  • I have people schedule meetings on the same day. I mostly am not at my computer. 2 - 3 check ins a day typically. Then they get mad when i dont show up to a meeting i never accepted.

    I also get people who apologize for a “late response” when its an hour later. Like wtf do these people expect


  • I appreciate the notification my messages gives me sometimes. I forget the exact verbiage, but it brings it to the top of the list and says something like, “you got this 1 day ago. Did you mean to respond?”

    I will use that as a start to my text “hey my phone reminded me i didnt respond to this. So sorry!”





  • Right there with you.

    Wake up at 530. Get myself ready. Wake the kids up. Get the kids ready and fed. Out the door by 720 to get then to school then me to work by 830. Work until 5. Drive home, an hour if traffic sucks.

    On a good day, my wife beats me home and has dinner going. An hour to 1.5 hr family time before kids get ready for bed. Get them down, clean the kitchen from breakfast, to-go lunches, and dinner. And its 10pm.

    How are we supposed to get by?




  • Yes, there are people that can’t do that.

    I know someone who received a phone call in the morning to ask if they were actually cool with their husband taking a trip across the country with him. Ruined her whole day. Couldnt go to work because she didnt want to cry in the office. She knew about the vacation and was fine with it. Still not entirely sure how that ruined her day, but it did.






  • My sister in law and her husband are these people.

    She had a kid in high school was non-verbal autistic that she gave up for adoption and ignored. Her first son with her husband was definitely on the spectrum and struggled hard in social situations and in school. School actually pushed for the diagnosis, but there were the “no way. Not my kid.” Kind of people. And did nothing.

    Their second kid came along and hes further along the spectrum than their other kid. He’s 6 and still not potty trained and barely talking. My 4 year old passed him developmentally a year or more ago, which seems to have been the catalyst for them to seek help.

    Both kids are doing better no that theyre seeing specialist and on development plans with the school. I just cant believe they waited so long… especially because her brother has a son who is also non verbal autistic, and his parents got him diagnosed before i even knew you could see those traits in children
