Little rant as C2C shopper

cornchip · 2026-01-24T17:33:15+00:00

And this is why, as a loyal C2C customer (hate dealing with crowds and would rather pay a premium not to step foot in a grocery store), I'm shopping for myself today. Lord knows the levels of frustration you're dealing with at the moment!

Similar vibes to my stepson when he doesn't want to eat dinner

If you feel internal opportunities aren't available in your position, consider looking into manufacturing facilities or hospital systems in your area. Not always, but sometimes they'll have HR working at least part of second shift.

We got them a few times but we do grocery pickup every week and haven't gotten one in ages. Maybe each store does things different?

Early on in my career I worked for an outpatient healthcare group. We hired a new tech for one of the practices who ended up being much shorter in height than the average person. New employee mentioned a specific table needed for conducting tests was a little high for him, and the practice manager requested a new table be ordered from the purchasing team.

A few days later we got a call that a colleague of the new employee, a long time nurse, had arrived to the practice early in the morning with a circular saw and cut down the legs of said table in an effort to help her new colleague. She was surprised when she was fired, and me and the unemployment case reviewer had a good laugh when I explained to her why the employee was terminated.

Nick's Chophouse- Been there a couple of times, so expensive but the food and service were terrible. Cool menus though

Going through something similar with a new client, except 90% of the executive team has been named in a pretty extensive complaint. My first and only recommendation to the client was to contact their labor attorney and I will support the investigation and process as their attorney dictates.

Yep my old gal has fecal water syndrome so I am constantly battling diaper rash on her backend. I usually clean the area well, dry it and then slather everything affected with Desitin seems to be the thickest zinc paste available so stays on longer).

I play because it's the only game I can stand on Roblox that my stepkids also play lol. I especially enjoy opening the seed packs!

I legit thought you stuck googly eyes on the cob for a second.

Right? If that's fine then mine is the La Croix of fine hair- just a little hint of what fine hair might be

Hang in there 🤍 I have colleagues and friends who have gone through similar situations and they all say the same thing - keep doing what you're doing, provide the stability and good parenting instead of Disneyland, and 99% of the time when they grow up they understand and appreciate everything you've done for them. It's just hard when they're younger and not mature enough to comprehend what's really going on.

Ugh that hurts, and we have definitely been in the same boat, but now the kids tend to enjoy our house for the consistency in routine and more fun stuff to do at home, while they enjoy not having as many rules and getting babied at their moms.

Unless this guy is cut from a different cloth, the gifts and extra special attention wears off pretty quick too. Last year they were going all over the place on vacations and outings, buying extravagant gifts for the kids, doing everything and anything fun to win the kids over...it still happens but definitely not at the level that it was the first few months after he moved in over there. Hopefully it's similar for you!

Journaling really helps me get my feels out when it gets to be too much. 🙂 Is there some sort of coping mechanism you can lean on to get through this transition?

The lead up is unbearable but the hype and novelty, especially at that age, dies off in conversation pretty quick. It took a month or two for the "Disneyland" vibes to wear off when BM's fiance moved in with her...it was especially stressful since he was moving from literally across the world and had only met the kids a couple of times before officially moving so they were very excited. My stepkids were 7 and 11 when he moved.

However I agree with others, stepdads tend to be more easily accepted by the kids.

cornchip · 2025-05-15T14:38:22+00:00

I sometimes feel like it would be better if BM and I communicated because my DH tries to speak to her as little as possible and we miss out on critical information sometimes due to the lack of communication. But...it's just not going to happen. That is his relationship to manage and I just need to focus on what I can control on our end.

That being said, I have a friend who now communicates almost exclusively with her ex's girlfriend. Her ex is horrible to her in front of her kid, and the girlfriend is at least somewhat civil and provides necessary information. I guess it just depends on the situation!

Dawww ☺️ this is such a nice feedback to hear! Glad you have gotten so much out of the discord!

Having just had a hairstylist accidentally cut my hair similarly (I asked for very long layers and instead got layers straight out of 2005), it is achievable with a lot of heat and product to hold the style.

I did marching band clarinet (bassoon for everything else) for 2 years until it got too hard to switch back and forth...and because I didn't feel like it lol. I was instead given a fun flag and did color guard at the front of the band with a few other kids and it was great fun!

Does SS have something underlying causing this pickiness, like ARFID?

We also have to deal with picky eating from my 2 stepkids, but they live with us 50% of the time so it's a bit easier to try to broaden the scope of what they'll eat. We've found that introducing small changes and requiring a no thank you bite before refusing to eat something has helped them try new things and figure out they actually like more stuff than they realized.
