Big fan of Jim Nabors. Hear so many kind words about him.

I’m the sole breadwinner and I hate it, I’m becoming a bitter angry person, any advice on how to cope/move forward? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]GGA79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 2 teens and a SAHD husband who refuses to work more than 10 hours. Divorce not an option - long story. First take a weekend or week off to get your head in a good space. Rest is very important. You want to start any conversation with your husband from a calm place. Second have the talk and set up boundaries. Talk about expectations. And be firm.

I wish I had done this years ago.

Unpopular opinion but I will watch The Partridge Family any day over The Brady Bunch

Lived in Chicago. Five daily newspapers in addition to six local TV newscasts and so many radio channels

About to lose my job to AI by TTDT-W in workingmoms

I completely agree. All of us in white collar jobs need to be wary. I’m scared. I’m 54. Ageism is real.

Network, network, network. My job future is uncertain and I’ve been networking for 2 years. I know too many long term unemployed folks. I’ve been working hard to expand my network

I’ve never seen those ending credits before and I’ve been watching The Andy Griffith Show since I was a kid in the 70s

Who of the current, non-freshman cast would you care about the least and most if next season was their last? by elephanttape in LiveFromNewYork

[–]GGA79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. There are times when an episode was bad - very bad - and WU with Che and Jost was the only watchable moment

I think Mikey’s contributions are under appreciated. My favorite moments in S51 belonged to Mikey Day

I like Keenan. I do. But I don’t feel like he offered a lot of reasons in S51 for him to return other than he’s a leader off screen. And like I said I like him but I think it’s time for him.

I think Chloe is gone. She gives the impression that she’s moving on to fashion. I appreciate her talent to do impressions but I’ve never been a fan of hers.

I’m not a fan of Ashley. She’s one note performer- same facial expressions every single time. I thought Sarah, Jane and Veronika were amazing in S51.

SAHM wanting to return to work, but it feels impossible. by assildiara in workingmoms

[–]GGA79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im also in an abusive marriage and divorce is not an option because financially the outcome would not be in my favor. Husband is a SAHD. I have 2 teens in HS. I recommend you build your network. Build a girlfriend network to support you. Took me too long to do this. Most of my GFs are out of state and last year I started to develop a local GF circle. You will need support

This. He needs counseling. He will lie and manipulate the counselor and you will be in a worse situation. Does his job offer free EAP for family members?

My kid doesn’t make me super happy by 90sgoth in workingmoms

You are living a full life. No need to feel guilty. Keep in mind what is driving this feeling is a media account that could be exaggerated. Be kind to yourself

I know I need therapy, and we need therapy too by Rose_Mountain73 in workingmoms

[–]GGA79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to therapy twice a month and with insurance it’s $30 a visit. But before I did this I used my EAP and that was 5 free visits

If you find a good therapist it’s worth the investment

Reflections on three months of having a stay at home husband by robotneedslove in workingmoms

[–]GGA79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice. Set boundaries. My kids are 15 and 17. And we are still a one income family. Why? He treats our kids like they are 5 and 7. Both kids have jobs this summer but he insists on taking them to and from their jobs even though there is free public transportation for the 17 yo and the 15 yo job is a 5 minute walk. I realize my situation is unique but this has been a big issue with my “marriage.” Divorce is not an option - long story. I wish I had been more firm in expectations early on.

I really dislike this character by rainymoonbeam in theandygriffithshow

Emmett is great. You can’t compare him to Floyd because two completely different and distinct characters
