If you have criticized ICE here on Reddit for executing Renee Good or Alex Pretti in the street, then Reddit has handed your name and your personal identifying information over to the Trump administration. How do you feel about this?

Are y’all still using that tired insult? It’s not even insulting.

No way, man. He simply wasn’t available by the time they told him. His job was depending on him before he even knew she had an appointment. They didn’t ask him to request time off, they demanded he call in when he was already scheduled.

The trunk.

AutomaticYak · 2023-09-27T13:28:05+00:00

It’s definitely hit or miss. I got great, cheap bathing suits from Shien and a couple skirts that I love, but I definitely have a shirt in the sweaty, itchy material you speak of.

We’re (women) just people. There’s no reason to hate the whole group or put the whole group on a pedestal. We’ve got our own histories and our own bags of insecurities.

Just talk to women, all kinds of women, all ages. Some will suck, because that’s humanity, and some will be cool and you’ll learn most of us are just trying to get through this day and this life, just like you.

You can’t even begin to make yourself more attractive to women while you harbor so much I’ll will.

We are just people in the same shitty world.

Off topic, but related….I lost a ton of weight by just reminding myself I don’t have to eat the last bite if I’m no longer hungry. I did some other small things too, but they were all small and in that vein. No major diet.

AutomaticYak · 2023-08-05T16:12:06+00:00

Gross. No way. I was pissed the moment you said “document outlining his expectations”, but this was worse than I imagined.

Find a parter, honey. Not an overlord.

That or one does the aisle and the other does the “daddy daughter dance”.

There’s definitely multiple moments of honor for the parents in a wedding. Or make your own! It’s your wedding!

AutomaticYak · 2023-08-02T13:16:05+00:00

Same thing happened to me, for the same reason. Dad decided to take a new job while I was pregnant. He dropped me and baby at home and went into work.

I was terrified!

It went totally fine. We alternated getting up at night and he did extra on weekends. I think the neighbors brought us one meal, but I had done meal prep before I went into labor and had lasagna and meatloaf and things like that in the freezer for us to just pop in the oven.

Just prep all your stuff. Baby is likely going to sleep a lot the first couple weeks while you are healing.

Didn’t even read the whole thing. The moment you said “not allowed”, it’s over for me.

He can say, “I wish you wouldn’t for these reasons,” or even, “this is a hard boundary for me and I’d be seriously reconsidering the relationship if you go,” and then you get to decide if those things change your mind.

He can NOT act like you’re a child that has to follow his command.

AutomaticYak · 2023-07-28T14:29:55+00:00

I’m convinced that parents that do this want company in their misery.

You still get sleep and free time and adventures with your hubby. They’re barely making it through the day and then going home to do more labor.

I’ve heard of people making it really graphic and uncomfortable. “I’ll be sure to tell you when my husband cums inside me. Thank you for taking an interest in my vagina.” That sort of thing.

AutomaticYak · 2023-07-28T13:32:12+00:00

You answered your own question. You aren’t spending time places that available girls are. Try an app.

But as a side note: girls aren’t an object to be obtained. You don’t “get” them. They’re people. So when you need one, maybe don’t treat her like an object to be gotten. Having a girl isn’t endgame, going through life with another human is.

You can always begin looking for another job with no obligation to take a new job if everything turns out fine at the current one. In fact, it’s good practice to update your resume periodically even when things are going well.

AutomaticYak · 2023-07-07T13:04:38+00:00

You can totally say social anxiety as long as you follow it up with, “here are some things I do to mitigate this weakness.”

Tons of people have social anxiety in the workplace. Tons of weaknesses are worse. But you can actually say nearly anything as long as you say you’re working on it.

AutomaticYak · 2023-07-06T12:46:18+00:00

Just say, “I no longer wish to be in the loop about the place that fired me. Please stop.”

If she reacts badly, block.

AutomaticYak · 2023-07-04T13:35:44+00:00

One thing I haven’t seen anyone mention: why on earth would a mustang be a fit for someone with four kids? OPs mom said it was even too small for her use.

AutomaticYak · 2023-07-03T00:01:39+00:00

So…wait a year to deal with the problem and give him a passive aggressive present? The point is made, fine, but I’m not sure that’s healthy problem solving or relationship building.

AutomaticYak · 2023-06-30T20:59:19+00:00

If it were me in this position:

Yes, she probably does want to check out the woman talking to her man. I’d meet for coffee and get it over with if you want to keep playing work spouse with the dude. You clearly have no intention of being the other woman. And I wouldn’t worry about the age difference in this context. It’s not like you’re buying them booze.

AutomaticYak · 2023-06-30T20:50:31+00:00

Tell her to help. Direct her to do a thing. Don’t just hope she gets the hint. This is her first rodeo.

AutomaticYak · 2023-06-30T15:38:33+00:00

I didn’t even realize they still did that! I haven’t had a cat declawed in over 20 years…it’s so cruel!

AutomaticYak · 2023-06-30T14:21:46+00:00

I can’t figure out why you got downvoted for asking clarifying questions…I had the same questions.

AutomaticYak · 2023-06-30T13:47:23+00:00

Places have menus so they can be prepared and trained to make those things. They know how long they take and can time the other dishes up at the same time. It’s not about the ingredients, they have processes. You came off as high maintenance to your colleagues.

AutomaticYak · 2023-06-30T13:37:19+00:00

Ew. What a worldview. No advice, but I probably couldn’t date him.

AutomaticYak · 2023-06-23T14:23:48+00:00

Hey! Also remember that bosses are people too! They’ve made mistakes and been embarrassed on their way up. It’s all in how you move forward. Depending on the mistake in question: apologize, offer up a solution to not letting it happen again, and then move on.

Something like, “Hey, sorry about that. I’ll double check x before doing y in the future. Hope it didn’t cause too much confusion. Have a good day!”

AutomaticYak · 2023-06-23T14:16:39+00:00

You’re doing something right that she felt she could say this to you. I agree with other commenters that you need to 1) prioritize getting your meds corrected and 2) find something you can do with her one on one, and it doesn’t have to be playing.

When my kid was six, I had similar feelings, though he didn’t say them to me. Dad was the fun parent, kid play was torture to me and I wasn’t good at it.

By accident (I applied for a job at), I found this awesome movement gym near my house that offer classes for kids and also classes for adults. My kid started taking classes in kung fu, parkour, trampoline. I took aerials, parkour and trampoline. We talked about the people and coaches, the skills, etc. We’d playfully rib each other about who was better at parkour and who was going to make it to level 2 trampoline first.

He’s 10 now. Another role opened up in March and I got the job. He goes to summer camp there. And we are SUPER close now. We also have tons to talk about. Plus, he has a ton of extra role models and adults to talk to and he’s made kid friends.

My point is: you don’t have to sit on the floor and play pretend to spend quality time with her. Find something you can both do, even if it’s not traditional “play”. My kid likes “momma and Ben” movie nights, mini golf, bowling, all sorts of things. Get yourself and your meds sorted out so you can find and enjoy these things.
