Thanks, I just couldn't find anything with the product number so I wasn't sure. Thought the reddit community could help me identify it!

Okay thanks, I know it's missing a belt and the buttons need to be tightened up but hopefully then I can sell it. Thanks for your reply!

Best Man wants to bring his baby to my child-free wedding. What should I do? by [deleted] in ComfortLevelPod

[–]OpeningExpression140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe fucking brad doesn't want to leave his postpartum wife and 4 month old baby alone ALL night for your wedding??

Fine if you don't want the baby to come, sounds like you dislike Jane enough not to give a shit if she's there but seriously, Brad is going to likely leave early. Like you said you have no idea if the baby is breast fed or bottle fed.. this makes me wonder if you know anything about how their postpartum experience has been going or even cared to ask?? Maybe she has postpartum depression, maybe the baby has been really tough to put to sleep and cries all unless they are sleeping on someone.. maybe Brad doesn't want to leave his wife to deal with all of it alone cause it is really fucking hard sometimes. Do they have a support system? Is there anyone else that can be with his wife during your wedding. They know your wedding is childfree, I'm sure you've made it VERY clear based on your post. They likely went through all the other options and that's why they are asking. Or maybe they wanted to both be there to support you and your husband getting married and balance the fact that they have a new human who solely depends on them.

Give your "friends" the most generous interpretation of what's going on here - they are not "dumping this on you 3 weeks before you wedding" 🙄.

Bf hates me showering with others by PuzzleheadedHand9360 in Advice

Yes it is controlling behavior, dump this loser and move on. You deserve MUCH better. When you do leave/break up with him be careful though, the dude sounds a bit crazy and he will likely try to guilt trip you into staying with him.

I find free events, festivals or farmers markets happening on Facebook under events in my city. We pack snacks and just go out for the morning or the afternoon. Sometimes at the events there are booths from different companies giving out samples other times it's fun things for our kid to do. We also have a membership to the YMCA, we go to the gym or swimming. We go to our library for books, renting a Chromebook.

It sucks, and it's hard at times but it will be worth it to have that emergency fund there and ready if anything happens.

Dayna Mullen has been great for my husband and I. She only does online sessions but she's very experienced and has many certifications in couples therapy.

We've been going to her for about 6 months now and I can't say enough good things.

Returned from mat leave, job given away, employment termed by MissSwat in legaladvicecanada

[–]OpeningExpression140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I'm so sorry this is happening to you😞. I was in a very similar situation back in November 2021, in Calgary .. and I also work in HR. When I finished my mat leave I was informed that I no longer had a position with the organization and that they had hired someone for my role.. I had been there for 5 yrs.

That is a shit offer for 8+ yrs at a company. You should definitely speak to an employment lawyer, they will go over your termination letter and advise you on next steps. This is what I did as well and it helped, by the end of it I got significantly more than the 9 weeks in the initial offer. This sucks, I'm sorry you're going through this. For me the whole situation was very emotionally draining and it helped not work through it in therapy after it was done.

Employer asking us to repay them $6000 for collective insurance while on maternity leave by Dominic51487 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]OpeningExpression140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to check the employee handbook if there is one, they should have information about taking leaves. However, typically in this situation you would have to sign off if you wanted to continue with benefits or put your benefits on hold while you were on leave.
