Is there some way to 1) retain the sense of personal integrity 2) accomplish a corporate goal with a team whole 3) pleasing the powers-that-be?

Perhaps there isn't right now, which seems unfortunate because we as people can choose our realities to our several and joint satisfaction.

I am fortunate in being able to communicate with people in person for their benefit. I've already achieved the stated goal of engagement. That's we'll and good on the surface, however philosophy affects approach. I interact with a patient based on my technical and emotional assessment, which doesn't work for checklist mentalities. Patient first money second seems to work better for everyone than the reverse. The latter leads to more paperwork for compliance which takes away from very limited time. People recognize insincerity.

In the end I'll do as I think best and let my performance in accomplishing the stated shared goal but to thy ownself be true.
 
I love her as a mother, but I don't really like her as a person.

My 9 yr old tells me he loves me but he doesn't like me when I tell him I will not buy him another Skylander and make him do chores to raise the money instead.

The goal of a parent is to be a parent, not a friend.

I would argue that she hasn't been a very good parent, she lets her personal relationships take precedence over her kids, and she has since i was about 12. Her boyfriend for example; if I ask for a ride to the subway station (about 2 miles) and she says sure fine. Then her boyfriend finds out, suddenly I can't get a ride and I have to walk the 2 miles in the snow because giving me a 10 min ride is "pandering".


That's a very simple example of what she has done for the past 7-8 years
 
Youre in healthcare arent you? Pretty much every healthcare company in the country right now is using Obamacare as an excuse to stiff the workers.
 
Oh no, you misunderstand, I appreciate all she has done for me,


she hasn't done much, but what she has done I do indeed appreciate. I love her as a mother, but I don't really like her as a person.

You clearly have NO idea what it takes to raise a child.

Just raising your spoiled ass is a harder job you will EVER have.....and that's even if you moved to china and worked at a labor camp or went to south america and worked at a mine.

YOu have NO CLUE

With your attitude I would make your ass walk too....no coat!!!

And yes, we can tell she hasn't don't job AT ALL, simply by seeing the results (YOU).

As a stepparent myself, I get the feeling there is a lot of information let out from that story.

Enough of this now. Off to take the red pill with a beer.

Can I purchase your services you seem to know EVERYTHING, i mean seriously man, you know exactly how hard I will work in my ENTIRE life and I am only 19, you can see YEARS into the future if that's the case.


Sit the fuck down, stop acting like you know what's going on and live your OWN damn life. You can't honestly be serious when you say raising me is a harder job than i will ever have. I mean that's just retarded, especially since you have no idea what it took to raise me, I am pretty damn self sufficient all things considered and have been for years.



TL;DR dont be a wise and beautiful woman

*hugs* It's really tough. There are no easy answers when people are involved. At the least, some good comes of all your effort. Maybe there's some alternative that you and others might propose, but my experience has shown that such genuine efforts rarely result in change. Here's hoping 🙂

Why so angry?

Not raising YOU. Parenting in GENERAL. It is the hardest job (if you were to ask me).

And yes I've done some very hard jobs over the years....

I can use you as a good example here. YOu see, your mother probably dedicated her entire life to putting food on the table and clothes on your back.....and given you shelter.

SHE DIDN'T GET PAID FOR ANY OF IT.

Ever had a job you don't get paid for, YET it's the hardest fucking thing you can possibly do? AND its 24/7 not just 8 hours a day?

Yes under such EXTREME condition people do make mistakes and fuck up! Hard to blame them.

And THEN you end up with a spoiled little brat like you that bitches and whines about how "shitty" his mother was for doing the hardest job on this planet?

Give it 10-20 years, trust me, you WILL understand.

You should be thankful you even have a mother, clearly your father ditched you the second "responsibility" came into the picture.

Or maybe, you are just like him? What do I know?

Are you Asian? If so then your parents suck. My parents would almost let me have whatever as long as I did well in school. Both I and my brother are more successful than they are, and that's something they are and should be proud of.

Good old classic white family. Though 90% of my friends are asian
 
again with arrogance? Seriously dude, don't make statements that you can't back up, and that is something you will most likely never be able to back up.

Not arrogance. You take what I say however you want it.

You also have a choice to ignore it.....it really doesn't matter to me.

Just trying to give you the other perspective, cause it's hard to understand ANYTHING when you simply look at things from your shoes.

Then you're an idiot for thinking i am only taking it from my perspective, the only reason i still love her as a mother is because i choose to look at it from other perspectives, if I didn't i'd probably hate her.


Also, yeah it is arrogant to think you can tell me that I "WILL" understand in 10-20 years, sorry but stfu that is nothing but arrogance xD

Yet you say "you appreciate what she has done" and go on to say "she hasn't done much"

Riiiight

What I see is that you seem to have received a special revelation of what is right and good and apply it to all you see and clearly don't see. You are being an arrogant ass.

Some of us can only begin to see when we take off our shoes, because we see that we stand on holy ground.
