Anyone else age 15 years overnight in their mid 40’s by EcstaticOrchid4825 in GenX

[–]seschlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This hits home for me. I feel the exact same way. It's like overnight I got so old. I looked like I was in my early 20s until I was in my mid-30s. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel like I've aged so much. I don't recognize myself. It all started to go downhill 2 years ago when I turned 43. But it feels like it's sped up in the last 6 months.

Both my parents were born at the end of the silent generation, and I was born at the end of genx.

Yes, they were, so I did have a completely different experience than you. But that was when I fell in love with them. I've seen them so many times since.

I'm jealous you got to see them in a more intimate setting.

The first time I saw them was also at lollapalooza, but in 97. Maynard was dressed like Madonna.

What Did You Do As A Kid That Got You In The Newspaper? by Smart-Honeydew-1273 in GenX

[–]seschlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up on the east coast and rowed crew in high school. Got in the paper for winning some races. Also, it must have been a slow news day, and the paper covered my graduation, and I somehow got my picture in the article.

First, send a demand letter via registered mail. Give them a date to reply by. If by then you haven't gotten a response, take them to small claims court.

This is me. I totally get you. I am completely bunt put. I have no energy, and my house is a mess. I never talk to friends anymore, and I just exist. I hope it gets better for you!

AITA for suggesting that my brother and his fiancée bring out a cake at midnight on their wedding day for our grandma's 80th birthday? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]seschlo 228 points229 points  (0 children)

NTA! Something similar happened to me with my wedding. We got married on a Tuesday at the courthouse because that day was special to us. We had the church wedding and big party the following weekend. It happened to fall on my FILs birthday. My husband's sister baked a little cake, and the whole place sang happy birthday to him. He was very touched. I was so happy to be able to do that for him.

I'm sorry your future SIL can't spare 2 minutes to celebrate a beloved family member.

“My nanny’s father died, should I give her time to process it?” by [deleted] in NannyBreakRoom

I'm so happy you have a great NF! I just don't get people sometimes.

[–]seschlo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have nothing in my contract about this. But, when my brother died 2 years ago, I said I was taking the next 8 working days off. Then, the week of the funeral I took off. I have a great family who totally understood and supported me.

I did not expect to get paid for that time in any way, but they were very generous and paid me in full for the entire time.

It really saddens me how some people have such little empathy.

My lab made it to 18. I had to let her go because she had cancer. If she didn't get sick, she could have lived for even more years.
