My ex husband is a real special POS. We have been divorced since 2011 and he has never paid a dime towards our kids medical or dental expenses. I talked to him earlier this year bc our youngest has had significant medicals this year, and he agreed to pay a portion. Not half, but a portion. Something is better than nothing, right?
On Labor day, my youngest hands me an envelope containing $300 and said it was from dad. I was so shocked that he actually followed thru.
Today, I thanked him and his wife.... guess what. They didn't send it. My 17 yr old daughter gave it to me to cover for her dad.
I am sitting here at my desk crying bc 1- my daughter was trying so hard to be independent, 2 - she felt like she had to cover for him, and 3 - he is such a POS! I am sick to my stomach thinking about this!!! I am so proud of her and so furious at him all at the same time.6 -

That sucks. A lot. Except for your daughter - how sweet!
I am forever thankful that I did not have kids with my ex.2 -

So you're lying to mfp, but not the trainer. I guess we know which one scares you more. 😁

I haven't been tracking at all so you have me beat.1 -
Confession:
I just made dinner reservations for Saturday night an lied and said it was my birthday hoping for a free cake.
TBH, my birthday is later this month and I will be out of town every weekend until after.
Is this bad?
Not if it's your birthday dinner. You're screwed if they check ID though.1 -

First, I 💕 your kid. You've done something right.
Second, I would have to give the back her money.
Finally, please God, the POS will feel guilty now that you have accidentally ratted her out and do the right thing.1 -

Confession: you all inspired me to lose 36 pounds since 5/29. Lost that weight ten times over in my "dieting" career. Apparently, I always skipped the chapter on maintenance in the "diet" books I read, and erroneously thought I could eat ALL THE FOOD. Nope...will always need to monitor what I'm stuffing in my mouth.
You guys are great...make that SUPER GREAT. I will confess that now that I'm at the end, I'll have to find a new hobby.
This is all super great!! That is some dedication! If you can comment to reading all this, you can do anything lol1 -

I am giving the money back to her. She is currently at his house, but coming home tonight. I had a long conversation with her last night and stressed that her medical bills are currently NOT her responsibility - they are ours. Her time will come soon enough, but until then - I will take care of them. She is such an independent little $#!+… It makes me proud.6 -

I am loving your honesty. You are now even more of an inspiration because of your willingness to be honest and open.2 -

That is terrible from your ex, but in good news, your daughter is AMAZING and I'm sure that's in no small part down to you.2 -

Time to stop lying and get serious, Sister!!
Also, obviously I wasn't capable of reading for comprehension. Sorry.4 -
Geez, what a week. I meant to go to work tomorrow while no one is there, but I don't think I am going to go.
Way back in March my supervisor I loved as friend and boss moved to another department and I interviewed for her job, which they gave to another person on my team. I consider that person a friend but she has been in over her head as my boss since day one. I rarely think my department director makes mistakes, but she did this time. Maybe she shouldn't have picked me, but she shouldn't have picked J either.
I have been hesitant to complain about her and even took a write-up for something she told me to do because it was verbal instruction and I could not price she said it and I didn't want it to be seen as sour grapes that I didn't get the job. (And really, I did know that I should have asked someone with a clue.)
There have been other incidents where she hasn't done the right thing or has just failed to do anything at all and I haven't said anything because I didn't get that job. But Monday she actually yelled at me and now I have a conundrum. Denni says I should quit if it isn't resolved to my satisfaction. My department director has asked me to work through this with J so the director knows if I can resolve conflict.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I have put October 11 as DDay for deciding whether to find a new job. And I have no idea what I think a satisfactory resolution is.
I do know the operations manager needs another supervisor and I think my director wants to give it me, but she didn't actually say so.
TL;DR pray for me, I need wisdom4 -
@melissafeagins Works issues suck so bad. It’s like a feud in your second family. I like that you have a “do or die” date in mind.
Prayers for you! I know you are an asset to the organization.1
