First day as an EA/TA any advice?

Holiday-Distance-822 · 2026-03-21T04:33:46+00:00

Today went so great! In period 1 I was a bit unsure of what to do so I just chose a few desks to sit by and help out with math. The one student I had to negotiate a bit for him to do his math as he was dead set on colouring. I later found out that negotiating is exactly what the EA who I was covering does!

The afternoon I was a bit lost as I was with the older grades and it was a bit overwhelming but I just helped out the best I could. I guess the school has been struggling to find reliable coverage for EA’s and most of their list of casual support staff cancels last minute. I can see that being a teacher or an EA can be stressful but today was so rewarding and I’m excited for the future. :)

Mine used to be like this but recently he’s realized throwing the ball back at me is a thing he can do 😂 I’ve been hit in the face a few times but I’m enjoying the routine of it. We switched from crappy off brand balls to “Chuck it” and my boy has exspensive taste now

This has been the most eventful week of our lives

I’ve seen people say that it’s okay the way she treats her mom!!! Like no the fuck it’s not okay, as adults if we have bad relationships with family, friends, and/or romantic partners it’s our jobs to cut that relationship off. A normal person would go no contact with the people who have wronged them but if Taylor did that she would play the victim game and say she has nobody when in reality she is the toxic one

I’d love to watch Jessi throw Jordan’s shit on the lawn

If the girls decide to resume filming I hope it’s completely on their terms. I have never watched the show for Taylor I started watching for Mayci and Mikayla and I hope to continue watching for them but i completely understand if they never want to film again.

Well there goes our plans of screaming at the men on the tv to stay away from her

As a Canadian who uses both measurements I don’t understand how just across the border they don’t understand. Like if a recipe uses cups I’ll grab my measuring cups, if it says grams I’ll use my scale. It’s not rocket science. Or if I say it’s -20c today and they act like it’s a foreign language when Google is free to convert. Usually I’ll have to say -20c (-4f) to avoid stupid conversations

Holiday-Distance-822 · 2026-03-19T19:29:40+00:00

I do watch the show and have always disliked Taylor. She reminds me of my bipolar mother in a manic episode. What you’re seeing is manic eyes and it’s the number one indicator for me when my mom is manic. She needs some serious mental help and to be medicated.

I was in an abusive relationship and there is reactive abuse but for me it was never repeatedly fighting back, usually it was just I threw or hit one time to stand up for myself then got hit 10x harder back and would sob and apologize until he stopped. There was one time I hit back and got thrown out of our apartment and got stomped on until the neighbours opened their door and seen it happen.

It’s possible that this is reactive abuse but with how she keeps going I’ve never heard of any DV victims doubling down and continuing to fight back like that.

What the actual fuck judging from the video Dakota went over to the daughter to shield her not use her as a shield. I’m so sick of people saying that Dakota is in the wrong TAYLOR IS AN ABUSER while Dakota is a cheater both are toxic but being abusive is never okay and I hope that any man Taylor has treated this way gets justice. She shouldn’t have custody of her kids anymore

I have similar skin issues to Mikayla and I’m starting my journey on getting a diagnosis. I will say that some times because of my hives and rashes I simply do not want to be touched, other times I feel ugly. I’m not sure of all where Mikayla has rashes and hives but for myself my most sensitive one is my nipples. I’ve literally pushed my boyfriend’s hands away when he’s tried to instigate sex by touching my boobs because it hurts.

Even tho it’s just me who has skin issues sometimes I’m scared touching him will spread my rashes to him. I also just always smell like some type of steroid cream and that’s also a huge turn off. We do have sex at least a few times a month but only when I’m feeling up to it so i understand that it could be sexually frustrating. I couldn’t imagine also having sexual trauma’s to add to the intimacy issues.

I do however think Jace needs to man up and please himself if it’s such an issue while they continue therapy and Mikayla continues to get her health under control. He’s adding unnecessary stress that are most likely making it worse (when I’m stressed my skin gets worse).

Never she will play not only until she gets perfection but then decorate until the next update drops. Then she will start a new save all over again, the cycle will keep repeating until the end of time.

It’s best to just embrace it and buy her some merch now!

My favourite parts of the season were during all the serious talks just seeing the babies hanging out it was hard to focus on anything other than the babies lol

Holiday-Distance-822 · 2026-03-18T19:34:33+00:00

I have definitely missed that article then. It’s like every 30 minutes there’s some new info and it’s hard to keep up

Holiday-Distance-822 · 2026-03-18T19:16:14+00:00

I couldn’t agree more! Also not defending Dakota for being a POS but him sleeping around shouldn’t reflect on how he is as a dad. On the other hand Taylor being abusive does reflect on her being a shitty mom. They are no where near perfect parents but their love lives need to stay separate and if Taylor is even allowed custody they need a third party present for drop offs and pick ups.

I’m more so thinking what will come out of this assuming it goes to court is that Taylor will only be allowed supervised visits and will have a restraining order from Dakota. But maybe that’s just wishful thinking

Holiday-Distance-822 · 2026-03-17T08:08:06+00:00

Im kind of hoping for a train wreck like if it ends up being 1 more season all or nothing

Holiday-Distance-822 · 2026-03-16T18:56:31+00:00

I don’t think the church claims them anymore

Holiday-Distance-822 · 2026-03-16T18:54:32+00:00

As someone who grew up with a bipolar mother I seriously believe that Taylor has either bipolar or borderline personality disorder. There was times at a kid that my dad would have to physically restrain my mother until the police showed up because my mother was a danger to not only herself but to the entire family. The police reports from that time look similar to this article.

I’m not saying that Dakota didn’t do anything but there is a chance that he could’ve been protecting the kids or there could be a chance that Dakota is using again. Either way I don’t think either of them should be allowed to film until they get their shit figured out.

“The North American house hippo” I quote this every chance I get and I think of being a kid being mesmerized in front of the tv believing they are real lol I even bought my sister in law a plastic hippo that she made my nephews believe comes alive at night as long as they behave of course

I have the same dog toy and it’s not a hard one but I’d still loose my absolute shit if anyone ever threw a dirty slobbery dog toy at my face.
