would you be irritated too?

so as we all know it’s christmas time which means we’re ordering presents from amazon, walmart etc and ups/fedez delivers them typically. lately my ups driver is getting lazy and isn’t looking at the numbers on the box (we all 3 have the same street address but we each have a 1, 2 or 3 beside it as well. so i watch the ups guy come and i know it’s supposed to be some packages for my mil and i see him take it to the neighbors porch, i know she’s home and i know she’s going to grab it as soon as he walks away because she usually does. i go to grab my shoes and i figure i’ll walk over in a little and get it from her but i end up getting side tracked by my 2 year old and i forget. she brings me my package maybe 30 minutes later and the box is ripped open, one of the packages had clear film around it and it was completely ripped off and just crumbled and thrown in the box. i chuckled so i didn’t come off as an ass and she apologized but come on dude really? i always check to make sure my name is on anything before i open it because it’s common sense and she could clearly see it was something she didn’t order because the film was clear! i realize tonight as im wrapping it she even opened the box fully and rifled through it after ripping the clear film off and reading what it was on the box. im so irritated right now its not even real. i could understand if she just opened the outer box but to rip the clear film off and then continue to open the box knowing its not yours is crazy. she even admitted she realized after she ripped the film off it wasn’t hers but clearly it didn’t stop her from opening it and going through it anyway.

I would be mad but I've made the same mistake after I opened the box and it was something I didn't order

You should definitely complain to ups.

i get just opening the amazon box but she opened the amazon box and then a whole other separate box she could clearly see was not something she ordered. she says she thought it was for her kids. idk how she would think something that clearly states “women’s coconut and vanilla scent set” is for her kids. let alone why she’d still rifle through it after she knew it wasn’t hers.

thinking about it tbh. i feel bad because he’s older but i mean damn if you’re to the point you don’t wanna walk four feet down a gravel drive to another porch maybe you’re in the wrong line of work atp.

No bashing or judgment but UPS drivers and workers have a hard time with the busy holidays going on so they mightve gotten confused I know the complex here has that issue often a out getting confused for

nah this guy has been doing it for years now. she’s the second neighbor i’ve had in the same house and he’s done it when the other ones lived there too. he just doesn’t read boxes, he throws them on the closest porch and bounces.

That's just plain laziness id definitely report it

But it’s also his job and if this is a constant thing then they need to know since I doubt you’re the only one it’s happening too.

yeah i just saw a girl on our local facebook page last night after all this say she’s missing a package too so clearly he’s half assing his job real bad

Time-out method at nursery

I just found out that they put our son on time out in the corner of the room for 2 minutes for pushing another child. He had been pushing a lot that day apparently but they didn’t tell us on pick up. We found out coincidentally because his key person was at the drop off this morning. I’m fuming! What would you do? Am I overreacting?

Appropriate age to go out

I am the kind of person who struggles with being at home all day, not good for my mental health. I have a 1 month old and I am trying to start doing things with her. Like going ti the park, running errands. But people seem surprised and kind of judgy that I am out with the baby at her age. Is this wrong?

Hidden veg mince pasty 🥐

Grated courgette and carrot mixed in with onion and mince and a little bit of tomato puree. 😋

My daughter has become a little fussy and prefers anything she can hold so made these today for lunch! She’s 14 months old 🩷

Am I wrong for getting upset?

Long story short. My cousin made a group chat for bridesmaids and groomsman to plan out bachelorette party.
I sent one text about finding a sitter and my cousin texts me to stop saying stuff like that cause no one gives a shit? As if no one else is gonna mention their personal lives during planning a trip of 10 people?
I. Put the screenshots. I got so hurt I told her just count me out if the mention of my kid offends everyone.

First Mother’s Day

I feel like such a bad person for this & I’m not looking for sympathy or anything but yesterday was going so well and than I got really emotional and upset because my partner done everything special he could have done but he didn’t even put a few lines in a card from my baby for my first Mother’s Day card..
He said that because there was lots of writing in the card he didn’t realise that it would have hurt or upset me so bad but it did.. I let it affect me alot more than I feel like it should have but I LOVE sentimental things I love little things like that, meaningful stuff. Especially being my first Mother’s Day that I’ve dreamt of all my life..
There is a big age gap between me and my partner and also he’s Italian so maybe he didn’t realise but I just feel so goddam shit about it. Like I ruined MY day..
I spent the day all on my own with my baby at my mums house instead of with my partner bc of me reacting the way I did and I just felt like I toke it so wrong..
I feel I can’t forgive myself for this and I am the type of person to keep thinking about the situation even if my partner says everything’s okay. I beat myself up about it so badly and in such a low mood for it. Even today and yesterday has passed😞
Maybe this may help getting it off my chest and writing it down but how can I seriously live with myself from this? What can I do better?
I’m such an awful person I know😫😫

Roles between a sthm and a working partner?

I started wondering if our arrangement makes any sense. When I was pregnant I saw a cute video of a couple where they sleep seperately, the mom takes care of the baby during the night, the husband wakes up early in the morning takes over so the woman sleeps a bit before he gets to work I suggest this arrangement to my husband and we both liked it. Since I gave birth to my 22 month old boy, we are sleeping separately, I’m taking care of everything. My toddler still wakes up during the night every two hours on average. I wake up in the morning to make his breakfast and drive him to the train station and pick him up later in the day. I clean and cook and take care of my boy, with no appreciation or thank you. If I say I’m tired it turns he’d say what are you doing all day or he’d remind me of how he’s paying for everything. I am emotionally and physically exhausted and I don’t feel this is how a team should work.
