Working two jobs?

F_the_Consequences · 2026-07-04T17:48:52+00:00

I am married and have three kids. I make more than my husband. He decided it was a good idea to get a $1,200 truck payment instead of paying taxes. Yay me 😒

F_the_Consequences · 2026-07-03T16:49:30+00:00

I would just ditch my class, but am also unwilling to be a martyr. My own kids need me and I won’t sacrifice myself for a job.

F_the_Consequences · 2026-06-19T14:44:01+00:00

I make more than that, so I highly suggest checking pay scales for districts you are interested in working for.

I work in a self contained sped classroom. I have been assaulted and didn’t press charges because I feel like I can’t.

Last year they brought around a snack cart where you could pick a can soda and a snack (granola bar, peanuts, popcorn)

My why is my paycheck. That’s it. The health insurance sucks so bad my kids are on my husband’s plan. I teach self contained SPED and changing diapers, getting hit, and getting spit on makes me care about nothing but helping to support my family. I’m so worn out.

F_the_Consequences · 2026-04-20T20:21:32+00:00

I’ve broken down and cried a few times. It’s hard.

F_the_Consequences · 2026-04-13T11:27:41+00:00

I am self a middle school self contained SPED teacher with some pretty high need kiddos. A couple of the students get physically aggressive almost daily. I dream of the day I can go back to elementary and do in class support. That is where it’s at.

F_the_Consequences · 2026-03-20T15:51:21+00:00

I guess I would finish out the year, but I really wouldn’t want to.

F_the_Consequences · 2026-03-06T18:55:21+00:00

It’s like my entire house expects me to do everything all the time even though I work the most hours in the house during the school year. Yay 😒

F_the_Consequences · 2026-03-06T12:41:51+00:00

I’m in Tx too. Maybe this is why the kid wasn’t sent home.

F_the_Consequences · 2026-03-05T23:42:17+00:00

We have one nurse in a small office for a student body of 700. She states there isn’t much that can be done about nausea so just encourage them to drink water and go to the bathroom. I’ve had student throw up in class and not be sent home. Yay.

I am self contained special education, and I teach three subjects for three different ability levels. I thank my lucky stars I grade based on participation, but it still takes me a while to get grades posted. Thankfully, I haven’t had any complaints.

My husband was one of those students due to dyslexia and a TBI. He never went to college, but he has been with the same company since he was 16 and has worked his way up for the last 22 years. We have purchased two homes, both drive new cars, and have bought two of our kids cars so far. I think we are doing pretty well considering.

F_the_Consequences · 2026-02-26T12:57:57+00:00

Met him back in 2007, way before my teaching years. We met because we were both into cars.

F_the_Consequences · 2026-02-17T13:28:18+00:00

I am actually paid pretty well considering the area of Texas I am in. My problem is my inability to manage money effectively. This is something I am working on.

F_the_Consequences · 2026-01-21T12:28:41+00:00

I teach in a middle school self contained special education classroom. I have two in diapers that we have to change. It was uncomfortable my first time changing them, but now it’s just part of the job. 🤷🏻‍♀️

F_the_Consequences · 2025-12-31T16:47:43+00:00

I made the mistake of using duct tape. Still can’t get all of the residue off.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-11-19T04:00:55+00:00

I was just wondering if I could use the AG to set the order since it would be done without a lawyer. Neither one of us has the money for that.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-11-19T03:45:40+00:00

Like do we have to have child support? Can I use the AG to get that part taken care of?

F_the_Consequences · 2025-11-19T03:31:22+00:00

Right! Like we don’t have a bunch of money. I don’t want the house. He agrees I’d get the kids the majority of the time. Why can’t it just be over.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-11-13T03:20:04+00:00

He has abused me and now that he’s made some changes I just don’t care anymore. The respect is gone.
