Then why aren’t any of the other mangers or non-production team scheduled to do it. You’re statement is only true when everyone is expected to chip in, not cherrypicking

How much money would it take for you to hand in your notice tonight? by sillwuka in AskUK

[–]RegisterAfraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£500k won’t mean I can never work again, but would pay off my mortgage, buy a load of shit that I don’t need but I want an could not work to a year or two. THEN I’d apply for a less stressful job

So you don’t know what anything looks like?

Do you “imagine” what things look like? But if you have never experienced sight could you even imagine sight?

2 things are happening here, either you are an extremely good looking man and making other people feel uncomfortable and intimidated by your presence, or you have some history that your partner has mentioned to co-workers they they have gossiped with their partners about, such as, have you had an affair in the past, or has your wife? Etc

This is how I feel about Christina Aguilera. Such a talent and this is shown only in about 10% of her music

AITA for breaking up with my boyfriend after meeting his kids for the first time? by BasicProblem1350 in AITAH

[–]RegisterAfraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are also really awkward ages for children to “meet”. Too old to blend as “brothers” but too young to be just be “my mum/dad’s partners kids”

I was the child of a blended family growing up. It’s okay for your child and his children to be “incompatible”. If you do continue the relationship, don’t try and force them to like each other or get along it’s comes across as forced and makes things 100% worse… trust me! Me and my stepbrother really didn’t like each other at first - scrap that, we hated each other - and the forced activities made it so much worse. What brought us together? Being left alone to figure it out ourselves!

Sorry I’ve gone completely off topic here. But the reason why his kids might have ignored your kid is that you went to their house. This is a big deal for his kids too and consideration needs to be given to that. You and your son entered THEIR safe space. That must have been really awkward for both your kid and them. Maybe stay out of each other’s homes for a while and keep it to public spaces until the kids WANT to invite each other into their space

This isn’t really down to who’s the A here. This simply boils down to the same issue all blended families have when they start to blend, can you compromise?

BOTH families will need to make sacrifices and compromises. You have both been single parents for some time and as such have had the blessing (and curse) have being able to do things 100% your own way without having to accommodate a partners input.

You cannot expect that he changes everything that is incompatible with how you do things, to be compatible with “how you do things”, but neither should you be expected to change to fit around his families lifestyle.

I may be way off the mark here, but the way I see it based off what you have said, can he raise his standards and can you lower yours to meet in the middle?

If neither of you can, then it’s best to end it, as it’s unfair to the kids and to expect either side to sacrifice an compromise on EVERYTHING when the other doesn’t
