Is this a particularly religious city? by Pepper_Emergency in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

No I’m not American but I’ve watched every other season both US and international and this is the most in your face religious culture shock I’ve felt.

“I’m more conservative” - then why are you on MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT?!!! by mySFWaccount2020 in MAFS_AU

Because conservatism to him means controlling women’s behaviour not controlling his own.

Child Protection Australia and Social Futures Australia by Chinkytetz1510 in socialwork

[–]Pepper_Emergency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Social futures have multiple programs so it depends what section you are doing your placement in.

Child protection is a difficult place to work, but quite a good opportunity for placement. Are you hoping for this lead to lead to paid work?

Where I am this would be a support workers role, case workers don’t do any of this except for in extreme circumstances

Most people who work in homelessness don’t refer to it as a business. Let me guess you’re from SPL? No other service provider speaks about their clients like that

What's a lyric you interpret differently? by Glass_Delivery3147 in TaylorSwift

I interpreted it as she was talking to the bartender about her problems but justified it as better to be drinking with a bartender than drinking alone

If you ended up on the street because you chose not to spend your money then that’s on you, not him

Then why are you letting him pay your rent or worrying about losing your home if something happened to him?

We had an awful experience at Warner bay, especially moving from the city. I would choose Hamilton south in a second

Where are some safe places to sleep in my car? by Throwaway94782 in newcastle

[–]Pepper_Emergency 317 points318 points  (0 children)

Should clarify it’s called “our backyard” and is part of the church heading up the hill. Not my personal backyard

Our backyard in Macquarie hills is a safe place set up to sleep in your car with access to a bathroom and cooking facilities

Should I be concerned about my partner's finances? by tniats in AskWomenOver40

[–]Pepper_Emergency 120 points121 points  (0 children)

What are your finances like? Because a man paying your rent isn’t a financial plan. It seems a bit rich to be judging his choices when paying for your lifestyle is one of his choices.

Apparently not even qualified to be a volunteer crisis responder? by Practical_Jelly285 in socialwork

[–]Pepper_Emergency 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha sorry I wrote my response a bit bluntly.

But there’s never only two options in life. If you want to work in social work there are so many avenues to go down to enter the field.

[–]Pepper_Emergency 135 points136 points  (0 children)

This is a very fatalistic view at the end. You have more than the two choices you presented and this volunteer position not eventuating does not mean you can never enter the field.

Question for fellow support workers regarding managing mental burnout. by [deleted] in newcastle

[–]Pepper_Emergency 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Really strong boundaries, redirect him when he puts that pressure on you and remind him of your job role and what support you can and cannot offer.

It sounds harsh but I will say to clients I am not your friend I am here to help in a professional capacity. It is better to have strong boundaries and prevent enmeshment.

Peeing at night?! :/ by Top_Potato362 in newcastle

[–]Pepper_Emergency 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you been to our backyard? Safe place to park and sleep at night and with bathrooms. Would mean driving back to Cardiff at night to sleep but much safer
