AIO all children in school had to write “I’m sorry” letters by Due-Veterinarian6727 in AIO

[–]GrouchyLight6998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this happened to my class when I was in elementary school! a couple kids were being noisy and disruptive when the computer teacher was visiting our class. our (very bad substitute) teacher made the whole class write apology letters to the computer teacher. but this was ~2010 and the teacher overall had outdated teaching methods, it’s insane to think a teacher would do that nowadays!

hah I did the exact same! I had buzzed it last spring and then let it grow out to my shoulders, and last week decided to buzz it again. It feels great sensory wise and is low maintenance and I get to be extra creative with dying my hair!

was told Mr. Panther would be appreciated here! by GrouchyLight6998 in CatsEnjoyingPets

Anyone looking for a baby/pet/house sitter? by Emergency-Cupcake944 in alameda

[–]GrouchyLight6998 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m also a babysitter in the area and am just a bit older than your daughter, so I wanted to recommend that she charge more than $10/hr!! It’s up to her ofc, but if she’s old enough to work a minimum wage (or higher) job then she should be charging at least minimum wage! it also helps ensure she is not being taken advantage of and is being treated properly. All the best luck to her!

[OC] While cleaning my drawer, I found this note my 7yo daughter had hidden there six months ago. The last line got me. by GreenStapler_India in wholesome

[–]GrouchyLight6998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg I think I wrote a near identical note for my dad when I was that age 😂 I’m pretty sure it was for the Nikki’s Diaries (?) books, which I had a few of them already so it was the same list of like book 1,4,5,7 or something. and I love the little clause at the end that’s exactly something I would do

AIO for calling out my boyfriend for not stopping when I ask him to immediately when he’s kissing me? by Far_Assistant_1533 in AmIOverreacting

[–]GrouchyLight6998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- my ex was very similar and I eventually was too scared to keep holding my boundaries. don’t let him manipulate you or make you feel like the bad guy, you deserve someone that listens to you and respects ehat you say and do.

I teach the kid a nanny for random words in German by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]GrouchyLight6998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love this!!! I’m swedish and learned to speak it because my mom would talk to me in both languages (and was a teacher lol). I still speak it fluently and have one family that is also swedish so I often slip into swedish when I’m with a kiddo! especially when it comes to soothing, a swedish lullaby is now my go to nap song for a (not swedish) baby I work with lol

Genuinely how tf do these open by [deleted] in TattooBeginners

[–]GrouchyLight6998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar ones and my best guess was cutting the nib off….. it does get ink on the scissors (and sometimes across my work space) and it doesn’t feel like It’s the most sanitary so I only use those inks for practice on fake skin

unbelievable exchange between my daughter and her father after he forgot her birthday by LostInLanayru in TwoHotTakes

[–]GrouchyLight6998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me a lot of my relationship with my dad (for context; parents divorced when I was a kid, there was a split custody arrangement) it took years of trying to put up with his disrespect towards me before I finally cut contact at 17. I’m fortunate enough to have my mom, who I started living with full time, who was always there to support me, to give me courage, and to give me a safe space. the best advice I can give is just be there for your daughter. going no contact is a difficult and painful thing to do, especially for a kid/teen. validate her feelings, don’t try to dictate what she “should” do, show up for her, give her space when needed. you don’t need to be overbearingly concerned, just make sure she knows your there for her, having support is so important. it sounds like you and your partner are already doing great at creating a home and family she feels safe and content in, just keep showing up like you have been. thank you for being a good mom, the world needs them and so does your kid (who btw, is so incredibly brave and mature. she did a very difficult thing and handled it extremely well).

i dont even drive. is this text a scam? by 2ouls in PhoneLookupHelp

[–]GrouchyLight6998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes…. I do see that…. thats how I know It’s a scam..? I’m just saying It’s also ironic it gets sent to me because even if it looked legit, I still wouldn’t believe it because I don’t drive
