This is kind of extreme, but if you are giving out food as gifts don't make it yourself get some catering and don't take it personally when someone turns it down.

Between allergens and how cavalier some people are with food safety I would not trust any prepared food from random coworkers or casual acquaintances.

There's a bunch of people in the comments who work/have worked in libraries suggesting that it's a library, because it all fits - regularly getting inventory to sort, running programs, having a union, etc. A few commenters who worked in libraries even said they worked at places with their own version of "Celia"; it's apparently a thing to occasionally have an employee responsible for reshelving poo poo who just doesn't bother to do their job.
Libraries don't get money from sales and programs, at least not directly. The whole thing is a train wreck waiting to happen and I want an update when it does ("My library is losing profits because the one employee who actually made things work is gone, what do?").

Nobody is even asking the important question: did the banana bread have nuts in it?

If it did, he was right to refuse it because it was garbage. If it did not, he should have accepted it due to its inherent quality.

Nah, I like walnuts in general, but they get in the way of super soft textured stuff like this. With that, the motion to put nuts in banana bread fails by a margin of 1 to 2.

Obviously people can leave their poo poo to whoever they want to, but lol at OP for valuing his family legacy so highly while he neglected the kids who had any other caregivers. Oh, the children you were forced to take in are the only ones who care about preserving your traditions? How shocking!

Of course leaving the business 50/50 is probably going to destroy it anyway the first time those siblings disagree, even assuming that one or both of them aren't quietly planning to sell as soon as possible.

At that point he might as well gather up his kids in a room and hand them a grenade, it'll be much faster than the shitfest that will follow op's funeral.

My mom (f45) has become a facebook influencer, I (f16) used to not care when she took photos but its gotten crazy. Everything she does is now posted or live streamed online. Even if somewhere says don't photograph or film she'd find a way to film it. It was annoying at first but now its downright frustrating especially since 3 months ago when she got really into it. I also completely understand the irony of me posting this on Reddit but I just need someone to hear me out.

I'm double posting. Intentionally.

Update: my moms an influencer and I hate her for it (7 days ago)

quote:

A few weeks after the original post I did tried to sit her down. I started to explain to her I didn't want to be posted or predominately featured in her account, minus maybe family photos or major events. I do understand that facebook is important to her and I wouldn't want to stop her, I just wanted to feel more acknowledged by her as a person not another character to live stream or post. She called me ungrateful, that she employs herself to have two jobs to support my wants and she works so hard for me. (Her original job is being employed by my father. He pays all the bills and covers everything, the money she earns is for partially for spending, she still uses his credit card, and to pay off debts. She counts facebook as her second job between all the time it takes, according to my dad it's under minimum wage. He recently started bringing up the fact shes on facebook during her work and it's impacting how much she gets done in the day.) She yelled at me for over 30 minutes and ended with her crying and ordering me away. As not good as it looks most sit downs end up this way, I asked to go to therapy before and it had a similar ending.

For a while she slowed down on photographing food. This was because of my dad telling her to stop, that most of its not worth it and it was getting annoying. When we are eating at a restaurant she takes photos of her own food while making comments how we wont support her by taking photos of our meals and being upset and dramatic over. The habit started picking back up of taking food photos so I started to get dishes that look as unappealing (side of fries, salad of just mixed greens, etc.) just so it's not photographed.

She still posts often and I saw someone comment about doxxing but her page has my town posted along with photos of my house. When she leaves for a trip she posts when she leaves and where she is in the moment (my dad heavily disapproves and thinks it should be posted after we return), it terrifies me just that much is online about me. When she leaves just me and my brother alone I become scared that someone could easily break in.

My brother also started becoming bothered by her, on a trip she posted a video of my brother sleeping which his friends ended up finding. That started ticking him off until he started talking about even though he's fine with filming its the in excess getting to him. He's always been closer to her than I have and I just hope it doesn't affect their future relationship any more than it already has.

I found posts on TikTok and youtube reading out the post and I wanted to address a few frequent comments.

The most frequent one being that people wouldn't be able to handle it and they would toss the phone or try and sabotage one way or another, i appreciate the comments and I got a good laugh out of some of them. But the harsher truth is being in the situation, retaliation is a lot harder especially since I would be put under an unsavory limelight. Along with the fact she carries around two phones, destroying one would to little to nothing while getting me in trouble with both parents.

Another one being divorce. My parents can communicate and divorce is something they both don't want. My dad encourages me to ignore my mom's antics and we both know she loves me and is trying to be a parent, which is a difficult task with little to no instructions. My mom isn't from where I'm from, for all I know it could be a good outlet for her and keeps her connected with her home country and people from where shes from.

Finally I'd want to thank the people who said I was patient but I really am not, I'm just used to it. When it's how you grow up you don't think about it as much even if it bothers you. Giving into her lifestyler is a habit and I plan on living by just trying to stay under the radar.

My brother and I both had to shut down our mother posting an event we did during some holiday to Facebook. It was dumb game she saw somewhere, so we had to emulate it. We basically had the sit-down, "Do not post recordings of us online without asking our permission first. The answer will pretty much always be a ''don't'."

The chance that your online presence will cause you harm is far higher than any benefits. I feel so bad for these kids. I'm all for recording memories, but why does the whole world need to be privy to them?

More importantly, Banana Bread owns.
