WIFE FORCED TO QUIT JOB CAUSE SHE EARNS MORE THAN HER HUSBAND

WIFE FORCED TO QUIT JOB CAUSE SHE EARNS MORE THAN HER HUSBAND

Income between couples, why are there men that cannot take it when their wife is earning more than them.

A netizen recently posted online about how her lady friends were force to quite their high income jobs to satisfy their husband’s ego.

Here is the post:

I think guys need to be a lot less sensitive on some things. I had a long talk with my lady friends and apparently, some of them gave up good-paying jobs because their husbands couldn’t stand them earning more. Or if the lady is in the same field and has a higher rank.

Or higher degree of education. Be more confident in yourself and stop comparing yourself and feeling less manly. Your lady loves you for who you are.

What netizens think:

  • I think some people may blame their partner as “too sensitive/egoistic” when it’s them who want to leave for someone better.
  • That kind of mentality is pre-boomer. Couples should earn as much as they can, but they should not compare with others.
  • If the woman taller than me i turn off. Its a natural reaction.
  • If my wife earn more than me I will be very happy, If I lose my job the family won’t die. So I don’t really care if she earns more than me. As long she is working I am happy.
  • All these Egoistic people sounds like two of my midget friends.

GUY ENLISTING INTO NS, ASKS HOW TO SUPPORT FAMILY WITH NS PAY OF $630

GUY ENLISTING INTO NS, ASKS HOW TO SUPPORT FAMILY WITH NS PAY OF $630

I’m in a pretty bad situation. My pay barely covers monthly utilities, transport for all my family members, HDB rent, medication for my parents, groceries & and my little brother’s school fees & costs.

I’m working on a contract basis for a IT company as well as a Grab delivery rider on the weekends. 7 days a week.

Total monthly I’m able to bring back combined $3k. I’m the sole breadwinner for my family.

Once I get into NS in a couple of months, 80% of my pay will be taken away. I have no interest in serving NS at all, because pay is completely messed up.

Like even I heard financial assistance max is $500. Even then it’ll be $1130. Nowhere close to what I need to run my household.

If the army is willing to pay for all my house bills, medications & other bills, I’ll accept $630 with my mouth shut.

Who do I approach before NS? My principal focus is on my parents medicines, HDB rent & school fees. Food & transport I’ll manage. I need someone to cover the full costs of those.

I dont care abt the SAF, NS or anyone at all. My family comes first. I’ve no intention in NS life other than caring for my family & till my little brother is able to find a job after his poly studies.

I need some solutions, becos idw AWOL or go to prison for putting my family first.

Netizens’ comments

  • hi i’m a clerk who handles financial assistance for my unit. it does not cap out at $500 and i’ve seen it go up to $2k+ in certain situations.
    Go to your S1 or relevant commander and explain to him your financial situation. They will help kickstart the FAS procedure.
    I will say it is a rather slow process so do provide the necessary documents ASAP. They will ask for copy of all IC’s, CPF statements of all family members, divorce letters and alimony details(if applicable) and a commander may conduct a house visit.
    More documents may be required in more obscure scenarios. DM me if you need more information regarding this.
  • There are SAF financial assistance schemes that can help to alleviate your financial burden if your household income is sufficiently low.
    Alternatively, if you seek proper approval for your superiors you may be granted permission to work elsewhere to earn additional income, on a case-by-case basis.
    Stay strong bro!

BUKIT BATOK VEGETARIAN STALL REFUSED TO ACCEPT CDC VOUCHER FOR UNUSUAL REASONS

Announced as part of the Household Support Package in Budget 2021, about 1.3 million Singaporean households will receive $100 CDC Vouchers.

However, multiple netizens pointed out that it is not easy to use it due to participating vendors not doing their part of accepting.

Here is a recent incident that happened at Bukit Batok:

I was buying my lunch at the Blk 632 Bukit Batok Central coffeeshop, Happy Hawker. There is this vegetarian store, clearly has the CDC voucher sticker on it and when I wanted to buy my lunch using the voucher, the aunty attending to me said today cannot use the voucher. The reason given was they do not accept the voucher on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month.

I asked her is there such a ruling, she said no and told me because there are many people so they cannot allow the use of the voucher on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month because many people. I was like huh???But when I was there, there were not many people queuing up at the store. Probably this aunty find it troublesome to scan or what…take note of this…

Netizns poked fun

  • The auntie thinks she burning paper money ah offerings. must wait 1st and 15th? wth.
  • Me too, once went to a chicken rice stall at BB blk 395A wanted to use the CDC voucher but the staff say cannot use, reason being only 1 particular staff can help to scan the cdc voucher, the rest cannot help.. so if that staff is not around, we can’t use the cdc voucher.
  • Beside owner, other staff could install App on their phone and scan too. Probably Auntie doesn’t know how to use the App.
  • Our government should tell these hawkers who are participating this cdc better don’t participate if they comes out all these nonsense and Don’t say that government didn’t help them

Edmund Tan, the owner of an eatery, Chong Qing Steamboat, along Liang Seah Street and the boss of the 41-year-old woman who was slashed in the knife attack outside his shop, shared his account of the infamous attack.

Speaking during a Facebook live stream, Tan said that the victim was his worker; and that although he doesn’t know who the attacker was, he believes him to be the victim’s husband.

He said that his workers were caught by surprise by the suddenness of the attack and that when he had just arrived in his car, he was wondering why there was a man armed with a chopper going crazy.

He said that he was there before the arrival of the police, and that he didn’t know what to do.

He reflected on how he saw the attacker using the chopper to cut himself, before the police tased and arrested him, adding that the guy was out of his mind.

He shared that he talked to his worker before she went up the ambulance and asked her to stay strong, and hoped she is okay.

Tan’s daughter, Seymour, appeared on the live stream and said that she was very scared, as she started crying.

She said that the victim was someone she affectionately calls “da jie (or big sister in Mandarin)”.

Tan said that he is thankful to all of his neighbors who stepped forward to throw chairs and whatever they could find at the attacker.

He said that luckily everyone was brave and not scared cats, and helped to stop the attack from getting worse.

OTTERS SPOTTED HAVING DELICIOUS MEAL AT ULU PANDAN

OTTERS SPOTTED HAVING DELICIOUS MEAL AT ULU PANDAN

According to the Facebook group Singapore Wildlife Sightings, a group of otters was spotted at Ulu Pandan last Sunday (April 9).

The group of otters were seen hunting for fish and most of them seem to have gotten their prize. While otters look like small cute animals it is best not to go near them or touch them.

The otters have integrated well into our environment and sightings of the furry animal are getting more and more common.

What to do when I encounter otters?

  • DO NOT touch, chase or corner the otters. Observe them from a distance. Going too close to the otters may frighten them.
  • DO NOT talk loudly and do not use flash photography. Noise and light may scare and provoke the otters.
  • DO NOT feed the otters. The otters have their own food in the environment and their natural eating habits keep the ecosystem healthy.
  • DO NOT litter or leave sharp objects in the water. Clean and safe waterways filled with fish and aquatic life make good habitats for the otters to frolic and feed in.
  • DO keep your dog on a tight leash. Your dog might chase the otters and frighten them, and keeping your dog on a tight leash will help to keep it safe.

WOMAN SAYS SHE GOT TURNED ON BECAUSE BOSS CALLED HER “GOOD GIRL”

Boss called me a “Good girl” and I think it unlocked a kink I’m ashamed to have.

I respect my boss and yesterday morning before I left work I let him know of something that occurred that resulted in immediate action and was handled with no issues.

He said “wow what a good girl” and hearing him say that unlocked a turn on so fierce that I’m ashamed that I hope he calls me a good girl again.

Netizens’ comments

  • If he calls you “clever girl” you can eat his face off.
  • No shame in that, I like it too. I do imagine myself getting head pats from my boyfriend while he says I’m a good girl, pretty nice.
  • Let your freak flag fly! As a consenting adult you have every right to enjoy whatever fantasies make you happy as long as you are safe and no one is harmed.
  • I do recommend not getting your meat where you get your bread.

And congratulations on your self discovery. What a good girl you are!

  • My boss said that once to me and I felt disgusted but I don’t know how to confront someone not to say that sort of thing

29 Y.O DAUGHTER REFUSE TO GIVE MOTHER MONEY AFTER MOVING ABROAD

29 Y.O DAUGHTER REFUSE TO GIVE MOTHER MONEY AFTER MOVING ABROAD

I am 29F I grew up in a divided family, my parents hated each other forever. My dad has businesses and we weren’t close to being poor but he was cheap and never gave my mom any gifts or money.

Culturally, we don’t move out of our family’s house until marriage. But I got a good reason to get out of this house which is studying abroad. Now I work and live abroad alone, no friends and no family around. I worked so hard to get my masters abroad (my tuition was paid by scholarship) and got a job after that. Sometimes I get depressed and feel lonely then I call my mom she would just complain about my dad all the call and wouldn’t care about me at all.

Today she was complaining that dad doesn’t give her money and asked me to pay her bills there, she said that my brother 38M (he lives with her and doesn’t pay much) and only pays for the water and food and I need to help them. I told her that I pay my rent, and all bills, and I’m trying to save up to buy a car and paying for my driving lessons because I could not afford to learn it in SG.

I never ask them for money why would she ask me to pay their bills too especially since I don’t live with them?

She doesn’t listen to me when I say that, she ignores me and says that my brother pays some of the bills and I gotta pay part of it. I got really angry and told her that I won’t pay a single cent and I don’t owe her money and she hung the phone up on my face.

Am I an wrong for not wanting to send her money and being angry at her?

Here are what netizens think:

you don’t live there, you’re an adult with your own bills and rent to pay. She should be charging her son rent if money is an issue, not begging it off the child who is living independently

Supporting your family is always a choice that you make yourself. You’re not obligated to fund your family in any way.

if she doesn’t have enough money she needs to get a job/look for a higher paid job and ask the son who’s still home to contribute more. Just because something is cultural to your family doesn’t mean your obligated to do it.
