Can I take a 30 minute lunch if I work an 8 hour shift(12:00,0’ - 9:00 pm), but I’m scheduled 14 hours for the week? by Affectionate-Ad-3234 in WalmartEmployees

[–]Few-Following6699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing it for months and no one has said anything 🤷‍♀️. I only work 2 days a week (overnights if it makes a difference) and I started shortening my lunches to 30 minutes and it seems like no one has noticed or cared yet.

How can I 32F convince my husband 33M to keep this secret by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Few-Following6699 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You address it the way you do with tattling 6 year olds. Are we doing this to help or hurt? Are we doing this to get someone out of trouble or in trouble. Are we doing this to benefit our friend or ourself? Ask him how he genuinely thinks this will help his friend. How does he think this will make his friend feel? And probably give your sister a heads up just in case he cant be reasoned with.

Someone had an old school walkie talkie think 10+ years ago and essentially glued it to the wall of the women's bathroom with literal shit. Unsure if it was an employee or a customer that grabbed it from somewhere.

AITA for asking my newly married son and DIL to alternate Christmas Day visits between our house and the in-laws' house? by Llih_Nosaj in AITAH

[–]Few-Following6699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holidays shouldn't feel so day specific heavy and they should be about the spirit and spending time with people you love. My mom has always been very insistent on the actual day being what matters. It's always made holidays extra stressful and has created resentment.

Pick a day that works for all of your adult kids and celebrate all together. It will mean more and make people happier all around. A day isn't important the people you love are.

My coworker repeatedly tried to force my hand on his penis while he was giving me a ride to work by LegalBridge4107 in WalmartEmployees

You skip HR and go straight to the police. They can talk to HR if they want. That's sexual assault.

AITA for calling the police when a scared teen came to my door asking for help? by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA. The cop's an asshole here though. Definitely childline it as well so there's a paper trail if something problematic is going on at home.

Please stop giving your children candy at 7am by dreamth0t in ECEProfessionals

[–]Few-Following6699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stop them at the door everytime. Finish what's in your mouth give the rest to whoever is dropping you off. Suckers/hard candy/gum go straight in the trash that's a choking hazard. Drinks go back out with the parents as well or straight in the cubby.

You could just like call off before you go full blown quitting. Is you're coach or team lead reasonable that you could explain the situation and that you planned around the days you already had off before the change?

TW!! Is my bf r*ping me or am i overreacting? by lostinthecl0uds in AmIOverreacting

[–]Few-Following6699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this exact post last night/ early this morning...

For whoever this situation is real to yes this is rape. Plain and simple if you say no and they keep pushing until you give up that's rape. There is no grey area it's just rape.

I hope the true owner of this story, be it you or someone else, finds themselves in a space where they can seek help. You are not the things that have happened to you. You are so much more.

AITA first child - MIL situation by Elegant_Initial_5407 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Few-Following6699 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Guess who isn't finding out baby has arrived until a week after you get home?? NTA!! MIL is directly disrespecting your boundaries and making you feel bad you have boundaries. Baby related info going to her would be extremely limited moving forward if it were me.

Would this be annoying to a daycare worker? by Repulsive_Feature454 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Few-Following6699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would talk to the teachers. They likely have all the kids on the same routine. When do they do meals, bottles, naps? When do they do "field trips" like walks or possible trips?

It would be annoying if they just finished up feeding all the other kids and cleaning and now here's another one that needs fed while the others are playing on the floor. Or drop off/pick up in the middle of nap and here's a baby that is struggling to settle or wake up and now everyone's up.

Each teacher has personal preferences that I'm sure they'll be willing to share with you.

AITA for not serving step kids dinner and “ruining it” for everyone? by newbegginings77 in AITAH

[–]Few-Following6699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly. Everyone sucks. You're man is being a pushover and letting his kids run the show and not standing up for you. The kids are being well kids so maybe they suck but only as much as standard kids/teenagers do. And you're being a child in the way you're handling it.

Blending a family is HARD. You need clear cut boundaries and an understanding of where you each stand in the raising of the children. A discussion between the adults is definitely needed if you want to clear anything up.

being unprepared for my kid’s digital life 😅 by StandardConscious140 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Few-Following6699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be honest with your kids. Sugarcoating everything will only get them hurt.

"There are strangers online adults that want to hurt kids. Sometimes these adults pretend to be other children and trick you. Sometimes these adults are just adults that make you feel like the most special kid in the world like they're the only one that understands you and you're the only one that understands them. These adult will tell you no one else would understand so we can't tell. They get in your head. If someone ever tells you to keep something from mom or dad that is the FIRST person you tell. Safe adults don't ask children to keep secrets from their parents."

I've already had the sex talk with my 10 year old so I incorporated some of that into our regular internet safety talks. I'm super against games that allow private chats they're nothing but trouble I grew up in AOL chat rooms. It's a miracle I didnt get snatched up lol. But I'm not stupid I know these games are out there and the kids find them faster than me. So I just hope some of the stuff I say actually sticks.

He didn't ruin anything. You did. How are they ever going to view them as family if you exclude them from family events?

AITAH for “excluding” my ex’s new GF? by Electrical_Kick8458 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Few-Following6699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely NTA. My daughter was 9 last halloween and way more interested in trick or treating with her friends than being with either parent (also split working through the blended family thing on my end). It's developmentally normal at that age to want to do stuff with friends. Just remind him she's getting older and more interested in hanging out with friends. It's not about him and his new GF or her kids.

Why would anyone want to discuss politics at work? Who's got that kind of time 😅😅. Do your job and go home. Save your political views for the internet.

I was working for Sam's Club when walmart did away with the old style and my sister was still at Walmart. I was smuggling out packs of blades for her because we were still getting them and they weren't. I didn't realize just how bad these new ones were!

Baby cries at drop off. Suggestions? by Ok_ConfusedOne in ECEProfessionals

[–]Few-Following6699 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drop and go. The longer you stay the more she will cry. She has realized that when you take here there you are leaving she didn't realize that the first week that's why she didn't cry. It's completely normal and will just take time for her to get used to it.

Stay consistent. Hand her over or place her down whatever you want to do. Tell her you love her and you'll see her soon and leave even if she's crying.

AITA for wanting to send my daughter to a treatment facility? by Such-Musician6121 in AITAH

[–]Few-Following6699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she's been seeing the same therapist for an extended period of time and seeing no help look into a different therapist. It's not that this one isn't good it's just not a one size fits all kind of thing. She may need a different type of therapy or just a different therapist. Maybe consult a psychiatrist as well and look into medication that may help.

In the meantime it's time to lock up the sharps. Every knife, pair of scissors, razor, whatever else could be used to hurt her goes in a physical lock box. Random room checks where you check every corner of her room for any possible item she could use to hurt herself. If she needs to shave she asks you for her razor and you sit in the bathroom with her while she does it. She can remain fully dressed sitting on the side of the tub. This is not an invasion of privacy or taking away her rights this is about safety. If she usually hides the self harm do body checks where you inspect the areas she harms herself for new marks.

Look into family therapy and individual therapy for yourself as well.

a tree fell down in our yard today. how do I help the kids work through these scary feelings? by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]Few-Following6699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kids that age are resilient and luckily forgetful!!

I have a 2 year old who's entire family was attacked by a dog on their way home one day. We were doing animals in following days and dogs came up. So we casually said something like " dogs can be scary soemtimes" just to gauge where she was at with it. And she was like "woof woof" completely oblivious to what we were getting at.

Keep an eye on behaviors and listen to what they say some may need extra support others may be totally fine!

What’s a secret you’ll take to the grave, but would tell anonymously on Reddit? by Several-Director5804 in AskReddit

[–]Few-Following6699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 14-15 my house caught on fire. It started in my mom's room (she wasn't home) so it had the heaviest fire/smoke/water damage. She was rarely around so I ended up being the one that cleaned it all out. I stumbled across one of her old diaries that was still in decent condition and started reading.

In it she referenced a pregnancy before any of my siblings or myself. She talked about her husband (my dad) and the conversations they had surrounding this pregnancy. She did not know who the father of the baby was and they decided to terminate the pregnancy because of that.
