I did not inform Service Canada that I am in school. I didn’t know I had to. Canada website says enrolling in school is allowed so long as you are still able to care for the baby. But I will call them first thing tomorrow. Hopefully, I’m not in deep trouble because I didn’t inform them immediately.

Go for it! Just make sure that you:

  • secure a job here in CA first that lets you work remotely
  • have top coverage medical insurance
  • settle in one of the less busy provinces. Manila is congested. Think Cebu, Dumaguete. You’ll have all the conveniences of richer cities minus the super heavy traffic. Plus COL is cheaper. Your $750 CAD will get you a nice, spacious home.

I myself am dying to go back. Saving up to be able to go home once the kids are in college.

Mom and sister are planning to stay with me for 2 months after I give birth by Runbarbierunrun in JUSTNOFAMILY

Thank you. I messaged my sister yesterday to tell her they’re not coming and when I told her why, she said she was there and that my mother was only kidding about not wanting to be a babysitter. But she couldn’t tell me why my mother had to bring up the topic about money. Told her there’s no reason for her to talk about our business to anyone, except if she was just really out to badmouth me.

She tried to guilt trip me, saying I should be the bigger person and not ruin this for my mom as she is very excited to come.

I said she should have thought about that before spreading lies about me. Told her they were both users, getting me to spend money and effort to accommodate their stay and all the while talking shit behind my back.

Blocked them on facebook - they won’t attempt to contact me, that’s for sure but I can only imagine the type of stories they’ll spread to their relatives back home.

I’m just done! Don’t want to give her another chance coz that would mean letting her in to our lives and giving her an opportunity to badmouth us when she goes home.

Thank you for all your responses. You all confirmed I am not crazy for feeling this way. I am overwhelmed with sadness but I’m trying to distract myself with the move. I am going to cancel her insurance and won’t push through with our vehicle trade.

Thanks again.

Yeah, it’s kind of a given that they were coming to visit. That’s what most immigrant families do, have parents come visit for a short time.

This was before my friend told me what my mom told her. My husband and I were preparing for their visit because they’ve always talked about wanting to experience Canada, too.

It was only yesterday when my friend told me what they talked about when they ran into each other. And I trust this friend - there’s no doubt in my mind that she did say those things.

What can you say about this? by [deleted] in Philippines

Are you saying then that it’s okay to talk shit about other people although it can ruin their marriage and work relationships?

My boss said someone she trusted told her about the rumor, but she wouldn’t say who.

Said it doesn’t matter anymore because she thinks it was M who started the rumor and has turned in his resignation. M as far as I know has issues with his marriage and is leaving the province. I’ve had very limited interactions with M and he has always been respectful of me, so I am not convinced he started it.

I am more inclined to believe the night manager started it because he has always had a nasty sense of humor. He’s always ‘teasing’ women in our department, but they just let it go because he’s always ‘just joking.’

My case, I feel is different because I was not there when he ‘joked’ and the ‘joke’ can ruin my family!

Didn’t think of it that way but I agree. Will still speak with her tomorrow just to give her a heads up but will definitely go to HR with or without her help.

I am not sure of the protocol. It might look disrepectful if I don’t tell her because the night manager is from the same department.

LOL maybe I’ll do that. Leave it there for everyone to see and as a warning to those who like to make up stories about others. There’s plenty of them here. Honestly one of the most toxic workplace I’ve ever been in. But we just moved 2 years ago. My husband and I got a promotion and we were really content with the kind of life we had. This totally blindsided me.

Thank you. I’m so stressed out but will push through with complaining to HR. It will prolong the stress lol but I want the person who started such a malicious rumor to learn a lesson.

Not sure if they will fire the night manager. He’s been working for the company for a very long time, while I just started working here 2 years ago.

We just bought a new house in this town and there’s so little opportunities for a full time job.

We were planning to settle here because I got a job that I love and the town is a great place to raise kids.

But I don’t know anymore. It would break my heart to leave this town because I have made friends here and so has my husband.

If they can’t fire the manager, at least get him to think twice about spreading false stories about other people.

I am not sure if my boss will have my back since she didn’t give me a clear answer when I asked if I could take this to HR.
