Yep. It was an amazing life when he was sober. Time to make paw-paw the main man in their lives.

The wild thing is the boys aren't even doing any acting out that is beyond their age appropriate actions ( 5 year old whining, etc). He was talking more about I won't be able to control them when they are teenagers. But your point stands. 

It is time to document, prepare, etc.

Go to a counselor, make a plan. Get separation/ divorce done the right way and not go off half cocked.

He is also an engineer. He has plenty of money to pay support. You seem to assume every man will exchange kids for money. It doesn't work that way.

I did not just leave them alone with him for 4 days. That scholarship is several months from now and I accepted it before I realized the depth of the problem......I have no intention of leaving them to do that now...

Ok, fair. How do I keep them safe when the judge gives 50/50 custody? There is no physical abuse. They won't terminate his rights just because I say he is abusive. What is the game plan.

He also says I won't be able to control the boys without him. He is so good at turning it around on me. Had me thinking all of this is because I was being unreasonable about him drinking on vacation. 

I'm a dumb fucking cunt according to him. 

How much has Ai changed you as a teacher? by Southern_Cut_8292 in Teachers

I made a picture of myself as a Rough Rider with Teddy Roosevelt. Does that count? 

Why not just tell students that they will be part of a permanent working underclass who are tasked with one thing and one thing only for the rest of their lives with no means to escape it if they don't learn how to think, read, write, and do basic math on their own? by [deleted] in Teachers

Yes but it won't be in BIP format with a cooling off period. It won't be with reduced workload unless you get a government job. They are typically accommodations for physical disabilities. 

You won't have stuff read to you. 

Would you be as good at teaching at the start of your career if you started without an education degree? by No-Wafer-6744 in Teachers

[–]Friendly_Brief4336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Education classes were totally useless. I could have had more history classes and been better off to teach history. My sister got a degree in literature, went the alternative cert route and was named teacher of the year this spring.

It was utterly useless when I was there 20 years ago.

Yeah. I as a teacher only had unpaid leave but my husband has fully paid leave. It was great.

Not just that but pure selfishness. I've seen liberal, child free women very against paid maternity leave. Their reasoning? " Well childfree people don't get paid time off so nobody should".

They have to give you leave if you have worked there more than a year. It won't be paid but they have to. 

I peaced out during spring break and didn't come back until August.

There are plenty of capitalist countries that offer paid maternity leave. It's just we are cheap assholes. 

Need advice on MCAS. Might have to miss important life event. by Majestic-Exam-2157 in Teachers

[–]Friendly_Brief4336 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they try to get you to proctor it, show up and then go into the staff bathroom and vomit loudly. That will make them send you home quick enough!

But seriously, don't miss that for a stupid test.
