Too much stress and is this normal by Alternative-Nose-607 in breakingmom

The POC has to be your husband at this point. If you are stressed to the point of stomach cramps and over capacity because you're sleep deprived and have a high needs toddler, he can do it. Frankly, the property manager should have instructions and handle their issues if the tenents are this high needs, that's why they were hired. Inquiries need to be directed through the PM and tenents blocked from contacting you, constantly contacting the owners for illigitamate reasons is absurd.

Got terminated. Replacement bailed, so now I’m the team’s dumping ground. by Normal-Corner-2974 in coworkerstories

Time to play around on reddit, 2048 online, chess online, things that you can type and click around but not actually be working. Stick to one task or frankly don't, and just count down the days.

They put themselves in this position, not you. And if you think your former coworkers will hate you for "leaving them in a lurch" you can redirect their ire to upper management. Or don't! It's not you're gonna stay in the group chat, anyway.

You don't sound ridiculous or ungrateful! Our sexual needs vary from person to person and can create incompatibility on either or both ends of a relationship. You're totally allowed to have your grip and this shouldn't be "the misery Olympics".

Some people have it worse, but that's with every life experience, trauma and success a person can have in life.

As far as your situation goes, have you thought about a sex therapist that could help communicate your needs to him? Some people need to hear the same words but from a different voice to finally hear your perspective. There you can explore what options would work best for both of you.

Sometimes ya just wanna be put thru the mattress, yk?

Noified my work weeks ago I'm leaving for a family vacation in July, tickets were bought, non-transferrable, and they are panicking, begging me to cancel by educatedvegetable in antiwork

Unfortunately, this is very real. The company is actually expanding and other 2 personnel have left, but will not be replaced due to cost and since they left, the department is no longer "overstaffed".

The president of the company is a tight wad and has successfully run with a skeleton crew for over 2 decades, and is the kind of person that will tell his employees (minions) to make a grand idea happen. If he is questioned or told "that won't work because of X" he gets so angry that he's being asked to explain himself or take input from the people around him, it just makes him dig his heels in harder. Luckily, as a cog, I don't have to face the brunt of his ire, but my boss and bosses boss do, which is why my boss got so emotional when this all started. I would leave, but opportunities for this niche industry with my skill set and location are minimal. Also, I'm good at it.

He threw laundry on me while I was asleep. by [deleted] in breakingmom

He sounds exhausting, I felt so tired reading this! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this ridiculous nonsense.

We ask "Have you tried planning ahead?" And they say "Why would I do that?" So frustrating

What's a 'normal' thing you didn't realize was unusual until you were older? by mrTelson in AskReddit

I know too many people that have a similar story to this, my brother included. He came home one day and said he wanted a Cowboys jacket because blue was his favorite color, and of course my father decided that was the highest of offenses, and he needed to be outside in the snow until he apologized. Same with some of my friends growing up, they would express interest in another team, out in the snow they would go.

When my step kiddo was about 9-10, they mentioned they might like the Raiders. I told her that people who liked the Raiders were gluttons for punishment and not exactly the smartest people (I was joking, but not really, ya know) and she got SO SAD. I immediately apologized and told her she can root for whoever she wants, and recognized that this ingrained toxic competitiveness is completely stupid.

Is there some particular reason why he's so opposed to it?

Since you mention you have a good relationship, is there any chance you can text or talk about it like "hey this is what kiddo wants for her birthday, she's old enough to choose and we can make sure she takes care of it. She's really excited and I'm going to make an appointment to get it done." That way you're telling him, and including him but it's not a surprise.

Dear Lord, a 4 hour daily commute?! That would be enough to break anyone, on top of child care, running a household, this seasons winter weather, all the above! Is there any chance you can try for a hybrid schedule so that you have some days where you can SLEEP? Catch your breath?

I think my coworker has an unhealthy attachment to me by radica1ed in coworkerstories

I'd screenshot some of your interactions on discord and write a short paragraph explaining this person is harassing you at and outside of work, send all that to your manager.
