I’m wondering if there’s a term for this:

Are you in line to perhaps take over the company upon his retirement? Anotherwords, are you the CFO and he's the CEO?

He said he wanted me to take over and he told two of his other sons the same thing. He says that when he wants us to work for free.

So I quit. Now I’m just working as a subcontractor for his bookkeeping- no more IT work for me. But he wants me to basically run the business for free and drop everything for him on demand.

I’m just not acknowledging the really condescending text he sent me and moving on.

Oh....
Nevermind. Sincere apologies Araz.

Yeah it’s a tough spot to be in. Everyone knows this is how he is but it’s frustrating. I have to be very careful to quit tactfully and not burn any bridges here.

I’m wondering if there’s a term for this:

He’s my father in law. He’s the owner of an IT company where I’m the bookkeeper. (I’m also a realtor and my husband owns a construction company). I used to be a full time network tech but I literally had a breakdown and tried to quit. He asked me to keep doing the bookkeeping as a favor to him but somehow turned it into him doing me a favor (but he’s not). He always acts like he’s doing me huge favors by paying me a salary and, now, compensation. Everything is so stressful with him.

It’s starting to really negatively impact our relationship. Every time I try to leave, he implies that I’m overreacting and selfish.

Andy isn’t for or against me quitting - he literally just blindly supports whatever I say in this particular matter which is nice, but not super helpful.

I’m wondering if there’s a term for this:

So a family member I have does this to me all the time. He’s like Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde. One minute I’m his favorite, the next I’m the worst. Sometimes he’s super condescending but then right afterwards he acts like I’m overreacting when I get upset.

This has been going on for years and I’m just not willing to put up with it anymore. I don’t want to say who it is, but it’s not my husband lol.

We have a work relationship where I barely get paid anything and he’s constantly condescending or mad about things he said he told me to do but never did. It’s frustrating.

I’d make more with a minimum wage job.

Addiction is such a strongly connotative word. Lets think of it like a commitment :)

Passion? Love even. Altruistic tendencies are not inbreed habits but are gifts passed down to us by those that have touched our lives for the most good.

You’re both right 😊

Does anyone use Pinterest?

I followed you too. It's zara ferrio with a space though, I had some trouble finding it. Why do you have so much food? Do all those pictures take you to recipes? Most of mine take you to ****porn sites, that's why I download them myself and post them.. lol

Yes all of them take me to recipes! They’re fantastic- even the low carb, high fat ones 😊

Mine's Docteur Ralph lol... you probably don't want to go there though. I don't have any recipes but I do have a giant image of every *******Playboy centerfold ever... every Playmate of every month since like 1955. Whenever they started, the first one was Marilyn Monroe.

Maybe it is just a bookmark site, but I download the images I find to my computer and then put them on Pinterest so they are easy to find and in some order. I really don't want to go back to most of the websites I found my Playmates on, I just want a picture of them all in chronological order. It is very interesting how much they have changed. It was very tame in 1955, and women had lots more body hair. Ahem

Hehe I followed you because I will not be put in a box! I’m unpredictable 😉 Maybe I like that sort of thing lol

I use Pinterest for recipes mostly but I have an extensive board. I find the website upload to be easier but it might just be because I use the app on my phone, never the desktop version?
