So I'm a little worried...Follow

#1 May 01 2006 at 11:15 AM Rating: Excellent
First off, hiya Asylum. Just got back from Florida and from visiting the folks last night. It was a really good weekend, very relaxing and restful.

Anyway, the Mr. told me something earlier and was freaking out, and I wanted to see if any of you had much legal knowledge. Apparently there's a distinct possibility that the video rental chain he works for may decide to close his store in the very near future. Now, he just transfered in as the store manager less than 3 months ago, and we moved to this bumfu[Aqua][/Aqua]ck town in the middle of nowhere because of it.

If they DO end up closing his location, are they under any obligation to make a provision for his continued employment? He's worked for this company for six years, and right now we're living exclusively off his income. If they closed his location and he lost this position, we'd end up having to move back in with his parents, and I'm fairly certain suicide would be my only option at that point. Needless to say, I'm a bit freaked out too right now.

EDIT: Also, whatever happened to that one ***** who couldn't speak English and was randomly flaming everyone? She still come around?

I don't believe they're under any legal obligation to provide him a job anywhere other then that store unless he has a contract with them saying so.

Well, fu[Aqua][/Aqua]ck. I guess it's actually a good thing my ex is moving in with us then, hopefully between the two of us we can foot the expenses until the Mr. finds a new job.

So anyway, enough about me, how are all of you?

I just got a hair-cut. Now I have to try to stay away from mirrors lest my day disintegrate into me staring at myself all day and getting no work done Smiley: grin

Ex moving in with you? Eww... Why do I see hair flying? To each their own though. I'm sure it'll work out some how Sabo. Unemployment FTW if they close his store.

Trust me, I needed it.. ask Danalog... my usual pattern is let it grow to barbarian-like proportions and then hack it all off in an endless cycle... The last time it was cut I did it myself.. without a mirror....




anyway, Sabs, how YOU doing?

Your man will be able to find another job, don;t stress it, If he was a manager at a place once, that's good resume fodder.

Unemployment is a good option, but I vote you and the Mr and the ex move into the Mr's parents' house and sell the rights to your reality show.

Now, brainstorm a title.

Long story, but the short version is that the Mr. and I are both good friends with my ex, and he's fallen on hard times. We wanted to help him out, and we have an empty bedroom, so we told him that if he needed a place to stay he'd always be welcome here.

Also... we're thinking of having a baby. Not now, but once we get our finances in order. Are we insane?

The ex brought it up on the phone actually, but I think he was joking. The current laughed and said sure as long as we drew the line at oral, but I think he was joking too. Either way, I am SO not having a threeway with my ex and my current. Eww.

His sister, probably. Else his best friend. Or there's always adoption. Just because we have two Tab A's and no Slot B's doesn't mean we can't end up with a rugrat. =P

See, that's why I asked. I figured someone was going to do "the deed" with someone else for a rugrat to be born.

Don't you think that you boning his sister or "injecting her with your seed" for a baby is kinda....weird?

Ontop of that, it's hard for most non-psychotic mothers to just part with an infant they carried in their belly for 9 months.

I'd highly suggest to aim for adoption and hope for the best.

Which one of you two lucky guys gets to poke his sister? It's not incest since he's gay right?

Surrogate mothering has been around for a really long time folks, I don't see where the amazement is coming from. If my sister couldn't have a baby, I would totally be a surrogate mom if it meant her being able to be a mommy, no matter how hard it would be for me to hand that baby over.

You're screwed, perhaps the company will transfer you again.

Having the ex move in with you? Yikes. Quite a gaggle of gays you've got. Good god.

She's only his sister through marriage, but he's a 'mo and she's a *****, so I don't think it would be the traditional method. We'd obviously need to go for artificial insemination. And I guess we'd flip a coin to see whose swimmers would be going up the creek. I dunno. Right now we're only talking about the possibility of having kids, we'll work out the details later if we decide we want to do it.

Artificial insemination runs around $10-$20k I thought.

Tell them to suck it up and get it on.

The term "at will employment" comes into play here. Generally, unless your boyfriend has an employment contract or agreement (something in writing) defining the terms of his employment with the company, it is assumed that your boyfriend is employed "at will." Meaning that the company or your boyfriend can decide to terminate employment at any time, without cause.

Some companies when they are "downsizing" try to move those affected to other positions or try to offer some kind of compensation package. At the very least, your boyfriend can draw unemployment benefits.

Before you guys decide to have a child (however that child comes to you), I suggest that you make sure everything else is in order. Adoption would be the cleanest way, as that would terminate the parental rights of the birth mother and only you and your boyfriend would be the parents. But with adoption, if you don't have your entire life organized and in order, it's very hard to get the social recommendation for the adoption to be approved.

So, lemme get this straight(har har), the mother of your child would be the wife of your gay lover's sister? Needless to say that's not the traditional method. Sounds like a nice little nuclear family to me. Sabo, you have just presented us with the most bizarro set of circumstances for bringing a child into the world I have ever heard of. I would really have to recommend the adoption route if and when the time comes, because sooner or later the tyke will want to know why it has two daddies, and then it will want to know who mommy is.

"Mommy is Shirley, you know, Aunt Mary's wife; Daddy A's sister."

QFT.

Hell, he could f[Aliceblue][/Aliceblue]uck you and then just unload into her. What's the big deal? She is most likely used to fists in there anywhere so she probably wont even feel a thing.
