Have been communicating about interviewing for an open position via email. The hiring manager first responds at 9pm. I respond the next morning with availability for an interview. They don't respond the next day, so the following day I follow up. They don't respond that day or the next (yesterday), but then just replied at 10pm setting an interview time. J was annoyed that the communication was so delayed. And I was even more annoyed that I kept being emailed late at night. Is this a sign I don't want to work for them?

Could be, but definitely go for an interview and feel it out. You never know what people have going on( their reasoning for late responses)

What type of job are you applying for?
Some context on that might help determine if this is something that would effect your day to day at work.

Depends on the job you applied for. If the job requires them to work late/not a Monday-Friday 9-5, you could’ve caught them on their Friday and then the response wasn’t for a few days because it was their weekend. When you go for the interview make sure to ask them questions to see if you find any red flags. Remember you may be interviewing to get a job there but you should also see it as an interview from you to them to make sure it’s the right fit on both sides.

Sounds like a sign, not a red flag. If this is a value you don't want to shift on that totally fair. Go with what aligns with you and feels right.
Also, the hiring manager isn't necessarily who you will be working with/for. (Unless you've already confirmed they are) If you're worried about being contacted outside working hours when you actually have the job I'd ask them questions in the interview about whether those values are aligned.
Personally, I just don't bring my work emails home. They're not on my phone so I can't be contacted outside work. They can email me any time of night but I wouldn't be expected to read it or respond until morning. Right now is probably annoying because they only have your personal email

It really depends on the job type and working hours that go with that, not just your available hours etc. In some fields it would be perfectly normal for the hours theyre replying to be part of their working hours or potentially the end of a working day and depending on the field they may not get much free time when working to handle paperwork and do so when they can within their working day. If that doesn't align with what you want then that's fine of course but whether it's a red flag needs more context

I think that’s fairly normal. I’ve had similar experiences. People are busy and interviews aren’t always their top priority. Go for the interview and see how you feel!

Is the hiring manager for sure located in your same time zone?

Being emailed late at night is better than not being emailed at all, at night may be the only time they are able to get this admin side of things done
When I was hiring for a retail role sometimes I would have to correspond via email at 8/9pm at night otherwise I never would be able to

I'm at the start of my third trimester and without being too crude, I have had liquid stools for the last 4/5 days. I mentioned it to the midwife a few days ago and she appeared to be surprised and said if it continued to contact my GP or a midwife, at this point it had been happening for 2 days minimum. Is this normal?

We had a reassurance scan today, expecting to be between 5w4d and 5w6d, and just hoping to see a yolk sac. Instead, we saw a heartbeat and a baby measuring 6w3d 😭 It's been a difficult journey, but I am so, so grateful for this little life, who will hopefully be the one to complete our family ❤️

I’m currently 7 weeks PP and the wee one has been going through his 6-8 week crisis so I’m extra tired but the last couple of nights I’ve started having horribly and extremely vivid nightmares all related to baby - to the point I will wake up talking or crying or doing sudden movements. Anyone experienced something similar? Tonight I didn’t even remember falling asleep in between feeds and almost thought I had woken the baby up from how badly I jerked

Our little girl has a middle name - Hartley Rose Layton (Layton - surname) but I do regret it a bit as sometimes people assume she’s hyphenated Hartley-Rose 🫠🫠 instead of just Hartley! Anyway… my husband is now very against giving baby 2 a middle name. Says her name (Holliday Layton) is enough but I feel like we gave her sister a middle name so we should give her one too. I don’t have a middle name at all and always wanted one - just doesn’t feel right to do one for one but not the other! I’ve proposed female variants of our dads’ names (Bobbie and Stevie) or Marlowe which was number 2 on our list but he’s a very stubborn man!
Any thoughts on this would be helpful!
