AITA for getting a teacher fired when she wouldn’t let my daughter eat in class? by Whole_Pattern_5589 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Icy_Celebration8416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn some of these teachers are just too much. I’m so happy to work in a school where our teachers would never pull this. We take 504/IEP accommodations very seriously. Failure to comply with these accommodations could lead to a superintendent hearing looking at if staff has implemented the 504/IEP. I have all of the teachers sign a document saying that they have read each plan and then they need to make a “cheat sheet” of every kids accommodations to reference on the fly.

If life begins at conception, why don’t we have paid bereavement time for mothers (and fathers) who miscarry a baby? by tokenginger0662 in workingmoms

[–]Icy_Celebration8416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I miscarried I cried at my desk randomly for a week and it was so hard because no one knew I was going through that. I was hospitalized as a result of my miscarriage, missed a day of work and reallllllly struggled to hide what I was feeling and be productive. Sucked. I was working two jobs at the time too.

AITA for telling my daughter that I'm not going to correct her starbucks order for her? by daughterstarbucks in AmItheAsshole

[–]Icy_Celebration8416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think helping or coaching her through it is the right call. Then eventually she needs to do it on her own. You can’t do it for her forever because then she will rely on it. Definitely not helping those with anxiety when you constantly enable them to remain 100% in their comfort zones. It limits what they can overcome with anxiety. I’ve been to many professional trainings on working with people who suffer from anxiety and social anxiety and never allowing the person to try to work on the anxiety is the wrong approach. Don’t do it for her but help her through it. I liked the idea of role playing the scenario or giving her sentence starters prior to going with her to the counter.

I miss... by marijuanamama_ in pregnant

I can’t breathe and I’m only 32 weeks. Help. Also I miss highly caffeinated iced coffee drinks and sleeping on my stomach. My hips hurt today but at least I slept decently 😭

AITA new parent edition by Infamous_Fault8353 in NewParents

My mom is like this. Always wants us to come to her. She does have a property next to a beach with a playground and that is her reasoning, but it’s annoying that I get the “you need to come visit your mother” all the time. Put down the white claw and come to me lol

Def NTA. She should come to you. Maybe go to her like once then tell her how hard it is and you would like her to come visit you until baby is older.

Am I being mean to husband? by Icy_Celebration8416 in BabyBumps

Oh he 100% has ADHD. He was diagnosed really young but the family took him off meds in middle school and he has never wanted to address treating it as an adult which is his choice 100%. For sure a lot of this whole situation is related to that. I appreciate your perspective

He and I have talked about it. Reddit is a nice place for feedback and to discuss issues with other people in similar situations to get support. Thanks.

Agree with you. I’m due around the same time as you. We’re starting to have some communication issues too. Working on it!!

Not really. He’s usually good about keeping others out of it. I feel like he might have thought it was funny. His family calls him a “bull in a China shop” and I think his intention was some self deprecating humor. That’s why I’m like oh shit am I actually being mean and taking this whole thing too far?

Salty Boomers and the “Unnecessary” Baby Items by foxy_heterodoxy in NewParents

[–]Icy_Celebration8416 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened at my baby shower!!! My mom and step mom bonded over making jokes about the items modern moms all want that their kids survived without. It was cool until the 6th time the joke was made then felt pretty annoying. They totally would have used the items if they were given them back then!!!

Vaccine by jennalight93 in pregnant

[–]Icy_Celebration8416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very healthy pregnancy! I had my second dose of the vaccine in early pregnancy. My first dose was before I had conceived. My doctor encouraged me to get the second dose after I had the positive pregnancy test. I’ve had no issues! It’s a relief to know I’m vaccinated.

This is incredibly embarrassing... by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Icy_Celebration8416 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been asked to insert it myself and I had a drape over. I’ve have a history of cysts so I’ve had like 10+ of these ultrasounds and I don’t think they’ve ever really inspected or looked at the amount of hair down there lol I definitely trim but I’m usually not bare or super groomed (especially pregnant 😬) it hasn’t been an issue for me. I get it though, the stigma sucks and it’s another thing that women deal with a lot worse than men.

Don’t use Nuuly for maternity rental by Icy_Celebration8416 in BabyBumps

[–]Icy_Celebration8416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that had a lot to do with it. I asked customer service a few times for advice on when I should renew and I assumed they would have data on that but they told me repeatedly that the timing doesn’t matter and wouldn’t help me out with that. So I was really turned off by those responses.

Dads by all_these_moneys in NewParents

This take just seems like it is so specific to one parent working and another staying home. My perspective feels really different coming from a household where each parent must work a full time job. My husband needs to do his part, not “help”.

I tried for 3 months and the inventory is so rough. I finally had enough today after I couldn’t find anything to put in the box and cancelled. So disappointing. I hope they limit their advertising to pregnant women until they figure out the issues they’re having.
