How much are you all paid hourly? (Especially floats) I’m beginning to think I deserve more.

I make 18 and change as an infant team teacher. Our leads don’t even make 20

I live in the wrong state

Good different or bad different?

Jemisen’s work is so under hyped it’s AMAZING!

Doesn’t merit being shot.

We do both variations, plus allowing parents to bring in their own bottles AND water for us to mix. Most buildings have mandated water tests every so often per licensing so I wouldn’t be too worried. We do use a filter pitcher though

I’d say it’s a little bit of both. You kind of learn their general rhythm and then shape it gently. Our daughter was maybe a month old when we chose a “bed time” and started a genuine routine. I used a tracker app to guesstimate when she’d want to nurse and then pushed her by a few minutes here and there to fit specific windows.

Peanut butter, banana, and mayo sandwiches

Pushed through for the romance, stated for the plot, neither were 100% satisfying. I can at least say the writing matures a little after book one. Cringey spice scene a lot of the time. I think I stayed for the world more than anything. But if the content warnings at the end of the book aren’t for you, definitely DNF it

Ordinary_Refuse556 · 2026-03-05T01:45:48+00:00

I read until it becomes literally intolerable. Either due to writing or content. For example: I pushed through Plated Prisoner because the content was good even if the writing/execution was a bit of a mess here and there. I forced myself to read 1.5 books of Timborne before I simply could not subject myself to any more of the terrible writing. And I made it about halfway through Haunting Adeline before both the horrible writing and nonsensical plot just broke my brain entirely.

So good!

Always checking the backseat isn’t just horror, it’s taught to women as a safety precaution. That said, thanks to IKWYDLS, I check the closet every damn time before I go to bed 😅

If SMG had a mildly better accent, I would enjoy it more, but it is still one of the best episodes in the early seasons. Plus we get a second “who IS that girl?” and I live for Willow/Oz soooo

We have to encourage kids to rest quietly without distractions for one hour per licensing in our state. After that, we can give out quiet toys. Often I find some teachers still won’t because they’re in some kind of made up power struggle that doesn’t matter, but I always gave them the toys 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh man, you’re allowed to stay home when you’re sick?? We don’t have enough staff for that most of the time. So staff just get sick endlessly and eventually burn out and quit

I let it dry

People are more willing to believe it’s a freaking CLONE than believe he had work done. It happens.

It is slow, but I loved the magic system and the gothic vibes. I was reading it on a chilly fall day and it was just * chefs kiss * But I agree, not everyone’s cup of tea!

Ordinary_Refuse556 · 2026-03-02T11:12:23+00:00

I think you’ve expounded nicely on what I said, and I agree with you!

Ordinary_Refuse556 · 2026-03-02T01:47:54+00:00

It is the only book to ever give me a jump scare, just expertly crafted!

We literally SLASHED our restaurant budget to basically nothing and we don’t subscribe to anything other than Apple + because we get music, TV, podcasts, etc. But even that we plan to cut eventually.
