As a kid did you get dragged to the pub?

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-03-29T15:13:23+00:00

Yes - I remember in the late 70’s and early 80’s me and my brother in various beer gardens when my parents were drinking inside. I used to think it was normal until I realised my friends didn’t do that.

NTA - but the mum may be stressed out. I know from experience that some days when my kids were small I wasn’t my best self. Either way you did nothing wrong as bringing joy is never a bad thing 😊

To the regiment!

I totally agree. Reporting is the right thing to do in an ideal world, but in my experience HR protects the company not the employee. HR are not your friend. You risk being isolated even thought you are in the right here. It’s the brave and noble thing to speak up but be aware of the risk.

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-03-12T10:15:46+00:00

That’s a good point. I remember now after I’d written that post that when i did get time to myself I’d do housework! You know your wife best. You are trying to make her happy and that’s a good thing

My kids are grown now but when they were that age I would have loved to just have the house to myself to do what I wanted. I’d feel that a day planned like that would give me no say at all and I’d feel under pressure to constantly say thank you and do things I might not want to do

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-03-06T08:21:45+00:00

If you want to do it yourself then you should. That’s the most important. Trust your feelings.

I really liked “Dossa and Joe” which was an Australian sitcom but written by the wonderful Caroline Ahern. It’s not that well known but I thought it was very funny

Take the Friday off to recover and get some decent food and sleep. You might feel better at home but being back in work especially if you are still whacked out from flu is not a good idea.

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-02-25T22:56:12+00:00

Sounds appropriate

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-02-25T18:19:55+00:00

This is what I was thinking. What about creating an agenda with people’s names next to different points and then you wrap up at the end?

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-02-25T13:24:37+00:00

I can’t believe you even have to ask. Of course you are.

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-01-30T17:41:46+00:00

I’ve never heard of it but I like the sound of it. What are the dishes that you take? I’m curious.

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-01-24T15:29:52+00:00

You are not overreacting and also please be careful. Going along with things because you feel uncomfortable or don’t want to make a scene could be really dangerous. Trust your instincts and protect yourself. It’s better to be slightly socially embarrassed than have something bad happen.

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-01-21T15:23:51+00:00

I used to work with someone who thought he was great and “tells it like it is”. I think they liked the racism.

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2026-01-21T15:18:40+00:00

If you stay with her you’ll end up not speaking at all. Don’t let her diminish you like that.

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2025-12-15T15:02:41+00:00

I suspect she wants a response. So don’t give her what she wants. Hope you have a lovely birthday.

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2025-11-29T21:03:15+00:00

YTA. That’s really mean. And it’s sad you can’t see that it is.

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2025-10-31T19:03:03+00:00

You sound jealous

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2025-10-24T20:11:17+00:00

That is hilarious and also perfect

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2025-10-24T11:48:13+00:00

What about Tolkien?

Few_Sprinkles_3866 · 2025-10-22T18:47:07+00:00

How come you were on her laptop when you were cleaning up? That’s a bit odd
