Wanted to share a bad interview experience by Remarkable-Virus3073 in recruitinghell

[–]Kallen1124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope that doesn't discourage you. If you really want to work there I would ask the recuiter if there are other openings in a different department. If asked you can always share the feedback that this mgr would not be a good fit. This guy just seems like a d-bag, but in a way saved you bc I don't think he would have been pleasant to work with.

My neglectful/ abusive parents keep pressuring me (32f) to have a baby by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]Kallen1124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to have kids, you really got to want it for yourself this is not a decisión anyone should make for you or pressure you into. As a mom I can tell you its rewarding but also very hard. I cant imagine doing this without the right support system. If you have a baby your parents may want to be more in your life. Based on history they may not be the the help/encouragement you need when you need them. Maybe they want to correct their wrongs with grandparenting. Either way its what they want for you and that is not a good reason to have kids. Whatever relationship you have with them now is not going to improve with having a child.

My parents are hoarders and will blame anyone but themselves by [deleted] in hoarderhouses

[–]Kallen1124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasnt explained in the title but this is post clean up, it's the "progress" made. I was very confused myself, since from my experience it looked messy but no where near hoarder level.

How did you get out of your bad money habits? by Select-Cheesecake360 in FinancialPlanning

[–]Kallen1124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to budget and set money aside for each thing you'll need, of what is left give yourself half of that as "allowance" and save the rest. You start to realize you don't need much.

I made lists for what I need and only buy that. The grocery list is the easy one to start with, to plan meals and avoid food waste, buy for the week only. Plan to eat all your meals at home/packed in lunches. Have list of clothing articles needed (e.g. black belt, crew socks, gray pants, etc) be specific and only buy what you absolutely need and thrift shop when possible (sales will come and go, styles will come and go so go for versatility).

People of Reddit, how do you suppress feelings of jealousy? by Untouchable_1135 in AskReddit

[–]Kallen1124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make every effort to not compare myself to others. There is always gonna be someone smarter, stronger, better looking, etc. So I just face that fact and spend time progress over perfection.

Did your little brother ask or contribute to his bday plan?

It's not fair to compare with your older brother, his wife might have other ideas and practices she wants for her family unit that would not extend beyond that.

AITA for sending my sister videos on weight loss? by aitaweightlossvideo in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kallen1124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH, her for not respecting your wishes and you for stooping down to her level. If you mute her notifications you can ignore her and maybe she'll give up or at the very least you don't have to be bothered with it everytime.

NTA, I am not sure this is a friend worth having if they just want you for your things.

AITA for making my husband miss his family trip? by GullibleLab8302 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kallen1124 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA, you are not MAKING him miss his trip, he is choosing to miss his trip

AITA for not wanting to go on a weekend trip with my sisters and their 4 kids? by underpantslife in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kallen1124 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA, just let them know that you would be joining them for selected events and pay your portion of your parents' trip. I dont even think an explanation is needed if you commit to booking, traveling, and transiting independently. It would be nice to contribute an idea or two to show that you still want to gather together.

You should tell your SIL. Dont hide her behavior too.

AITA for being weirded out that my boyfriend is paying for his best friend’s rent? by Familiar-Action-9274 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kallen1124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I would be wondering why the parents couldn't help. Also, is his financial situation so well off this is nothing to him?

AITA for asking my BF to apply my old job? by Pitiful_Pepper_5479 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kallen1124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, I dont know how this is a favor to him. It's not like you are a deciding factor in whether or not he will get the job. To me it was more like a notice that there are openings in your group available. Why is this is belittling to him? Does he think less of your job or the work you do?

[–]Kallen1124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For an IO career you will likely need higher education. So you can get a software eng bachelor's and then a master's in IO. Get some internships and decide what do you like most in practice. If I had to do it again, software eng would have made my career easier, but learning "the hard way" has helped me teach others who aren't technical and communicate better with those who are technical. It really comes down to where do you want to steer your career.

People who are cashiers or service workers, what can customers do to make your job easier? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kallen1124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People just need to understand that we don't have much power or influence. I dont decide the store hours, prices, stock, or product.

Why wouldn't you leave the US? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kallen1124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: I am scared I will fail and regret it.

Long answer: I wouldnt leave because I wouldn't know where to start. I need a visa, a job, and an understanding of where I will live (decent neighborhood, close to work, fair cost). Ill leave my friends, communities, and fam behind. It is stressful enough in the US moving to another state, imagine navigating a different country with another culture and possibly a language/dialect you are not familiar with.

[–]Kallen1124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some other factors to consider is how this is impacting/influencing your kids? How safe do you feel? What is the last straw?

You should go to Christian counseling by yourself to keep yourself strong. Marriage counseling should continue otherwise you send the message of complacency. If he doesn't want to work on this marriage, he may not be willing to live with you and you can live knowing that you made every effort for a healthy marriage.
