My face when the dad of the newborn I'm helping sleep coach hits on me while his freshly home-from-the-hospital wife sleeps in the other room. Why do men think this is appropriate, and how can I tell him off without losing my job? I'm worried he'll tell his wife it's the other way around if I say something, and she'll fire me.

You know, she'll believe him,but so what. Tell him openly that you're not interested and would like for him to stop.

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this! That's completely unacceptable behavior from the father, and I can understand why you'd feel uncomfortable and unsure of what to do.

Firstly, please know that you don't deserve to be treated this way, and it's not your fault. You're there to care for the baby, not to be hit on by the father.

I would suggest that you start looking for another job discreetly, so you have a backup plan in case things escalate or you feel forced to leave. Don't let them know you're looking, though, so you can maintain a professional relationship until you're ready to move on.

Regarding the situation, it might be helpful to have some evidence of the father's behavior, like a record of dates and times when he's flirted with you or made you uncomfortable. If you feel safe doing so, you could also consider setting up a camera in the living room (just make sure it's legal in your state) to document his behavior. This could be useful if you need to show the wife or someone else what's been happening.

As for the wife not believing you, that's a tricky situation. You could try talking to her again, explaining how you feel and what's been happening, but be prepared for her to deny it or get defensive. It's possible she's in denial or doesn't want to see the truth.

Remember, your well-being and safety are paramount. If you feel uncomfortable or threatened, it's okay to prioritize yourself and look for a new job or situation. You don't have to tolerate this behavior! Good Luck. Be safe!

Record him saying something

Brought my gf sushi take out to her house when she got off of work. She didn't like the meal I got her and started to eat the roll i got for myself. She noticed I wasn't eating so I told her I ate before rather than tell her she was actually eating my dinner. She's now mad at me that I "lied" even though I did it so she wouldn't be embarrassed.

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.
