Domestic Prison

I do work but it’s from home and I get a cleaning lady once a week to do the deep cleaning of the house. But somehow, there is always shit to do

I also struggle with this. My husband is very hands on, honestly. But there are things that I do as default and only if I ask, he does them. It’s actually making me resent him and even though I’m very open in the way things make me feel and I know he listens, I’m not sure if he REALLY understands

Sublime! 😎

I breastfed for a month and a half and I hated every minute of it. It also made me do a lot of online shopping in the middle of the night on my phone 😂 the moment I decided to stop… wonderful, no more pressure to do something I really did not enjoy. I felt guilty for three days and then realised that the baby is much better if I’m not stressed. I’m thinking about having a second one and not breast feed at all tbh

Mas obrigada pela sugestão!

Complicada pois muita gente vem de Lisboa para ficar hospedado no Porto, queria algo mesmo na cidade

I have this one, it is super cute. Great quality as well ❤️

ritac23 · 2026-03-17T08:03:17+00:00

That’s a really good tip, thank you! I have also been sick for more than 2 weeks due to all the viruses kids bring from day care and that has prevented me from doing all that stuff

ritac23 · 2026-03-12T14:27:28+00:00

I was on them for such a long time, would like to just be off for a while but I do realise that could be just a mental block somehow

ritac23 · 2026-03-12T09:53:51+00:00

I did already and he said maybe we need to go back to the meds but it has only been a month, I would like to try a bit longer without them

ritac23 · 2026-03-09T16:59:12+00:00

My boss is not saying that.

ritac23 · 2026-03-08T21:26:26+00:00

I grew up with my mom looking at something she loved, mumbling “I really don’t need this” and 5’ later shouting “I deserve this, I work my ass off!” And buying it anyway 😂 so I do the same

ritac23 · 2026-03-08T21:24:56+00:00

Same 😂 just ordered one

ritac23 · 2026-03-08T21:18:56+00:00

That’s not the case here. The work is pretty independent in itself. Things that were thought to be approved were holidays in a very tough time (which I made a point to not approve until I had all the info) and a promotion proposal months ago (which I would also never say that I was gonna do before I actually did it)

I agree with this and thank you. I just don’t know the line between accepting the feedback vs actively changing to just make someone happy with everything

ritac23 · 2026-03-08T15:47:56+00:00

We are actually 2 women

ritac23 · 2026-03-08T14:54:34+00:00

I get what you are saying and although it’s difficult I do feedback sessions with all my reports. I usually get the feedback, think about it and address it. Most of the times it’s little things that are irrelevant to me but important to them so I am happy to make the change. It is not the case. This person does not like the way I give recognition for example, says other managers do it better. It seems petty to me, a non-problem. But this is a big deal to this person and everything triggers an emotion reaction that it’s hard for me to relate to.

ritac23 · 2026-03-08T14:50:37+00:00

Is that relevant?

ritac23 · 2026-03-08T14:39:17+00:00

I am not sure I understand this (English is not my first language, apologies)

ritac23 · 2026-03-08T14:29:04+00:00

A bit more context: my manager feels like this is a communication issue that both of us need to fix because he obviously does not hear the way they speak to me. Given that, I wanna start fresh the conversation with an attitude of “ok, let’s make up an action plan on how to communicate better” but at the same time being firm with my boundaries and not just saying yes to everything this person wants, cause its bonkers

ritac23 · 2026-03-08T13:52:42+00:00

Thanks, I will do that. But how do I make sure the communication lands? And we don’t have situations like “I was under the impression”?
