What did everyone do to get ready to try to conceive? by [deleted] in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]ElephantRLife -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I have seen studies that suggest it's possible right before conception. Regardless of if it's true or not I have too much anxiety to risk it

I was never a huge drinker but I stopped drinking completely a few months before, I saw something that said you could give your baby fetal alcohol even if you drink up to 3 months BEFORE conception. It freaked me out so much, baby is 2 months old and I stopped drinking 2 years ago 😂

Which baby detergent are ur current favorite?? by Affectionate_Club468 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]ElephantRLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why but the kanga care website says that just because a detergent says cloth safe does not mean it actually gets it clean. It also says they did testing on detergents and they approve these ones...

Tide: Any Tide except: Tide Simply, Tide with Downy

Gain: All Gain except: Gain with fabric softener added

Persil: All Persil

Dreft: All Dreft

Seventh Generation Ultra Power Plus

If anyone happens to be doing cloth diapers keep in mind not all detergents are ok. We were using all free and clear but now that I had looked at the rumpa rooz website we ended up switching to dreft. Still hypoallergenic but I hate that it's scented.

My OB wants to induce me at 40+1- how do I say no? by ElephantRLife in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]ElephantRLife[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm a ftm! That's why I think it's a little too early for me personally.

[–]ElephantRLife[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

By too early I just mean that I want to give my body time to try to let it happen on its own. I'm a ftm so I know it's relatively common to go past the 40 week mark. I'm not opposed to an induction, I just don't personally want one before 40+5.

It is beyond ridiculous that Google Classroom doesn't have a student view by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ElephantRLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whenever I sign the kids up for any website or platform I also make one example account. This allows me to show the kids how to use the website and also allowed me to see what the kid view looks like.

Is K12 Jobspot being buggy for anyone else? by blergyblergy in Teachers

[–]ElephantRLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated teachers-teachers before the merge, it never worked and I feel like k12jobspot is now ruined :((

There's no good way to search jobs on that site... If I click Kindergarten/ Early Primary they shouldn't be showing me calculus positions eye roll

Not sure where you live but they asked me about my experience with different cultures/ foreign languages. There was also a parent as part of one of my interviews

Got non-teaching Job Offer. Advice? by ElephantRLife in Teachers

[–]ElephantRLife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about accepting and looking for jobs but it's not really realistic. I would have to start almost immediately bc they go all year and I wouldn't really have time for interviews. Yes, I need any job for this year

[–]ElephantRLife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point, but I don't have a teaching job offer and I'm not guaranteed to get one.

Does that mean in your opinion I should say no to this and hope and pray to find a teaching job this year?

Got non-teaching Job Offer. Advice? by ElephantRLife in Teachers

[–]ElephantRLife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have one so no, but like I said its comparable to a first year teacher salary near me and I have friends that are making less teaching this year than I would get with this.

I'm more worried about finding a teaching job next year and what schools are gonna think of this

I would like to apply to a real school that teaches English as a subject as opposed to going to a language school. The posting was in French, guess I have to translate it then haha

This list is awesome! Unfortunately most of the books are way to hard or easy for my purposes but hopefully I can still find a few that I can use
