Who's Wrong..Who's Right- Wednesday

Each week on Wednesday I will post three scenarios on various issues. All Opinions are welcomed. If you would like me to post an issue you are having trouble resolving and or want honest feedback; email me at happyday3212001@yahoo.com and use Scenario for the subject.

Scenario 1#

There is this ultra friendly and cool chick in the office that everyone loves and adores. Chick is cool with all who comes in contact with her. If there is something that needs to be done she is “your girl” she is very creative and very outspoken. If it’s your birthday or your wedding you can expect to receive major recognition from her albeit balloons at your desk, gift cards, cupcakes ect. There is however a major issue with her that goes without being noticed. Chick has body odor out of this world. You can stand next to her and even as much as walk past her and it hits you like a sack of marbles. It’s like a musty smell, not rancid or funky like you might vomit but a rather stale smell that can not be missed. How does one go about telling her that this is an issue or do you even tell her and just tolerate it? Do you think she knows?

 I mean after all you don’t have to take this person home with you.

Scenario #2

Andrea who has two children has been dating Paul for a little over 6 months is wondering which direction the relationship is headed. Paul who is divorced has made it clear that although he wants to get married one day it will be no time soon. Andrea who has an estranged husband is actually in love with Paul but Paul plays the role as if he is just enjoying his self in their intimate relationship, and maybe his. They do dinners, movies, long drives, hang out with his friends; she even helped him pick out a car. Paul has never spent a single night at Andrea’s house. It’s always vice versa. Andrea feels as though since she has spent all this time with him marriage should be on the horizon and if so she will proceed with her divorce, except, Paul never references her children. Paul is not married for a fact and he is seeing only Andrea. He never makes her comprise her time with her children but he also never mentions them, its as if they don’t exist to him. Andrea decided early on that she didn’t want her children to meet him until she was serious that he would be the one but six months later she cant understand why he is not eager to meet them. What do you think Paul’s deal is?

Scenario #3

Kennedy has been taking care of her 8 year old son for the last 5 years of his life as a single mother. Kennedy and her son Jacobs father divorced when he was three years old. Bryan does work but he gets paid under the table. Kennedy does not collect child support from Bryan because she is allowing him to be responsible and take care of his son on his own terms. Bryan spends quality time with him and he buys him things when needed. Byran occasionally gives Kennedy extra money when she is broke or needs it.

Kennedy has been at her company for 5 years and she makes pretty good money.

Bryan asks Kennedy if she can allow him to claim Jacob on his taxes for the year as she has been able to do it all of the other. Do you think Jacob is justified in his request? Do you think Kennedy should allow him to claim the son for once since she has all the other times? How can this issue be resolved?

Whose Wrong Whose Right – Wednesday

Each week on Wednesday I will post three scenarios on various issues. Please comment with your honest opinion. *Names changed to protect the innocent

Scenario #1 :  Leonard and Janell got married in a very small ceremony a couple of months ago where only the immediate family was to attend. In order to honor the nuptials of their new marriage, they’ve decided to hold a reception for family and friends to join in on the celebration. Janell has 3 children from a previous marriage ages ranging from 6 to 14 and Leonard has a child living outside of state. Invitations go out to family and friends however the RSVP advises that there is only one kid allowed to attend per household. The intention behind this suggestion is so that the party and the invitees are not under the impression that this is a kid party.

Is  the new couple wrong for this expectation?

Scenario #2: Cathy and Roderick been married for about 11 years and they have a pretty healthy marriage. Cathy is very close to her family and spends a great deal of time with them whenever possible. Rod on the other hand never spends time with his family because his family has never supported his wife and his blended family with her two children. Rod has a child of his own but this child lives out of the country and he does not have any contact information for him. When it comes to Roderick’s mother, Cathy never comments or includes herself in his dealings. One night Roderick decides to pay his mothers rent without telling his wife out of fear of her distain for her and to avoid backlash.

Is Roderick wrong or right for going behind his wifes back and providing financial assistance for his mother. Also, what do you feel about his wife and mother not having a relationship?

Scenario #3: Leslie is battling some unresolved issues with her late father that passed maybe 6 years ago. For some reason she feels as if with his death he got off easier than he should have because of the lifestyle he lived. She feels that death was a cop out for him even though he became sick and suffered with pains. Just this past week, Leslie finds out that her sister is battling a terminal illness. Shortly after, her sister shares with the family her time is very little.  Leslie, ends up withdrawing from her whole family. When Leslie’s sister passes away she decides not to attend her services. The reason why Leslie makes this decision is because she doesn’t feel that her paying her respects is enough apologies for what the father did to the both of them in the past.

Was Leslie wrong for not attending her sisters services?
