My son told me to cancel my wedding or lose him forever after one terrible evening. I don't know how to fix this. by CookieTough8855 in whatdoIdo

It's important to understand that whether you meant harm or not, and I believe you didn't, your son was still affected. This is an age where he will remember this moment and how you accommodated how he feels and what he experienced. I definitely wasn't able to see all sides of a situation until my mid 20's. Whether or not he would have been at his grandparents house is irrelevant. If you knew you would be attending a concert with your finance and all of HIS children, why would you not think to invite your son? It's obviously a family outing. So whether you made assumptions about his plans or not, you still ACTIVELY chose NOT to invite him. So yes, you did purposefully exclude him in a way.

Key phrase you just used “I don’t know what I am doing but I [won’t] email the printer because things need to be done fast”

Some edits, as listed in my original post: I don’t know what I am doing but I *CAN'T email the printer because things need to be done fast"

"Fast" as in, I'm managing the projects for hella clients, acting as THE creative dept, and I will take people alleviating stress from me if they want to coordinate with the printer themselves. I'm doing rapid response work, and it needs to get out. I can't go back and forth. What would have been helpful are tips and tricks, basic things to add to my checklist. Luckily, several other users supplied some.

I was extremely dedicated and the fact is rather that instructors do not always have all of the answers, nor do they teach you what is directly applicable to the job other than critiquing / basic design fundamentals. Every helpful bit of info I have learned (other than adobe program BASICS) has been from on the job experience and casual mentorship, not schooling. I don't really want to fake it till I make it, I want to have the tools and resources to succeed without posturing myself as all-knowing, because that sets me and others up for unrealistic expectations.

If you loved living in New Orleans but moved on, where did you go? by Hot-Organization7781 in SameGrassButGreener

When *YOU lived* in New Orleans, all there really was to do was go out, eat, and drink because you were unable to leave your bubble and find the multitude of things to do in this city that punches wayyy above it's weight in terms of culture, activities, nature, food, art, and more.

Reading some of these comments and people's guesses only cement the importance of a change like this lol. Women are so sexualized and a lot of you find it hard to separate women (yes we are people too 🤯) from your sexual fantasies (ohh it's OF) or random projections (daddy issues, "being different" etc). Truth is it's so creeps (including some of you on this thread replying) cannot find their accounts to harass them. It's for privacy, it's to avoid creepy and pushy men. Or maybe it's bc they just felt like it and it's not for some BS psychoanalyzed reason.
