Regardless of being a mandated reporter or not, if you see a child getting abused it is your moral duty to report that poo poo to the proper authorities (CPS, police) immediately.

I totally understand that attitude if you’re working retail or some other lovely job like that, but I’d hope people would care a little bit if they saw a child or other vulnerable person being abused at their job, regardless of how much they’re getting paid. I’m overestimating a lot of people here, I know.

Edit: childcare workers and anyone involved in social work deserve to get paid way way more, both for the importance of the work and for how much bullshit they have to put up with.

Like I said, the industry is baffling. The teachers are always part time, underpaid, and underemployed. You need a minimum of a bachelors in education to be hired to change diapers for 8 hours a day at minimum wage without benefits. Tuition is crazy expensive and for a dual family income, it sometimes costs the entirety of one of the parent's incomes, yet they run on paper thin margins and aren't very profitable. To actually manage a center properly requires a poo poo ton of knowledge about the ins and outs of the regulations, but there's no real way to get trained other than being thrown to the wolves. Especially in cases of small shops like in the OP, they get their start because the "owner" is a stay at home mom who likes kids and thinks they're in expert in raising children because they turned 2 kids into functional adults. In reality, running a center is a corporate hellscape just like running any other business, and a lot of people who find themselves in that position are woefully unprepared. The only solution to that is to hire a full time director who (hopefully) knows how to do it, but now you just cut into your already thin margins.

The job that my wife got where the owner had a CPE case opened on her? The owners were a husband/wife combo, the wife was a stay at home mom who had a dream of owning a business while the husband already owned a car dealership which he used to funnel money into the new business. My wife fled to a new job in less than a year because she was getting dragged into the middle of their divorce.

The dumbest part of all is that the success of a center relies on it's location and not the quality of the education they're providing. So you could dump a ton of money getting every accreditation under the stars, but it won't boost enrollment at all because parents need to drive an extra 5 minutes to get there. And that's why so many places are so dysfunctional but get away with it. Parents have no idea how bad the corners are being cut until the state steps in and shuts the place down.

No one should have to do something sexually they don't want to do. If someone and their partner aren't compatible sexually, split up or shut up.

What is the definition of "demanding" here? Would "state that you require" be a synonym? I don't think either of your statements are wrong or anything, but it takes some effort to integrate them with each other. The dude was acting very entitled and childish, but just how should one try to negotiate these kinds of situations under patriarchy?


Demand, require, now we're getting into semantics. The guy acted like his wife had no right to refuse to give him a BJ. When I said I wouldn't "demand" sex from an SO, I meant I wouldn't try to make them do something they did not want to do.

quote:


Are you saying that you think it is acceptable to have sexual preferences, and act on them (say, by breaking up with someone who you are incompatible with), but if you want to be safe, you should keep silent about these preferences and whether or not you're acting on them, lest you pressure your partner sexually? People change, and preferences change, so spelling everything out beforehand might not be enough.

If my wife suddenly quit wanting to have sex with me, I would try to have a discussion with her as to why the sudden change. I wouldn't scream at her and tell her she owes it to me, then stomp out of the house.

Sex is part of a normal, healthy adult relationship. If you are not compatible in that way and can't come to some kind of agreement that you both can be content with, then you need to break up.

Alright, I'll try to be as specific as possible so maybe I could garnish specific advice.

My ex [20s/F], cheated on me while we were together, broke up with me, and blocked me on all forms of communication. This came completely out of nowhere because I was perfect to her in the relationship and she even got a tattoo on her that I designed! I loved her and still love her, but she just keeps ignoring me and now she's dating someone else...

To boot, someone on reddit has been following around my main account and linking my posts to her so I had to make a new one just to get the help I need.

Why doesn't she see how much I love her? I mean, I even sent her and her mom Christmas gifts even though we were broken up. They never even thanked me...

I get that I need to move on because she's with someone else, but telling me to move on doesn't actually help me. I'm physically ill over this, and everyone's treating this like some common high school breakup, this is more than that, she is the love of my life. I'm just so broken about it.

Thanks for all who respond, feel free to pm me.

I'm not racist I just love dogs. posted:

I just love dogs: I live in the downtown area of a gentrifying city. I have worked intentionally to become part of the community I joined, while respecting its roots—supporting local business, volunteering, etc. I know I have lots of unconscious racial biases, but I try hard to listen and not cause harm. I also really love dogs. I have an awesome dog. He is cute and friendly, and we know lots of people in our neighborhood who I wouldn’t otherwise have any reason to interact with. Having a cute, friendly dog, I am very used to people paying attention to him and not talking to me. Not only do I not mind this, it brings me joy to see people dote on him. I also talk a lot at my job and can sometimes feel burned out from any more conversation than I’m
professionally obligated to engage in. I am friendly with some fellow dog parents, and dogs being the focal point of our interaction often seems like a global inside joke.


About a month ago, a woman somewhere in my age range moved immediately next door to me. She is black. I am, if it isn’t obvious by now, white. I was bringing my dog in when she was moving in, and she said she knew someone would want to say hello. She opened her door, and her own adorable dog ran out. The dogs happily greeted each other. I was happy and even harbored visions in the moment of exchanging keys with my new neighbor and helping each other with dog walks on occasion. A few weeks passed, I had some travel, and then after I returned, I saw them on the street when I was racing off somewhere, and I cheerily said hello to the dog. Later that day I saw them again and, again, said hello to the dog. My neighbor yanked the dog away from me and my dog and yelled, “Don’t say hi to my dog if you aren’t going to say hi to me.” I was extremely surprised and faintly called after her, “I just really love dogs.”

Prudie, she clearly thinks I’m racist, when I really just love dogs. I have seen her since then and gotten a similar aggressive ignoring response, though no more comments. What can I do? Should I put a note under her door? What should it say? “I’m not racist, I just love dogs” seems a bit reductive, but it is the truth. I usually operate with a fairly high level of emotional intelligence, and I am completely stumped by the appropriate move here. I no longer harbor happy ideas of us becoming neighbor friends. Am I racist and clueless? Help me.

It would have been covered as routine follow up care for the procedure.

As many as 40% of women who have a baby don’t make it to a postpartum visit. I’d bet the post-op visit rate for an uncomplicated vasectomy is much worse, because people don’t like being inconvenienced.

Even if he hadn’t gotten one after the procedure he could have taken one now and at least knew if it was possible the kid was his. Seems like a pretty reasonable first step instead of launching directly into a marriage destroying accusation of infidelity.

I mean wouldn't hearing the news that she's pregnant and going "oh well let me just go ahead and check (again) I still got swimmers" basically the same thing? I mean the result is you performing a medical test that will in your mind either confirm or rule out cheating.

Going back for the test is perhaps more subtle but its the same overall message.

I had something similar happen to me a few years back. I've always had pretty severe social anxiety, so when I see one of my neighbors walking down the sidewalk I'll cross the street to calm my nerves. A black family moved into the neighborhood at one point and, well, you can imagine what happened next.

I didn't want them to believe I was racist so I tied a note explaining my anxiety issues to a brick and the next time I saw them I threw the brick toward them and ran away. I'm pretty sure they read it, because the next time I saw them on the street they waved. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened after that because I panicked and ran several miles until I collapsed in a forest preserve.
