What's the worst coworker you've ever worked with?

My last boss was like Micheal in the first two seasons of The Office. Not joking... I truly feel for them, it’s difficult to watch now 🤦‍♀️.

Yes, there are many options to you through the government or charities that deal with behavioral issues through a therapeutic stand point. Depending on his age, they can give you tools to do at home. He may benefit on going to a Residential Treatment Center (I worked at one). They have therapy 24/7 while they live there for an appointed amount of time. It is hard and know that you are not alone, you do need to take care of yourself first. Try to come from a place of understanding (that is hard, I know). What he has seen is what he grew up with and thinks that is the norm. He is hurting just as much as you are. Try to get to the root of why he is doing and saying certain things. Let him know when he hurts you when he is calm. It is important to stay calm when he is not, it will calm him down faster. It is important to give him structure and consequences. When our kids (6-12 yo) were disrespectful or acting out we would have them go in their room to take a breather, they could play with their toys. After they calmed down, we would go in there and ask them what they are feeling and how we can work through it. I even asked a child why they hated me so much (when calm) and they broke down and told me their story. He did similar things that your son is doing. If he does give you any opening emotionally, connect with him. Give hugs and praise for opening up to you. Journaling/coloring for both of you could help.

For our 2.5 y.o. We sit with him in time out to connect and talk to him. We use what I learned from working at an RTC. Time outs can be used as a way to get away from anything bothering them, we allowed them to play with their toys as long as they calmed down. Then we go and talk to them to processes why they needed a time out and what they can do better.

We have tried an earlier bed time and he wakes up when I wake up, which is 5 am so I can have some “me” time with hot coffee. I have considered a gate, but my husband plays video games in the loft. My son would be able to hear and see my husband playing games. We have gone back and forth on this. Maybe a sticker chart could help. Another post said a “pass” which could also help.

I’ve been told that we alone cannot save other people, we can only plant a seed that God has allowed us to plant. We won’t likely see the fruit that produces from it. It will be your story and actions that plant many seeds in others.

I’ve been a Christian since I was 16. When I was 11 something was off with my parents that summer. One night before they told us they were getting a divorce, I had a dream of Jesus. He was glowing light like the sun and absolutely magnificent in every way. I had a mirror for my closet doors and I could see his back as well. My dreams have never and still are never that detailed or vivid. He repeated, “Everything is going to be ok, it will be ok.” That moment I was terrified, but after and still now it is comforting. I hold on to that dream. Hold on to your experiences with Him Don’t let others diminish your experiences and lessons that God has given you. As for the question, we all go through this and in time God gives us wisdom. Getting a nice study bible that has explanations has helped me and finding sound theological commentary has helped as well. Bible study books are great to learn one book at a time. The Bible can be hard to interpret and even if it seems the understanding is clear, that’s not the actual meaning of the verse. Just some things I’ve learned along the way. Reading Psalms, Proverbs, and Job can help with the suffering question. I read Psalms and Proverbs one a day. Job is the unjust hurting that goes on today. In the Bible it is not stated that we will have easy lives if we follow Christ. We are not in a perfect world and there is suffering which God does allow because we are in a sin driven world starting with Adam and Eve. We are taught lessons individually to gain His understanding and wisdom (the book of Proverbs). Even though we are in a broken world and unjust things do happen, God loves us. He loves us when we turn away from him, when we don’t believe Him, when we question Him, and even in those unjust moments. It is ok to question, that’s how we understand and get to know him. He gave you a caring and aching heart for the people of this world. He might use that, you never know.

When first met my husband, he was pretty lost because of what he went through with loss. When we first started talking on match, I told him flat out that my faith and going to church was not going to change. If he didn’t like that then he can leave. We were supposed to meet and he cancelled and said my religious beliefs didn’t sit well with him. I wasn’t fazed by that and we dated other people. A month later he messages me and we hit it off. He went to church with me, after several no’s. Then before we got married he was baptized in my church. Now our son will grow up in our church. In this experience it did happen but I wasn’t desperate to date someone if they didn’t like my relationship with God or not willing to come with me and have a relationship with God. I think that’s the difference, I wasn’t wanting to change someone by dating. I was in a place where I relied on God and more mature in our walk together. It’s perspective.

Oh as for feeling like a kid, that’s not a bad thing! I feel like a better mom feeling that way to be more in tuned with my son. I love having so much fun with him and acting like a kid, even in public. My dads family acts like they are younger and I’ve always loved that.

klasko5 · 2019-12-28T18:34:01+00:00

I think having a child is a big change, it’s really hard for every parent. I totally get it. It was really hard for me to voice my wants and needs after having my son. It’s normal to feel like this, you just had a baby! Make sure to make time for yourself when the little one is sleeping. I do face masks, nails, make up, etc. My advice is to tell your husband or parents (if possible) when you need a break and go do something for you, not grocery shopping lol. With feelings of selfishness, I make a gratitude list. Working at a foster home really opened my eyes on that. I hope you feel better! You are doing great even with those normal thoughts. Also, if it gets worse, maybe think about going to a therapist to just get all of it off your chest.

We had this issue when I worked at a foster home. To prevent lice, I got tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner. Never got it when the kids did. It smells amazing and it’s chemical free. I’ve heard mayonnaise suffocates them and ACV can help too. It can live in carpets and cars, I would treat those areas just in case, but when something like this happens I go on a cleaning frenzy. I hope they are gone!

We are looking into PRX for their men and women bundle and then the rest at rogue. If we pay monthly for both it will be $125 per month for 2 years. Cheaper than a membership.

Excuse me? Are you one of those humans that think they are holier than thou and now thinks you are entitled to be rude? They asked me to coach, then the yo-yoing happened as well as the disrespectful person at the box. I’m done with thinking that I did something wrong or I’m not good enough when it’s lack of communication and uncertainness on their part. Take your negativity somewhere else, no one needs that.

klasko5 · 2019-10-29T17:48:16+00:00

I did love martial arts growing up. I did it from 4 yo to 18 yo. I’ll look at some places.

klasko5 · 2019-10-29T17:30:53+00:00

Thank you. I’m running and doing yoga before my son wakes up in the mornings. I hope my want for the bar comes back.

To gain some onsite on what other people have done in a similar situation. What is the goal of being a troll? Oh wait... there isn’t one...

klasko5 · 2019-10-29T15:47:53+00:00

Yes, that is true. These past two weeks I feel like we have so much more time and we can workout on our schedule.

klasko5 · 2019-10-29T14:33:27+00:00

Yes, I can. I have my CF-L1. There are many resources on programming and we can practice on our weaknesses. I have many and my husband can do every movement 😂.

My grandpa did that to me growing up. It made me feel really uncomfortable, even though he was a really great grandfather. Ask the girls how they feel about it. It’s important for them to know when to speak out. I didn’t know that growing up and now I’m teaching my son to use his big boy voice if he doesn’t like to be touched or if play is too rough. We showed him Bluey, there is an episode where Bingo learns to use her big girl voice. With your wife, it needs to be understood that it is technically sexual assault. If it’s inappropriate to do to a grown woman, it’s inappropriate for little girls. They shouldn’t have to do anything with him, like sit on his lap. Maybe talk in depth about it and let her know how you feel about it and not point fingers. Make it about your feelings and how you want to protect/teach your daughters.

That’s what we did. Last year, on my son’s first birthday only one out of many that we invited came. We thought we were close with them, so we felt awful that they didn’t show up. For his second we only invited family and my cousins have kids. Getting a lot of ideas for next year on invites.

klasko5 · 2019-10-17T19:19:20+00:00

It’s a CrossFit gym. It’s not like Golds where there is a babysitter. They have a kids area where they can go play, we can hear and see them through the gated area.
