Ask Amy: I made a big decision, and people question me about it incessantly

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 23:22:52 GMT

Dear Amy: I retired at 62 and consider the ability to do so a blessing.In the lead-up to this momentous event, I alerted family and friends of my decision, which yielded a barrage of unsolicited warnings that my body would wither and my brain turn to an inoperative mush.Now that I am retired and living in a new community, I am questioned incessantly by apparently well-meaning people about what I do all day, as if enjoying my leisure is a crime.In fact, I am researching my genealogy, reading, investing, catching up remotely on long-neglected relationships, and enjoying the life I worked 40 years to afford.In truth, I don’t need to explain myself to anyone, but apparently some justification is expected.Have you any insights on how to approach these invasive comments?– Life Is GoodDear Life is Good: It’s possible that people are asking you how you spend your time not to accuse you of the crime of enjoying your leisure (how dare you!), but because they’re genuinely curious.The kindest r...

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 23:22:52 GMT

DEAR HARRIETTE: I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, which should have been a moment of pure joy and excitement. Unfortunately, my husband’s mother had other plans.Despite my wishes, my mother-in-law insisted on being in the delivery room during the birth of our child. This was not a decision that my husband and I had discussed beforehand, and I was caught completely off guard. I did not want her there.To make matters worse, my husband did not stick up for me when I expressed my discomfort and asked for his mother to leave the room. He simply brushed off my concerns and said that his mother was excited to be a part of the experience.I was left feeling unsupported and violated during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life.How do I move forward with my husband and mother-in-law? We haven’t discussed the situation since, and it’s been almost a month. — New MomRelated ArticlesAdvice | Harriette Cole: It’s embarrassing when peopl...

Joe Manchin Rents Office Space to Firm Powering FBI, Pentagon Biometric Surveillance Center

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 23:22:52 GMT

After killing Joe Biden’s audacious Build Back Better legislation in 2021 and emerging as a constant roadblock to Democrats’ sweeping climate agenda, Sen. Joe Manchin’s sprawling coal empire became the focus of intense scrutiny for its impact on the citizens and ecosystem of northern West Virginia. What went unnoticed at the time was another company the senator is quietly profiting off of, housed in the very same building where his coal company Enersystems is headquartered, with an even greater reach.Manchin has said in recent weeks that he won’t rule out running to replace Biden in the 2024 presidential election. He maintains a cozy relationship with the moderate political nonprofit No Labels, which has raised tens of millions of dollars to run a third-party presidential ticket in 2024, and he himself has raised millions from special interest groups cheering on his intransigence. But while Manchin has long cultivated the image of a liberty-loving champion, his financial ties ...
