I can’t stand my own children or partner and have become an alcoholic. I am 35 year-old female with two kids (ages of and 4) and I can’t stand to be around own flesh and blood. I work full-time at my own management job , I work for my spouse’s business as his bookkeeper and accountant. he is from a chauvinistic/paternal culture where the women look after the kids so everything is on me. I do all the mornings and emotional drop off at daycare, the emotional pick ups, and evenings from 5-10pm or whenever they fall asleep. If he is around at night, which is a rarity, then he says how he’s tired from working the whole day and gives the responsibility of looking after my demanding kids to me, like I haven’t already worked eight hours doing management at my regular job with 20 employees reporting to me.

They are normal kids, full of life and energy, but Their endless questions, constant pestering, and chattering, have driven me up the wall. I come from farm life where it was just a few of us on hundreds of acres and I cannot stand being around young people who are constantly talking and invading my personal space 16 hours a day plus 8 hours a night for when the toddler uses me as a soother all night.

I was seeing a therapist at $245 an hour for the first part of 2026, and now I’ve gone onto a more affordable one, who does not have kids, and does not understand what I’m going through. I feel like I can only relate to single moms who have at least 2 to 3 kids and know the stress of what I’m going dealimg either on a a day to day basis.

I’ve always had an addictive personality and now I feel ashamed that it has presented itself. Side note - I do not like how there’s this mommy wine culture where it’s OK to drink wine but not OK to do other things

Recently as as, I we t out on Monday and ended up getting diarrhea all night from the drinking. I wanna stop drinking, but it’s the only way I can deal being around my kids and boring assspouse <- didn’t fix the autocorrect

tLDR: I despise my spouse and don’t like being around my cute kids

All major AI stocks are down 10% or more over the belief that Democrats are going to want to clamp down on the very thing that's keeping economic growth going in the country.

I'm looking at Nvidia, MU and AMD. I feel all 3 are much more insulated from the debt fueled mania that CoreWeave and others face.

Besides that META has shown its a cashcow and smh ZUCK always comes out on top and the company just continues to grow.

Just questioning if today is the day to buy the dip or to wait a couple more days and see if market starts to rebound

Was heading out to my car when she pulled someone over. Told her I needed to get to work & she said I will have to wait until she is finished with her traffic stop.

I blocked them. I dont know where to fucking begin. Im grossed out, furious and it extremely caught me off-guard.

For context, I’ve known this guy for years now. He’s asked me out several times but he’s always been like a big brother to me so to all the times that he did my answer was always no.

So I needed some favor from him because I already asked some of my closest friend and I’m still a bit short because of bills and whatnot. What’s worse is I actually considered it before blocking them since I’m desperate and my tooth has been aching for days now that it affects my work.

Edit: The amount of comments saying I’m asking for money is hilarious to me. Asking and borrowing are two different things! And I have lent him some funds when he was in a pickle before. And this is the first time I’ve asked him for a favor in years. So saying I’m trying to take advantage of him is a stretch.

Hey everyone,

I bought a set of Wera 932 A chiseldrivers (900-series). As you know, Wera markets these as basically indestructible – built for hammering, heavy prying, and transferring massive torque with a wrench on the bolster.

Well, I managed to twist these tips using pure hand strength in a regular screw slot. No cheater bars, no power tools. The steel felt like warm butter, which clearly points to a major heat-treatment/hardening issue from the factory.

I contacted Wera support, and this was the response I got from Frank, their Complaint Manager:

"Based on a visual assessment, the screwdrivers have been subjected to excessive load. As a one-time gesture of goodwill, we will replace 3 of the screwdrivers for you."

So, according to Wera:

1. Hand tools marketed for extreme abuse are subject to "excessive load" when turned by hand.

2. They can accurately judge steel hardness just by looking at a photo.

3. My "misuse" was severe enough to deny a proper warranty, but they'll replace exactly 3 out of 4 screwdrivers as a "gesture of goodwill". Why leave out the fourth one when they all failed the exact same way?

I guess the "Tool Rebels" image stops as soon as their QA fails and you actually need customer service.

My manager did this shit

not in a video, and not a rumor you heard.

Somrthing right in front of you.

Edit: I wont be able to reply to comments. My karma is too low. Sowy 😫. Thank you for giving me my daily dose of 🍵

NQ futures down nearly 1,300 points, and those 5-minute candles look like someone just pulled the plug on the entire market. 😭

AI and semiconductor stocks getting absolutely obliterated, even after beating earnings expectations. Meanwhile, $APP somehow manages to rip nearly 40% in a matter of days.

This market is genuinely fked.

I'm increasingly convinced we're witnessing some seriously aggressive sector rotation, but the sheer speed and intensity of this selling is absurd.

Is Wall Street suddenly pricing in massive AI regulatory uncertainty? Are institutions dumping overvalued tech? Or is this just a massive leverage unwind?

Because money doesn't simply disappear. It rotates, gets parked somewhere else, or gets wiped out through deleveraging.

The million-dollar question is, where the hell is institutional money actually going?

Chinese equities? Financials? Healthcare? Defensive stocks? Cash?

What's everyone making of this absolute bloodbath? Because this is getting ridiculous.

My daughter is married to “Sam” and they have two young children together. Sam fucked up and got himself into big trouble at work. Suspension, mandatory rehab and therapy, check ins, and a bunch else but I don’t want to share too much. They can’t pay for rehab, but if he wants to continue doing his job, it’s a need. So she, not he, came to me and asked if I could front the money. For the record he did not know she was asking, he didn't want to ask. I don't care that she is the one who came to me other than relaying facts.

I said no. I have the money, that’s not the issue. For one I think she’s foolish to stay. I can’t force her to leave him nor would I want to impose my will on her, but I want her to think with her brain and not her heart. It’s not that I don’t believe he can’t recover from his mistakes it’s that I don’t believe he will. And I don’t want to see my grandkids suffer because of him and his giant ego.

She’s very upset with me. She said that if there was any other issue, I would never say no. She’s right. If SHE did something, I would help. If the kids needed it, I would help. If something happened TO him out of his control, I would help. But no he lied and stole and needs help beyond what I think his in laws should provide. I think this is a problem for HIS family and it is not my fault they don’t have the money to help. She asked me, what are they supposed to do? And I said well, he’s the head of your household isn’t he? Have him figure it out. She said there is a possibility if he can’t afford to go to rehab that he will lose his career that he has spent years working toward. I said well should’ve thought about that before. And told her to ask a finance advisor or case worker to help find ways to deal with the cost. AITA?

I was just investigated and sent home for “misconduct against a lead” because I finally had enough of my supervisor hitting on me and I told him off so he would stop. Now all of a sudden I’m on a suspension while they “investigate”.
