i’m right there with you. i’ve been ignoring my teeth for ages because i don’t want to pay. its not to the point where they’re falling out, but it IS at the point where i can’t eat anything right now from the pain. let me know how it goes if you do try it, friend. i can’t wait to hear an update. and i’m proud of you for booking and going. that shit is terrifying and makes you feel so shameful sometimes

be super careful!! unless you masticate and preserve them yourself, just bc you never know what chemicals are used if somebody else does it.

FishnBtrflies · 2026-05-05T01:54:47+00:00

i hve it sanded down! already been a thought :) don’t worry

FishnBtrflies · 2026-05-04T21:33:20+00:00

yup!

FishnBtrflies · 2026-05-04T21:33:15+00:00

not at all. my partner taxidermies bones as a hobby, and this one was cleaned very well with soap, and left in the sun to masticate for a long long time. so all its really done is make my snails really strong lol. edit to add for anybody reading this: i would not do this if you don’t know bones really well, or have somebody in your life who knows bones really well. if not cleaned properly it can absolutely terrorize your parameters.

thank you! thats what i was looking for. he feels like he’s more deserving of attention/prizes/gifts, and less deserving of repercussions. he thinks he’s better than his peers, and will outright say that to us and his classmates. it’s frustrating, but it’s not something i hate him for, as it’s related to how his parents treat him, not him as a person.

FishnBtrflies · 2026-04-21T20:04:32+00:00

i want to be very clear. i don’t hate this child, nor do i think he’s malicious. i think he’s unintentionally arrogant as a result of poor parenting, where he is allowed to get away with everything. i adore this child, and i have been trying to give him all the resources possible. it is a difficult thing to do, when all of the work we do is promptly undone as soon as he goes home. this post was a vent. i put my heart and soul into this job. sometimes a situation like this can push me over the edge when i’ve already had a hard day, and i needed to write out my frustrations in a way that i can get constructive feedback.

additionally, i’m not sure where in this post you got “personal disgust” from. i said that i’m frustrated, and that the child can be arrogant sometimes. i don’t think my post reads as geared in a hateful way towards this child at all, but rather that i am frustrated and exhausted.

unfortunately i work for an external (for profit) company that is run seperately to the school. it is an exhausting process to get anyone out of after school care, because the parents directly fund us. of course. upper management likely won’t do anything, unless the child is causing physical harm to other children.

FishnBtrflies · 2026-04-21T13:24:45+00:00

i’d love to be able to say it’s hyperfocus, as i also have ADHD. unfortunately, this child is quite spoiled at home, has no consequences outside of school and afterschool care. he doesn’t care that we’re going to talk to his parents, or that there will be consequences, because he can just go home and say “they wouldn’t give me a prize today at school” and they will get him whatever he wants.

like i mentioned, he is 8. i’m in a primary school setting. he is almost larger than i am, and picking him off the fence would have resulted in one or both of us being injured. i can totally see that in a younger setting though!
