I am new and do not want to do this. I am a caretaker in a nursing home that absolutely has Dementia patients who can not consent to this.

They have "wine Wednesday" which consists of not just wine but also liquor and mixed drinks.

The Residents are a mix of regular people who are in the home for regular care but there are absolutely Residents with Dementia who take Alzheimer's medication who are drinking alcohol. I was asked to help with this and I declined and was told "you have to".

I don't know what to do and have never seen a Nursing Home do this. Is this not unethical?

My Bipolar SO does this thing when he's manic where he buys MASSIVE amounts of sugar and eats it all in a huge binge fest. He then becomes like a toddler and seriously runs around like an idiot and it's the most vile annoying thing I have ever had to deal with.

I am 45 years old and raised a very hyperactive child with ADHD. This child was not his but this is the same behavior coming from a grown man.

Any other time, he is a fully functional normal adult. He is extremely health conscious to the point where he won't put anything unhealthy in his body. It's all organic.

I am going through a serious crisis at work and with my (now adult) daughter and I can't even talk to him because he is incoherent on the phone. It's almost like he snorted lines of cocaine (he didn't). He just left me a long voicemail ranting about absolutely nothing. Total incoherent speech pattern.

He has been diagnosed. Unmedicated. I'm fed up with this because after he comes down from manic episodes, he complains about weight gain and tells me it's my fault. He buys all the trash food himself and I have nothing to do with it.

Thanks for letting me vent.

The job market is awful and I just went on an hour long interview for a second job. This recruiter is well aware I am already working 40 hours a week and need more income to survive. When I asked what the next steps in the interview process are she told me "Just so you know we don't bother to contact candidates who are rejected.".

This job pays $14 an hour.

I feel like these companies absolutely know how desperate we are. I am trying not to sound pathetic during interviews but I have a degree in IT (job was automated) and these companies are taking advantage of a saturated job market.

Is anyone else seeing this?
