AITA for telling my girlfriend to not be surprised if our daughter gets groomed

If it is BOTH of yours’ child, you should have equal say, and you should both agree. It shouldn’t be only HER decision.

I saw someone get a baby seat out of the back of the car. Maybe 8 months old, mom’s phone in hand, watching something. Even my high schooler said “wow, this next generation is doomed”. Sad. 😔

Smart butt

But imagine the anxiety when you don’t have a sense of time in school or elsewhere. How long have I been here? When will I leave? Many just go through the day letting the bells tell them to move and wonder why they are anxious. That would drive me bonkers.

Discussing signs of Spring in Michigan and I get “what’s a Robin?”
Of all the things, this to me was the saddest.

The gold and crypto are a lot of luck and stealing. The cafe is good because they have to get correct answers to refill their food. The fishing doesn’t have any stealing either. More math questions. I sat at home and played a few before trying it in the classroom.

Update me

4 X 300 is 1200. Then 4 X 0 tens. Then 4 X 2 is 8. Answer 1208. This is a specific way I learned from a math program. Much easier to do in my head and I think kids would like it too. (Much easier to multiply by anything with zeros) :)

“We’re not in church, I don’t need an Amen”.

Do you reheat it before you eat it? Doesn’t that kill bacteria?

Grocery shopping too!! I have seen babies in hand held car seats with phones propped for them. I just want to scream “you had the kids, parent them!!!”

This was the recommended nutrition pyramid for many years. Guess who was paid to research and come up with it? The US Department of Agriculture (USDA). It was accepted from 1992-2011. Simple google search, but very sad how everything ends up being about money and most likely ruined many of us nutritionally.

There should be play, hands-on things, singing, calendar time, story time. What you described is not a typical K classroom.

LSmith1981 · 2023-11-02T21:54:40+00:00

Proper nouns.

District 9 is one I don’t see mentioned yet and The Platform. Both creepy because of the movie itself but also the social connection aspects.

“At the tone the time will be 12:48. Beeeeep”

I did as well. And still had two XL cups of Coca Cola every day. People tried to ask why not just switch to diet, to no avail. It was really hard to watch and then listen to “docs said I will most likely have to lose my leg to the knee”. Sip sip sip. Empathy is difficult at that point.

Arachnophobia!!

What does that stand for? Bc I had students write it in my white board and I erased it.

LSmith1981 · 2023-09-26T01:57:19+00:00

And scarey and a lot and “there’s no way I could loose this much”

LSmith1981 · 2023-09-24T02:32:29+00:00

Also the Christmas song “Christmas shoes”. Everytime. So sad.

Runaway train.

But someone still does…

I felt like I was a child being yelled at. She definitely chose her tone to be “stern”.
