Volunteer brought their kid who's...a handful. It's disruptive, but I don't want to ban kids entirely. How do I set rules without alienating the parent?

Children, when accompanied by a parent/guardian volunteer, are allowed at “child friendly events” and when they require minimal attention during volunteer time.

Then a baby napping or able to occupy themselves for a short shift or meeting is fine. Or if the parent is monitoring an activity at a festival that’s geared for kids works. Knife throwing or a long board meeting with a kid that’s teething is a no, lol.
You’re still going to have people that you will have to say “this isn’t working for you and kiddo right now, it’s ok for you to leave”

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!

Breakup etiquette- we broke up and I was supposed to go to his relatives’s wedding in a couple of weeks. I know the couple, not super well, but have hung out and texted individually as well. Should I let them know I won’t be attending and wish them well or don’t reach out to them?

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them. Even though Her social media is full of his pics. She still sends him $50 a month for dog food, still goes to work right by his place and suspiciously needs keys. I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
