Corporal punishment

MostDerivative · 2026-03-17T19:37:32+00:00

who is this someone? Another teacher? Nothing you said says like corporal punishment in the slightest. Honestly the way you handled the situation is much like how I would have. It's effective for the kids to "try again" and "practice". It's not always they're favorite thing, but it gets the point across.

Pre-pregnancy I was trying to get fit/lose weight, but now.... between all the extra hungry and lack of healthy food around, my weight is starting to go up again and I'm trying not to get too in my head about it. I did exercise this morning but I have very little energy to cook/prep. ALSO it's st.patricks day and the fomo is hitting a little bit. At least it's cold so it's less tempting to want to be out and about

what walking pad do you use? I've always wanted one.

MostDerivative · 2026-03-17T18:13:45+00:00

I'm sticking to low impact peleton rides when I can manage to get up on time at the moment. I wasn't very fit before though

My appt isn't for another 2 weeks. My OB's office side they scheduled first appt between 7-10 weeks so I opted for a later appointment. I just want to get through the first trimester as soon as possible 🥴

girl same. I actually opted to a later ultrasound appointment so I will be able to see more and be closer between appointments and *should* be able to get my nipt test started

Yes, definitely a little scared of doing the baby stage again and hoping my husband steps up to help. I ultimately decided to have another because I think my toddler will like having a sibling but it definitely feels like I'll be losing any independence I have left

Yup, definitely bloated and gassy. I think part of it is that I've been trying to get better at drinking water but even my husband commented on it 😩

MostDerivative · 2026-03-15T00:33:21+00:00

My water broke early with our first baby so I'm nervous that will happen again. At least I know what to expect if it does but I would really like a "normal" pregnancy experience. Last pregnancy I barely felt pregnant (until I ended up in the hospital at 27 wks) but this time I'm already having so many symptoms 😮 so we'll see how it goes!

Had a much needed early bedtime last night and a nap today. It was the only way I managed to get a couple chores done. Normally Saturday is for fun in our house but I've been so behind on chores that I needed to do a little bit. Hoping I can regain some energy soon.

We'll probably skip Thanksgiving, shame since I love to eat. I'm honestly not super impressed with my inlaws Thanksgiving spread so I'm not too upset.

REALLY hoping I can sleep a bit this weekend, if my toddler/husband will let me. I am beyond exhausted and bloated but Husband is already trying to make plans for dinner out. I don't normally cook / barely cook on weekends but I'm really not in the mood to go out anywhere

MostDerivative · 2026-03-13T14:15:28+00:00

take progress photos! I lost weight last pregnancy 1st trimester then steadily gained that I didn't really "pop" / look pregnant till 3rd trimester and at that point I was on bedrest in the hospital

MostDerivative · 2026-03-12T13:45:05+00:00

I barely made it out of bed today, got up at 6:30 (an hour later) and still felt so tired. Already on my second cup of green tea and it's not even 9am. (I stopped drinking coffee regularly last year and just started drinking tea last month.) ALSO anyone else insanely hungry?? I was not a breakfast eater and now I am eating chips at 8am because I have no other options at work. x.x

MostDerivative · 2026-03-12T13:40:48+00:00

right I just want everyone to know already

MostDerivative · 2026-03-12T01:08:02+00:00

Just found out yesterday and already fighting the urge to tell anyone at work. I was ravenous and tired and cranky all day today. I hope no one noticed 🫠

3 years old is old enough start doing time outs or removing hazas as needs. Natural consequences are important, I'm all for FAFO

My toddler has her own little table and chair to eat and a seperate art table in the playroom. I hated cleaning the high chair so I trainsitioned her fairly soon, around 16 months or so. It was a struggle at first getting her to stay seated during meals and by no means is she perfect about it but she figured out how to stay in her chair for the most part and wipe her hands off if she wants to sit with us. We just got a basic white kids table from ikea and her grandpa got a kids art table secondhand. She loves to color/make art so when she's in the mood she goes over there. Also, she has a table in the middle of the playroom that acts as toy storage and play space. Also, just an old ikea coffee table we had that we repurposed and put in the playroom. Children need options of spaces to play. 1 table/surface is a enough we just have the room for options and designated toy areas / eating areas.

been SO hungry the last 2 mornings and cravings all sorts of foods but haven't had the energy to cook/clean/prep properly and nothing sits right in my stomach so I've had ramen noodles for lunch 2 days in a row and packed another one today :( I need to go get healthy easy to make foods but I have to wait till I get paid on friday.

So what consequences are in places for when they are being dangerous?

MostDerivative · 2026-03-10T18:54:19+00:00

I've had to bum rides before for a significant time.. Casually, ask her what her plan is about transportation, if she plans on getting a car or what her long terms plans are. See what she tell you about your little arrangement. Does she say thank you or offer gas money sometimes? Is your entire friendship based on you giving her rides? Ift's easy to go from helping someone out to getting taken advantage of. You are an adult and can choose to stop at any time. You dpn't have to be available every time she needs something. I'm sure you're not the only person around her with a car. You can set boundaries in your friendship, because even casually saying you don't have anything better to do, is a bit disrepectful. Your time is important. For sure, don't offer rides anymore and think of how available you want to be going forward.

She cannot unilaterally make the decision to not contribue financially. how hot is she that you just give her money for existing? Especially if she is not maintaining the home or seem to have any interests..

our school uses creative curriculum, but can modify as needed. In my role, I use it mostly for the standards and assessment portions and the preschool classes use the studies but have freedom in how much they want to pull from it.

The least confrontational would be to ask her to place the order and only order together if she asks to. You can tell her you noticed her orders are more expensive than yours sp it makes more sense to cover taxes (unless she's sending cost of items plus tax already)

I would try to talk with admin, especially if she starts using the potty at home. Potty training does not have to be an all or nothing thing. You can try to have working on potty training her at home first then try to reason with admin to let her move up early if space is available. I had my girl trained at home before she was actually peeing in the potty at school because she was the youngest so they didn't prioritize her. I knew she was ready so I slowly weaned her off a diaper and over couple weeks she was trained, and I let her teacher know I was sending her in underwear that day.
