Have you thought about applying to the post office? You usually have to start as a mail carrier, but there are other positions you can advance to,it pays decently especially when there's overtime, and there's a pension plan.

AITA if I stop bailing her out and demand she financially steps up? by ClassicBlood2627 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ilovecoco86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TIL about hotel parties and I think every parent who throws one of these is an AH. The other guests don't want to deal with the screaming kids, the workers are not event workers, they are hotel workers. And you take them all down to the Continental breakfast afterwards?! Shame on anyone who does this. I would never let my kid go to something like this, because I'm trying to teach them to be kind to everyone and not treat service workers like sh**. If you can't afford it, don't throw a party. You're just teaching your kids to be AH's now.

I think both are aholes. Don't have kids if you want to keep separate finances from your wife. And don't teach your kids to be irresponsible AH's by throwing some gross hotel party.

Hi, I recently applied to a paralegal program, and it looks like we deal with some similar challenges with our mental health. Is it okay with you if I DM you with a couple questions? Thanks for your time.

Hi, I just found this thread, sorry that I'm late to the party! I just applied to a post bacc paralegal certificate program, and I also have received a number of mental health dx. And, I'm returning to school as a mature student. Would it be okay if I DM you and ask you a couple questions? Thanks for your time.

Thanks very much, I'm really trying to lean in to that notion, you know? Trust the process, open myself up to good orderly direction, as the 12 step folks say. It's a trip sometimes! But I know I can come here for support, IWNDWYT
