My manager is another woman, who is about 4-5 years older than me. She got promoted into the role relatively recently.

I am a professional, and I am kind but can be firm when necessary. Yet, a conflict came up at work and my boss said to me, "I'm worried that you're too sweet to handle this, so I will take care of it." I found this to be really infantilizing/belittling because I've been working there for a long time and have frequently and successfully handled conflicts and yet she always talks to me like I'm too fragile to handle things. Every other superior in the place has always had confidence in me, so I don't know why she always has to talk down to me like this. I'm getting really sick of it. I've tried to prove that I'm strong enough to handle things, but she just can't seem to accept that I'm capable. I'm starting to think she's threatened by me surpassing her or seeming more capable than her.

Do you think I'm being belittled, or am I being too sensitive?

Plus, if she thinks I'm too "sweet" to handle my job, then why am I there? She's even started calling me "Sweet ____ (insert my name here)" as a nickname...

My boyfriend (26 yo) and I are in a long distance relationship with different time zones. We FaceTime each other everyday, while cooking, watching movies, working and everything and can spend hours talking. But sometimes we’re talking and he’ll just go and start playing games online with his friends, putting his headphone and we’re still on FaceTime and it’s okay I think when I’m also busy doing something else but today he started to play without even telling me and I was watching him for a few minutes and told him I’ll call him back when I’m done with my friend. He sent me a message telling me he’s playing game with his friend online so I told him okay text me when you’re done and he said yes. But I feel mad about it, we don’t have all the time we want to talk specially during the week because of our work so in the Saturday we should be more available? I know he also want his free time playing but I would rather him telling me okay I’m going to play with my friend for some time I’ll call you back after than just starting to play randomly when I’m just doing nothing but talk to him. I wanted to go out today but since he was sick I decided to stay home and talk to him. He’s always the one calling me and everything so I don’t force anything. Am I wrong? Should I say something? 😅

I have a 5 year old nephew that pushes my buttons , I get it he’s a kid and I’m fine with a bit of mischief here and there

But, he does this new thing where he starts spitting at me (like literally) then running away and laughing.

The parents don’t do shit, even if they do , it’s taken so lightly

Its to the point where it fucking stresses me out mainly cos nobody solves it and I’m left to deal with this brat by myself that doesn’t even listen and when I get angry I look like the bad guy

I don’t know if it’s stress but it even made me cry the other day, cos of the shit family I have
