I got several hundred dollars at my high school graduation, but we also threw a party and I have a lot of aunts and uncles so $20-50 each adds up. Not really any gifts, except the high school librarian did give me a two volume set of Sherlock Holmes stories which I still treasure... When I graduated college I got nothing. My parents flew across the country for graduation and that's about all I'd have asked of them.

In my culture it's normal to get a couple cars and a pent-house apartment after graduation. Maybe you are all simply pissing off your extended family? My culture isn't even that rare in upper east side NYC or islands off the coast of Miami.

come from inside the thread.

Typically a card with cash is what you give in return for a free barbecue and a keg... it's a little trickier during lockdown, but I think with a quick "sorry for the circumstances" note, the guests would be understanding. A little cash infusion really helps a brand new grad get set up. People know this.

It’s a useless post that doesn’t solve anything and only serves as a method for you to chide them. What are they going to do, stuff one of the kids back into the mom? Eat the fattest one?

duck trucker posted:It is insane but that's (probably) more an issue having to do with the insane cost of housing than their parenting style. Putting the only girl in a room with 3 boys is parenting style, and then wanting to leave her there and give one of the boys their own room is also parenting style. As is needing internet strangers to tell them how insane this is. Note that the parents that created this whole situation are sacrificing nothing, they have their own room while they've crammed their kids in like sardines. It wouldn't kill them to sleep in the living area, especially since this is supposed to be temporary.

Eat the fattest one? Obviously not I just honestly don't get sometimes why people keep having kids. Most millennials I know kept putting off even one because of economic reasons and not wanting to raise a kid till they're in a p stable place in their life and along rolls stories about parents having 4 in a 2 bedroom. I mean I guess in the story the family had been planning on moving to a bigger house in the near future, it's just an alien situation to get stuck in in the first place to me.

I’m dating a bad tattooist?quote:Hey I’ve (26F) been dating my partner (30M) for nearly 4 years, he’s a tattooist and has been for most of his life. Things have been going great and we’re really good together. However, his tattoos aren’t really amazing. He has done some that are alright, and others that are crazy good, but it’s really hit and miss and I’m worried I’m going to end up with a tattoo that’s awful.

ArbitraryC posted:Is "don't have more kids than you can support" really that far out there of a life philosophy? What if you can support them at one point in time and then life happens and it is hard to support them at another point in time? "Shouldn't have had them then" is useless to say, at best, and staggeringly rude besides.

The hiring manager [30sF] where I [30sF] am interviewing is someone I fired last year.quote:I hired a girl over the summer. She didn't make it through her probationary period. She came highly recommended by her references; she was a fast learner, had worked through a merger and helped it go through seamlessly.

OP is such an unclear writer that I have trouble believing they're good at the job.ArbitraryC posted:I like how she sorta just glosses over the employee was so good they immediately got taken back with a raise. Case in point: > she was offered her job back with a $3 an hour raise and added responsibilities despite having quit just days into her two week notice. She quit? or she was fired on the 89th day? How did OP, who presumably kept working there, not know she was hired back? If she didn't accept the offer that day, how did she end up working there?

kimbo305 posted:OP is such an unclear writer that I have trouble believing they're good at the job. I gathered she quit the previous job shortly into working there because she got a better offer from this one. Presumably she had applied to both, initially got accepted and started at the other one, then finally heard back from the OP's place a couple weeks later. When things didn't work out at the OP's place, the previous job was like "gently caress yeah we'll take ya back".

She got fired from her new job after 89 days, and then got offered her old job back with a raise, implying that they were willing to overlook her not giving notice because she's Just That Good when her supervisor isn't a redditor.

It's truly not clear to me that "job back" is the previous job, having not been previously mention, and then it's implicitly where OP Is interviewing? I'm all for reading the posts, but this was not that clear.

AITA for trying to ground my son from Playstation for "gamer" language? I was doing laundry in the other room and heard my son scream to somebody on his game "you just got raped!" I came out and saw him playing one of his shooter games with his friends online. I already don't like those kind of games but I know its not real so I tolerate it, but what I won't tolerate is that disgusting kind of language. I was upset my own son only at 11 would be using this kind of language, so I've decided to ground him because of it. Problem is, my husband thinks im overeacting and taking it away from him is wrong especially during stay at home order when there is not much to do. Says its just gamer language that the kids use and its not close to the real thing, sort of like when you say "gently caress" you dont actually always mean sex. I completely disagree with his explanation but he went behind my back and reinstated it for our son. Am i overreacting here?
