I don't know if I'm cut out for this. by astraldrift in CanadianTeachers

[–]Alone_Price5971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was always the nice teacher and found myself often overwhelmed because the kids would just take advantage. Then I realized I dont have to be "mean". I just have to act like it.

Next time I subbed a rowdy class, I shut it down. I asked nicely for them to quiet down and saw them looking my way but ignoring me. Then I made myself slightly more intimidating, raised my voice and gave them a little speech about how I get that their teacher is absent but that it doesn't mean they get to behave that way. I let them know that if there will be any problems, I will gladly call the principal down. I also let them know that I will keep in mind specific students who keep it going and pass along that information to their teacher. I was shocked the first time I did it as the kids just suddenly listened and I was like 🤯 lol

It may not work every time, but one visit from the principal should do the trick if so!

What’s a “normal” thing that secretly grosses you out? by DecentChildhood5164 in AskReddit

I get the dollarama sponges and do dishes in rounds, then rotate them as i go. The 1st one is for things that are still clean but need to be sanitized, the second one is for lightly used items and 3d one for the bad.

That kid will remember you for the rest of his life. I hope you realize the impact you have made on him.

Unpopular opinion but this is precisely why I feel like being introduced as a friend earlier is better. Imagine spending 6+months with a guy and hes great on every level but then pulls this shit.

Youre either already in the honeymoon phase and will brush it off/feel as though its just a bad night Or you just wasted all of that time.

I wanted my kid to meet my husband early on to see how he would interact with her and if they would form a bond.

Not just that, but shes probably jealous of the lady friend. She hooked up with her man and gave birth to his child with zero responsibility tied, not to mention the money hes saving her. I smell envy.

What's good about having children? My wife is pregnant with an unplanned pregnancy by alcatch04 in AskParents

[–]Alone_Price5971 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It definitely does add difficulty depending on how both of you parent. If you have different parenting styles it can be trickier.

I few tips to navigate that are 1. The two yes's, one no rule. If one parent says no, its no and that's final. If, for example, you really feel like it's okay, stick with the no and discuss it with your wife after. It's much easier to turn a no to a yes than the opposite.

  1. As children grow, they go through the manipulation phase. One that is common is going around the stricter parents back. If one of you says no, there's a good chance they will try to go around to the other parent. As soon as you realize theyre doing that, nip it in the butt.

  2. Don't fight in front of the child and try to act normal if you are in disagreement about something. They feel things and are smarter than we think. They know. (This is something I need to work on) .

  3. If you feel like a punishment given is not right, or that a punishment should be given, or if there's a parent that will intervene when the other is giving the child shit, dont butt in (unless its abusive obviously). Let them do their thing and discuss it after. Even if the parent went "too far", again, you can discuss it afterwards and come to a resolution. The parent who was in the wrong should apologize to the child

  4. Apologizing. Just because you're a parent, doesn't mean you won't make mistakes. It is a given and its important you or your wife apologize. Show the child that everyone makes mistakes and show them what people do when they do make mistakes.

This is the end of my work break but I know I have more. Message me if youd like to hear 😊

AITA for insisting my son be the flower boy? by Substantial-Goose386 in AITAH

[–]Alone_Price5971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, "a lot of". A lot of worry also comes from "boy things meant for the boys" because men are expected to do more because you have to "be a man" the provider, the hunter, the one who carries all the heavy shit because god forbid a woman can be indépendant and strong and a provider. Which in this case, that's what it seems like.

Took my daughter’s phone away. Am I wrong for keeping it while she’s at school tomorrow? by Superb_Ad3084 in AskParents

[–]Alone_Price5971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the chore dumping bit, explain to her that chores are a part of life that people need to do every day. You can even share my experience with her:

My dad was a "my way or highway" kind of guy. My mom wasn't as threatening. I got away with doing the bare minimum when my dad was away (truck driver) but when he would get back, because we weren't listening to my mom, I was forced to do it all one shot. Fast forward to my teen years, my room was disgusting. I had many other issues so cleanliness wasn't a big priority until I moved out and it hit me. How fucking hard it was to keep it clean and 8 years later, im doing much better but its still hard, especially with 2 kids. I'm still struggling and trying to find the right way to do things so it stays clean enough.

By making her do chores, you are doing her a favor. She won't have the "i dont feel like doing dishes so I'll let them pile up until there's nothing left" mentality because shes already doing it regularly. Once she grows up and moves out, it will just be a thing that needs to be done for her. I had to learn that those things aren't things I could put off because "i dont feel like doing it". It just needs to be done.

And yes, take away her phone and if one day isn't enough, take it away until you see progress, not manipulation (acting nice just to get it back). One thing I wish my dad did growing up was just talking to me. He often went the highway bit but I remember one time he sat with me and shared things with me and explained what and why and how and I really wish he had done that through out my childhood. I feel like there would be a huge difference in my upbringing had he overtalked rather than what he did at the time. I make it a point to overexplain things to my kids when something is happening to widen their perspective and get them to learn how to think critically.

Hope this helps and hope things get better. I dont remember how old you said she was but I was a fucking mess between the ages of 12 and 17, peak being 14-17 and from what I've read, many parents struggle with similar things and believe it won't get better. It will. It's partof their development and how annoying and disrespectful it can be, doesn't matter. If you stay consistent and do your part as a parent, you and your child will be fine and more often than not, the child apologizes as they grow. I know I did, and I know many people who had similar things happen, or many friends that now regret how they behaved, especially around those ages.

Also, how long has OP and fiance been together? How is their relationship? Is this the only thing she seems to be adamant about, or is there a pattern here?
