He's not running a sweatshop here, he's asking his kid to contribute to the family in the form of chores. You know, the thing that pretty much every single child has had to do since they were old enough to understand what a chore is. It's part of raising a responsible adult. Just look at the kids that go to college without having ever done the dishes or the laundry or whatever. It's actively harmful to their development as a person to not make them do things like that.

Plus what kid wouldn't take 60 bucks for what most likely isn't more than an hour's work? That's an insanely good rate for mowing a standard lawn. You could probably get it done professionally for that much (or less).

This. I'm a grown man but I'll mow your lawn for $60 if you've got the mower ready. gently caress I'll do it in a dress if you got my size. The usual American yard can be mowed in half an hour without breaking a sweat. If a kid cannot see the value of a $120/hr piss easy job, then you failed as a parent.

Get your kid to do chores sure, that's part of growing up. Just don't be a shitlord idiot about it and get pissy when they don't want to do it sometimes (also part of growing up but for the parent).

If you want chores done a certain way just do them yourself?

If you let them find out that "I don't want to" gets you out of doing it they'll never "want" to. The whole point was that sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do. I mean, exceptions can be made if they are incredibly busy with school work or upset about something but if you find them just playing video games or shitposting online then they have no excuse to not do it.

That said, if your child throws a crying tantrum at that age at being offered 60 dollars for easy work, you probably hosed up as a parent some time along the way so it's more on you than your kid.

Enough rear end kickings at school should fix trans kid's problems. It's how we managed to get the smelly kid to take a shower at gym, after all. I believe it was the Gandhi who said, "First you ignore them, then you laugh at them, then you fight them, then you win."

My opinions directly conflict with yours, apparently. But then i work with a bunch of folks who never had to work for anything, or really do anything hard or god-forbid a dash of manual labor, and my, its an absolute pleasure to work with those kids who are legally adults.

Post a new fesh

My wife's car broke down this morning, and she doesn't have AAA, but I do, so I had to go to her car and call AAA from there and act like I was the one driving when it broke down

This is especially funny because my car's still in the shop from getting rear-ended last week so until hers gets fixed (which should only be a day or two luckily) my rental is our only car

But anyway I'm at work now so here's some feshes

quote:

I'm not that other therapy goon, but I am in love with my therapist. I have been seeing her for several years now for my alcoholism and anger issues and I quickly started to develop feelings for her. I never brought them up to her but I quickly got obsessed. I thought the feelings were mutual so imagine my surprise and devastation when I followed her home one night and saw through the window that she was married with kids. I started drinking heavily again after 2 years of sobriety and could think of nothing but getting rid of the husband and having her for myself.

Obviously I can't tell her this since she'd just stop letting me see her and probably call the police, but the thought has become overwhelming. I dream about it, I think about it when I masturbate, it won't go away. So who do you turn to when you can't tell your therapist what's bothering you? I could find another one, but it took a long time for me to open up to this one and I feel like I don't have that kind of time.

Well my first piece of advice is that step #1 upon realizing you're in love with someone is not "follow her home and peek in her windows"

but beyond that, yeah dude I'm sorry but you're gonna have to get a new therapist. Try a guy this time.

quote:

So like a month ago I realized I have no life.

Had this job, pay was below average but better than a lot of things around here, no upwards mobility. Job itself sucked. No real sense of doing anything but treading water. But at the same time I had a lot of freedom to do what I wanted. No major responsibilities.

I happened to incedentally find a slack channel that was named something like [My Name] Memorial Thread. And it was almost two years of just non-stop poo poo talking about me. Everyone except the top levels was in it. One person refrained from getting in on it. Everyone else who worked there chatted almost every day about me.

The first things mentioned was along the lines of "Oh, wow, it's so much more convienient to have a channel instead of all these multiple direct messages like we've been doing." I'm not gonna post anything specific, but it wasn't a real good feeling seeing that stuff. I remember at one point not even reading it, just scrolling my mousewheel over and over and over again.

So obviously all these people saw me in a much different light than what I thought they did. & the worst part was feeling so stupid, like how could I not know what the real deal was? How'd I loving miss it? How disgustingly naive. I'm not a good person, I don't consider myself to be good. I'm a fuckin loser in a pretty bad way, to be honest. At least none of the commentary was hygiene or other goony stereotype related.

But you know, I like to try and give people a baseline amount of dignity. & it was striking, to me, how much of this stuff was made up. As in, events happened as described, but they attributed a completley alternate and assinine motivation to me. That was the second worst part.

Those two things were much worse than the actual insults, is how I feel about it.

I mean two years? Two years? Some of these people were ones I've known for a decade. All this time I'd hit a bar with them every other week or so. Like gently caress you dude, you're my "friend" and can't say something to my face? If I'm that bad and such a burden to be around loving say something! Very soon after I saw this one of those guys said something similar to me, talking about his boss was pissed from some poo poo he had been doing for a while and he said "I don't know if there's a problem if you don't say something."

This isn't the kind of business where there's a usable HR, and it was essentially every person there, so I put in my two weeks. Boss told me skip the two weeks if I want, let him know if I wanted to come back. So I thanked him, took my poo poo, and left.

Got a text from my ol' "bro" when he found out about how I quit and he was very interested in finding out why I quit. I just told him I didn't want to. But I never said the real reason. I even went back to the bar, he asked in person, and lied my rear end off about it. I think he bought what I told him, though. Maybe I'm being self-deluded, I don't know. If they wanna make up their own fake reality about me they can wallow in it. Go live in lies.

Anyway all my friends from not-work are part of the same set with this dude, some I've known for years, some newer. But I can't stop thinking I'm like a fake person, just a goddamn loser. A joke. I think I'm the same to these people as I was at work.

I do poo poo like look at facebook and it's just all these constelations of people living their lives, but the whole thing is as abstract as watching planets go across the sky. It has no effect on me, it's nothing. It's scenery. I have no impact on them either.

And you know, I think my family is similar. Not the mockery thing, but the made up motivations thing. I belive now that there's basically nobody I know that knows me. It's like I'm someone else to these people. It's a weird feeling. Like I've been living my life wrong, or I'm a ghost or something.

Well gently caress them. I'm in a poo poo-but-ok-for now situation fininacially. Housing situation isn't fatal but it's bad. I shouldn't have quit without lining something else up, but I couldn't stand it. I did a whole lotta getting hosed up by myself at first. I'm tapering it off, and I'm gonna try to turn this fuckin thing around. So far behind though. Just gotta start moving and never stop.

Yeah I don't think you were being a perfectly rational actor here but I don't really blame you for reacting the way you did. It was a toxic environment and you couldn't just stick around after finding that out. I'd recommend taking some time to really "work" on yourself. Find a hobby or something, see thread title, etc.

You absolutely need to tell your therapist that you think you're in love with her. It happens a lot and they know how to handle it and help you work through those feelings. Maybe don't mention the stalking her home, but she can help to show you that the only reason you're feeling like that is because of transference and not because of any real attraction on your part. You probably see her as some sort of salvation, when all she is a regular woman. Tell her. She's helped you through all your other stuff, she'll help you through that as well.

DON'T TRY TO gently caress HER!

This was just straight painful to read :smith:

gently caress all those people. Stop going out with them, stop being friends with them, just cut ties immediately and permanently.

Then, like loquacius said, take some time to do some personal development. Sounds like you've got the hygiene/personal appearance down (thank god) so maybe it's time to go out and find what piques your interest? Having the motivation and tenacity that comes with being truly engaged in what you're doing can and will make all the difference. "Treading water" and "no real responsibilities" sounds like you weren't engaged. That's not necessarily your fault, so don't beat yourself up. The important thing is that now you've got a chance to go out and find something that will grab you and get your motor running instead of sitting on your hands while people you trust shittalk you behind your back. Your future is your own, but you have to reach out and take it, because nobody's gonna just hand it to you.

drat this is one of my worst fears when I'm super baked. Thinking all my coworkers think I'm an idiot and trash mouthing me when I'm not there.

Good thing you left, why would anyone want to work with someone who trashes someone for years? What kind of lovely person trashes someone for years and doesn't have the self insight to realize maybe that's a lovely thing to do. Just thinking about my friends trashing someone for two years makes me question even talking with them again.

By all accounts they only really care that the cardholder is with the car when the guy shows up, and I was :v:

He didn't even tow us in the end, the problem was that the car was stuck in park (due to something weird with the fuse panel???) and it shifted just fine when we used the manual override. Still no brake lights or turn signals or horn, though, due to that fuse issue, so she just drove it straight to a service station and I drove her to work.

in closing: no fraud no fraud you're the fraud
