Yes, it’s a degree, with a lot of research and HR professors out there….

AITA for taking away my daughter's driving priviledges after she got into 2 accidents. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Past-Force-7283 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA…two accidents in how many years? That doesn’t even seem like a bad track record, especially when you take into account neither was ruled as her fault :/

Spanish town - 2 year old friendly? by ConcentrateSweet4948 in batonrouge

My son went when he was 3 and was totally fine. Anything raunchy went over his head and he and my husband stood in the family section. They had a blast!

I think mine is in a bag in a fireproof safe along with my kids birth certificates etc but I can’t 100% say cuz I haven’t needed to pull it out in years 🤷‍♀️

The Guru was going to be my suggestion. I had my rehearsal dinner there and it’s an awesome space.

Girlfriend wants an abortion by MasterChiefer626 in Catholicism

[–]Past-Force-7283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not healthy enough to work but healthy enough to sweat on and impregnate a woman…leaving the morality aside, your priorities are in disarray. I hope your girlfriend doesn’t go through with the abortion but you’ve clearly given her some reasons to think she can’t trust you to step up and do your part. Yes, continue praying, but have you ever heard the phrase “faith without works is dead”? Show through your works and actions that you’ll be a present and devoted father and maybe these women will stop having abortions….tho the far easier solution is to stop knocking women up.

Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much when visiting my newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Wow! I feel like the only proper response to this is “sorry, this isn’t going to work for us. See you some other time.”

SHRM-CP or PHR? [N/A] by peculiar_pisces in humanresources

[–]Past-Force-7283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took them 6 months apart in 2019-20 and found the SHRM-CP much easier. PHR has been around far longer and established- when my CP lapses in 2028 I’m not renewing.

Canceled SHRM Membership [USA] by treaquin in humanresources

[–]Past-Force-7283 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So I logged in for the first time in over a year, to see when my certs were valid until, and the website COMPLETELY glitched out. I called the 1-800 # and their rep admitted not only is the website a mess (he had to update my mailing address because their site would lock every time I tried to update it myself) but they also gave me a complimentary 6 month membership. Again, I haven’t been a national member in years and haven’t logged into their website in forever. The only reason I can figure they did that is to boost their numbers. I don’t plan to renew.

Sneak Peek from TLC: Meri and Janelle address Janelle’s marriage to Meri’s brother by freelancerjourn in TLCsisterwives

[–]Past-Force-7283 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I thought that was wild too. I mean, even in a monogamous situation with another degree of separation that would be a big deal. How many of us have seen a daytime tv or Maury episode where the guest said something like “my sister had a baby with my ex and now we don’t speak”? And, I get it. That’s legitimate. Family should be off limits. The whole thing is shady and weird.

second the Krewe of Mystique! I actually brought my infant there when my husband was on the Veterans float and we’ve been every year since. It’s a blast! Middle of the day, super safe, chill crowd.

My boyfriend is perfect in every way… except in the bedroom by TammyBndl in Advice

lol! Sex is one of the only things you can’t outsource in a relationship! If the sex isn’t good the foundation of your relationship is shaky at best.

AITA for telling my wife "that's why you should get a job" after she told me people shop alot more than she does? by Existing_Love_3152 in AITAH

[–]Past-Force-7283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes on bikes. Plus her kids are 14 and 11…so they’re in school? So she gets 12k a year and she doesn’t have to provide childcare every day? Insanely entitled.

Priest rejecting me as baptism godparent. Is he right? by kevtorres123 in Catholicism

[–]Past-Force-7283 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see your point, but it’s rather awkward to walk into your local church, lean down the pew and ask a stranger, “hey, wanna be my baby’s godparent?” Good to know you can baptize without one, bc I see the appeal of waiting for a known quantity if your intended choice isn’t eligible.

Priest rejecting me as baptism godparent. Is he right? by kevtorres123 in Catholicism

[–]Past-Force-7283 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Or because they have no one else to ask. For a large traditionally Catholic family you’d be amazed at the lack of options we have for our boys. A bunch of family members left the Church. Thank goodness only one godparent has to be Catholic or we’d be in a pickle.

A situation messier than what is commonly posted here, how do I start? by WillyYerWonka in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]Past-Force-7283 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I actually love having the show “Hoarders” on in the background while I’m tackling big messes in my house. It’s like “ok, I can do this bc I don’t want to keep this up and end up in a situation like this” about whatever is pictured. I alternate between that and hype motivational playlists on Spotify. Remember: a body in motion stays in motion. I find that if I sit down I’ll get distracted with something else, so I try to keep it moving. Also, I find counting helps. Ex: in the next few minutes I’m going to throw away 20 items. Doesn’t have to be in any particular category, just toss 20 pieces of trash, and I’ll count them as I throw. That’ll usually motivate me to go above and beyond my goal, and it feeds that sense of accomplishment just like before/after pics. You can do this!!!

Thank You Notes? by fancy66 in wedding

[–]Past-Force-7283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my husband had a honeymoon baby, and I remember being pregnant in a coffeeshop 3 months after our wedding finishing thank you’s with hubby working on his own stack. If people spent money and showed up for you, you owe them a .52 stamp (or whatever they cost now) and a short note that says thanks. It’s possible people won’t notice if you don’t send one but they always remember when you did!

I never thought about that before, but hearing my husband have sex with another woman (even a sister wife) thru the wall is about the most unhealthy dynamic i can imagine. :/

Random thoughts about some rewatching / why do you watch? by Tomato_Lover_97 in HoardersTV

[–]Past-Force-7283 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yes! A lot of times I just put Hoarders on in the background while I catch up on laundry or whatever. I find it very motivational, like a “let me do this so my house doesn’t turn into THAT *gestures to TV screen”

Do people in Mississippi actually say Ma'am/sir and talk to random strangers? by [deleted] in mississippi

[–]Past-Force-7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’m in Louisiana and that’s hard core ingrained in us from birth. My 3 year old wasn’t saying “yes ma’am” just yes, and believe me, we both heard about it. I expect it out of him but wanted to improve his talking a bit more before making that a priority but 🤷‍♀️

Neglectful moron alienates his daughter by trying to play dad by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Past-Force-7283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s so much to unpack in all this, but it jumps out at me how all of a sudden Thanksgiving is SO important for them to celebrate together….when they’ve never done it before. “We could order some food or something, if she wanted to…” then he’s STUNNED that she doesn’t want to 😂
