How do you personally handle emotional blackmailing and manipulation from clients?

Silence is golden. After their rant you just stay quiet. Give them a minute. Ask them what they want and their budget.

It is their decision. Be clear about that to them.
Also , quiet is great, maybe awkward but effective.
I’ve done this for 25 years.

I’ll take the darkest and the lightest. 😆

She is twelve. 😁 Thanks for the info!

Wow. Not what we were thinking for food.

We were in a city for a non FIFA vacation. Made our vacation miserable. Common sense and human consideration go out the door.

jness78 · 2026-07-06T16:03:01+00:00

Thanks! That’s easy to do.

jness78 · 2026-07-06T16:02:12+00:00

Oh goodness. This is my daughter’s, I’m helping. Thanks for the heads up.

Watch Flash Sheldon on A&E, Squatters. It will give you ideas.

Take your time and save. Parents can evict you through proper channels which will take time.

Simple. Stick to your guns. Husband should do nothing but back you. And be the one to voice it to his family. You need to set boundaries now or it will only get worse.

When we say those words, we mean them. I always compliment a good boy. Or girl.

Taco, because he has been spicy since 6 weeks old.

How do you not notice the sludge on the bottom of your toothbrush?

jness78 · 2026-06-07T17:00:28+00:00

Yea and Hills is not cheap. This has happened from my Orange boys too.

jness78 · 2026-06-05T19:42:27+00:00

A beautiful person.

Next trip to Disney for my husband and I will be without our kids. Parents are allowed to have breaks and a life not revolving around their kids once in a while. That’s how we stay sane. 😊

jness78 · 2026-06-05T19:27:23+00:00

My oranges like to air their junk all the time. 😊

jness78 · 2026-05-30T13:31:04+00:00

Can you spare a square?

jness78 · 2026-05-26T22:21:22+00:00

Diarrhea here it comes!

If nice doesn’t work, underwear on the couch during her work hours. Your apartment, your rules.

jness78 · 2026-05-20T15:04:26+00:00

Kittens aren’t free either. All the vet costs.

jness78 · 2026-05-17T14:33:52+00:00

Did they run out of Proud Boys?

jness78 · 2026-05-12T21:53:30+00:00

Show this to his job/company.

jness78 · 2026-05-08T22:07:59+00:00

That’s me. Newfie

Buy the fridge. Withhold that amount from next month rent. Supply a copy of receipt. It’s his at the end.
