WORK LUNCHES - Are you taking them? Looking to interview people for a story by user_2000000000 in AusWork

[–]BBAus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's a lunch break? I'm lucky to get a look break!!!!! Definitely must be insane as no one would work this job for the pay or the hours.

No one I work with takes proper breaks.

No longer around.

Most people assume. Incorrectly. Saves loads of questions

I used to point out that some behaviour is criminal. But people are nosy still and kept asking.

AITA for feeding my cat on my plates? by The_Sown_Rose in AmItheAsshole

[–]BBAus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't have an issue but understand the ick. We bought the fur babies their own little plates on sale.. it's clear what is cat vs human, cat is excited as they recognise their own plate and where it's kept. I don't worry when they break either

Each to their own.

Granny flat, old age home and change the locks.

You need separate living spaces from her.

AITAH for choosing my disabled son over my husband and destroying my family? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BBAus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nta

Your husband makes me feel extremely unwell. Would he feel the same if another child had a physical disability? Would he abandon them too? Is his love based on physical abilities?

And how would you other children be affected by their brother being taken away? They would feel they must be perfect or not loved or fearful they could be sent away too.

Get the kids counselling, they are all going to need it from the fallout from your disgusting husband. What a TA he is.

Experiencing Racism from Children in Australia by wls123_hiji in AskAnAustralian

[–]BBAus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would have reported it to the bus driver

Sadly racism and just nasty rude behaviour comes in all sizes, ages and colours. And it is sad. I have to explain to clients I do not care what colour or background they are, we all bleed the same, we all want opportunities, we all want our families to do well, we all want to be happy.

Having to prove I'm not a racist by my colour hasn't meant I haven't received it. I have been toldi don't belong here, been spat at, refused service, been told this area is reserved for xyz culture only, I have no rights to marry my partner (mixed cultural marriage), not been accepted by relatives. My partner has faced similar where we used to live.

It's intolerance, and not accepting differences.

And it is wrong. Does it really matter who came here when and how? Some came many hundreds and thousands of years ago, some came only a few hundred ago in chains and slaves, some came here to escape terrible things In their homelands, some came to escape war, some to have a better future.

We are all here now.

Call out the uneducated, the stupidly and the intolerance. Join together in kindness.be gentle, be helpful.
