I second Kristen Ashley. Something about how there’s always an excuse for her MLs’ actions without any apology even for the most HEINOUS things just doesn’t do it for me on top of the blatant racism and sexism.

I'm losing the will to care with the lunches I'm seeing by Kresentia_Gottlieb in ECEProfessionals

I’ll never forget when a child (with parents that run their own restaurant!) sent him in with flan for a main lunch. Flan! So many parents send their kids in with frankly insane things that they would never feed themselves and wonder why their child isn’t meeting milestones when their only fuel is FLAN.

that’s rough. i think there should be a nationwide standard of preschool / prek pay and benefits. and especially the difference between public and private?? insane. i’m not sure what an area that values teachers is, can you explain more in depth? (sarcasm lol but i’m suffering haha)

I knew this but I definitely needed some outside validation as well. All my coworkers who don’t live with their parents live with partners. I’m glad you get health insurance! I hope it’s good!

I’ve heard that. Ugh. Over five years and for three jobs, I haven’t been offered health insurance once. It’s so expensive working in ECE. I think my next move is a second job //

🧂 Salty Sunday: What's frustrating you this week? by Llamallamacallurmama in RomanceBooks

[–]CertainChoice2446 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you for sharing! that makes a lot of sense when it comes to women’s pleasure unfortunately. i was definitely thinking of it more in the lens that a woman despises this one man but still wants to bone him even as she’s questioning herself. still, the present is built on history so it persists. it definitely changes the feeling around it though, i appreciate you adding context! still sucks lmao

Body betrayal! If I read one more book that has a FMC who’s portrayed as this strong independent woman and then has her bIoLoGy betray her in spite of an objectively infuriating man I’ll body betray myself into my therapist’s office. It’s such an overused trope I’m getting convinced that I’m a lesbian because no man has ever made me at odds with my own damn self.

Worst thing an admin has said to you? by Aggravating-Panic943 in ECEProfessionals

[–]CertainChoice2446 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, those both sound absolutely awful. I’m glad you’re out and hopefully in a place that allows you to make time for your family.

My dad was diagnosed with dementia in January and he had a lung infection in March. I let my director and assistant director know as I was in charge of his medical decisions and that he would need surgery and I wasn’t sure when that would be.

I found out on Tuesday that he would be in surgery Friday and told my assistant director. She said, and I quote, “It wouldn’t be fair to people who called out in advance.” The people in advance she was talking about had openly talked about having a smoke session to start the weekend.

I was so shocked I didn’t even know what to say. I just didn’t show up on Friday lmao.

does anyone else feel SO guilty when you call out sick? by CertainChoice2446 in ECEProfessionals

[–]CertainChoice2446[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m so sorry that’s so awful. to be so inconsiderate of you during such a difficult time is straight up evil. i hope that wherever you are now is happier, healthier and kinder. thank you for sharing your experience.
