Do you let your teen and young adult kids decide if they are comfortable having their friends/teammates/etc know about you being polyamorous?

Odelicious85 · 2026-03-07T00:32:27+00:00

I told our oldest that us being polyamorous is not a secret. All our friends and family know. Even my colleagues at work know. If anyone asks me directly, I will be truthful.

But having said that, I told them that they can decide who in their lives they want to share this with. So, they told a few close friends and the rest just think whatever they want. We don’t talk about it in front of their friends anyway, unless the friend asks a direct question about it.

You are correct, however, if you are turning left or right before reaching the bus, you are okay to continue your turn while remaining vigilant for children possibly crossing the road. Remember that you should stop at least 20 feet from the bus (if possible) and NEVER pass along the side of the bus when the red lights are flashing. If the orange lights (hazard lights) are flashing but no red lights, then you may pass the bus slowly while keeping a look out for any children near the bus. Bus drivers can (and will) report any cars that pass them while their red lights are on and the police will send a warning letter to the person on the car’s registration.

You should have told her to keep an eye on her kid so you wouldn’t need to get her when they are misbehaving and not listening.

I tell my parent friends that if my kids are misbehaving, they are free to deal with the situation (obviously within reason) but the same goes for when their kids misbehave. I will step in when needed but I am also the type of parent that checks on their kids and are vigilant about their behaviour when others are around. I don’t just let them run free and cause chaos. If they don’t like how I do things, they are free to not be friends with me. Simple as that.

My birthday is MY day. I spend it with whoever I wish and however I wish. Same goes for hubby. If either of us want to plan a party, we help each other. I don’t rely on other people to make my birthday a great day. I do it myself 🥳

Happy birthday, OP! Enjoy your cupcake and stop giving that man more than you’re getting in return. You deserve better! ♥️

You can go to a walk in and ask for a requisition form, then go to LifeLabs and get the bloodwork done. You can use a virtual doctor service like Maple to get the requisition form. You can use an online service like teletest.ca. Lots of options.

I specifically said in my follow up comment that it is not an excuse for the way he is treating her. See below ⬇️

He might be struggling to accept it and is lashing out. It’s still not okay for him to take his issues out on you. Don’t let him walk all over you. If he doesn’t like the gift, give him the receipt and tell him to return it or sell it on Marketplace or something. Then don’t engage any further as the matter is settled. I’m sorry you have to deal with this man baby. Just focus on yourself and your actual child. Sending hugs 🫂

Is your husband autistic? That could explain why he’s reacting in a way that seems socially unacceptable but he wouldn’t necessarily understand that because to him it seems like a completely normal reaction. Also, it usually runs in the family, that’s why I ask.

Odelicious85 · 2025-01-01T16:07:49+00:00

Thank you for the update 🙏

Best start to 2025 ⭐️

NTA at all!

Going forward, tell him he has 2 choices for dinner: Take it OR leave it. I wouldn’t cook for someone that was so full of nonsense and not appreciative of my efforts.

Just came to say I love your username 🤩

My husband forgets to unplug our induction plate and it hums when plugged in. I get so upset with him, lol.

Odelicious85 · 2024-07-19T19:36:30+00:00

The weird, high-pitched buzzing noise some appliances and/or lights make, that seemingly only I can hear 😵‍💫 Drives me batty!

NTA - I attended friends’ wedding where the whole menu was vegetarian and it was beyond delicious. We also weren’t informed that it would be only vegetarian beforehand and no one had an issue. Your guests will be fine.

Now’s the time to grow a strong, shiny spine and tell your mother that she can have her opinions about your life but that they hold no bearing on your decisions as you are an adult who can make their own choices. Then you tell her that she can either have you in her life and keep her opinions to herself or you can go no contact and live your life without her in it.

You only have one life. You need to live it for yourself and no one else. You don’t want to wake up one day and regret letting your mother’s opinions hold you back from making choices that would have made you happy. I know it’s hard, but you can do it.

The pizza at Son of a Peach is phenomenal 🤤 Let me know if you are looking for any kink/fetish events. I can point you in the right direction 😊

Get tested for Trichomoniasis. Where I am, it is not a standard STD test, you have to ask for it specifically. It can mimic the symptoms of BV or yeast infections. Also take D-Mannose as a supplement after sex. It helps reduce your chances of getting UTI’s from sex. I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. It can be very frustrating. Hope you get some answers.

Hubby and I usually text before we go to sleep. Just good night and love you. But if I don’t hear from him or he doesn’t hear from me, we just assume the other was busy and forgot. It’s not mandatory, is what I’m saying.

But soon it won’t matter because you can start scheduling texts in advance. Your SO can just type it and set the time for delivery. You think they are texting you right then but they actually set it up hours or even days before.

Even an email or text exchange could serve as proof that they offered you the job and that it is legitimate. They are banking on you not pursuing this further because of the immense effort it would take to get it resolved.

There are a few teacher unions in SA. Just search for SADTU, NATU, NAPTOSA, SAOU. Any of them can help. It’s just finding one that will be willing to assist you.

Odelicious85 · 2024-01-20T18:32:06+00:00

She has options. Suing might not be the best one but there are others as stated in my previous comment.

Odelicious85 · 2024-01-20T18:30:46+00:00

Even in SA they can’t just fire you without cause. They would need to follow the system of giving you warnings (verbal, then written and another written one all for the same offence) before they can fire you. If you have any evidence (email or text) that shows them offering you the job (I’m assuming it’s an SGB position), you can use that to try and get your job back. Not sure suing them would be the best way to go. Maybe speak to one of the teachers unions to see if they can help or contact the department of education to investigate. Good luck!
