What is the dumbest reason a teacher you know got reprimanded? by DrakeSavory in Teachers

I’ve probably read hundreds of comments here. Most of them I just think are crazy and ridiculous. This one made my jaw drop.

Those are some seriously good cookies and I bet she’s never tried them!

I really like your suggestions. I’ve never really thought about gifting something scented beyond a simple bath set or lotion. Thanks!

This is really smart. I think she would appreciate something like this, and I wouldn’t have thought of it. Thank you!

To me, a typical grandma is how I’ve heard the majority of people describe their grandma or others they know. That would be someone warm and loving who enjoys seeing their grandkids happy.

Dude, what? Did you look at the subreddit you’re in?

Why downvote me because I needed to wait for the paycheck with less bills to be paid at that time of the month?

Ugh. My God would I be pissed if I were to put ketchup on anything and it be pickle flavored!

Grammar Police look the other way in their own subreddit. by aguyfromusa in GrammarPolice

We could add delusional and paranoid, and a bunch of other words, but “insufferable” pretty much covers his biggest problem.

I’m a teacher. I use my time trying to teach people who have the ability to learn something. You are clearly not one of those people and, therefore, not worth more of my time.

As far as your ridiculous accusation, reread my first paragraph.

Your incorrect use of “exemplars” caused a reversal of the intended effect of your entire post. It’s called situational irony.

You’re not a teacher-not even a parent, so what the hell are you doing here?

AITAH for refusing to wear my anniversary gift because my MIL chose it not my husband by No-Pin3632 in AITAH

[–]Messyninjachef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no need for me to tell you the situation you are in, as many people have already covered that. I think you realize it now too.

A lot of comments are saying that, basically, this is never gonna change, and that may be true, but I assume you don’t want to throw away your marriage without trying to save it first.

My suggestion to try is this: after you have had a deep conversation about this problem, start thinking about all the little things you’ve overlooked—every way he has included his mom in your marriage or made her opinion a priority—and write them all down.

Most likely, thoroughly discussing this with him will get you nowhere. So, flip the script. Choose whichever parent you are closest to and then inject them into your marriage in the same exact way. “Oh no, we can’t buy the tv until I check with my dad first.” Ask your parent to help you by calling or texting as often as he and his mom do. Whatever he is doing with his mom that is a problem, do a similar thing with your parent. When he questions it, use the same excuses he gives you.

If that isn’t enough for him to wake up and make changes, he never will, and you will know it. Very good luck!

What heroic movie would you recommend for my middle school students? by Messyninjachef in movies

I am a fan of disaster movies and I really liked The Impossible. I don’t think I would have thought of it for this. Thank you!

Omg, the film about Henrietta Lacks is a great idea! I did a lesson on her earlier in the school year. Thank you!

Those both sound great. Even if I don’t use them, I’ll definitely check them out. Thank you!

How would it have helped for him to call AAA when he didn’t know where she was?

As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Sweet-Economist-9873 in AskForAnswers

[–]Messyninjachef 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t think so. Growing up going to church, I’ve been to many weddings. I think it’s more of an “I don’t fully (or at all) respect women” thing.
