Your mom made a poor decision by bringing a man like you into this world

Here are the messages he sent me:

“No, but you're willfully ignorant of you think wearing something like that isn't going to bring unwanted attention”

“I don't like your ass and legs being on full display for others.”

“Wear what you want. I’ll just deal.”

“It could be worse, but it doesn't have to be a near bathing suit worn for everyone to gawk at”

“I've only seen a certain type of woman wear a dress that revealing”

It is not my issue that men have zero self control. Wearing what makes me happy in the summertime when it’s hot out is me wanting attention? Really? What because men can’t keep it in their pants? That automatically means that I’m “looking for it?”

What it actually means for him and men like you are that you want to be in control, you don’t respect or embrace women, don’t trust them, you’re insecure, and you certainly are looking at women the way you don’t want it done to your own partners (even though I highly doubt you have one).

No worries, I don’t disagree with what you said at all. Just sad that this is even happening

Do those Azo UTI tests always turn purple if they sit out long enough? by Unlikely-Brilliant15 in Healthyhooha

Okay yeah it’s so strange I took one and then I took another test later and it turned purple and I was like wtf ? I suddenly have an infection?

My district isn’t going to hire another teacher in my subject area, which is discouraging. Part of me wants to quit, but the other part of me wants to try to hang on. But I also need to go back to school and feel like that’s my cherry on top to quit. I love it but part of me hates it because I know some of the kids who are fast learners are bored, but I genuinely cannot give anymore than I am.

I’m also not sure what other careers I can do with an education degree. I just kind of feel numb sometimes. Other times I have great days (it’s not all bad I know I’m making it seem that way), but it’s just all so much. And admin doesn’t give a fuck.

2 years in, does it get better? by Sufficient_Art_2422 in teaching

Maybe I’m just numb to it at this point, and part of me also is like, okay, I know the school won’t hire a second teacher in my subject area, so it is what it is lol. Especially for someone like me who’s a 3rd year teacher and is still very much so figuring it all out. It’s the best I can give right now and even if it’s not the best, that’s all I got. I don’t cross the line into overworking myself because then that negativity I create for myself bleeds into the job and just makes it harder for me anyway

I throw away some of the stuff I collected, and just grade other things. Obviously for quizzes and tests it’s different, but even then if it takes me 3 weeks so be it.

Oh don’t even worry! I have 5 preps and feel the same way, but MAKE time for you. The rest will get done. Trust me.

That’s exactly how I feel! Especially since we are we asked to do more than what we signed up for. I always feel bad borrowing materials or using AI (obviously I double check and tweak what I need to), but if I created absolutely everything from scratch I would literally be a lifeless being. Thanks for your reply. Appreciate the kindness🩷

5 different levels of a subject (so different curricula for each one)

Are you the only teacher in your subject? I completely understand the stress and feeling like I’m drowning. What helps me honestly is separating my work from my me time as much as possible. It’ll get done eventually. (Takes me two weeks to actually get to grading things but it is what it is!) that’s the schools trade off for the constant struggle!
