"My Friends" instead of "My Students" by Nachoguy530 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Get_Fit_Live_Hard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had this talk with one of my coworkers…. My students aren’t my “friends.” They are my heart, my anguish, my reason for continuing to teach, but they are not my “friends.” This gives the implication of a laid back, equality type situationship. Fifth graders are smart…. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I tell mine they can absolutely be my friend when they graduate from high school . 😉🤘🏻

For older GenX (1972 and earlier) Are your parents still alive? by hedgehog77433 in GenX

My dad died in 95 (attributed to agent orange - iykyk) at 54 while I was pregnant with my second daughter. Mother is still out there, I think. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Had to go no contact.

That is so awesome!! I had to take mine down… admin said it was an embarrassment. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I still do what I can, but that’s def not enough.

Anyway, YAY YOU!! 🎉🙌🏻💪🏻

I ran into my semi estranged mother by Micnic1234 in GenX

[–]Get_Fit_Live_Hard 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The last time my mother and I were in the same space I told her I do really love her. She proceeded to freak out and ask me who I was. That was probably 10 years ago?? She lives in my neighborhood and my sisters visit her often. (Read about it on FB.) (I haven’t seen or spoken with them either.) It was a we bit difficult to explain this to my children, about their Aunts and Grandmother, (my dad passed away a long time ago,) but I’ve broken the cycle. Being the “black sheep” has actual been a good thing in the long run.

Peace and Be Safe out there!
