it’s pretty easy to figure out that you’re going to have to wear a suit 52 weeks out of the year, but what about the rest of us? If you have a nondescript office job, the formality …
