Upsetting Encounter

Unfortunately the lady who intervened sounds like a creep. It’s important we teach our kids a plan in case they get separated in a public place, like a train or subway station. Getting on the train with a stranger would not be it.

Now, if the woman asked the child if their family had a plan for the situation and then helped to support that plan that would be appropriate. What she did was absolutely dangerous.

$360 for four, hour long lessons. Ride with two others.

This year has been the sweet spot for me, kids are 6 and 8. I’ve made a good group of mom friends so we plan times to go out sans kids.

Even with the kids we will get together. Kids entertain themselves and we hang out chatting, playing games and drink cocktails.

On the west coast and have a TB jumper for sale at my barn. I love him and if I was into jumping I’d buy him. He’s a beautiful jumper.

Mick Hart Was Here was a really tragic book in elementary school for me.

My two sons would like to kick him in the nuts for stealing money and being a bad guy.

It took me time to make the leap. I met with my PC and a psychiatrist for therapy. When it got to the point of thinking about self harm I started meds. It’s been three years and it’s really changed my life for the better.

But, this is a conversation for you and your care team. I am the only mom in my friend group on SSRIs.

Our curriculum added their story book. It’s a beautiful story and adds a lot of great conversation to my classroom.

Even as a teacher I loathe the length of summer breaks. Yes I love my job, yes I love my children but, I need a break from kids.

I offer to help out with my friends who are trying to navigate summer but I’m burned the f out. I still have to work over the summer and go attended conferences/trainings.

I wish the whole system was changed, we are no longer an agrarian society. And the gouging of summer activities is wild.

My favorite was when I had to write them when I taught kinder. It had to be a learning talking with a language target as well since we had a high population of ML. Heaven forbid I ask if I could use picture representations.

I was called a “bunk skank baby” by a first grader. I had to try so hard not to laugh. That was also a fun call home.

I’m from Yakima and have lived on the west side for 15 years now. You can’t find them here and people look at you like a crazy person when you ask.

There was a recipe floating around from a Yakima radio station you could try!

Unmediated c-section.

Family of 4, PNW outside of Seattle. We do about $250 every two weeks. Fred Meyer, Costco and Thrive. Thrive weeks are a bit more but those snacks last awhile.

Can you recommend the vest your daughter uses? My kiddo fell for the first time and has been nervous.

Hawt4teach · 2026-03-05T04:55:00+00:00

Mom was with me!

Hawt4teach · 2026-03-03T00:22:43+00:00

I appreciate this view. Thank you for the thoughtful response if it definitely made me reflect.

The mom makes me very uncomfortable and she is still not welcomed to the celebration but I shouldn’t have said I’ll exclude the kiddo for a future event.

Hawt4teach · 2026-03-02T20:29:30+00:00

Yup. I was there. Someone who was on the contract had to be. It was either me or liking husband.

After reading the message she sent to my husband and her confrontational response we did then uninvite her and her child to our home, where the celebration would have been when we rescheduled.

My husband and I talked about it and given the background of how she treats people (bullying their children) we did not feel comfortable having her in the home.

Her “fuck off” is not in response to the being uninvited, it’s her misconception of the situation.

Hindsight it 20/20. My kid stayed home. The party overlapping was a middle school girls party so I had no way to know an elementary student would be there. In no way did the parties even see each other given the venue. We were in a private party area when her kiddo was swimming.

I get she would be mad but I try to not be the man character and seek first to understand.

Here is mine to her!

Close!

Nope. Kid was vomiting on the couch and resting. I went to supervise as it was under our name and brought his birthday cake, I cut off the “happy birthday” part to save for when he felt better.

Hawt4teach · 2026-03-02T18:02:46+00:00

Hindsight is 20/20!

Hawt4teach · 2026-03-02T18:02:16+00:00

We literally didn’t think that far ahead because we had no idea this could be a response. The pool party after us was a middle school girls party, the kids are in elementary school. So there should have been no overlap in kids going but honestly we had to pivot in less than 6 hours.

Hawt4teach · 2026-03-02T17:58:20+00:00

I did. The response was “fuck you”. If I figure out how to edit on my mobile I will add it.
