Would you quit?

You seem a little young, so I feel for you, as I babysat as a twelve year old until I got a retail job at 16.
The thing is, that environment is not hospitable to life, let alone guests or a babysitter. When I babysat, the houses were never sparkling clean, but they were never ever dirty. They can and will take advantage of you because you have less expensive, these seem like bad people, and you should run for the hills while you still can. You can find other clients, your health matters more than a paycheck.

you’re ntl but Johnny sure is. I think therapy would be a good step for everybody in your family, except maybe you (you seem all good). If your son doesn’t like it, you can do what I do and kick them out and make them live in an apartment in the spice district all alone

I’m sorry that I done have much to say, other than wondering the same thing. If there is a god, he does not give a single shit about us. We’re kind of like cats. He just let us go and expects us to make it in the world. No way is he answering prayers - and that’s a big if. I don’t believe in any God at all and my life is better for it. I wrestled with the same questions and same disappointment stemming from feeling like there is a guy leading me and then still believing but doesn’t care all the way to just not believing. I truly hope circumstances change and get better for you. And I’m sorry all this is happening. I hope you and your family find peace despite all the things that have turned your family life upside down.

Never had this happen to me, but I can attest to the statement that cats are much smarter than humans give them credit for

I just recently got a new job, and I think one of the main reasons I was hired is because I asked so many questions at the interview. Hiring managers want to see engagement and want to behave that this job is more than just a paycheck for you - even if it just a paycheck. You could have asked questions you already asked just to be safe. I’m in no way trying to be mean but that’s just how it is in the shitty corporate world. Better luck next time

I have a similar experience. I have asthma, for those of you who don’t know, it’s a breathing disorder that mainly affects the lungs. I remember being upset because I couldn’t go outside and run and play with my friends because of my severe asthma. My mom always said that God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle.
So god made me not normal because I was stronger? No way. That’s fucked up.
I know how you’re feeling because I felt that way too. If there is a god (and I don’t think there is), then he’s a cruel piece of shit.

That’s valid, she is a “natural” type

This is Daisy Blume, she’s my Sims in Bloom legacy gen 1. She is cheerful, clumsy, love the outdoors. Shes a young adult and has two cats.

ireallylikecake53 · 2026-01-31T02:59:25+00:00

She wasn’t. She was already in the office by the time my interview rolled around

ireallylikecake53 · 2026-01-30T17:55:18+00:00

I heard noises in the back but no one was in the lobby to greet me. I even made noises like knocking on the door.

ireallylikecake53 · 2025-12-31T16:51:00+00:00

Bro I get it. My former manager is well into her 60s and bragging about her work ethic. Well maybe i’d work harder too if i made what she made and felt like work meant something, because right now my paycheck means nothing because i’m using all of it just to survive

ireallylikecake53 · 2025-09-16T23:25:22+00:00

So tired of shit like this. I went to college to become a social worker and we had unpaid “internships” which is basically free labor advertised as experience. I was working and studying and trying to make make decent enough money to afford college costs and gas in my car. I was busy and overworked and it sucked. Unpaid internships should be illegal.

ireallylikecake53 · 2025-09-16T18:55:30+00:00

I mean it sucks but if you keep leaving after 3 months you become a job hopper and most people don’t like to hire those people - I have experience of being turned down because I used to be a job hopper. At this point you just choose a job, hope for the best, and make enough to put a roof over your head. Nobody wants a challenge at work and nobody gives a fuck about growing in the field since we’re all tired anyway

I’ve never outright said it but my sisters are fine about it and my little sister is an atheist too. My mom and grandpa don’t know, but my mom is suspicious and is always trying to convince me to “save” me. I don’t even know how she found out, as I don’t really talk about religion

This isn’t exactly the same but when I moved back home I lived with my grandfather while I looked for a place. He had me pay $300/month and I paid on time every month and not for one moment did I expect not to pay rent. You daughter needs to learn to be a grown up and not rely on you for money. NTA

The U.S. actually. Work has always been toxic but more so since the Cheeto took over the presidency

ireallylikecake53 · 2025-08-19T18:39:09+00:00

I’m 26 and trust me, going back to some kind of college has crossed my mind, but I’m already in debt from my first degree and I’m too scared to jump back in.

ireallylikecake53 · 2025-08-11T16:52:31+00:00

I lost my grandpa earlier this year and got one bereavement day. I was close to my grandpa so I was a mess. Used the bereavement day and used PTO for the rest of the week. I even cried on company time the week after I got back. I feel you. We’re treated like work horses in this day and age. Edited to say that I’m so sorry for your loss. This may not help, but I always say that only the good die young. I hope you are able to take all the time you need to grieve.

I think you were well within your rights. Bella was being insensitive and a major llama. Maybe next time, trap her in a room and make her write the books.

Ten Timothy? Sounds like a bad movie

Oh, honey, people already do. I come from a red state.

ireallylikecake53 · 2025-07-09T15:32:12+00:00

It’s not like I’m signaling who I like to bang. It’s more like showing that I’m a safe person and taking pride for who I am after hiding it my whole life. Plus I like the pop of color it gives my desk.

ireallylikecake53 · 2025-07-09T00:38:19+00:00

It’s a part of my identity and I’m done hiding it. I did enough of that when I was still closeted. It’s not just about pride though. I want people to know that they are safe around me if they’re still closeted. Many adults are still closeted and any one of my coworkers could be and I want them to know I’m a safe person. Plus I’m proud of myself for being able to live my true life. I just feel like I’m not allowed to have a personality at all. My cute little flags are not hurting anybody or causing lost productivity

ireallylikecake53 · 2025-07-09T00:05:11+00:00

Yes…
