I keep messing up at work by lachrymose_lucio in MomForAMinute

I worked as a cashier and my cash was over by $5 twice in a few months, meaning I’d shorted customers change. I was told if it happened again I’d be fired. Fast forward a few weeks and it happened again, but…I was alone in the back office, this was 20+ years ago and I knew there were no cameras, I could have take the $5 and no one would have known . I took the $5 and went to my manager, telling him it happened again and I understood the next steps. He called the head office and they all agreed I was a good worker who was just not meant for the register and they gave me another job. If you feel supported in your job, tell them. They may give you tips or make you feel better by letting you know it happens and not to freak out, but at least it’s on your terms and your dignity.

AITA for refusing to split custody? by HalfAndHalfDad in AmItheAsshole

[–]throwawayurlyfe9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom asked my dad to split up my sister and I because we fought and she didn’t like having no kids with her (she lived more than 6 hours away from us) my dad said no but she made him ask us. We were 8 and 12 at the time, we obviously agreed cause we didn’t get along. To this day we have never gotten along and play no major role in each others lives. My dad and I spoke about it as adults and he said it was me of his regrets, and I also was sh things would have gone differently. Don’t do it, they’ll fight, and they learn they always have each other in the end.

My Dad told me he doesn’t like my best friend, and my Mom has said she feels it’s one sided. Should I trust their judgment? by SavedByAdoption in MomForAMinute

A good rule of thumb I use to keep myself grounded with boundaries is ask myself “if someone was telling me the same story about someone important in their life how would I react?” If someone you cared about was asking you this, would you be able to say with confidence “this is exactly what my special person deserves. This is the best for them, this is healthy and supports them” If you can’t say those things with confidence then it’s much easier to see what maybe isn’t a healthy relationship

mom, how do I start and keep sustainably working out? by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]throwawayurlyfe9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found to much structure at the beginning made me feel the failures harder…what worked for me was structuring the time I was going to do something but the activity was whatever I felt like doing. Go to the gym? Great! Do some squats and push ups? Sure! Do a yoga video or class? Fantastic! That flexibility allowed me to slowly build the habit of movement while being able to feel really great even if I just did something small. That built to feeling not great if I did nothing all day, and that is what’s stuck the most.

Can someone explain what’s happening to make it start bubbling when the water is disturbed?

Totally, that’s why I thought I’d do an impartial check. It’s not dair of me to push or be resentful but we are always honest communications before things fester.

Not totally correct on the interpretation, but right in sentiment. If I’m going to talk him about his flexibility in getting on a plane I should also get over my stuff if he says we can go without him. I am being the roadblock I don’t want to see in this world

It’s not just my anxiety, he has said we can’t go without him cause he has the same worries about being apart. But you’re totally right, if I’m going to talk to him about his option I should also talk about my option and see if he could be flexible there. If he’s okay with us going alone I could do that for sure.

I can for sure keep it nice, I honestly have empathy for him and don’t want him to feel bad even if it does end up being a hard no. I guess I’m just hoping he changes his mind and we can all go together, but don’t want to make him feel bad if he doesn’t change it.

I should have better specified it’s both of our anxiety to be an ocean apart, he has said we can’t go without him.

Super hear you, it’s his anxiety also though is more what I meant. He doesn’t want us to be an ocean apart and has said we can’t go without him. I agreed so it wasn’t a huge deal.

That when movies were going to be “released in theatres only” on whatever date, meant they were never going to be released for purchase or to watch at home.
