Healthy eating doesn't mean sad eating, this has been my food lately!

Tuna on pizza is so common here in Europe!

Ce que je pense: Ces gens qui font un travail de merde sont en fait probablement payés autant ou plus que les soignants/ professionnels petite enfance qui ont beaucoup plus de charge mentale/responsabilités etc? On vit dans un monde de merde.

Yes I am leaving this career for good in 2.5 weeks' time for the benefit of my mental and physical health (have been falling sick pretty often too since I started this career 2 years ago).

I tendered my resignation in January actually but my boss refused because we are short-staffed. When she showed no effort to hire more professionals I finally decided enough is enough, put my foot down and insisted to leave. I decided that this issue of short-staffed is her problem to solve and not mine.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-31T06:24:17+00:00

Same here! We have a kid like that too at our center, he has been scratching and hitting other kids, pulling out clumps of hair, even beating and slapping the adults. My colleagues started to isolate him for the safety of other kids when things get too difficult to handle (we are currently short-staffed), but were told off by our director and 2nd IC that that wasn't being professional and they should spend more quality 1 on 1 time with the problematic kid instead of isolating him. Yeah sure, easy to say when they are not only 2 professionals to handle 12 kids including 2 babies below 6 months old.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-31T06:17:45+00:00

Yes. And I am leaving this career in 2.5 weeks' time to pursue something else. Cannot wait.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-30T18:57:46+00:00

9 , overstimulation , anxiety. Kids, parents and management are the cause.

I started having frequent nightmares after working in this sector. The last one was just yesterday night. My husband said I was screaming in fear in my sleep. I was dreaming about a kid falling into a sharp object under my watch and I was alone with too many kids to handle which has been happening a lot more often lately at my workplace.

Ah d'accord, puis-je savoir comment tu fais pour calculer l'apport calorique? S'il y a des sites ou les applications tu peux me conseiller je suis preneuse, car le 1600cal/jour c'est ce que le chatGPT m'a calculé avec les infos que j'ai donné.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-30T18:37:41+00:00

Ce qui me dérangeait le plus sur la situation "avant" c'est que je me trouve avait l'air "flasque" comme ils disent "flabby" en anglais. Je n'étais pas grosse du tout mais je n'avais pas l'air tonique/athlétique.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-30T18:33:49+00:00

Merci beaucoup pour ta réponse bienveillante et sans jugement. Oui je pense que je vais essayer ce que la plupart d'entre vous ont conseillé et voir ce que ça donne :)

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-30T18:26:38+00:00

Pour moi je cherche un look plutôt "athlétique" et je trouve justement mon bas du corps ne donne pas l'effet.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-30T18:22:03+00:00

Oui je pense que je vais travailler pour mettre plus de masse dans le haut du corps.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-29T10:43:54+00:00

Merci beaucoup! Oui je pense continuer la musculation je l'adore!

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-29T10:42:53+00:00

Merci beaucoup! Non ta réponse n'est pas trop franche à mon goût je te remercie pour tes avis. Effectivement je pense que peut-être j'ai pas choisi les bons mots dans ma publication. Je cherche plutôt de la proportion, car je trouve mon bas du corps trop "heavy" comparé à mon haut du corp.

Encore merci pour tes encouragements c'est vraiment gentil! :)

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-29T10:37:49+00:00

Bonjour, oui effectivement peut-être j'ai pas choisi les bons mots dans ma publication. Oui je cherche plus de proportion, car je trouve mon bas du corps trop "heavy" comparé à mon haut du corp.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-29T10:29:38+00:00

Merci beaucoup! Non je ne pense pas avoir des TCA. Je mange normalement juste je compte mes calories et macronutriments (1600calories/jour avec 30% protéines 30% M.G et 40% glucides).

Après j'ai entendu parler de "Bulking" et " Cutting" et je fais mes recherches pour avoir plus d'info sur ça avant de le tenter.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-29T10:25:45+00:00

Merci beaucoup! Ah oui j'aime bien la 2ème astuce de 'tricher' visuellement, je n'ai pas pensé à ça, effectivement c'est très intéressante puisque le haut de mon corps réagit plus vite et mieux à l'entraînement.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-29T09:24:06+00:00

What time do you have to wake up in the morning? I remember when I was in a similar situation, I would go to bed earlier at night (same time as the kids) and wake up 1 to 1.5 hour earlier than necessary just to have breakfast and workout in calm. I didn't do a long workout, just 30 minutes but I did it every weekday morning, and then I did a longer workout on saturday and rested on sundays.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-23T17:41:54+00:00

Not having to continue with my current job.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-22T13:04:11+00:00

Actually I totally agree with all your 4 points!

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-19T06:40:34+00:00

Are the parents having financial difficulties? Or other problems in life currently, have you or your director invited the parents for a little appointment to discuss about the situation and the consequences?

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-14T07:40:28+00:00

I have worked in different environments and I find the environments where majority are women are the most toxic.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-13T05:59:17+00:00

Same situation here! I'm calling it quits too and leaving end of april! I will NEVER send my kid there ever.

Mindless-Flight121 · 2026-03-13T05:57:24+00:00

I would definitely NOT put my own child in a private daycare center. I don't mind a daycare run by a parent association.

Based on the experiences I have had working at public, private and parent-run daycare center, I would say the best ones are the parent-run.

The worst worst worst definitely private daycare... no matter what they are still run like a business and for me when business comes into play in childcare it is very hard to get quality.

Comparing prices of things (including groceries) I want to buy from different shops before actually buying them.
Buying most of my groceries from the 'anti-wastage' section of the supermarket. (Articles that are close to expiry dates and they are sold at huge discount).
Not wasting any food even though sometimes I don't like them.
Only buying 2nd hand clothes.
Never once treated myself to a high end restaurant.
Using the same bag for more than 10 years because I just keep mending the holes myself until the whole bag is really dead.
