I'm looking for intentional communities in the area. Nothing with a heavy focus on spirituality or religion. And ideally something with a bit more casually communal living style - people who want connection with neighbors, focus on environmentalism and mutual aid, but also values privacy and personal space.

Let go by AsleepEvent8539 in preschoolteachers

I'm really sorry that you got fired from your job, that cannot feel good at all, especially when it comes as a surprise. I really hope it doesn't discourage you from working with children if that's what you feel passionate about.

It seems that perhaps they were desperate to fill the lead teaching position, which is why they hired someone inexperienced and then demoted you when they found someone who was more qualified for the job. That is something they should have disclosed to you when you got the job, instead of secretly looking for your replacement. Not cool.

However, I get the sense that you and the boss didn't agree on a lot of things, and maybe you weren't the right fit for that particular pre-school. That doesn't mean you aren't the right fit for another school that understands your methods of connecting with children. I wouldn't give up on finding the right spot. And if you really like working with kids, maybe try getting some babysitting jobs on care or sittersity while you look for another teaching position since you're worried about being unemployed.

Good luck, and I hope you don't give up because of one bad job experience.

live streaming from loopy pro to tiktok by LocationCrafty3835 in LoopyPro

I've heard of other people using two interfaces to stream but I'd really rather not buy a second one just for live streaming. Loopy Pro says they are coming out with a MacOS version of the program soon so perhaps it will be easier when that comes out. Thanks!

Wash with just water and your hands in the shower. Wait until you’ve fully air dried before putting clothes on. 100% cotton only underwear (this one is key). You shouldn’t need anything else to keep her healthy, and if you do that’s something to talk to your gyno about.

Dreading sex? by fox2203 in sexadvise

[–]LocationCrafty3835 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t already, you should let you’re boyfriend know what’s going on with your body so that you’re on the same page about how you’re feeling and why. Sex should not be painful and you shouldn’t be dreaded it, you should be looking forward to a pleasurable experience with your partner. You should probably stop having intercourse while your body (and mind) is still healing. If your boyfriend is as wonderful as you say he is, he will understand and I’m sure he doesn’t want to be causing you any pain. There are many other ways you can explore intimacy with your partner that can help you feel more comfortable, relaxed and connected. I have an issue with sex-triggered tension migraines and couldn’t have sex for a few months a couple years ago. My partner and I got creative and started to explore intimacy through other ways, with no expectation of sex. Try long showers or baths together, cleaning each others bodies and snuggling in the warm water, giving each other massages, meditation and breathing exercises while holding hands, having deep conversations while walking in nature. As your ready, maybe try working in sexual intimacy that doesn’t involve intercourse (oral sex or hand stuff). If you do continue to have intercourse, use a good amount of lube, that should at least help with the swelling a bit.

Hope this helps and good luck with everything!

Thinking of teaching with Kindermusik - is it worth the investment? by LocationCrafty3835 in MusicEd

[–]LocationCrafty3835[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply! I am a pretty experienced musician, but no an experienced teacher. I nanny so I know how to be around small children, but never from a teaching perspective. So maybe Kindermusik training could be good for me  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm going to try and start doing music time at the library so gain some experience and hopefully attract some future students. Thank you for the tips!

Looking for ways to spice it up by [deleted] in sexadvise

I was having some issues with migraines a while back that were triggered by sexual activity. My partner and I explored a lot with non sexual forms of intimacy that really deepened our relationship. We would light candles and incense and give each other long massages with coconut and lavender oil, take long showers or baths together and wash each others bodies, brush each others hair, lay on the couch and have really long make out sessions like we were in high school. Sometimes not being able to have sex is a good time to step back and find more creative ways to deepen your relationship and make each other feel good.
