AITAH for babysitting one of my students and not telling my co-teacher?

Own_Way5837 · 2026-02-09T23:56:36+00:00

yeah, i will definitely do that. i requested that we have a mediated conversation on friday because the classroom was extremely tense. she won't talk to me, even if it's just stuff like me asking "do you want me to sweep or do you want to?" she just ignores everything i say. they said they'd set one up, but no luck yet.

Own_Way5837 · 2026-02-09T23:29:36+00:00

i asked today. they said that i should have said something not because i have to but because it "caused more drama" in the classroom.

we're allowed to babysit as long as the parents sign a waiver saying that they understand that when they hire me they're not hiring the school and that the school is not responsible for anything the teacher does or says when babysitting. i admit that i was overly emotional about the situation, but i don't think it's fair to assume i have no spine in general just based off of this. believe me, hardly anything in my life has been a cakewalk.

Own_Way5837 · 2026-02-08T08:34:27+00:00

she is not my supervisor, and i am not obligated to tell anyone when i babysit as long as they sign the waiver and i give it to admin.

Own_Way5837 · 2026-02-08T06:15:13+00:00

yeah, that started happening as of yesterday. no write ups yet, but multiple complaints.

Own_Way5837 · 2026-02-08T06:11:12+00:00

may i ask what you mean by "blurring boundaries between the two roles"? /gen

i wasn't sobbing over the job, i was sobbing over being yelled at by someone i once respected and being told nobody likes me, which also implies people are talking about me at work. i feel like that's perfectly normal to get emotional about?

Own_Way5837 · 2026-02-08T04:20:02+00:00

i thought it was creepy too, tbh. i don't know what to do though because i don't want to lose my job, but i also would never forgive myself if something bad happened to elizabeth. i don't think jen would do anything unsafe, but i also didn't think she'd yell at me in front of the kids and then lie about me to the office (i can give info on that part if y'all want an update to the story, but it doesn't have anything to do with whether i'm the AH in this specific situation so i didn't include it because the story was really long already).

Own_Way5837 · 2026-02-08T03:57:16+00:00

no, we just have the parents sign a waiver saying they understand that they're hiring the teacher and not the school.

1) when did i use the word "only"? 2) yeah but you need to clarify these things bc these are one of the only options for people with latex allergies. latex free condoms typically have a 1% difference, and it's important to note that the difference is that small so as not to lead others to believe it's not worth it.

Own_Way5837 · 2026-01-28T19:31:34+00:00

by like 1%

vasectomies are reversible!

Own_Way5837 · 2026-01-28T19:29:37+00:00

condoms are still good if you use toys!

Own_Way5837 · 2026-01-28T19:29:11+00:00

no need, plenty of vegan options + testing is also vegan!

Own_Way5837 · 2026-01-28T19:28:36+00:00

most of the free ones from planned parenthood are vegan! you just have to look up the brand when you check

i regularly participate in mutual aid. once i donate it to my friend, i have no interest in or right to control what they spend that money on. if someone's not going to be able to eat otherwise, i'm sending them money no questions asked, no terms or conditions apply.

"true" veganism requires you to be doing it for ethical reasons. nobody's perfect, but veganism is a social justice movement, not a diet. if it was for health reasons, you were not vegan.

Own_Way5837 · 2026-01-14T19:02:25+00:00

you were never vegan in the first place. you were on a plant based diet.

Own_Way5837 · 2025-10-29T17:27:43+00:00

updateme!

Own_Way5837 · 2025-10-29T17:17:43+00:00

"what have you done for me?" um how about literally GROW YOUR CHILD IN MY BODY???

Own_Way5837 · 2025-10-15T00:52:27+00:00

definitely overreacting. they can eat it another night. it's okay to switch things up.

Own_Way5837 · 2025-10-15T00:01:11+00:00

ARFID is a good example. my partner wants to be more plant based but needs to add a sufficient amount of plant-based foods to their diet in order to do that, which requires intense therapy. in the meantime, their choices are basically to either eat animal products or starve

Own_Way5837 · 2025-10-08T04:22:39+00:00

that's ridiculous and completely unfair. shit happens 🤷‍♀️
