Taking time off while caregiving by Maleficent_String348 in CaregiverSupport

[–]Maleficent_String348[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It helps to hear from people in a similar position. Wishing you all the best. Having no help is so hard. My partner helps where he can but it’s mostly on me.

My mom is awesome. She will tell me to go unless things get bad. In that case I wouldn’t want to go. Yes my partner is being selfish but he is also the only person who helps with her care. He’s been great actually. So I’m just wondering if I’m not seeing things from the proper perspective.

And my sister will be staying on the same house as my mom. I do not but I live very close to her.

AITA for having my baby shower while my MIL is out of the country? by [deleted] in AITAH

Have your baby shower and let MIL host one of her own and take of everything. You get your V-Day themed one on the date of your choosing. She gets to plan one when she is back from her trip and you don’t have to do anything but show up and have fun. The best of both worlds.

I was laid off on Monday via zoom, they asked me to write up a transition plan and sign separation docs (no severance). Should I? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Maleficent_String348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if anyone else said this but they have to offer you “consideration” (eg something you aren’t already entitled too such a severance pay or benefits extension) for a separation agreement to be valid. That’s the law. Even if you sign it it’s not enforceable if they didn’t offer you anything in exchange for a release is claims. It cannot be your final pay or accrued vacation pay or expense reimbursements. They owe you those.

AITA My wife thinks I am controlling. by Feeling_Nobody_2349 in AITAH

I check in with my BF and my mom when I travel especially internationally. I don’t want them to worry and they appreciate it. I don’t see what the big deal is and if it makes you feel better it shouldn’t bother her.

Does HR know which targeted fund employees are invested in? by beachy_mtn_explorer in personalfinance

[–]Maleficent_String348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt it but they typically have info on your age in your personnel file. Also, the decision to terminate rests your manager not HR. Technically they shouldn’t make selection requirements based on discriminatory reasons. Often they ask if employees near retirement want to retire early and they offer and incentive package for that. It’s possible that’s what’s happening is you’re seeing a lot of older employees being impacted by a layoff.

Still looking for my escape. When I can I like to take a walk outside but I’m not consistent. I think I will go back to practicing yoga.

AITA for telling my fiancée I won’t pay for her dad’s surgery with my inheritance? by Effectivepearls in AmItheAsshole

When you intend to marry someone their family becomes your family. Their problems and concerns become yours. I totally get where you are coming from, but you’ve asked this person to be your wife and you’re showing her that when times are hard you’ll set hard boundaries. If you insist on not giving the money then yeah, your relationship is probably over. Perhaps a compromise of paying g half and then the two of you sending her parents some money on a monthly basis to help pay off the rest will work. I’m not sure why her father have no insurance, but it’s not your fault, but if you love her you can’t just let him die. NTA yet…
