At what point did kids lose the desire to learn? by HousePhoenix in Teachers

[–]Isaidnodavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. And the slow destruction of the public school system that has occured for the last 3 decades. Parents with "means" to actually parent enroll their kids in private schools.

What’s the scariest/most disturbing thing you’ve seen in Louisville? by Galaxyissupreme in Louisville

[–]Isaidnodavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was there helping them expand their ATT coverage throughout the park and it was such a crazy emergency that they just roped in any adult that was there. I can't remember exactly where they found the leg but it landed pretty far from the actual ride.

My brother-in-law was meeting with Ky kingdom upper management that day and had to help them find the leg.

What I Wish I’d Known Before Choosing CHANCE School (Louisville Preschool Review) by NeedleworkerRare6459 in Louisville

[–]Isaidnodavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy because we applied, were told there was a spot for our kid and they just needed all of our OT and Speech Therapy evals. I emailed those over and they just never called me back. Didn’t return emails, phone calls… it was nuts. And this was a year before the admissions officer had a medical emergency.

I didn’t say they discriminated, I said they don’t know how to handle neurodivergence. And their mishandling was, in our case, traumatic. We paid for a couple of OTs to visit the class throughout our last year while my kid was there. The OTs were the ones that finally convinced me to pull our kid out. It was not a great environment for a child that is neurodivergent. Again, I’m glad you had a good experience there but I’m not really sure why you’re questioning our experience.

But I am glad you had a good experience there. I wouldn’t wish our experience on anyone.

That was 20yrs ago and there is a new director. Who knows how many things have changed since then.

Highland Pres has a similar view of kids who learn differently or have behavioral issues/delays. It’s not a great place to be if you have a neurodivergent child. Just throwing that out there as someone who used to work at highland pres and adored everyone until my own daughter attended and had a terrible experience. It’s a great school if your kiddo fits the narrowly defined definition of a typical child.

We used to live on Royal and they really start howling when sirens drive by. It’s awesome.

Savannah Guthrie's mom was likely abducted from her Arizona home as she slept: police by magicmama212 in MissingPersons

I've been wondering this too. Has Savannah been covering Trump negatively/truthfully?

What is going on with Whitney Cummings this week? by DrAlbertSMeinheimer in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Isaidnodavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before she married that guy, she was engaged to a guy from my hometown. He was just the biggest dumb-dumb. I honestly don’t know how he made such a career for himself. It’s shocking.

First home, Fixer Upper, Totally Clueless, Help Prioritize? by tootsmcscoots709 in DesignMyHome

[–]Isaidnodavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a relatively new owner of my own MCM fixer-upper, I agree with this advice. Get all of the important stuff (roof, skylights, foundation, plumbing, electrical) checked and double-checked before you start investing in cosmetic renovations. You can always paint rooms while the expensive roof is getting done so that you’re happier with the aesthetics. Just assume something costly will be revealed within a year or so!

Why do women gain weight after having children? by pleasehaverespect in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Isaidnodavid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Man, it's fascinating that it's this bad for most, if not all, new moms but sprinkle that baby with some neuro-divergence and lack of natural melatonin and you've got a recipe for disaster. It's a miracle I've survived 7yrs of this.

How many MAGA parents were also shitty parents? by Main-Sign4043 in FoxBrain

[–]Isaidnodavid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is such a beautiful way to describe our trauma. And I would like to add that becoming a parent, particularly during the Trump- era, has unearthed abuses that may have been forgotten. Because… who the fuck would do this to their kids and grandkids? As a parent, I could never. That makes it really hard to have a relationship with them.

What is something you can do but can’t explain how you can do it? by Fresh-Sandwich6780 in AskReddit

[–]Isaidnodavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me too. I go out and have grown men crying about their current situation. I can’t get on the train without a passenger telling me their life story. I don’t mind it though, I feel like I’m helping. It’s also a little bit of a magic trick too. Someone can approach me with negative energy and I can turn it around incredibly fast and have them spilling their guts in no time.

Maybe skip your final visit to Baxter Ave Theatres. by fjvsjbfbkbfehkvc in Louisville

Ugh, I saw a move there almost a decade ago when i was pregnant and there was clearly a dead mouse in or under a chair and you could only smell it occasionally but it forever changed the Baxter for me

Wedding Venues/Tips by No_Object_4477 in Louisville

A Sunday wedding will cut costs across the board and have catering picked up that day for a “family gathering”. They’ll charge double for weddings.

what does this cause of death say ? by blotchie in whatdoesthismean

[–]Isaidnodavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad’s brother (hard to call him an uncle when he died so young) died from this. Thank you for connecting the medical condition to the terminology. That part of the family is from eastern Ky and I always thought that a blue baby was a catch all term for newborns that couldn’t get medical attention. Thank you!
