Hi everyone! I’m a college student and I’m thinking about getting a job as a waiter in a cafe. But my parents are against it, my dad says that kind of job will ruin my resume, like no decent company...

Sounds like your parents are having a hard time letting go. There is always reward in hard work. And you need to start earning your own way. I can't... think of any employer who would look down upon a resume filled with a history of you handling various jobs. On the contrary, who wants to hire someone who is afraid of hard work or 'too good' to do a job that some people consider beneath them. Go for it, but don't do it in secret. It sounds like it time for you to have a reverse talk with your parents that you are getting more independent and them letting go is something they need to embrace. You could ask if they prefer you lounge on their couch playing video games into your thirties? ;) more

I work from home and take my 2.5-year-old to my mother-in-law for half the day (she lives just down the street). That was the plan from the beginning and both she and my husband agreed to it. Now my...

You have two things to consider and decide on. First of all, either you never asked your mother-in-law why or you just didn't tell us that part. I... hope you don't hold it against her. It is very possible that she was willing to try to take care of your son, but maybe in reality the job became much harder for her than she expected. A young child takes an awful lot of energy to manage, which you are well aware of. Perhaps Mom just came to the realization she couldn't handle it. If so, I hope you do not hold it against her. Secondly, it sounds like your husband is opposed to it and maybe there's something going on you don't want to hear. Maybe it's best that you stay home and take care of your son. Rather than feel like you're getting 'stuck', perhaps it will be a major blessing to you to experience all your son's firsts and bond with him in a way that only time spent with him will allow. Many women would love to be in a position where they can be a full-time Mom, but cannot afford it. more

Every Christmas, our office does Secret Santa. This year, I got a bouquet of little roses… but the red ones were made out of lingerie. I’m honestly shocked. Is this some kind of joke from my coworkers...

Before jumping to conclusions, are you SURE they were made out of lingerie? After all, you said they were little roses, which means they are simply... small pieces of fabric. Lingerie and sheer/and or flowery-type fabrics look the same. It doesn't automatically mean your roses were made OUT of lingerie. It could simply be a fabric that looks like it could be lingerie. It's possible the giver would be equally shocked to realize you concluded they gave you 'lingerie' as a gift. more

Hello everyone ! i work for the theater,tv,movie and cruise ships industry as a tailor I need advice. My industry is only on call so in between gigs i need to stay employed but its hard to get a job...

If you have a college degree, you can become a substitute teacher. That way, you can work whenever you want between gigs (they are pretty desperate... for substitutes) but leave whenever a job comes up without having to worry about the employer being upset.
