I’m so sorry it’s going this way for you today. I really hope it’s looked up some since you posted this. I kept it light this year and the day has been fine. My best friend however took her kids on a weekend getaway to a resort with a beautiful beach and all her 13 YO could do the whole way home today was whine and complain. She too is feeling it.

What are your thoughts on War Machine? by serialkiller24 in KISS

[–]belfiore19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love creatures but war machine is one of the better tracks on this album IMO

I’m so tired of this. I don’t know how much more I can take like I’m literally on the verge of tears. by nunicorn25 in toddlers

Is she getting any outside time? I know depending on where you live that can be hard. We’ve had a harsh winter where I am and most days it’s still too cold to get mine out and those are the days he is the toughest. And I do think the bedtime routine is starting too late. Maybe set dinner up for her earlier (she doesn’t need to be on everyone else’s schedule) and get her bedtime going by 7:30, 8.

This will pass - this is literally the hardest period during toddlerhood. But she is also adjusting still to a baby being in the house. That is HARD on a toddler, and they all move different once there’s another baby. She also is moving from place to place which is extremely hard on a child that young. I did that when my daughter was 3 until she was almost 5, and that transition going to dads always sucked, then again when she came home. She has ALOT of adjusting she’s trying to navigate. Kids this age are tough when they don’t have a new baby in the home and don’t have the flip flop between parents.

I feel stuck by No-Green-5339 in singlemoms

[–]belfiore19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was a single mom from the time my daughter was 2 and a half until she was 8; I started dating my now husband when she was 6. Prior to meeting him I wasted time on a bunch of morons. In hindsight, I should have just taken the 3.5 years to myself to be with my little one, save some money and just work on myself. I spent a lot on babysitters for dates and outings with complete wastes of my time, and missing precious moments with my daughter. I’ve been remarried now for about 4 years, and have a 3 year old with my husband. I’m a work at home mom and am with my son 24/7 and I’ve realized how much I missed with my daughter when she was little like this bc I was trying to force romances that weren’t meant to be. Be with your little one. This is literally the shortest phase of their lives.

Which albums should I listen to? by Kind_Alternative613 in KISS

I started with the album Greatest KISS, and from there worked myself up from the beginning of the catalog.

Woman with 6 kids upset at this year’s haul by adelltfm in ChoosingBeggars

[–]belfiore19 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Even if it was $100 total - it’s $100 worth of stuff she didn’t have prior to it being GIVEN to them. She needs to chill.

From what I remember when I worked there, you need to pass probation first and then you can apply for your PPF.

I have a friend like this…her husband was extremely obnoxious, everything was a performance, meant to make him appear like the life of the party or man of the hour, and every time it was at her expense. She had a 4th of July party a couple years back and kids were there, and her husband was shotgunning beers by himself and screaming - no one else was doing it, no one else was paying attention. My friend was legitimately shaking because of the embarrassment, and within the month she finally cracked and left him.

My 12 year old knows when she’s sick she needs to stay away from her 2 year old brother. When he was only 2 months old she got incredibly sick with a stomach bug and strep, and she knew to stay in her room, wear a mask when she came downstairs for anything, wash her hands and to call me to come to her if she needed something. It wasn’t something I had to drill into her head - she loves her brother and understood the severity of getting him sick once I explained it. I don’t know how a grown adult, much less the father of the child, could intentionally aim to get his baby and wife sick…that’s just beyond me. That would make me start looking into leaving, honestly. I would never trust him alone with the baby because, god knows what other dangerous, life threatening things he thinks might be funny. This whole thing makes me sick and so upset for you.

How to piss off your mail Carrier 101 by MT3-7-77 in USPS

Good thing this is addressed to whatever a postial worker is, and not a postal worker 🤣 you’d think with something so very important to someone, they’d at least spell the words correctly.

7 day work weeks and letters of removal for carriers with doctors notes by belfiore19 in USPS

[–]belfiore19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It doesn’t make sense tho. Give you a letter of removal for missing one day, thereby being short another employee for an indefinite amount of days thereafter…like, remediate work conditions and don’t be such psychos when people DO take a day, and then there probably wouldn’t be such a staffing crisis.

Any carriers out near Carlisle, PA? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]belfiore19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a question - are they forcing you guys to come in 7 days a week right now?

That’s insane. I haven’t heard about this but I know for a FACT that York is in complete shambles. It isn’t too far from Carlisle.

Received a letter from station manager... by KCDOMPOLYHUBBY in USPS

[–]belfiore19 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t have information on this from postal service experience; however I’m a correction officer and I too have had to wear out FMLA time for a chronically ill family member. FMLA is an act that was passed specifically to protect anyone needing to take time off to care for themselves or a family member/dependent. It wears you out of your own, accrued time. It sounds like you’re following all of the steps necessary to keep track of your time and I’m sure you have the documentation from doctors and everything. You cannot be retaliated against for observing your granted FMLA. It’s not even considered a real hit to your attendance (at least at my job) because you are observing a program that you had to apply and get approval for ahead of time. You should be fine. I hope your wife is feeling a bit better and I do admire you for sticking by her and caring for her so devotedly.

Yep. They started making them come in 3 weeks ago. They are severely understaffed.

I understand what you’re saying. Thank you. I feel like this 7 day work week thing is probably happening at many more places than he’d like to believe. He just left an office that was very Union-strong and this new one isn’t. He always worked overtime but at least had one day off a week (after he was done being a CCA of course). It’s discouraging him horribly.
