WorkI(29f) work as a waitress at a restaurant with a point system. It's 1 point if you are late, 3 points to call off with notice, and 5 points for calling off within 4 hours of your shift. This is fine with me as I have no points this year and have only called off once since 2018. I'm the type who covers shifts, stays late and generally just go to do my job. Last week, I ended up calling off a...

RelationshipMy husband doesn't know how to cook. He is also not a fan of the food I cook from my country of origin. Seeing him living off fast food motivated me to learn to cook his family's common meals. It took me a while to get it done properly but now I can cook an entire list of his favorite meals. He praises my cooking and encourages me to learn more. While we were eating dinner at his parent's h...

ParentingMe (28F) and my husband (27M) disagree on how we should handle Christmas mornings. For perspective, I am an only child. Christmas morning was always done at home with my parents, and after opening gifts, we’d head over to my grandparents to celebrate with them. They all still live local. My husband is the middle of 3, and they often had family that lived out of state. So Christmas morning was ...
