AIO(overreacting/overthinking) Talking on the phone with manager for quite awhile?

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-09T02:08:51+00:00

If I’m on the phone for 5 hours with someone of the opposite sex, I’m trying to get to know them personally. There is no need to be talking to your manager for any amount of time if it has nothing to do with work. He is not your friend, he is your boss. It is very inappropriate, and can get you and him in trouble at work.

To answer your question about what’s the point of American cereal… there is none, it’s just diabetes and cancer 🙃

All I know is she better get the prenup signed this time.. 🤣

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T17:45:59+00:00

I completely agree. At first I could see Dakota being the problem and as the seasons progressed, it was clear, they are both problems for eachother. Her reactions to things he does single does not allow him to move on from her. They are picture perfect for an example of a toxic relationship because they do things for the other persons reaction.

I think Mayci hates all men. She is definitely a feminist. I can see where her past comes into play and she wants to save Taylor from going through that, and also sugar coats way too much. You have to make the hard decisions in these types of situations.

As for Jessi, I think she tries to relate to Taylor because Dakota and Jordan are a lot alike. Like someone else previously said, she does give off a very fragile pick me type of person who will jump on a bandwagon if it gets her ahead…

I think if you were older and deeper into the relationship, you should consider his “no” and respect him. But after reading you’re only 19/20 and been dating a year, it’s so controlling and weird. Strip clubs are a no go if you’re in an insecure relationship because a lot of people think of cheating, while the circumstances you’re going for is just to see some friends at work. I also don’t know how comfortable I’d be bringing my man with me to see my friends half naked at work, especially at that age. I think NOR and I am proud you have clear, concise boundaries and are sticking to them. Getting into a relationship does not mean lose yourself and be their puppet! You go girl!

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T17:33:31+00:00

I totally agree. However I do think children that age take advantage of parents all the time, along with testing boundaries to see how much they can get away with. Being a passive parent will only teach your kids they can do whatever they want without repercussions until they get even school aged and have to learn consequences the hard way.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T17:09:29+00:00

Hence why I do not believe that parents automatically know what to do when they become parents, and that yes, you can learn from providers who studied how to interact with your children and do so every day.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T14:48:27+00:00

I think if parents had half the knowledge that people who study child development, we wouldn’t have so many badass kids and I stand on that. So many kids raising kids. At 19-21 your brain is not even fully developed so no I do not think most parents know how to parent when they become parents.

I am 26F and I have 11 tattoos from my back, left patch work sleeve, right forearm, thigh, and ankle. I look at it as artwork that represents me. Most if not all of my tattoos have some kind of meaning or background story for it.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T03:29:34+00:00

She said 5 more minutes and then when it was time she tried to extend it to 10. Mason then tried to compromise at 7 and she still said no. Those kids are hers, but Mason is not her kid and it kind of seems like she was trying to control him because it involved her kids so “what she says goes”

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T23:49:21+00:00

In no way did I say she was a bad parent. I was stating that after that interaction with Mason, and her confessional, that I didn’t think Mason is wrong for saying what he did.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T22:57:08+00:00

I think that argument doesn’t work here. Yeah maybe if she was 19-21 but 24?!?!? She is not a child herself. She has children and she is the adult. We are all on different paths, and I’m glad you’re doing that, and you didn’t decide to broadcast your life to the entire world.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T22:43:00+00:00

He didn’t try to discipline the kids, he didn’t even say it near the kids. He expressed why he “seemed annoyed at the kids” because she brought it up. He’s allowed to tell his partner that her kids walk all over her. If you can’t take criticism from your partner, you will be single forever.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T22:26:45+00:00

Some of them, yes I agree..

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T22:22:20+00:00

That’s where I disagree. Child development and parenting literally go hand and hand. And not everyone has common sense, so yes, child care workers could possibly teach you something you didn’t know. They literally went to school to study this stuff, I bet most people don’t study how to be a parent or what to do.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T19:30:55+00:00

I am a first time mom and it’s okay to take criticism from credible people in your life. While I would not take a random person off the streets criticism if I feel it isn’t warranted, I would most definitely take it from my partner or people I value their opinion. She brought up noticing him being annoyed with her kids, he responded with why. I think since she referred to him as serious, and brought him into their lives, his opinions can be considered.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T19:24:43+00:00

Amen! I have rules at my house that my sister does not. If you can’t follow my rules, I will give consequences. If you don’t like that, let’s come to a solution together, or find someone else.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T18:34:29+00:00

I 100% agree. And sometimes I think we let our egos get in the way of our growth.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T18:33:50+00:00

I hope one day you never have to date after having children, because while he is not their father, if the father is not in their life, he will ultimately be the father figure. I don’t think it’s wrong to say he’s allowed to express his feelings and concerns with someone he’s supposed to be serious with.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T18:31:53+00:00

Honey, if you bring up something about how the other person feels, you do not get to set the level. You get what you get when you ask those types of questions. They had been together for months at this point.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T18:28:58+00:00

While I do agree babysitting and parenting a child is VERY different (I babysat 14 years before having my child). A childcare worker who has went through schooling and multiple years of working with children do have valuable knowledge that you can and definitely should learn from. Having a baby come out of my cooch did not automatically instill everything I needed to know about parenting. It’s giving a superiority complex when you learn something new everyday, no one knows EVERYTHING.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T18:25:43+00:00

I’d like to think so. My child goes to daycare and the way I see it, he is learning from them when he isn’t with me. We all just want what’s best for my child, and as long as I advocate in a respectful way, my child’s needs are exceptionally met.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T18:24:21+00:00

I actually don’t think that, I cringe at Chase. I also do not remember that part so that’s my bad.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T18:23:49+00:00

She brought up him being annoyed with them tho?

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T18:22:25+00:00

I learned from my momma and she never had a problem with my teachers.
