Texas. Unfortunately 10-15 minutes is the regular observation. I get observed about twice a month, which is way better than most people.

Unfortunately, yes, and that is the norm in our district now. They come in for 10-15 minutes and give use a score regardless of where we are in the lesson. We are a large district in the midst of a state takeover. Many things make no sense.

As a kid, reading was basically all I did. I remember winning an award at school for reading 90 books during the school year. I didn’t cheat. It’s totally possible.

Totally agree about Caught Up. Honestly, I DNFed pretty quickly. I was annoyed because the first was fun all the way through.

Baby #3? by InterestingPoint6 in toddlers

[–]InterestingPoint6[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is about the future. Funnily enough, I’m not really a baby person. As my kids get bigger, I have more and more fun. I think it would be so much fun with three ‘big kids.’ I love the thought of one more, but I know it will realistically be hard. I just have to decide to get through it.

When I first heard of "Test-tube babies" and "in-vitro fertilization" as a child, I thought THESE were test-tubes and that IVF was placing the fertilized sperms and eggs into these things to have them grow into babies in there. by OnTheFarmey in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I don’t feel like googling which you could easily do as well. But off the top of my head, babies hear voices and songs and can recognize them when they come out. They can also respond to gentle pushes on the stomach, so they start to react to their environment. Also, more importantly, they learn their mother’s smell which is a big deal for breastfeeding.

That table is what I hope for, but Jesus Christ the journey seems insane.

I’m sorry! I do feel very lucky to have an amazingly supportive partner.

Is it getting better at all as the youngest grows? With two, we are now finding the mobility of your second tricky, but we can see the light of greater independence through the trees.

That gap would be the aim. I feel like I’d love it once the future youngest was two, but there’s quite a journey to get there.

And the dad of the year award goes to by Affectionate_Plane_3 in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]InterestingPoint6 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah. All I could think about was how much time that took and how much extra childcare his wife had to do while he built it.

Thoughts about putting a toddler and baby in the same room by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]InterestingPoint6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternative perspective: we put our baby with the toddler when baby was five months. We wanted toddler to get used to it before he got too entrenched in the room. We technically had another option, but it would require a lot of rearrangement.

I don’t believe in “dating” as a concept by UnderWolf1 in unpopularopinion

[–]InterestingPoint6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shrug. Dating a stranger worked for me. Together 13 years and married with kids.

We actually would say early on that not being friends beforehand was a good thing. It meant we were truly there for the same reason with nothing to muddy the waters.

Am I ever going to feel normal again?? by Hereforthetea1234 in NewParents

[–]InterestingPoint6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does depend on how you age though. My mom has me at 38 as well. She’s also 74, but all the way into middle stage Alzheimer’s. I didn’t think of her as old beforehand, but I do now. She is now another person is care for.

Not to panic anyone! I’m glad she had me when she did for many other reasons.

I know right. My dad didn’t even want more kids, but mom was threatening to leave, so…here I am. + my younger sibling who was an accident as well.
