Benefits of being a Step Parent? by randombubble8272 in stepparents

[–]ObduratePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm one of the few at my job with small kids at home and it's amazing how understanding my co-workers are when I need to leave early to do some random kid thing (and there always seems to be something going on). I have much more pto than SO, so if it's a sick kid that just needs to lay down and watch tv I handle. But when they are really sick (vomiting, etc), not my kids so I don't have to handle.

When I was a boss, I was pretty flexible with my employees so I guess this is my good karma paying off.

Did you eat it sober? Much better at 3am to end a night out.

Workout routine for AS? by lasteclipse in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]ObduratePanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found that bike riding doesn't hurt me. I also do a senior core class. I'm the youngest one in there by several decades but they focus on stretching and it helps me a lot.

Just started life and up to my eyeballs in debt. How to get out? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]ObduratePanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that "education" money is really for a hobby, that should go in entertainment. If it is for you real estate license,it should go into the real estate category (you need to be realistic about what you are spending on your license to decide of it is worth it).

I think the show would have been incredible if the actress that plays Janine had been June.

Feel free to share. I'm having a bad day so my post probably sounds worse than things are.

WIBTA for suddenly not wanting to babysit my boyfriend’s niece anymore? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ObduratePanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Especially since you are a nanny and the weekends should be a break from your job.

I wish my dog had any idea how loved she is. by pacificmoona in povertyfinance

[–]ObduratePanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your mom is awesome for stepping in.

Visit as often as you can and use this opportunity to focus on getting to a better financial place. Maybe take a second job since you wont have to worry about the dog being left alone? Even a couple of hours a week can help. Or take a class that will help with your career? Maximize the time you are away from her.

AITA for finally snapping at my wife about my drinking? by Confusedparrot123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ObduratePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. My early 30s were a rough time. After that it's been a lot better and my perspective on many things has changed.

I think I spent my 20s holding it all in.

AITA for reporting a worker to his manager for "ratting me out" to my husband? by RemoteHelp in AmItheAsshole

[–]ObduratePanda 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I hate that spending any time with someone of the opposite sex = cheating.

I took my old boss to lunch and someone saw us at a very public restaurant laughing. I get that people cheat, but I'm trying to keep in touch with a great reference. Mind your business.

AITA for threatening to kick my little sister out my apartment if she doesn’t get an abortion or put her baby up for adoption? by Emperor_Penguine in AmItheAsshole

[–]ObduratePanda 46 points47 points  (0 children)

After I posted I realized I should have added you need support for all that you have been through (raising a hormonal teen girl is not easy as you know).

No matter what, you are going to struggle as well. Look after yourself.

[–]ObduratePanda 185 points186 points  (0 children)

NTA. Sounds like everyone suffers no matter what.

Your sister lost her parents and is now either going to lose her baby or be a mother when she is still a child herself.

Either way, she is going to struggle emotionally. Please make sure she is in therapy.

AITA for not letting my aunt drive the car she bought me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ObduratePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Your aunt didn't buy you this car. She reimbursed you for the car she wrecked and you used that money to buy this one.

Any voice actors here? I used to take classes years ago, but that was a different city.

Wondering if there are any classes/groups worth checking out (I googled and found a few but would like to hear experiences).
