I only visit bars with Tiffany lamps and those worn brass handrails attached to the side of the bar. Like Applebees.

Annual review today, I met my goal yet again of not getting fired. Despite how I may come across on this forum, I do actually take my work pretty seriously so I don’t expect to ever get fired but stuff happens.

Tomorrow is once again Pi Day! And steak & BJ day. And my anniversary.
My husband sent 18 white roses to my office. I got a Teams message from corporate security, without additional context. That was a wild ride for a few minutes, wondering what I’d done to get fired.

You should come by and show me how to do that. I could NOT figure that out from watching youtube.
Same problem with the raspberries, don’t really know what I’m doing.
At the vet. Dog’s stitches are out! She’s cleared to run on soft surfaces.

If I found out tomorrow that my biological son was somehow not my biological son - he had been switched at birth by the hospital or something - why on earth would that change how I treat him or feel about him?!

Could be. But i figure it.wouldve crossed at queenston lewiston near buffalo, then to clearance in the gta. Heres hoping.
Reminds me of when we.used to have to wait 6-8 weeks for actuarial books.
I would agree to that, except C is also not H1’s child but H1 treats C like she is his own. It’s the inconsistency I have a problem with.
And if anything, I would think H1 should have a bigger problem with C because C’s father is an old boyfriend of her mom and made semi-regular overtures about her mom leaving H1 for him. D’s father is I think more or less a one-night stand.
Don’t know. Not my problem. H1’s loss, D’s gain. She’s happy, her dad is happy, his family is excited to get to meet her and all that good stuff.

The legal messiness is separate from the topic. Yes, I would hope that both families would be amenable to a situation where they got to know their biological children, but ultimately what to do about that would depend on the age and bonds of the child. If it was discovered at one week old, I would say the best course of action would be to swap the babies back, and that would likely still be very hard. If it was discovered at 10 years old, then it would be traumatic to do that to a child. Ages 1-3 I think are pretty uncertain to me. But we do know that children experience trauma that young, even if they retain no memory of it, so I’d want to discuss with many experts in that situation.
Ultimately though, it’s about what is best for the child, and shouldn’t be about the feelings of the adults. This man was presumably happy to raise this child believing it was his, and it was only when he found out it wasn’t his biologically that he decided to punish said child. A person who could go from parental love to no relationship at all is just a bad person, that’s that. You can separate the actions of the cheating from the person resulting from it, but he seems unwilling to step up and do the right thing.
Cheating isn’t right, hiding the parenthood of a child from the husband is not right, but it’s more wrong to inflict trauma and harm on a child for a situation they didn’t control. ESPECIALLY if that child has grown to know and love that person as a parental figure. It’s fine to say “hey, I’m not your dad biologically, but this doesn’t change our relationship or my love for you, I’m still your dad, you’re still my child, nothing could ever change that.” It’s wrong to punish said child.
And in the US, in many states if a child is born inside a marriage, the legal father is the husband, even if there is evidence that someone else may be the biological father. And it’s very hard to legally change that, even with evidence. This Reddit thread and some of the comments are pretty interesting. https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/s/162fWEf4Za
