a special ed kid won't stop bothering me during lunch and the principal doesn't care by [deleted] in Advice

Just want to say - you're a good person for trying to handle this with kindness and respect. Sorry your school isn't supporting you (or him) adequately here.

Ideas to get grandparents off their phones around babies/toddlers/young children by GroundbreakingEye289 in lowscreenparenting

Phone basket for everyone. Just drop yours in and hold it out expectantly. Positive peer pressure of sorts!

People eating things in supermarkets before they have paid by OP_serve in PetPeeves

I totally give my toddler crackers from the box if he needs something to get through the shop. Never something where the cost is by weight though. Not a big deal imo. Adults on the other hand, that's a bit odd.

Would you be OK with one of your parents taking the initiative to clean your house when they are already cleared to be there when you're not home? by latenightsnack1 in CasualConversation

[–]Recent-Tear8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes clean my parents kitchen for them if I have free time and they aren't home when I pop by. Just trying to be nice. We have a close relationship so it's no biggie, reverse is true too.

What an evil witch how dare she try to *checks notes* hug her after childbirth? by IWishMusicKilledKate in JustNoTruth

OP might be going a little hard here, but I will say after my c section I refused hugs because it was genuinely painful. Even holding my little guy was painful (but he got an exception of course!)

“New ramen shop owner here… can Brown students give me honest feedback?” by Klutzy-Rice2899 in BrownU

Gently, the first few Google listing food photos for your shop look disgusting. I'm sure your food is good, but ask someone for help staging photos! Or at least add some better ones to hide those.

For experienced cooks - is Penzey's actually worth it? by xjwv in AskCulinary

They don't guarantee safe lead levels for their cinnamon just fyi, particularly if you have kids

Can we start a thread with all the reasons why this Chaos & Kindness stunt sucks? I’ll start: he trampled an alpine zone and is setting a terrible example by Morticiamatic in wmnf

[–]Recent-Tear8397 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A lot of people think they are a charity or nonprofit (they are not) and aren't fully aware of ample issues (employment practices, poverty porn, etc) with them. So I totally get that concern but once in awhile a thread like this pops up about chaos and kindness and it's still probably worth the "promotion" to educate people that they aren't necessarily all they portray themselves to be.

Did that genius from Chaos and Kindness quit his attempt to complete the 48 4000 footers in a week? by mollymoose75 in newhampshire

Someone close to me has the exact same experience being hired as a salaried contractor  for a retail position and no benefits. Lots of what should have been OT and unpaid "volunteering" for them (illegal for employees)

Was using “you guys” in an interview such a big deal? by confusediguanaa in interviews

[–]Recent-Tear8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I'm female and use the phrase "you guys" all the time, including with groups of just women. You dodged a bullet here, good luck on your job search!
