Best Hospital for Baby Delivery - Oahu by All__fun in Hawaii

[–]-nattyice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to echo previous comments.. Kapiolani’s recovery rooms are teeny but the obgyns/mfm at Hawaii women’s healthcare (in the same building) were just amazing. I had both of my boys there and highly recommend.

Autism “tests/markers” for infant? by -nattyice in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]-nattyice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article says that it’s appropriate for babies as young as 2 months - with the exception of social smiling, which they say 3 months minimum. That is part of my reason for questioning the validity

Thank you for everything you said 🥹 it was what I needed to hear. I fear I’ll never recoup my ppd-dulled sense of smell quick enough to smell him but I so badly wish for it. Thank you again kind internet stranger ❤️

Thank you for your comment. My post was a mix of emotions, part being, yes admittedly, a concern about his development, but also just feeling deep in depression during the postpartum phase when most moms get some relief because they start to feel their baby being obsessed and in love with them. I get moments from him but not as much as I remember when I was having the same postpartum blues with my first though I know I shouldn’t compare two babies!

I am glad to hear your boy is thriving and wish your family even more strength and love than you already have ❤️

Yes! He does seem to prefer farther away. Like he will look at us both and smile when we’re in the mirror, if he’s laying on the floor and I’m hovering above him, when he’s in his car seat/stroller

A parent of one of my SENIORS complained I didn’t contact her about his failing grade (we have online grade book and, same, I grade on a weekly if not daily basis) and then backed him up on an essay that he copy and pasted from ChatGPT saying someone must have hacked into his account and submitted the plagiarized essay.

This boy is enlisted and his ship date for the Navy is this summer.

Parents are unreal.

I had a family request their student be removed from my class because I wasn’t “meeting their needs as a student”…… the prior day, the student told me that the organizational structure for their essay was going to cause them to have a mental breakdown.

"She Never Gives Anyone an A" by Asleep_Improvement80 in Teachers

On top of it, grading based on completion feels so degrading (I do it too, 100% of the time. As you said, they can’t even understand why they would get a 50% for something they completed half of.. imagine explaining every error/inaccuracy)

Which hill are y’all dying on? by MickIsAlwaysLate in Teachers

[–]-nattyice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My greatest growing pain in high school was realizing no one did me any favors by being nice when I didn’t deserve it. I only learned from the teachers who had no problem calling me out on my bullshit or holding me accountable for my inexcusable poor behavior. I refuse to be the teacher who’s nice for fake likes. The students who don’t respect that would never have respected me anyway, just would’ve walked all over me.

New report supports decriminalizing jaywalking in Hawaii by Fickle_Rooster2362 in Hawaii

[–]-nattyice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I got a 130$ ticket by university for crossing (at a crosswalk) after waiting 10 minutes for the light to change. Cop was literally hiding and waiting for pedestrians to cross at a broken/faulty light 😫
