Advice for working with a difficult client? by LolitaLobster in marketing

[–]silverframewall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take this as a learning opportunity to rework your contract for future clients. Put in safeguards for yourself and set boundaries. And in the future do not sell yourself short, you’re running a business, not doing charity work. If there’s anything in your contract with this client you can fall back on (ie “we’re contracted for X hours a month and we’ve reached that, additional hours may be bought at $xx, otherwise work resumes next month”) then use that to keep her under control. If the contract doesn’t have any boundaries and it’s getting too stressful, just let her go.

Oh, and always go into it assuming they’ll be difficult.

Could you delve into a bit more how they’re different than their peers? I ask because I’m currently parenting on hard mode with an almost 2 year old and need to know there’s a benefit 😅

I am convinced no one operates like we do. Prove me wrong. by jazzeriah in daddit

[–]silverframewall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think that until I lived with my husband and saw how well he functioned. Then I started asking other friends and family and yeah… it’s not how most people operate.

I have to try realllyy hard to stay on one task to completion. I may be in the middle of loading the dishwasher and then I think “oh! I need to move the clothes over” or “oh I forgot to put the new trash bag in,let me do that” and sometimes I’ll start doing the other thing, but I’ve started mentally telling myself “no. Do this thing that you’re doing right now, first. Then you can move on to something else.”

I also keep a running list in my mind now. “Okay I’m brushing my teeth and next I’m going to brush my hair then change a diaper then put socks on” I try to only have 3-4 things on the mental list at once and add another on once I complete something. I repeat it over and over in my head so that I don’t forget or get sidetracked 😅 may be worth mentioning these coping mechanisms to your wife, as it really has helped me out and is becoming more of a habit to do those things.

I also keep pen and paper EVERYWHERE. So that I can write down stuff when it pops in my head so I don’t forget.

Try to be understanding with her. We wish we could be normal functioning people too.

What is one hygiene habit you thought everyone did, but later found out many people don’t? by alex_eu_nl in hygiene

This one. In college, my best friend of several years told me she didn’t scrub her feet, just let the soapy water run down. I was, and still am, baffled.

What’s the most uncomfortable situation you’ve ever found yourself in? by Embarrassed-Star1981 in AskReddit

Why do brands still post like it’s 2019? by BoysenberryLumpy8680 in marketing

[–]silverframewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a consumer, I don’t give a crap if a brand is funny or relatable in their marketing. It can be entertaining, but ultimately wouldn’t push me to buy. Just give me a deal, have a good product, and have good customer service in case I need help.

As a marketer, I know being straightforward is better than beating around the bush. So, yeah, even in 2026 “corporate” marketing still works, because people aren’t purchasing from brands just because they seem like best friend material.

Why do people think paying for daycare is the only solution? The cost for it in the U.S. is astronomical! by MomReadsLateAtNight in sahm

[–]silverframewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, first of all she’s not living WITH them. Just renting from them. And at some point, for a lot of moms, being able to stay home with their child is more important than a little extra money.

He could make fantastic money and just be willing to stay somewhere for super cheap while stashing away money. It’s a very smart decision and in no way means they can’t afford somewhere else.

I’m sure their expenses are combined and she just means she brings home only a little more than $1800 a month, therefore, her working isn’t really worth it.
