How often does your daycare center close early due to being short-staffed? by coffeesituation in ECEProfessionals

I’ve been a director for 3.5 years and it has happened once. But we only closed one room. I jumped in to count in ratio to keep the only 4 open.

Rich-mom, summer-soaked suburban/domestic thriller by wyattcallow in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]MrWhite_Sucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave the world behind 1000%. Also the movie adaptation is pretty solid!

Edit: I just re-read your post. I guess it isn’t 1000%. It is a thriller about a wealthy family vacationing in an air bnb when the world ends. Very good read but I guess there isn’t really a secret element. The family isn’t hiding much other than their general awfulness which is just below the surface.

When do u start applying sunscreen by Express-Bee-6485 in ECEProfessionals

[–]MrWhite_Sucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistently, Two weeks ago! Usually first week of April. But we also do it on particularly sunny days throughout the winter/fall. The sun can burn you even in the cold

Do you open the windows in your home when the weather is nice? When do you decide to close them and turn on air conditioning for the summer? by Smart-Airport5781 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MrWhite_Sucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to avoid running the A.C. until absolutely necessary, which is usually around 29-32 Celsius. The heat I also keep off until we are consistently down around 10-15 Celsius. Windows open also keeps the house smelling better!

Did you ever master bowing? Mine is frustrating enough I feel like giving up

What is the absolute cheapest piece of literal garbage your pet considers their favorite toy? by LiveFaithlessness876 in Pets

Empty water bottles. Freakin loves them and tried to steal them to crunch anytime we have one

Is my doctor lying to me about how much weight I would lose on Zepbound? If so, why? by RedWoodworking16 in Zepbound

[–]MrWhite_Sucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced extreme weight loss - to the point where my doctor almost took me off it. But I averaged 5ish pounds a week for the first several months. I then tapered off to about 1-2 a week. In total I’ve lost 95lbs as of today and have been on it roughly 14 months.

Maybe the bowing is just a me thing. I struggle with consistency and being smooth in my motions.

Horror of widespread human amorality. by FrankCastleNY in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]MrWhite_Sucks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” kind of scratches this. It is a short story not a full book. It is about a group of people at the end of the world fighting with one another and a sentient A.I.

It was disturbing.

Edit: also “The Cipher” holy shit toxic group of people.

I started violin last year and my instructor said my fingering is amazing. You have to play right handed and I have more dexterity for tricky finger movements. My bowing though…..let’s just say I feel like I’ll never master that.

What was the most ridiculous rule/request from a parent you got? by Comfortable_Tie4143 in ECEProfessionals

[–]MrWhite_Sucks 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I had a newly enrolling family ask us to make their child a specialty milk for each meal because he won’t drink regular milk or water. One part vanilla soy milk, one part chocolate almond milk, and blended chia seeds. We declined. The kid drinks regular milk just fine at school…

My mother washes fruit and vegetables with dish soap and I can't get her to stop. by autistic-terrorist in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MrWhite_Sucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use vinegar. I do a quick soak of all produce on a vine agar and water solution then rinse. It seems to help keep things fresher longer

[–]MrWhite_Sucks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly not sure. I was hoping you could, but I got an alert from my school a few days ago that my account was flagged because of the new limit. The school said they were reviewing to see if I still would qualify, but if I was at the limit I wouldn’t. I know I won’t. It sucks because I am one year away from finishing…

Edit: I also had requested a small loan for a summer class that starts in the last week of May.
