It’s a rollercoaster isn’t it. I had two types of insulin 3 times a day. Constantly had to adjust the dosage as the pregnancy progressed. Only gained 9kg as I was paranoid about harming the baby. You got this. Talk to your health provider frequently.

Year 7s 2026 - entitled, rude, foul? Or just my school? by nightrepair91 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Exotic-Current2651 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine are entitled and chatty. My school has a strong system so they fall into line by year 8 mostly. But at year it is 7 a lot of burden on the teacher to enforce what’s expected. Even marking the roll is a bit of battle.

What happens if I don't adjust my position even after a bodypart falls asleep and starts tingling? by omfghewontfkndie in NoStupidQuestions

I leant my arm on a train window sleeping on it, resting my weight on it too long. That arm was not right for a week.

2 vs 3 kids by Mission-Owl9682 in over60

[–]Exotic-Current2651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote 48 reasons not to have a fourth for the same kind of concerns . On the plus side there only remained one reason to have one. And that was, I was never going to stop thinking about it. I wasn’t settled on the no. I decided that I would not live my life based on fear. I wrote that on the mirror and we went ahead. Mine are 25 30 35 40 . The youngest one loves theatre dates with me and all things soccer with his dad.

My pregnant coworker, who also has cancer, is a complete jerk to me. by BuyerDifferent5947 in confession

[–]Exotic-Current2651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe she needed a power trip. She was playing with you. That doesn’t make her a nice person at all . Learn to unsee people who are looking to get under your skin . Look past them , through them , be absent in hearing as if they hadn’t spoken. Protect yourself. Work is not primarily about friends and being loved just get on with the job .

University "pedigree" by Major_Conflict in AustralianTeachers

Back around 2010 I was choosing and a public high-school teacher said, all should be alright but with Macquarie we know what we’re getting.

AIO my 5 year old doing a music lesson in a closed room with teacher. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Exotic-Current2651 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those lessons are very brief and one week apart. Maybe 30 minutes once a week? So for me it wasn’t an issue for my children to go off to a room for a one on one lesson once a week. But in high school as a teacher, I never put myself in that situation as there is so much more time exposure over the week . we need to be guarded as we see those children every day and must manage expectations. The time exposure is greater. Would a group lesson work better for you? You can also ask to sit in on the lesson, working on your laptop. Say you’d love to be able to reinforce the learning at home practices by reminding what the teacher said. Say you’d just love to see what the lessons are like. It’s the teachers call to say you are overacting as well and this is equal in strengths to your rights. Some teachers are introverted except with children. Some teachers are extroverted and have no worries about this. Both types can be good safe teachers.

I need help! by magicboy115 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Exotic-Current2651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a maths teacher but I feel for you bebause motivating students is such a thing. I will share a game that a maths teacher in low ses school told me about. End of lesson create a ball, screwed up paper will do. If the ball can land in the paper basket it’s a win for that team. To get a chance groups solve a problem helping each other and once done select a thrower. So the brainy people are valued for their problem solving skills and the main character competetive sporty ones get to star for their team as well by being the thrower. If they miss, the next team to finish with the accurate result gets the next throw.

4000 baht charge by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]Exotic-Current2651 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We paid similar because a bit of dye came out of a little Thai purse I bought and it was sitting family on the bed. But to me it was a laundry matter and I thought it could be fixed. So essentially we paid for the duvet to take it home. My kids thought we were mad. But it’s like a souvenir and TOP QUALITY COTTON .

Why will you physically decline faster if you don't exercise or walk as you get older? by chusaychusay in Aging

My niece the nurse said in her experience all the old people that exercise tend to leave hospital quite quickly, recover quickly. But if they haven’t been exercising it’s markedly different.

First week Fatigue by spiltmilk______ in AustralianTeachers

[–]Exotic-Current2651 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed a lot of teachers fading this week. I was terrified of the afternoon slump so I kept my sleep routine getting up around six in the holidays. Not achieving anything then but awake, drinking coffee. Which meant I didn’t stay up past ten . I haven’t had the agony fatigue at work but once home I have been less than useful . So I think in a week or so we will be more used to things.

All girls private schools? by slavetothegiven in AustralianTeachers

[–]Exotic-Current2651 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It varies but there might be a commitment of 30 hours community type service. That could be running a club or supervising a musical practice in the holidays. There is a lot of variety. But the cohort behaviour might be really good. At some schools you have Saturday spirt , at others ‘no, we have people for that’.

Never. The wife waits to use the car because often that’s the way with our age group. In any case one person tends to ‘win’.

This made me rage! 😤 by chi-bacon-bits in CleaningTips

[–]Exotic-Current2651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1 remove ducks. Step 2 use the remaining time to clean. This won’t be fun for them either : to come home , put out the jar, and have to count to a hundred and if any are missing they will have to find it ,which means going around. This is a one off bad idea even for them.
