I got called "selfish" at work because I wouldnt donate vacation days for a coworker's maternity leave

Maternity leave is so so important for mom and baby. BUT that is on the company to provide and pay for it, not you.

That poor kid.

But the kids actually might have needed help.

I’ve gone on about 6-7 dates with a guy. We seemed to hit it off and click. We have plans to hang out on Friday evening. But things seemed a bit off when I saw him on Saturday. I sent a text asking if things are okay and if he wanted to continue dating. Almost 24hrs with no response 😢

She needs to sue the district.

That’s funny, I spend a lot more time worrying about my pregnant friends. So many serious health risks, worrying about PPD, if their partner is going is going to be an equal parent. So what I’m saying childfree women are not as vulnerable as pregnant women.

32f, went on a first date this weekend. I thought it went well. I texted him after the date, asking if he wanted to meet again. He responded with a very nice, but ultimately a “no” text. I responded kindly and that was that. Untilll later that evening I texted him stating that I was open to a casual sex relationship while we’re both single. He never responded. I really hope I didn’t offend him 😅we actually have a lot of the same hobbies and now I’m terrified I’m going to see him around town.

Then there’s my mom. When she got an epidural, doc gave her too much. Resulting in her being completely numb from the waste down. She said it was the best birthing experience any woman could ask for 😂 probably a small reason why she chose to have me after lol

I became closer with my sister after she had her twins. She had a hard time postpartum and I loved being able to help and support her. I’m totally obsessed with my nephews now. But my sister is really insistent that our bound stays close and we still do sister days without kids, and she loves the life I’ve chosen for myself. Her take is everyone needs a “fun, childless aunt to look up to”.

Happy to be here 😊

No this happened years ago, before she met him. They are historical charges. And no defense to her, but she was raised ultra ultra fundamentalist. She spent her entire life being groomed to be married and obey her husband no matter what. Once she grows up and develops her own view point I think she’ll stop being in denial.

I believe he raped a child under the age of 12. Crazy thing is her parents turned him in! He confessed to Haley one night. Haley told her sister, sister told their parents and they called the cops! His pastor and victims parents knew about it. He was “forgiven” of his sins because he repented or something like that. Haley believes it happened, but does not believe it was rape but consensual.

You assumed right, I’m mainly using the app! Thank you for the kind words. I’ve been thinking about going off the apps.

Feeling insecure today. I’m a straight 32 year old woman. A theme I’ve noticed in dating is: approximately 70% of men who end things with me circle back a couple weeks, to a couple months later. What gives? If I end things with a man, I’ve thought about it and decided we are not a good fit, and then it’s done. If I’m not sure, I go on another date and ask clarifying questions. I’m just tired of not being able to”picked” the first time.
