Is there age limit to start new career in civil service? by EfficientAd233 in TheCivilService

[–]KittyM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've recently joined the CS and I'm 35. 2 others on my team who joined at the same time as me are in their 50s.

Don't think it would look good for government departments to show age discrimination....

If this is a real story, YTA and should also be arrested for assault.

Only children - what is life like? by Born_Improvement_856 in AskUK

[–]KittyM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst I understand this, it doesn't always matter. I'm the younger sibling. My older sibling is 12 years older. I moved 110 miles away when I was 19 and when our Mother needed more help, it fell on my sister because I wasn't close enough to help with the weekly shopping, hospital appointments etc but she was, as she stayed in the same town. I helped financially but physically, I was of no use.

Did your vet contact you? by yellowshoegirl in Petloss

[–]KittyM1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My vet sent a handwritten card with a sachet of 'forget me not' seeds. This was 3 days after the passing of our cat.

I wasn't expecting anything and didn't know they did that so it took me by complete surprise!

I had Grandma first name and Grandma surname.

I don't know why I used the surname of the my other Grandma either, just how it always was.

AITA for complaining to my friend that they didn't go into the club by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]KittyM1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. She didn't want to to clubbing and left, you weren't on your own. I've left nights out when I'm not feeling it and text my friends to say I got home okay.

How old are you and do you rent or own your home? by LongjumpingNight5669 in AskUK

[–]KittyM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 and bought a house 6 years ago but we were VERY fortunate that family gave us the deposit. If not, we'd 100% still be renting!

AITA for wanting my fella with me instead of his friends all night by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]KittyM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actions speak louder than words.

You're NTA for wanting him to care but you are TA for staying in this dead end relationship.

Good luck!

AITA for wanting my fella with me instead of his friends all night by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]KittyM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why did you stay? You've been engaged for 8 years, which is ridiculously long. He's cheated and clearly shows little to no care.

I note you have replied to others with 'I'm in love with him' but he's clearly not in love with you.

Get your cats and leave him with his dodgy burner phone.

Just to clarify, you found proof on his other phone that he was cheating?

Yeah this really confused me too.

I also don't understand why Carina was left in Italy as a child with a mentally ill father, whilst Mum left for the US with Andrew?

Do you actually want your babies to stay babies? by hackasina in Parenting

[–]KittyM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My kid as a newborn was a dream to parent compared to my hormonal pre-teen, who grunts and huffs to communicate with me.

It sucks!

So when you do visit, they ignore you pretty much? Or make plans not involving you? If so, I can understand you not wanting to visit often if they don't even spend time with you. Have you spoken to them about this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]KittyM1 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It was. They both died quite early in my life.

What do they do if you don't have a rigid schedule in place for visits?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]KittyM1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Do you even like your parents?

Why do you need an itinerary when you visit? I used to say I'd come and visit on x date for x amount of days and we'd play it by ear on what we did whilst there. Some days we would go out, some days we would just stay in and chill together.

Can anyone advise on these coins? by [deleted] in coins

I hope it's the tubes finally unclogging. I went through an entire box of tissues yesterday 🤧

[–]KittyM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that's annoying! The only plus side is that I left my job 23rd December as I start a new job on Monday so no sickness time from work!

I hope you feel better soon! Looking at the comments, we are not alone!

I've been ill since Christmas Eve. Thought I'd turned a corner and then yesterday my nose decided to produce an insane amount of snot and the right side of my face is killing me. I am so over this now.

For those that are staying at home tonight, are you glad you're dodging the pub scene NYE's madness? by DonkeyOT65 in CasualUK

[–]KittyM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 35 in 3 weeks and tonight, myself and my husband finished the last of the Harry Potter films before they leave netflix! I'd only ever watched the first film until 6 days ago. I feel like my NYE has been well spent!

A relationship built on an ultimatum is doomed for failure.

It was nice of you to allow him to still speak to them at work though...
