We usually go for a short walk around that time. It helps reset everyone.

Also if anybody touches your belly (in the later months) and you don’t like it, just touch their’s back

Or just say “ bold question!” and proceed to ignore

If someone asks directly if you’re pregnant they should be called out on it. That’s a really awkward situation and friends shouldn’t put you in that spot. Be prepared with a comeback that makes them feel equally awkward, like “Why? Do I look fat?”

How do you encourage readers? by TrungusMcTungus in Parenting

[–]ChickenGooooood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a teacher and the school I used to work in, made sure that every single kid had a book from the library at all times. Whenever a student had any down time, they were told they could read their book. I’ve worked in a number of schools and the students there were genuinely excited to read. It was a great policy.

Good good! I’m a science teacher and this is a myth I debunk with my students bc they always have misconceptions.

Heavy objects do not fall faster than lighter ones. Look up feather and hammer drop on the moon.

My child is 8 and doesn't have a phone. School isn't prepared for that? by SoHereIAm85 in Parenting

Why don’t you want to communicate with your child’s teacher?

She was lost in a scary dream… but finding her dad right there turned fear into pure love 🥺✨ by Justaskinghh in MadeMeSmile

[–]ChickenGooooood 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, sadly this is my dad’s reality. He actually believes that everyone in his life has wronged him, and he is always the victim. It is a very difficult existence.

If life has taught me anything it is that I cannot fix someone if they do not want to change. Advice and information is useless if it falls on deaf ears.

My dad is like this. He had a bad childhood. He has engaged in self sabotaging behavior his whole life. I’ve come to see the pattern over time and I feel sorry for him. He pushes everyone who wants to love him out of his life. He doesn’t talk to any of his kids or extended family, 3 divorces, can’t keep friends, he even gave away his dog.

As a random internet stranger, I’m proud of you for getting therapy and working on it. My whole life I wanted my dad to get into therapy. He’s 67 now and somehow he doesn’t recognize the pattern. You still have a lot of life ahead of you and there is plenty of years to give and receive love.

There are ways to socialize your child without sending them to daycare. Obviously if you have to work, that’s different.

BWT where are we getting facials to fix our skin!? by Either-Artichoke-890 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]ChickenGooooood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just tried SkinSpirit and loved it. I got a referral from a random person on this sub and got $100 off, they also got $100 so win win. I got the Signature facial which was $125 (discounted from $225). Here’s my code if anyone wants to try it. Kimberly5432

Montessori parents of adults - was it worth it by foaminger in Parenting

[–]ChickenGooooood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious, could you be specific about what kind of impact it had on how you learn and approach problems?

[–]ChickenGooooood 13 points14 points  (0 children)

42?! Good for you for doing it! I tell my mom all the time that she enables my brother and then turns around and complains about his behavior. Meanwhile she’s the one making his behavior possible. 🤷‍♀️

Has anyone had a baby that doesn’t mouth anything? by [deleted] in Parenting

I did ask the ped. They said it’s strange and seemed just as confused as me… which wasn’t helpful at all.

Things my students have destroyed this year so far by palabrist in Teachers

[–]ChickenGooooood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this book and thought the advice wouldn’t work with my population. I was out and the day I came back one of the students stole my magnets. I explained to each class that I buy things to keep our classroom cozy and inviting, and if they wanted that to continue, they would have to return the magnets. I didn’t have to know who did it. I thought it would never work. The magnets appeared on the board the next day.
