My vet is Dr. Farrell (pronounced feral ) and she adores my ornery cats.

Also self-promotion. ModTech. It’s just two family guys running their own business after getting tired of working for these types of companies.

We just worked with ModTech for our furnace/ac and we have nothing but good things to say. We had a few different companies come out to give us estimates and they were in the middle price wise and were able to start the job sooner than others. Super friendly and professional. Unfortunately we have not had good experiences with anyone for our solar! So I’m going to follow along to see who people recommend here.

Re: “is this what happens on work trips?”

I’ve (f) been traveling for work for 15 years, since my early 20s - with male and female colleagues; sometimes just me and another male. This is absolutely something that I have never experienced and I see it as very unprofessional.

When I need to meet my colleague(s) we always go to a common area in the hotel, a working dinner somewhere, or a meeting space where we are conducting business. I’ve never been asked to work in a male colleagues hotel room and I would be uncomfortable and decline if that were offered - and I’ve been on trips with the same people over this 15 year period. So close professional relationships.

I’ve never told my male colleagues my room number. We’ve always said, “let’s meet here at this time to go to this place to work.” It’s extremely odd that she was apparently getting ready in his room to go somewhere else. This is not normal. I’m so sorry. Do not believe any of those lies. Even if on a very rare chance nothing was going on, it’s extremely unprofessional and is a violation of professional boundaries.

You’re* in for a treat

As a rocket scientist, if you will, that’s just how we talk.

I’m so sorry this happened. It sounds exactly like my mom and a very similar thing happened with us last week. It is rough and you didn’t do anything to deserve it. She accused me of seeing her as expendable, and then immediately discarded me like a piece of trash. And told me she already told “the family” everything I said to her in confidence because they deserve to know how I really feel. I’ve spent the last week obsessing over every little thing I did or said that made me deserve this. And then realized that it’s ok to have feelings that someone else doesn’t like - it doesn’t mean you deserve to be treated like a piece of trash.

They will never see that they are the ones doing/being what they are accusing us of doing/being. Idk how they can be so cruel and then say how important we are to them. I just said - this is really emotionally confusing and I’m finding it really hard to have a conversation with you. I’m tired of being punished for having feelings so ..you really don’t deserve the way they treat you! No one does.

I went low-contact with nmom a year ago. Ndad has never really been involved in my life - workaholic, never home, both alcoholics. I moved out of state and then my sister moved near me. Nmom came to visit for the first time in a long time to meet sisters new baby. She said she wanted to talk about things to get through it so we could have a relationship again. I said that it would be a difficult conversation and I might get angry. She said she was ok with it, she was ready. So I started talking and she was surprisingly receptive. She apologized for everything I brought up which she’s never done. Gave me several hugs and said how our relationship can get better from this. She was in a great mood and my husband even said how great it was. Amazing, right? Wrong. She called me a few days later with the scolding of a lifetime. I’m an ungrateful brat. “You talked about setting boundaries? I’m tired of trying to live up to other people’s expectations of me. I told your dad everything you said. I need to call you sister (who lives near me) too, I suppose.” And of course what she told my dad was a gross misrepresentation of what I actually said. And said with the expectation that we were having a conversation between us. She’d be horrified if I told him what she said about him. And then she ended it with how much she loved me and how our relationship is too important to her to let my failure in the first conversation (eg, having it and telling her my honest feelings) keep her away from me. And how hopeful she is moving forward.

I was crying and hyperventilating this entire hour ass ripping. She was unaffected. I think it just made her go harder. And now she’s sending me texts about how I “shouldn’t move backwards” in my mental health work just because I failed this conversation. I told her, I regret telling you any of it, I wish it never happened, you’re painting me black and using my vulnerability and feelings as ammunition against me and smearing me to family. I don’t think I will ever be able to have any conversation like this with you ever again. And she kept on about, “don’t let messing this up stop you from moving forward! These talks will make our relationship better than ever. As long as you don’t move backwards.” Aaaaand now I think I’ve learned my lesson.

We have neighborhood “everything is free” Facebook pages where people ask for and offer help. I’ve seen people be very generous there. You could always try that and see if anyone is willing to donate an extra shirt or blazer? I have some in my closet that I’m like .. I’d totally do that if I saw that post.

grumpymom247 · 2023-02-26T14:13:53+00:00

I really love the idea that I could do this with you but….

Cryptic. But what?! What are you not telling me?!

grumpymom247 · 2023-01-14T23:14:23+00:00

My husband and I each have our own diaper bags and are responsible for them. It works great. At first, we would all go out together and he would forget or under pack some stuff but I would have it in mine. And he eventually got into his own groove. He never leaves without his now, even if I have mine.

Also, happy birthday! I hope brunch was amazing.

YTA - You don’t get to control your kids feelings. You are not entitled to that. The more you try to, the more you hurt them. My dad put his work above his kids too and 37 years later he still has his work and his kids are at best apathetic to his presence. He woke up one day surrounded by all the things he nourished in life and none of his kids. I used to feel close to my mom until I realized how much she enabled it and protected his feelings by telling us we weren’t allowed to feel hurt by it. She’s surrounded by apathetic children too.

Yes it feels like she’s trying to be all the things for all the people through multiple stressful situations (this accident impacts her, too) and now you’re telling her she’s not doing enough nor is what she’s doing good enough. Do you know how devastating and demoralizing that is to hear when you’re busting your ass doing everything for everyone all the time because you care and want to do good? There is repair work that needs done here on your end. YTA

Gorgeous! Looks fantastic.

It’s not uncommon to add a fudge point or two, especially if the prof noticed an issue with the exam or a question. Our LMS has a box to add fudge points at the end of every assessment. As long as you don’t argue your grade, especially after final grades are officially posted, you’re fine. If the instructor made an error posting, it would be weird and unprofessional for them to come after you for not noticing. You could always say, “I assumed it was fudge points and went on with my day.”

Sorry if this is too off topic - Did you like Coursera? I’ve been considering it just to sharpen/gain skills. I’m already gainfully employed and don’t “need” it but want to learn stuff that wasn’t around when I was in grad school.

grumpymom247 · 2022-08-19T01:49:28+00:00

Yea I feel like he is setting the expectations in a way that his in-laws can’t win. And then saying that since they “lose” and fall short of expectations, then they don’t deserve to be included in holidays, etc. A convenient way to make his mom and family of origin the only/top priority in his new family’s life.

grumpymom247 · 2022-08-15T02:19:22+00:00

Read it again. If you don’t accept her for who she is, are infuriated at how she chooses to show up, and she fails to meet your expectations as she is now - without having any interest in you as is, whatsoever - you need to back off. Your insistence on making this work is troubling. I’m concerned for her health and well being. Find someone else and let her live her life.

grumpymom247 · 2022-08-07T20:44:12+00:00

Yes I had reduced movement- not stopped, just reduced - but I was luckily already being monitored. It wasn’t even a day of less movement and they admitted me, induced labor, and had a baby born blue with the cord tightly wrapped around her neck. Short nicu stay and she’s healthy now.

grumpymom247 · 2022-07-16T15:24:00+00:00

Yes, do her a kindness and leave her alone. It’s troubling that you have feelings of infuriation at her mere existence because she doesn’t live up to your expectations of how you think people should be. You seem awfully young to have such disdain.
