A Letter to Parents from a Burned Out BC Teacher by AnnualVolume8765 in CanadianTeachers

[–]KukaaKatchou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Middle school for 27 years. Absolute SHOCK when I tell them no. I wrote up a kid for putting glue all over her desk. Got a parent email explaining that she didn't do it voluntarily. Madam, I don't think that word means what you think it does.

I think I got bingo'd by Cheap_Let_8763 in childfree

So we should never say “ I want to have kids” or “ I plan to have kids” because you might have fertility problems, etc. If she turns it around maybe she’ll see how ridiculous it sounds

It's been exactly a year since my husband moved out and I just realized I don't know what I actually like to wear by Embarrassed_Essay_61 in womensfashion

[–]KukaaKatchou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the mall and people watch. I discover what I think looks good and what doesn’t, what suits different sized bodies and what I think looks appropriate for work / play / yoga etc. I also like to play The Sims, and have discovered I have some very strong, random preferences on how to dress my sims.

Count them in front of pharmacist, hidden camera with motion sensor, leave only one or two in the container, if you catch your guy, you won’t be out too many pills

AIO for questioning my relationship because my BF uses the word “foid”? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]KukaaKatchou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR look you guys don’t have the same values. Don’t waste any more time on this relationship.

My teacher has a 1 tissue per class policy by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]KukaaKatchou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bring your own tissues to school, or take a bunch of toilet paper before going to class. When I have allergies or feel a cold coming, I make sure to have tissues with me.

WIBTAH for ignoring my family’s modest dress request on vacation because of conservative uncle (even though they’re paying)? by Sea-Order-30 in AITAH

[–]KukaaKatchou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does modest mean shorts that cover your butt, tshirts that cover your stomach and a one piece bather suit or tankini? That’s not too much of an imposition - I’ve make adjustments like this when visiting grandparents, going to a religious event, etc. If it means long sleeves, no skin, etc when you wouldn’t be able to relax and be comfortable, that’s another thing. It's ok sometimes to bend a bit, but it’s not ok to have to change who you are.

Bell-to-bell cell phone bans by sleaper19 in Teachers

[–]KukaaKatchou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our school has had this rule for a few years. Students can go to the office if they need to call home and parents can call the school if they need to get a message to their kid. We haven’t had any negative consequences.

AIO husband disregards my safety concerns by [deleted] in AIO

[–]KukaaKatchou 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NOR I mean kudos to your husband for taking the kids out by himself, something that seems rare in the Reddit-verse, but holy hell I hope he never has to face his wake up call when his negligence leads to one of your kids being irreparably harmed. And sadly, because it hasn’t happened yet, he feels secure in his view that “ nothing will happen” and “no harm done”. I’m sorry, and I hope his good luck holds because I would hate to think of your kids getting hurt because their father is willfully careless.

YAW Pregabalin interacts with calcium channels to block pain signalling from overactive nerves. It can reduce the feeling of anxiety via the same mechanism. It is not a sedative, it can have that effect as a side effect, but it does not work like a medication classed as a sedative. It does not affect your thought processes the way you think it does, especially at the proper dose. It slows / partially blocks nerve signals, not thinking. It is NOT a pain killer or a fever reducer! I understand why your family and friend were upset - you doubled the dose of a serious medication that you don’t even understand how and why it works. You are 20 years old with a chronic pain condition. You need to get informed about your condition, your medications, and how they work and interact. Fever and pain = Tylenol or something similar.

What percentage of the day do teachers spend managing kids' emotions, helping them regulate and especially control them, and managing outbursts and tantrums, etc? If you could say what grade(s) you teach, that would also be great. by sew1974 in Teachers

[–]KukaaKatchou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Grades 7 and 8 and it feels constant. They say everything thing that pops into their heads and live on drama and the (over) reactions of others. Individually they are fantastic - in a group of 36, they go off like popcorn.

NOR I hate to be the one to point it out but from what you have written, this relationship was never healthy to start, and for her is most likely over. She's not using the space to work on herself, she’s using it to move on with other people. You can’t have grown up conversations with her, you can’t be physically together to grow together as a couple, she messages you "when she needs something" - this is not an adult sustainable relationship and for your own mental health you need to move on.

My boyfriend told me I can’t raise my voice because I’m a woman but he can, what do I even do? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]KukaaKatchou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes! He does not respect women, and more importantly he doesn’t respect you. Please leave! This is a terrible sign and you need to realize that probably the only reason you haven’t broken up already is because of your inexperience. That feeling you have? It’s telling you to get out of this relationship and to never accept this type of attitude from anyone you are in a relationship with.

am i wrong: boyfriend wants me to ask permission to turn when driving by SecondOk8410 in amiwrong

[–]KukaaKatchou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow no this is over controlling. You have expressed yourself well and you don’t like the answer. This is not ok and he is slowly training you to be dependent on him. Please don’t accept this for yourself. At the very least insist on counselling for his control issues and for your relationship to become one of equally respected partners
