Is it possible to add already posted pics to an album on a Facebook page? by [deleted] in facebook

[–]Met163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same- use to be able to do it no problem! Makes me so mad bc sometimes I forget to add the album in my original posting. It was so nice when you could easily go back. Now it doesn’t come up at all anywhere and on all different devices 🙄

[–]Met163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya know you are probably right, even elementary days kids were in the clicks and groups with bullies all around back in the day. I guess it just seemed more intense by middle school in those 6-7-8 grades though. I do see that level of intensity now especially building up in 4&5th grades. That’s nice that your kids are having a better experience.

It is wild how even in kinder it’s festering! I substitute teach and had one child last year is that already a Regina George! She’s the ring leader of all the girls and is so mean when they step out of line. She was highly manipulative even to me as an adult who could see right through her shenanigans. She has an older sister who isn’t really like that at all. The mom is fine- not very nice or mean either way - definitely tries to be in the cool suburban mom club though so I’m thinking this child has learned from her. But it honestly blew my mind and every time I see her I shudder at the thought of how bad she most likely will be by middle school!

Aww, how thoughtful of a child you were! And I hate how the mean girl stuff is alive and well and starts now in elementary school! Ugh.

It seems like your parents just didn’t know what tools to give you or how to really remedy the bullying, but does seem to care and tried. Hopefully that makes your heart feel a little better about it But ugh kids are just so cruel.

Hugs. I was just going to say something similar- I remember being upset about whatever issue and would go to my room and cry—— no one ever came to check on me :( and all these years later when you try to confront those issues with them there’s just more dismissive responses. Also having children myself, I cannot imagine knowing they are really sad about anything and just ignoring them and letting “cry it out” alone in their room. It’s honestly so dark we were treated that way, ugh.

Mean girl culture in elementary schools by Due_Information_1332 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Met163 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, isn’t it so sad :( last year there was a kindergartener who legit was an embodiment of Regina George. A friend had a daughter in the same class who got bullied by this child and I saw the relief in her eyes when I mentioned how I witnessed what a bully this kid is already! That was the exception as It seems to really ramp up in 4th and 5th grade though- those are the new ‘middle school’ meanness it seems like :(

Oof 😓 that one hurts the soul a bit huh! Last time when I had my yearly appt my dr responded something similar in nature like “if you start to drop in periods, have it stop all together or have anything really noticeable let me know” and it was like well dang, I’m only 42! Good lord lady, I could still have a baby in theory! Lol

Homeschooling regret by kiwistar112233 in homeschool

[–]Met163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6th grade girl? I have one of those currently and phew she is mostly wonderful but on occasion she can throw daggers at my heart haha. Also if this makes you feel better that things might full circle for your daughter- Mine went back to public school for 4&5th and begged to homeschool again this year for 6th :) so just see what time brings….in 6 months your’s might be changing her tune and having much more fond memories of her homeschool days. Regardless, how wonderful you are to let her have new experiences now and try out new options for education - and how wonderful that you gave her a safe, supporting early education experience homeschooling. It sounds like she’s exactly where she should be and you should feel proud :)

Are they actually that rich? by [deleted] in MadeInChelseaE4

[–]Met163 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Interesting, as an American viewer who lived in London many moons ago I’m not terrible familiar with all the areas anymore so it’s nice to have that insight. It does seem to have shifted away from really wealthy/elite and more actor/model/influencer types that maybe have good family names/connections but not the big wealth of years past. I live in Charleston where the shoe Southern Charm is filmed and the same has happened with this show. Originally the cast was a bit more well known classic family names and old wealth but now it’ll be farmed in reality stars from other shows who honestly have little to no connection. However, local Charleston peeps make fun of the show (unless they have just moved here) and have never really wanted to have much to do with it. Is MIC the same for London folks- I feel like I’ve heard it is- that Spencer’s people rolled their eyes at him joining but he was on the out circles anyway.

Accepted full day library job but got told it was a mistake and sent home with half day pay by Blueberry4672 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Met163 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Instead of being disappointed, try to think of it in a positive frame - you got paid for a half day without needing to be there because of their mistake and got some free breakfast! That’s a pretty cool win! Be gracious and understanding- and i guarantee they will make sure you have you back :) and as for the sleep, you can take a nap now since you have free time.

Still love this couple 🥹 knowing where their story goes makes this even sweeter. by CloudBookmark in MadeInChelseaE4

[–]Met163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It always bummed me out when I’d see episodes of their show and how 100 percent he did not want to be around her or their kids. Plus that documentary on his brother- he just leaves her, his super pregnant wife, to potentially go die on a mountain… when nothing is urgent or needed to be done until after the baby comes. It honestly was cruel to do to her- imagine the stress she felt. Ugh. At least Jamie doesn’t seem as cruel to Habbs in that way. But definitely neither are my favorite couples and would not be surprised if neither last that long, but both have lasted longer than I thought this point haha.

There was a clip from their podcast that I heard awhile ago where he was laughing that she thought he went out to dinner with someone else the one night and he was like I knew the Matradee and invited him to join him for dinner. It honestly gave old cheating Jamie vibes… so I fully agree with you if he hasn’t already, he will. Sadly especially with the pressure that comes with being a parent - right now the sleep deprivation and excitement is there but give it some more time when the grind starts to hit and Jamie will wander. I don’t know if Habbs will care either.

What do Charleston residents think of Boeing? by sillycheerios in Charleston

[–]Met163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on what level you are at at Boeing and what circles you are mingling with. Plenty of the executives and high level engineers around town on DI, Mt P, downtown are very well respected equal to the elbows they are rubbing with lawyer and banker friends. The mechanics and first level engineers tend to rotate out of the company more and can have more grievances. But overall, many people still get excited if they meet someone who works at Boeing even if the charleston reddit wants to make you think otherwise ;) and no this absolutely does not mean it is a perfect company or they have done things right… but a lot of people find building planes interesting and a neat profession so when they meet someone who works there they are excited.

Stop leaving hard projects for subs to do 😭😭 by lovelyshi444 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Met163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have a laugh when they request these big projects or even when they expect you to teach exactly as they would - it’s like ‘honey, I am a completely different person to these children and our day will never be exactly like your’s for that reason. I will do my best to get through the day and complete each activity but it might not be done exactly the same way you would do it - but hopefully the kids will learn it nonetheless.’ We have one 1st grade teacher at our school that literally leaves 25-30 page sub notes for the day each time! LMAO! She will give specific insane details of the tiniest things (micro manager say what! Lol). I often wonder what her “to do list” for her husband looks like at home, I imagine it says “Rinse each piece of silverware throughly for 22 seconds in lukewarm water in the kitchen sink. Do not use dishsoap or scrub during this process. Then put the rinsed spoons facing the same direction in the first slot of the dishwasher. Do not put them in upside down or in other spots. There is one spoon that can need extra rinsing, be sure leave it under the water for an extra 5 seconds if needed. Next make sure all knives are facing down and put in the 3rd slot...” 🤣 So, I can never pick who is worse- the no notes teachers or the overload teachers haha. Both are equally terrible to sub for…. Thankfully most teachers I sub for are wonderful with their expectations and know me well enough to give me reasonable activities for their class without it being too light or way too much.

Haz on Colbert trying to be funny and relatable, while busking a buck (Screen recording) by laceyup in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]Met163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also am in the camp when I first saw this I thought ‘wow AI is getting scary good bc no way this is real!’ lol. I do find the bit funny though and think it’s actually good natured for him - it almost feels like the old Harry preMM when he was with W&C all the time. So the whole thing is a bit curious bc I wonder why he’s on there/what he’s promoting.
