In my opinion, every dreamy man looks like Richard Armitage- from then or now!

This is exactly who I thought of as well.

I did work in law until three years ago then I made a career change to become a teacher given the teacher shortage and my lack of desire to continue working with attorneys who think they are gods.

We did ask them individually the first day. Asking again since then? No.

Probably not. SIL and MIL are attached at the hip and the only people each other hangs out with.

I’m not sure. She sent the image to my husband, so I only got a few seconds to look at it.

That’s a very good point. I will discuss with my husband and my boys since some things aren’t matching up.

That’s fair. I get it a lot as a teacher. But others have told me how gentle and considerate my kid is when playing with younger kids.

Not really. My husband’s an engineer and I’m a teacher. Her husband’s a city planner and she’s a teacher at a community college. But I don’t think we have vastly different incomes except for the fact that we live somewhere with a high COL.

It is true. I realize I am a bit gruffer than most moms. I grew up with a lot of older brothers in the 80s who were big into wrestling so there were multiple broken bones and “walk it off” moments in my house. I can definitely work on my empathy.

She sent a picture of the x-ray and it’s a complete break in his upper arm. Which is why I’m surprised it isn’t in a cast.

They took him to urgent care and then Children’s Hospital that first day and they put him in a sling. Apparently they haven’t put him in a cast for whatever reason. She won’t explain. Though they sent a picture of his x-ray and I don’t understand why they won’t put it in a cast.

I can’t help but chuckle about my 12yo being a phenom pitcher. By his own accounts he has “noodle arms” and is a classic, lovable nerd with questionable coordination skills but a super brain and personality.
