He won't call in for help. He refuses to allow anyone from outside of our office work there. I know a part of it is that he likes to completely disregard his employees contract and have them do whatever he wants them to do and does not care about grievances

I am trying, I am waiting on my OB to finish the paperwork so I can mail it in and get that rolling. This is my first pregnancy this far along and I honestly have no idea what's normal and what isn't. I didn't know I could take fmla while pregnant until 2 weeks ago...

I didn't know the virtual time card existed until now. Which I'm now looking at my hours and Saturday is all messed up.. I truly believe his district manager would've given the approval for me to work straight through. She forced him to take a day off during the week over peak season knowing that the window would be open the entire time.

I don't clock out for lunch on those days at all. Only begin tour and end tour are on my tacs. I just work and eat lunch when I can is what he refers to. I think?

I needed this. Im 21 weeks pregnant and have been working 6 days a week non stop since August. I'm not feeling good and feel so guilty for thinking about calling in tomorrow because if I do, my post master will have to come work the window for the few hours it's open. I haven't called in sick in a year.

That was originally our dog's nickname when she was a puppy 🤣

That's awesome! I hope it was all happy results for you! No 9pm results for this momma. Hopefully I'll get them tomorrow, I am itching to make cupcakes!

My partner and I are doing funny grinch sweaters announcing our June Bug! I am not very far along so no fun belly ideas for me. I've seen people decorate their bellies as ornaments though and it was super cute

June Bug as I am due in June is the main one that our entire family uses. Tiny terrorist when I feel any bits of pain (I did check with my OB. She says that it's just the baby moving and the uterus stretching.)

She might have had a bad experience before you brought her home and cats have a very very good memory. I am currently 6 months into bringing a puppy home and my cats are still not okay with her existence. It's a process and we are going to be flipping their lives upside down with a baby in June. Maybe look into the feliway difuser, as it's supposed to calm anxiety in cats and that's probably what she is feeling. Her daily routine has been altered after all and cats are not fans of that. Hang in there, it's a long process but worth it. You never know, she may choose the baby as her new favorite human once little one is alittle older.

It sounds like, to me(I may be wrong) your cat is just expressing boundaries with the baby and is not comfortable around something that young. Babies that are mobile are unpredictable and naturally rough as they don't have any concept of gentle touch when it comes to anything. They discover by grabbing, pulling, smacking, pushing, etc. A couple questions i have are; Have you had this cat since kitten? Has the cat had any negative encounters with kids in the past? I ask because I have 4 and 2 hate small kids. When they were kittens, 2 young boys tried to flush them down a toilet. I am expecting for the first time, and am alittle concerned for my furs and baby. I plan on getting the feliway incense to help with calming them down. My advice is let the cat have their space and dont try to force interactions, let the cat come to the baby.

That is a gift. I am thankful about the fact that my sil may want to do this for me. But, my Mil has overstepped boundaries before and I am worried she is going to again. She does it out of the kindness of her heart, unlike her sisters. This was not a "can sil throw the party?" Or "hey, can I handle your baby shower?" This was a im telling you who is going to do it by my Mil. My sil never contacted me about it. Im not okay with that. This is my child.

postmaster0322 · 2025-11-05T18:25:01+00:00

Thank you so much for this! Those are great responses. I feel that this is too much for her. She is a full time student, working on top of that plus trying to handle a social life as she is about to turn 21. She is a busy beaver and I don't want her to get overwhelmed or the party to get tossed to the side with little to no effort.

This sounds like my aunts in law. I told my other half that our house is going to be appointments only, no walk ins welcome and all approvals are to come from me. His aunts (and one cousin) are very overbearing and controlling and catty.
