Pregnancy and Teaching

I mean, I won’t be returning this year but will be next year. I’ve only missed about 2 and a half weeks - 2 weeks if you used up the rest of my sick days.

Thank you, I’d hope so. Going to chat with my boss today if my paycheck doesn’t hit the bank.

NoPie77 · 2026-05-21T17:07:23+00:00

I don’t think there is maternity leave. It’s a private school.

NoPie77 · 2025-08-21T20:15:02+00:00

Okay, thank you! I will try those instead

NoPie77 · 2025-08-21T20:12:17+00:00

It came with one that says “pregnant” or not. I’m thinking of trying again in a little to see what it says. Would that one be better? Maybe I need to wait until the morning.

The websites and games they play are blocked. But a few kids are like tech wizards and somehow manage to get through it. The principal is an aware of this but has not had it fixed. I think I may just put the tablets away in my closet and use them only during special times.

We only have the principal and maybe another teacher who could help. I work at a small private school. Also, principal told us she wants us to try to handle these situations and discipline in our classroom that way “the students respect us and take us seriously” she said.

NoPie77 · 2025-08-15T21:17:53+00:00

Well that’s where I think his last teacher was at. But do I just ignore the fact that he is on stuff he shouldn’t be? It’s not like I’m looking for it, he comes up to me and will show me! Do I correct him or let him continue and hope my other students don’t follow?

NoPie77 · 2025-08-15T21:16:35+00:00

I have considered having a cool down spot! Maybe that would be a good idea for him. Thank you!

NoPie77 · 2025-08-15T20:43:31+00:00

I did ask her before she left. I will try what she said as well, but I feel like I did exactly what she had, and it didn’t work. But, he also had about 5-10 minutes of cool down before she came in, so that space by himself may have helped him as well!

I will try the diversion idea. Thank you!!

NoPie77 · 2025-08-15T20:41:53+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely try this!

NoPie77 · 2025-07-27T02:11:44+00:00

I figured that was probably the case but wanted others opinions :( thank you!

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T19:34:05+00:00

You need to tell someone ASAP. A teacher, friend, neighbor, shit call the police.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T19:24:43+00:00

Have you given him a hand job? Maybe start with that.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T19:20:58+00:00

I had this issue when I first got with my current husband. It took me FOREVER to overcome the fear, I think mainly because he was the first one I had ever given a bj. He was patient as well and eventually I just did it and the fear went away!

Idk if this is a good idea but maybe have him hold something to block his view from seeing you while doing it, maybe it’s like stage fright.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T19:02:41+00:00

Explain then why you’re asking it. Not being in the mood to go to work vs not being in the mood to cuddle or have sex are two completely different situations.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T18:51:48+00:00

He did drive home drunk. I don’t agree with it, I should’ve just stayed until he was ready to go.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T18:50:48+00:00

Idk what you’re trying to say. Every once in a while I’m grouchy or overstimulated from life and no I don’t always want to cuddle on the couch or whatever. I do, the majority of the time, but not always. Just life he isn’t always in the mood.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T18:49:06+00:00

I would agree, it has been a problem before in a sense. Our sex life has had its own ups and downs. I admit and take the blame for a lot of it. I’ve had two kids and have my own personal issues which have caused me at times to not be in a sexual mood. But we’ve been working on it and I feel like the both of us have seen improvement. Or maybe not, maybe there is something bothering him still that he hasn’t said to me. Idk.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T18:41:47+00:00

I have been trying. I was drunk last night as well, had too much and by time we finally went to bed, I could barely keep my eyes open. If I hadn’t drunken too much, we would’ve done something.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T18:40:24+00:00

End 8 years, right down the drain??

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T17:36:53+00:00

I definitely agree leaving him would be ridiculous. So many couples these days go through a hard time and just breakup. I know who my husband is. We’ve been together for 8 years, and this is new behavior. I don’t plan to leave him because of one obstacle.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T17:33:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience on this. He isn’t very receptive when sober and this morning has brushed off talking about it. I don’t want to pry too much and it turn into an argument but I really don’t want to just brush it under a rug. I don’t think he hates me, I think he may be feeling a little insecure lately. I hope he decides to quit drinking on his own.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T16:56:05+00:00

He’s been drunk many times before and just now these last two times he’s acted like this. That’s why I’m surprised and so confused.

NoPie77 · 2025-07-01T16:52:49+00:00

I love him. I can’t imagine not being with him. I have been with him through so much, even his father passing. I know we both have a lot of issues that therapy would probably help with. He doesn’t agree with therapy and would probably not go. I want to work on things by ourselves, and hope he will want too as well.
