Hey Pandas, What Should I Do About This Confusing Situation?

Female Employees Have Had Enough Of Planning Secret Santa, All Refuse To Participate This Year

Boss is an A*s. The correct response should have been when it was obvious that other employees wanted to participate that he take on the role. It actually does not cause any work if like our office the names are put in a santa generator. My colleague who organises it does this as we split the party responsibilities as we get our team from all over the country involved. Therefore, there is no chance for slips of paper or "who did I get?". Once you click on it the generated name is your responsibility and nobody elses

Woman Refuses To Go Through Raising Kids Again, Single Dads On Dating App Get Defensive

No parade rained on lol. I totally agree as had 3 years of online dating with typical results. In fact last guy was 53, commitment phobic, mother was in her 80s, and due to a set back in his life ( nothing to do with what ever we were doing, which let's face it ge was stringing me along) went running back to mummy with his d**k between his legs, Oh yeah to top it off, I knew due to Facebook he had a child of about 5 which in a year of seeing him he never mentioned once! Eyes are well open from experiences about the sort of guys I attract online dating

Woman Refuses To Go Through Raising Kids Again, Single Dads On Dating App Get Defensive

Feel for OP, dating in your 40s is brutal. Although not in the same situation I understand her perspective, yeah she has raised her children & there is the wish not to have to go through it again. She still suffering from the trauma of what she went through. She has fear that she connects with these fathers & gets to know & love the kids then if it's a single father(with no mother on scene) he disappears & leaves her with the kids to bring up & her going through all the trauma again. I don't have her experience, am opposite having never had any kind of real relationship & now online dating as I heading to 50. Guys certainly within my range ( 40 to 55) are in 3 camps. Those "figuring it out" - they are not ready for dating, & are not serious. Those "looking for fun", - sex only. Those ready to commit but come with kids/experiences & attitudes expected of the age group. Not an easy situation

"Is It In Yet?”: 30 Devastating Lines From Women That Stung These Men Like Poison

The worst response from a anyone when someone says sonething inappropriate is always, the "well you know that's how they are so let it go". I'm sorry nobody no matter whether they are family, best friends or a complete stranger has the right to make you accept a bully / patronizing or offensive attitude. People should think before they open their mouths and follow a couldn't give a fck attitude. If enough people called them on it enough times they would have to change

Pregnant Teacher Outraged By 6YO That Chose To Dress Up As Her For Halloween, Kid Left In Tears

The teacher, needs to behave! The only time a joke should require an apology is when it is done with the intention of mocking someone. The child, yes a child was not joking was trying to show admiration for someone in her life that makes a different to her life (obviously I know the child would not be able express it in those terms but that is what is going on there). The correct response would be from OP to teacher, sorry you were offended my child did not mean it in the way you have taken it. She will not be expected to make a public apology as she did nothing inappropriate as there was no malicious intention in the activity. If you continue to persecute her for this I will be taking this further as it is not how a role model behaves. As for those admonishing the OP for taking her child for ice cream, please already I say ! She was comforting her child as an adult was being mean to her, bullying comes in all forms and a teaching professional should know better

Woman Decides To Move Out After Roommates Find Out Her Salary: "Been Struggling To Pay Rent"

A shared house rent per person should not be determined on how much the person is earning when everybody has a defined space and some people's areas are smaller than others! Think about commercial real estate you pay per floor area and amenities, the one doing all the complaining has the master bedroom with their girlfriend therefore there share will be expected to be higher than say an "harry potter" room for example. Not the OP but the other guy is a AH as he clearly is not living in the real world in his head yet. I bet he is closeted by his parents. Even when you move in with a partner as you are now sharing the sane space to prevent any "I bring the money to this house" discussions the fair split should be 1/2 each to the running the house be it rent/mortgage/food/utilities etc.

Not to rain on your parade, but it only gets worse when you turn 50. Though kids are usually out or on their way out in our 50s, men are pretty much the same non committal mess with aging parents and their own physical issues.

Your idea sounds wonderful. In practice it stopped working when I turned 50. Most people my age struggle to find dates. Finding friends is also difficult.

Pregnant Teacher Outraged By 6YO That Chose To Dress Up As Her For Halloween, Kid Left In Tears

Replying to add the teacher could have better handled the situation by talking to the little girl privately and say something like, "I know you care about me, and I care about you too, but when you behave like this, it hurts my feelings. Since we care about each other, we need to be careful not to behave in ways that might hurt each other's feelings." You can't just automatically expect kids to understand things from an adult perspective. They're little humans and need to be taught from a place of love, compassion, and understanding. The fact this poor girl was asking her mother if she is a "bad girl" makes my blood boil. Children aren't bad. Behavior is. How this teacher got her degree without taking child development courses is beyond me.

Man Cheats On GF With Her Best Friend, They Harass Her When She Refuses To Attend Their Wedding

I suspect that a lot of the old friend group are on OP's side and as a result are not going to go to the wedding. As a result the cheaters are getting a lot of rsvp of NO! They think that if they get OP there all their old friends will come running back. But these stupid little children are now along with their family instead making matters worse by harassing OP and making her close to reacting in a negative way that will make their life harder. People need to own their actions in life and understand their are things that cannot be forgotten or forgiven.

“I Will Never Be Able To Forget That”: 45 Of The Worst Things People Heard From Their Parents

I know how bad the dual diagnosis of depression and anxiety is. Everyday is a struggle and at least for me nobody believed the diagnosis of depression as my anxiety made me very animated. You might say I was lucky was what you might call high functioning so unless I had a bad attack nobody would know. I feel for OP as nobody knows apart from the individual how hard it was for them and someone saying they know how it is and they feel it can totally feel like making you wanting to say "F-off, you really don't know what goes on inside my head, you are not me".

Woman Adores Her Engagement Ring, Changes Her Mind After Finding Out How Much It Cost

I avoid Temu in general as everything about them gives me tacky vibes. I understand OP's frustrations at him pushing away everytime she tries to talk about it. Yes it was from a s****y retailer but he did buy it for her with love in his heart no matter what else. Although if I was being proposed to ( not that is anywhere likely to happy without any SO in my life), he better be knowing what i like because i don't do "diamonds". Off to Pandora he can go for a silver band with a garnet on it £40 boom

Ex-Homeowners Show Up To See Former House, Get A Reality Check When Woman Doesn't Let Them In

When it's been a loving family home that was there for all your childhood we always have memories of it and want to reminise. My mother recently sold her dad's home which he had been in since 1956, she had many happy positive memories there and often says she would love to see what the new owners do with the place. Now me I would not advise going to visit old family homes as I actually feel it will 1) devalue your memories to an extent, its not the same place it was in your family, 2) it can actually cause rage if something that you hold key to your family life there has been dramatically changed. I put it to you this way, imagine an Artist painting on Canvas. If he paints over an old painting is it the same painting?

Putting the birth control issue to the side, for the relatives claiming it does not matter because she has an implant. He did mess with other medication which are to control bouts of involuntary constipation. Do you know what damage to your body having constipation and therefore bowel waste products can have. The guy is an immature person not fit to be in a relationship

MIL’s Shocking Comment Over Baby’s Gender Severs Family Ties

My father knew how to be down right hurtful as he was a narcissist but in this instance I believe he just didn't think how it might be heard. My sister was pregnant and had had a miscarriage a 6 months prior to falling pregnant. We were out eating lunch and he said to her it might be better if she had a miscarriage what he actually meant was if there was something wrong with how the baby was developing as it would be unfair to the baby if it was born with a serious issue that would cause it pain. Needless to say that sister was extremely upset. In this instance of the OP I do believe the MIL is a serious a*****e. You do not say such things to an expectant parent. It is never justified even suggesting that the baby will never be born

BF Won’t Stop Using Kids’ Towels To Wipe Off Gross Fluids, Furious GF Tells Him They Need A Break

Both are in the wrong here. OP needs to get more towels, she has 3 male kids that are at the stage where they are going to be getting stinking from BO as they are hitting puberty and will need to take more showers to remain stink free. The BF needs to understand even with extra towels that in that house there is a policy of you have your own towel or if you use a towel from the bathroom it needs to be replaced with a fresh one. And dear op, work out someway to get laundry done more often

Ex Colleague phoned me the next day to say that I ditched his friend.

Teen Demands More Independence From Parents, Has Meltdown After 4 Minutes Alone On A Bus

The OP did this in a controlled situation. 2nd to last stop of a termining route on a practically empty bus. A test to assess the "childs" ability to be aware of her surroundings which she was not. Had the daughter been paying attention, she would have seen the mother get off and followed or got off at the next stop anyway as it was the correct stop and just said something like how come you got off early this is our stop. The family saying OP is unreasonable is ridiculous, it was a valid learning experience in the daughters life.

Dental Staff Who Want To Go Home Early Sneakily Change Woman's Appointments, She Gets Revenge

My Dentist infuriates me. Similar but opposite end of the day to OP I always asked for a 8am appointment pre COVID as I didn't have the option to WFH and had to bus it to work. So wanted to have appointment before going into work as count not rely on being home in time for appointment. So because Dentist didn't want to start early appointments were always getting cancelled. Now, they phone the day before appointment to make sure you will be attending the next day, if they get a voicemail ( often I have meetings during the day) they leave a message to confirm by 3pm or your appointment will be cancelled. I have many times said, if I made the appointment of course I am going to attend!

“He Cheated On Me”: 30 Women Who Were Mistresses Share What Happened

Had close one, almost the case last year. Guy I had met online 9 months prior, & had 1 date with (no sex) contacted me again with excuse was clearing his phone & saw me. As had a bad experience with a previous guy online dating now backcheck guys pictures of guys on Google. Well in periiod between had found him on Facebook & had a suggestion of a woman that was friends with him on there. He was in her profile pic! A delve into her profile was that she had been with him for at least 2 years if not more, yes that's right he was with her when we had our date initially. And wait for the kicker she was due to have a baby in 2 months from him recontacting me. It was obvious to me that he was looking for sex & thought me an easy mark. I sent him a screenshot of their pic from her profile, with words "I'm not a sidechick". Blocked him & unfortunately to my knowledge she isn't aware of his antics as I would not break their family unit of now 3 kids

Neither parent works in my profession!

Job Interview Instantly Goes South After A Guy Fails To Answer The ‘Dumbest’ Question

I have seen a great much debates about this for the last few years. "Corporate Business" seems to have not moved on from the employee is owned by the company philosophy that states you will be at the companies beck and call at all times and younger employees are the exact opposite in that you schedule me to work from this time to thus time I will be turning up at the first and leaving at the 2nd and there will be no deviation from this. The best companies and employees are the ones that have mutual respect for each other, work life balance is a thing but an employee making sure that you are set up and ready to commence work at the time you are being paid for is respected by the company. Then at the end of the work scgedule there is the respect that should go the other way, where the company gives enough time to the employee to close their work off and all work station equipment is returned to its standby / tidied away position. Personally my job takes 10 min setup and 10 min close down

“The Worst Thing I’ve Ever Seen”: People Disturbed By Jenna Ortega And Martin Freeman’s Scene

Apart from that, 18 (or 21 as she in reality is) is a legal adult, so nothing wrong there. People seem to have no problem with very violent scenes, but anything intimate/sensual/sexual should be banned? Just because *you* are not comfortable with it (for whatever reason). No one forces you to watch it. I wanted to avoid country-naming but this seems to happen often in a certain country that is at the same time the biggest producer of explicit adult films

I worked at Booking (dot com) about a decade++ ago and our data scientists always said: "Avoid hotels with a rating lower than 8.3". It was some kind of conclusive point of no return or something. They knew something that they couldn't share, but I've always applied this rule since that day, and I've never been disappointed. And I've traveled a LOOOOOT. Red flag: rating lower than 8.3 on Booking.
