I am an immigrant and I have not seen that at all. What I see is the republicans hating the immigrants because most of us are Latinos. That is what I clearly see.

It does not sound good that you are not excited about getting married. When I got married I was so excited that I thought I would not mind if my dress were accidentally ruined or my make up ran or whatever. I was so excited just to be married to my guy :). Yeah the infatuation feelings fade but it so helps to remind…

It was around a month of dating when I told my now husband that I was not seeing anyone else. He was thrilled and told me he wasn’t either and he was only waiting to have that conversation because I had just started a job in banking with lost of social events and he was wondering if I wanted to take advantage of that…

I am so glad you reported this behavior. I hope HR listens to you. I once had a boss call me to her office because I had been helping my family take care of my grandpa after he had a massive heart attack. No other adult in my family spoke English at the time and they do not have enough education to understand terms…

Good luck this month! Do not get too caught up on whether the timing is good for your job since it can put extra pressure you don’t need. You can always not try for a couple of months and then try again :). 

Are you a parent? because that is what many have to do to be able to feed their kids. I do not blame them as much as I blame this country with barely any parental leave, daycare subsidies, pre-k classes, high college tuition, etc.

That’s amazing too.

This is so painful to consider. 

Thanks. I think that seeing this description of our mental state and a validation of our feelings helps me. I have undocumented relatives and I am a naturalized citizen. Part of my family are still in Mexico. They have visas to visit but we always fear they could lose them or could get harassed at the border. When I…

No wonder you are not ready to move on yet. Take it easy. I hope you feel emotionally better soon.

Another word I did not know! I of course use that word but did not know the meaning. I love languages too. My husband studied Latin for years (though latin can be useful in learning other languages). I live in the US and I am so stoked that I just found a small Nahuatl speaking community in our city. They are an…

This all happened in the last month? I do not know if there is any other way you can help your ex-fiancee. I agree that it may be time to move on but of course it’s hard, so many changes at once. 

Immigration bureaucracies suck. I hear you. Good luck!

Hug to you! I hope next month is the month. I know that it can be heartbreaking every month. My best advice is to focus on the next month and try not to get ahead of yourself. I used to start thinking it was never going to happen, that there was something deeply wrong with us, etc. I got pregnant for the first time on…

We need to do something to change this BS that FMLA is only 12weeks. If you know of any organization that is working on this let me know. We need to organize and make this a priority if we don’t do this nobody will.

mmmh that’s not an easy decision. You need to do the math my friend. You need to figure out how much you need to save a year for college and account for your mortgage if you have one plus your debt payments and don’t forget retirement savings. It will basically come down to that when one has kids.

I learned that old=huehue in Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs). I am trying to get a Nahuatl teacher for my kids. I am a Mexican immigrant but I do not speak Nahuatl. My friends think I am silly but I think it would be cool if my whole family including my white husband learns Nahuatl just for fun. I was inquiring…

Do a mix. Apply to jobs on job boards every day and try to network. Some people swear by one or the other. I have gotten jobs using both. Now, when you apply without having someone having referred you use the terms in the job posting in your resume and cover letter. It may sound fairly silly to say: I leverage my…

No no be civil! Civility before anything.

So you are advocating for cuts to defense so we can pay for education and healthcare? You sound a lot like a democrat honey ;) you just do not know it yet.
