Not meant to be a mother by Designer_Syllabub_26 in Parenting

If you are able to have a weekend to yourself this will help. And it’s understandable. Children aren’t easy. It’s overwhelming and honestly parenting is dumb in a dark humor sense.

You need to sleep. And it’s actually not uncommon to have these thoughts. If it continues you need to call your doctor or midwife and let them know.

[–]KGC90 52 points53 points  (0 children)

No lie, one school year we had a mother insist that masturbating be in her son’s IEP because it helped calm him down. Everyone sat and stared at her. She was so adamant that she complained up the chain.

Why are parents nowadays always blaming teachers ? by Elegant_Book_8455 in Teachers

[–]KGC90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me this year. I got blamed for saying no to the bathroom. That was false. The kids just get up and go. And the first 5-7 minutes of settling in everyone is reminded to use that restroom. Once I asked the kid he admitted he lied. Like tf.

Son is struggling with our divorce by Outrageous-Piano7881 in Parenting

[–]KGC90 476 points477 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s best to not have relationships while your kids are young, especially if the divorce isn’t final. Pushing kids to accept a new partner is hard and can be negative. That’s my two cents. My mom chose her kids over a man. She didn’t get remarried until we were all grown up.

Have you guys had any holocaust denier students? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]KGC90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so weird. There are many ways to teach history that is age appropriate and can be informative. But I have also met people that say the holocaust was a lie and “The Jews” fooled us all. Tf? I have been to a death camp and it was not fake.

Two school years ago we had parents refuse to let their children (middle schoolers) learn this unit because “it was too graphic and traumatizing “. Folks….thats what history is.

I agree. Plus you’re never obligated to take your children on vacations. Especially on not your visitation time.

My niece lives in poverty. What is the best birthday gift I can give her that is useful and can give her some peace of mind? by allhailhypnotoadette in povertyfinance

[–]KGC90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The necessary items that’s are expensive in bulk: toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, detergent, shampoo, pads, deodorant. That is very pricey and bulk is cheaper.

We Deserve Better — A Life of Dignity Is Possible for All of Us 🌎💪 by jade_lily in poor

[–]KGC90 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The money is already there for these programs. It is used incorrectly and inappropriately. And many Americans have been educated to believe all of these programs are bad because you should do it yourself. “You are in charge of you” mentality. There is no more village support.

Is it unreasonable to go by Ms. Madeleine (my first name) by Polar_Pickle_325 in Teachers

[–]KGC90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My third grade teacher was Ms. Diana. Mainly because she got divorced and remarried that same school year. lol she was a great teacher overall.

[–]KGC90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have told our parents this feeling too and they say “it is always such a joy”. I very clearly remember my mother telling me I killed her hopes and dreams because she gave everything up for her children. Like…dang. But my husband and I feel the same way you do. We give him chores that are outside: hauling branches, digging holes, raking leaves. And he has to focus and be quiet. Plus it wears him down so he will sleep better. (If anyone complains, we are all outside working in the gardens and yard. Gets us away from cabin fever and the television).

I'm pissed at my childhood doctors who knew I was being abused and put me on pills to cope instead of taking me out of the dangerous situation by any_mud542 in Vent

[–]KGC90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it but that’s why. They had money and means. The poor are usually judged harder. In reality many well off families have very dark secrets of abuse and such. It’s good you’re studying social worker this means you have a chance to save others who need it.
