Absolutely. Remember that you are the ONLY ONE LOOKING OUT FOR YOU, now and in the future. Also do NOT let anyone move in "until they get on their feet", because they never will and depending on what State you live in if they establish residency by getting their mail delivered to your house while they are "visiting", or are there more than 30 days it can take an EVICTION to get them out. Hang on to your smarts with both hands and don't let anyone try to guilt you or belittle you into something that will only benefit them.

Your master plan was to eat a few dollars of her food??? I thought this was going to end with "I totally loaded the kids with sugar and left get with an overflowing toilet.". Your "friend"agreed to pay you and didn't. You're lame, no fun at parties, and until you grow a backbone you will forget be used like a chump. Taking a few candy bars, please.

Oh I get it. You're a lazy cow who doesn't work much and expects others to pick up your slack though you hardly contribute. You're just like the older knocked up loser sister.

That is one of the SADDEST stories that I have ever heard. I pray that you realize that because of your own situation you are actually so much better suited for fostering because you know the signs to keep an eye out for. You know how you behaved and can help others with issues similar to your own. If you can't find it in your heart then PLEASE DON'T FOSTER just for the money. From your story however, I think you have sense enough now to know that.

Good for you. I hope your husband keeps his word and continues to back you up. I also hope that your MIL learns her lesson and realizes that you are SO MUCH BETTER THAN SHE DESERVES. Congratulations on your baby news.

Narcissists, haven't talked to for 10 years.

I'm assuming you haven't been working for too long in the field. Ten months is not all that long. There are always positives to be found in any situations. A few simple questions could help you gauge the seriousness of the situation. If you suggest you're in the middle of something you can't leave right now but will be available in two hours it suggests willingness to help while also understanding what's going on. They might reply with 'thanks, but we'll have it sorted by then' or 'is there no way you can get back to your event later? The files will be lost and it could cost xyz his court case'. From there you quickly evaluate what you are willing to do, and also potentially face repercussions. After all it seems this was the first such call in ten months, right?

I'm curious though. Did your parents actually have some inheritance given to them then? That little memo you were given later implied that if they would have been civil and acted human they could have had a part of the inheritance left to them?

But we all know that's not how it plays out

Hahaha

Not over the weekend but change within a job is inevitable.

Consider leaving the State leaving no forwarding address. Also lock your money down and have a Will prepared.

You did everything right and don't you dare feel one spit of guilt the system wants the masses back in the brick n mortar for realstate reasons not giving a fluke about us I congradulate you and even tho it's ruff out here in the work force look for another job closer or another wfh look on rat race that's a legit site 🫶🏿

Exactly. Not a team player. Could have gone in for a couple hours at time and a half off for another day .

Hindsight is 20/20. Your decision did cost you your job but you are the only one that could make that decision. When I was much younger I would jump every time my employer said to. Now at 65 and a few life lessons, I would have said I am out of town on a family emergency. I will be back late Sunday. Should I check with you then? Of course the answer would be no but you offered anyway. See how you saved your job and your weekend.

Yea, exactly

Nobody said being in a office was wrong it's the manner of that change was handled no notice and who are you or anyone to tell this person how to handle it or what bothers them I bet your Karen

And your a abuse advocate I feel sorry for those people you need to be fired cause clearly you don't have any empathy or compassion people hide your elderly from this person

Don't be that guy

Oh, don't be ridiculous. If you want to be forced to give up parts of your private life (today it's a recipe, tomorrow it will be your favorite piece of jewelry or something equally unrelated to your job), and it's not only a red flag but a cape to be swung in front of a bull. No job is worth giving up any part of your self or personal life, including a family recipe, just to stay employed. You didn't fail to "collaborate over a recipe" you refused to GIVE AWAY A FAMILY RECIPE. HR is full of it but they are afraid of the boss so they are dumping it on you. Time for a new job.
