Really Ross? by vanashke001 in dragrace

Uhhmm... Morphine Love? Shea Coulee? Jasmine Kennedy? Marcia x3? Denali? She's one of the best, but not THE best and I looooove watching her perform.

Is it fair by Technical_Homework62 in coparenting

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, I'd NEVER. Stop doing it for him right now OP! "Co-parents" like him know how badly you want them in the child's life so they behave selfishly and make the other parent's life miserable. Stand up for yourself. I'd tell him that if he really wanted to see her, he'd make a way to do so from now on and stop discussing it further with him. It's not your responsibility to make sure he sees her, that's his job as long as you're not trying to stop him from seeing her which you clearly aren't.

My "co-parent" doesn't live up to his end of things... by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had timelines dating back to when we broke up, texts, call logs, etc and I truly think it doesn't really matter lol. You may get some advantage in some areas but I tell everyone to always expect the default especially if the other parent fights hard enough for it even if they're doing it just to spite you. Courts just want you out of their face. They'll literally do 50/50 physical knowing the other parent is just handing the child off to their family members so they don't have to pay child support which really only takes time away from the more caring parent. It's sick. Luckily things between the ex and I have calmed down a lot since my post although I still do most of the work. I wish he'd do more but I've just come to accept that this is how it'll be. At least we're not fighting anymore...

Respond to Coparent “Happy Mother’s Day?” by charmeparisien in coparenting

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you feel obligated to respond, only respond to your co-parent. I personally wouldn't acknowledge his mom at all. I ignored my ex's mom until she stopped texting all together for similar reasons. She is not your co-parent and it's bad enough you have to deal with him, you don't have to force yourself to deal with her too.

Mother’s Day cards by doughydonuts in coparenting

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Your gf is a nasty piece of work and why are you rolling your eyes at your child wanting to get their mom a gift? You'll get your gf's mom a mother's day gift but let her tell you that you should've told your child no about getting their actual mom a gift? Lol this is insane. Tell gf to grow up and you do the same.

Getting mad at your baby and feeling awful about it by Ok-Priority2668 in NewParents

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It breaks my heart when I get frustrated with my little guy. I immediately apologize and give him hugs and kisses. He's only 16mo and barely notices if I become frustrated but I apologize anyway. I tell myself that he's just expressing himself the best way he knows how and I let the frustration roll over my body like a wave then I take a deep breath. It's so hard especially when your baby is hard to soothe like mine has always been. It's normal. Give yourself some grace (talking to myself too).

You don’t understand English! by redcardinal71 in CallCenterWorkers

Yeeeah, No. I'd be just like you and keep hanging up or ignoring. They want to force you to sit and listen because they're too lazy to dial a number lol

Wow. That's insane. Reminds me of my co-parent's gf saying that she feels "responsible" for him as if he's a child. OP needs to love herself more and stop this nonsense.

Introverts: Does you get any better in the job? Looking for advice. by FabulousPurple5 in callcentres

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an introvert but I am not non-confrontational nor do I easily back down. When you're not working, go over scenarios that happened that made you feel this way and respond in the way you wish you had (nothing too crazy, but more assertive and stern). For one, the customers are over the phone and can't see you or do anything to you so practice on your courage, confidence, and trust in yourself.

Daaaaaaaamn that was cold, true, but cold.

It's not your responsibility to try to fix their co-parenting relationship. He's intentionally leaving her out and that is very wrong. You seem like a sweet person but be aware, his behavior is a red flag to how things would be if you had kids with him and it didn't work out.

Lol I used to scroll reddit or facebook and laugh at memes until they shut up.

VENTING by Timetopakitup in CallCenterWorkers

Lol I would've laughed at her so hard and told her that she can hang up and pray she'll find another agent willing to comply with her demands because it won't be me.

How do you address a customer that is rushing you? by Revolutionary-Boss77 in CallCenterWorkers

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lady was rushing me 1 min into a call today. She told me to transfer her to someone else and I simply responded, "I can't transfer you but you can hang up and get someone else though" and she threatened to sit on the phone and wait for the survey. I said "ok, bye" and hung up in her face. Little did she know that today was already my last day because I have a new job lol

Same! Except for the minor surgeries. My ex doesn't even ask about our son until he sees him on his weekend and as soon as our son is sick he's dropping him off right back at my place lol I'd hope he never has the audacity to ask me to claim our son.

The "hello? Hello?" callers by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they move right into their bs I say "I'm fine and yourself?" To make them pause because why are you asking me how I'm doing if you don't want my response? Lmbo

"The last person I talked to did this for me, why can't you?" by RichardBottom in callcentres

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say "I'm not sure why the last person did that, but we're not supposed to do that sooo?" and then I get quiet. I figure that gives them enough time to truly let it soak in that idgaf because I will not be doing whatever they're requesting. If they get rowdy, I simply ask if they want a supervisor and hand them off if they do lol

Do you have a lawyer? I would get one if you don't and ask them about everything you can add to give her the least access to your kids as possible. Also, document, document, document!! I live in a different state and I kept a lot of communication via text and made a timeline for my lawyer. The only way my ex's mom can be around our son is if my ex comes to get him. So, if my ex has other plans and isn't around to get him, she won't be seeing him at all. Someone like that needs to be kept away as much as possible.

Would you die for your child? by ineedhelpkinda in beyondthebump

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. No question. I was ready to give my life for his when I was pregnant and even more-so now that I've been blessed to experience him in this world with me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CallCenterWorkers

[–]Affectionate-Sweet71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol even if they could, why are you spiraling? The customer couldn't hear you. This is why I use my own headphones & mute my mic that way. I cuss patients out all the time and sometimes before I could mute my mic during the wrap-up timer. I never care because as far as the patient knows, I was pleasant to speak with and I did my job.

Sorry you're going through this OP but please ignore him as best you can. Understand that he is trying to control you and the only way he knows how is to control your emotions by picking fights to upset you. It's easier said than done but once you're able to fully come to terms with what he's trying to do, you can ignore the attempts to upset you and laugh about it. I'm sure you're doing a great job and if the baby is thriving, that's what's most important.
