My husbands employer is stealing from him

has anyone ever worked for or known someone that works for Verizon? Specifically cellular sales? My hubby has worked for cellular sales for almost three years and every now and then there’s always a check of his with a bunch of money missing from it. It’s a 100% commission based job so if a customer return a phone or tablet or something the money he made from that sale will be charged back to him and he has to pay for it. Whatever, we knew that going in. But last month his check had over $1,000 missing on it and the only reason he was given was because customers stopped internet service he sold. Well he called each of the customers they said cancelled and every one of them said they still had active internet and had no plans of cancelling service. My husband is not as outspoken as I am and pretty much just lets it go. This month he’s also missing money and draft points with no explanation so he will get a horrible schedule on top of missing money. He says there is no way to look at their paystubs to really figure out where the missing money is going which I find sketchy. He still won’t voice this to anyone higher than his immediate boss. We can’t pay our bills and he’s already working two jobs. I feel like he really needs to reach out to someone higher up but he refuses just saying they won’t be able to do anything. I’m so frustrated they are essentially stealing from us and he doesn’t care. I want to go over his head and email his head boss but I don’t think that would help the situation much. I just feel lost.

If you emailed them he’d probably get fired but I do think you need to have a serious talk with him and tell him how him allowing them to steal is making the work he’s putting in pointless. Explain to him there’s no point in working if he isnt getting paid for his work and also explain to him how them stealing money is severely effecting your household and financial stability. Sometimes people don’t understand exactly how serious it is until we thoroughly explain it and that’s why they brush it off it’s not that they don’t care sometimes the problem doesn’t seem big enough for it to be worth the stress . I’m sure once he realizes how serious it actually is he’ll say something.

There has to be a way he can look at his stubs. Print them off or there should be some type of server he can log into to get them. If he’s having issues I’m sure he can call corporate or HR and really figure out what’s going on.

There are class action lawsuits like this being paid out against companies not paying what they should! Look up lawsuits or law offices that handle class action lawsuits or even if there's already one open against Verizon specifically

Resentment and placing blame on partner

Firstly, please don’t judge me - I’m aware all my thoughts aren’t rational and I do already feel badly about them

I’m finding myself becoming easily frustrated, annoyed, and placing a lot of blame on my partner for many things. Now I’d get it if he was rubbish but he’s not - he has the baby straight away when he gets home from work, he lets me get ready and shower before he goes to work, he pitches in with the chores and gives me any time I ask for off. He doesn’t go out loads either.

I do a lot of the mental labour - realising we need more of and purchasing clothes, milk, groceries, deciding dinner, cooking, cleaning, thinking about what baby needs, etc.

However I just find myself annoyed and blaming him for so many things I find difficult. I know this isn’t fair, but it’s almost like I’m angry that he’s finding it easy and I’m not. Angry if I’ve just got the baby to sleep and he doesn’t think and closes doors to loudly. Angry when he doesn’t dress baby warm enough, or when he puts him in a car seat with a coat on. When he forgets a blanket or doesn’t wash his hands and plays with him. When hes snoring and I’ve just got the baby to drift off.

We have had many conversations and he has tried to take loads off me but it never feels like enough for me to stop being annoyed with him.

Am I experiencing some sort of post partum mental health issues? I find myself upset and crying a lot. any advice would help.

Nursery lunches?

My daughter is nearly 10 months old and starting nursery next month. I want to send my daughter in with lunches so I know shes eating healthy meals but I'm honestly so lost as to what to put in her little bento lunch box that will keep till lunch time and doesnt need reheating. Ive been doing loads of baby led weaning at home, but I tend to make it fresh or pull stuff from the freezer I've previously made and defrost and reheat.
Could you show me some of the lunches you've been giving your baby? Or have you been been letting the nursery deal with the food?

Parenting 24/7 is harder than going to work full time?

I’m having a debate with my partner as he’s done nothing to help since. Our 14 month old was born, I’ve done it all alone all day and all night. He gets a break when he comes in from work all night I never get a break
He try’s to tell me it’s harder going to work full time 5 days a week than parenting ALONE 24/7?
What do you think

What would u do? What should i do

So to try to explain this in the best way possible I have a very small apartment.
I opened my back door which leads directly to the laundry room of the building. Lately, I started bringing my son in the laundry room with me because he bangs on the door and tries to get out.

Today I opened the door to get my stuff out of the dryer. I saw I guess my neighbor putting stuff in the washer. It’s a very tight space so I closed the door and was planning on going back after he leave instead of crowding up the space with the baby. Plus I was in shorts and had no bra on, it was an older man.

I latched my door with the dead lock as I usually do so that I do not get locked out and I just left it that way without thinking about it.

I turned my back walk maybe about 5-7steps. My apartment is barely 15 steps front to back.
Turn around. Realize my baby is GONE he’s only 16 months!

I start yelling for him. I approach the door and I hear my son laughing…
The man had opened my door to lure my son in the laundry room with him without me knowing!!!!!!!

They were playing 🤯

He was there for no more then 20-30 seconds if that. It happened so fast, he doesn’t speak good English he’s polish
My door usually slams loud when closed, so this was done quietly…..


When I discovered that the man was with my son, I was trying to simply take my kid back in the house, but he continued on playing and I was yelling at my son that he shouldn’t be wondering without me.

No, first off I know for a fact, my son did not open the door number one. It’s very heavy and number two. He doesn’t know how to open doors yet.

And I asked the man straight out did my son open the door and he said no I did.

My son could get the door to open maybe an inch, I know that. So he must have done that and the man just decided to open it and bring my son with him.

I’m so outraged. Annoyed, uncomfortable. I live alone just me and my son.

What do I do?

I don’t know if he is maybe a visitor, I see his car sometimes but usually it’s another person who looks like him with a different car. Maybe my neighbors dad is my best bet.


Anyway. What should I do? Should I bring this to management. Should I approach my neighbor and figure out exactly who that was?

Thanks ladies wish me luck

I live in a small 2 bedroom flat. How do I keep my home smelling nice?

Especially bedroom considering dirty laundry lives in there too. I do laundry once a week because I don’t use enough to do more frequent.
But I just want my room smelling nice and cosy.

The more natural the method the better ladies 😣
I open windows everyday. I don’t get enough sunlight for plants 😭
