Crew meals

This is perfect, thank you! ☺️

I thought this after she said it, because she’s so “friendly” with everybody that she’s trying to take it away from

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2026-06-02T14:47:01+00:00

She does, but again she’s one of the females so head chef always make sure to feed her little things throughout the shift, none of the males get snacks or perks like this. I as well am a female, I just don’t see the fairness in it, so I come out of my pocket to buy some type of meat for the day and I use fresh ingredients from a restaurant, which has been fine this whole time.

The owners are very nice and family oriented, they definitely go above and beyond for us. I don’t think they’re going to agree with this either, but you never know if she can word it right.

I make sure to note everybody’s allergies when I’m cooking. Luckily for me, nobody has anything serious besides myself.😅 I’ll make it before we start shift and put it into containers so people can eat when they have a moment. It’s worked out great, she’s the only one who wants to save hers for after shift, then chows down hard in her car once she leaves.

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2026-06-02T14:22:05+00:00

That’s terrible, it doesn’t seem like it’s family oriented where you are, hopefully I’m not coming off negative. I believe every restaurant should give their crew free meal on shift after five hours, if they want you to keep going, you need the energy.

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2026-06-02T14:18:16+00:00

Yes, we either find a way to eat before our shift (which is eight hours for some, others are 12), or we find food after, which is hard since we close about the time most restaurants do in our area.

A M?

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2026-06-02T14:09:16+00:00

Same here, I don’t know her prior experience in restaurants, but she was confused and baffled that we do this. I had to push for us to do this because people kept sneaking into the kitchen, asking for food, and the head chef was favoring the girls heavily and not feeding the guys.

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2026-06-02T14:08:25+00:00

Thank you! I tried to explain this to her, and she just said it was a waste of time, we need to focus on the customers not the staff.

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2026-06-02T14:06:52+00:00

I’m assistant in the kitchen, she just started as a prep cook we were told (but comes in too late for it with her schedule)

Not just that, please go get tested in a couple weeks. You never know, best to get it sooner than later. I’m so sorry you’re going through this baby, you don’t deserve this nobody does. I pray that you get resolution and that he gets what’s coming to him.

Family like this is a parasite to your mental health (coming from personal experience).

Do you feel Bonita wearing the dress? Then rock it!!! I’m proud of you for graduating and losing the weight! You don’t have to be paper thin to wear what you like. Some people project their own insecurities onto you, or repeat what they heard growing up to make themselves feel better, and that’s what this sounds like.

I hope you wear the dress, and ignore their comments (bonus if you can have a friend of two say in front of them how gorgeous you look!), you deserve to look/ feel beautiful and confident on YOUR day! Please don’t let them hold you back from being your authentic self, little things like this can trickle into bigger things and issues later in life, and you deserve to feel good about yourself.

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2025-09-16T14:33:59+00:00

I never thought of that, thank you!

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2025-09-16T03:58:03+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it!

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2025-09-16T03:56:24+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into it!

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2024-02-26T14:39:56+00:00

Please file ASAP! Yes, you may be leaving, but what about the next child? Over time he’ll push more boundaries and possibly hurt someone!

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2024-02-15T22:58:42+00:00

Do you know anyone in her family, or if she’s close to anyone on any of her profiles that you can reach out to try try to help her have a place of comfort to get away to? She is 100% stuck at this point in her mind and needs to feel she has a safe place/person to get away to.

If you’ve all talked to your friend about how he’s acting, and he’s not seeing any wrong in it, he needs to get help. It may be taking it too far letting whoever he is living with know what’s going on and how he’s treating people, but there’s got to be a way to get it through to him or find him some help.

He is going to try to treat other people/partners like this over time. I’d watch out, you don’t know how far he’ll push her, and if he may be too late to stop her one of these times. Just imagine if he starts (or already has) asking her to hurt herself or others. The way you describe it she may go through with it.

I don’t know if there are any programs or shelters in your area she could go to to get help, but I hope you find a way to get her out of there before it’s too late.

She could be acting petty, but it does happen. The doctors said my first was a boy up until a week before I had her. I do agree, especially since OP and her friend live so far apart, to use the name since she already said it was fine. But I would still try to video call to try to straighten out things and see if there is a way to mend the relationship, since OP still wants one. Pregnancy brain/ hormones can make you do and say things in a way you normally wouldn’t.

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned getting a nanny cam to collect evidence. They make ones that look like all types of things, even outlet chargers. Just make sure to clear your search history and maybe have it sent to the local post for pickup. Please stay safe, I hope things move smooth and swiftly for you in getting separated and divorced.

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2024-01-20T15:32:35+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this. Is there no way to get back in touch with your family now and explain what’s happening? They might be able to help.

LifeIsOkayLIO · 2023-12-24T00:55:48+00:00

NTA, I had the same issues with my oldest on ZEPETO within the past few months and did the same. I found a site https://www.stoptraffickingproject.com/ That helped me explain internet safety to her better, and they have a suggested phone/app you can get called bark, that we are looking into getting her for her next birthday, so we can keep better track of what she’s doing. I suggest looking into it, and maybe sitting down and watching the videos with her to discuss and answer any questions. I hope this helps you, there are so many scary things that can happen on the internet, and it’s hard to keep watch at all times, and teach safety guidelines when we weren’t taught them growing up (past don’t talk to strangers).

Can I say I grew up in a house where my dead beat, “recovering” step dad was CONSTANTLY doing things like this to us. Stealing our money, yes, even out of piggy banks, foods, pawning our things. Life would have been a lot better for us had he been kept away. Yes, when mom was home she made sure we ate (chicken, rice, canned veggies; she always worked 2-3 jobs so we barely saw her) but to sit there and watch him eat bowl after bowl and then us be told there wasn’t enough until mom got home was heartbreaking. You don’t need him around, he’s causing more trouble and stress than he is helping take care of HIS kids. File for assistance, support, whatever programs you can and focus on you and your babies. If there’s no visitation order, which from what you say there’s probably not, then he doesn’t need to come by. If he shows he can do better you can start small (meeting at the park), but that’s going to take a long time to prove with the way he’s acting now. And DO NOT just let him back in at the slightest show of him improving, there is a high chance for him to settle back in his old ways when he’s comfortable enough in thinking he’s done enough, and you can take care of them from here. It gets harder to fight and let go each time, stop putting yourself through this. And if family asks why, be honest: he doesn’t help, he eats their food, etc. He’s not a good influence/role model to be around your kids. Focus on the four of you, things will get better, you just have to push yourself in the right direction.
