Geez, that man might be lucky to be alive. I think whoever is actually having the baby gets to make the decision. Everyone else gets no vote at all.

For yours like she's suggesting. Also apparently you were there and no one thinks this is a big deal but you when your wife spoke to your sisters about this already... her request is not unreasonable!

Yep! Mom and Nanna before anyone else :)

I really thought the hotel suggestion was perfectly reasonable! It's not like she told them they weren't invited at all!

My husband's mom is coming to stay with us but that's cuz I actually like her. And my mom might not be able to come for very long during that time. That guy needs to learn to always listen to his wife, even more so if she's pregnant. #happywifehappylife

I’m honestly curious why the following happens: someone asks a question about covid restrictions/health issues/ etc and half of the responses are “this shouldn’t even be a question”.

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!
