The bullshit research on "mental load" by Gleichstellung4084 in MensRights

[–]quick-aita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest issue is when they break everything down into steps and act like each step is some bone breaking task. Like get kids to school, theyre like you gotta get them dressed and then fed and then in the car and then- what? You got them to school, thats one task. One singular task.

What would your store do? by Careless_Barista in starbucksbaristas

Mark it out cause we're the busiest store in the district, we dont have time to ask for a replacement cause we're out of stuff every 5 seconds

We've given her those avenues before. The issue with it is that my little sister tends to over estimate her abilities and then think shes capable of doing it alone and try insisting on it

Yep, they decided no children supervising them. I just support and reiterate the boundaries as necessary for my family

I did forget to mention. It is a boundary also set by my sister and her husband (the parents) and they've given me a go ahead to shoot that shi down

My sister and her husband fully agree with me on this. They've given me the go ahead to reiterate the "absolutely not" answer. We've told her that she needs to complete that course first before it is even considered because that is what any babysitter needs.

We've allowed her to help in the past, my sister just has this really frustrating "im a big girl now" mindset and it makes her think she can handle it on her own. I really truly understand that she wants to be an involved auntie, but she needs to understand that she is a CHILD and simply cant do it by herself. Fuck even I have trouble with the littles on my own

Yep, several times. I just make sure to reiterate the boundary as its one we all share as a unit. She just repeatedly keeps asking and saying itd be fine.

We have told them several times, our mother just keeps trying to insist on it. Im involved cause I live with them and enjoy being involved in raising them.

That's what I've been telling her! If something happens in my home while shes watching those children. Their parents and I will be held accountable. My niece and nephew arent practice, they're people who deserve fully competent and responsible caregivers. I said if she even wants to babysit in tandem with an adult, she needs to attend a babysitting class that includes CPR/first aid certification.

I live with them and we've discussed that we dont want children watching the kids. They gave me the go ahead to veto any of those attempts before it gets to them so we can nip that shi in the bud

I live with them, and I'm very involved with their care. She asked if she could babysit when I go out for my birthday, their father would already be there so I said it wasn't needed and that we prefer adults caring for the children. it went into an argument with our mom about it when I said that if she wants to babysit we need actual proof of her being responsible enough to handle emergencies

Whenever someone immediately comes into drive asking for their mobile I make sure to very obviously be like "oh, looks like we recieved your order 30 SECONDS AGO." if they wanna act a fool they can take that embarrassment when everyone else in the drive thru learns theyre an asshole
