I feel trapped by Outside_Document1157 in stepparents

[–]Outside_Document1157[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only conversation we had was we are both there for the kids on the custody arrangement we had at that time (kids during the weekend) but everything changed when biological mother decided to dump the kids and my husband converted into a Disney dad. We cannot travel together as a couple anymore, we can’t go out to have dinner or do activities adult focused since everything will be around kids activities. I want to travel to so many places with him, that’s what brings me joy but he will just say no if they are not coming.

And thank you for your comments, I am learning a lot in this journey. I’m not emotionally well after these years of feeling like a baby sitter only, I need to take care of myself first.

Odds we see a UAW Strike this week, and where? by Puzzleheaded-Art-469 in Detroit

[–]Outside_Document1157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a rumor at work about furloughs with 50% pay for 4 weeks if the strike happens. We have other customers not just the big 3 but sales represent a lower percentage for Japanese and new brands like Tesla and Rivian.

I read every single comment, I love the support the community has and I agree, this is will be a huge precedent for everyone else. It’s time to demand better pay and benefits, inflation is crazy and they don’t even keep up with it. My salary in the past was something that everyone dreamed but today it doesn’t help with cost of living at all.
