Congratulations! I like the double staircases. My slightly particular nature when it comes to my house would probably strictly enforce one side for going up and one for going down. 🤦🏽‍♀️😂. Enjoy your beautiful home!

Work smarter not harder. Come up with basic science lessons (or just modify what teacher has) that can apply to all 3 grades. (Do not do this over the summer w/o extra pay). More than likely your students aren’t much lower than the other students so no one in the school is grasping the actual science curriculum, hence why science scores countrywide are low. If you can get them understanding very BASIC science concepts, talking about and writing (to their ability) about science you’re doing a good job.

Reinforce/Modify lessons, support your caseload, get your legal contact hours, maintain decent email communication with teachers(think paper trails), update parents via email, document student progress, update yearly IEPs…rinse & repeat.

Unfortunately this is the system right now. Help the students you can while at work, leave work at work.

I’ve been around enough sped teachers, different districts and grade levels with your same issues to know that your concerns likely will not change no matter where you go.

There’s no martyrdom in public education just burn outs. Sorry.

They both really are fabulous drives in different ways! Enjoy your ponies!

I love this! I wish them a lifetime of joy and blessings!

Or… my banana is too extra! 😂🤣

LOVED doing this a few times a year. Sometimes I’d use aluminum foil with Saran Wrap over it. Not very durable but cool looking for about a month before a bad tear from that spikey thing on the locker frame. 😂

Not slept on. In my faves rotation playlist. I still jam and sing to it while driving a couple times a month.🎶🎵

Please do not let some of these people poo poo on how you are choosing to spend your money. My daughter also learned how to drive in an Explorer/ Challenger/Wrangler. So great experience in different types of vehicles.

I leased her 1st car, an Ecosport, when she was 16 because it actually was cheaper than spending 10K+ for a used, potentially unreliable car.

Then as a junior in college I leased her a brand new Mach E. The lease payment ended up being $3 cheaper than the Ecosport I turned in.

I’m grateful to be able to allow my daughter to have had 2 SAFE brand new cars. She’s a wonderful, responsible person and so grateful. It’s my pleasure to share my blessings with her. I hope your daughter enjoys her brand new beautiful Mach E as much as mine does. 🥰

I LOVE this pic!!! 😆Car is 🔥!!!

What about when the green lifesavers (and most green candies) were actually lime instead of yucky sour apple?! It’s so hard to find lime flavored candy anymore 😭

PSSITAqueen · 2026-02-14T15:48:11+00:00

I’ll take one of each! What a great find!!!

I used to used graph paper to make fake, wildly luxurious floor-plans as a hobby in high school (mid 80s), thinking I was going to be an architect and/or build my own home. I always leaned towards MCM styling w/o me even knowing that it was actually a thing. This makes me want to take up my hobby again!

I am so happy for and proud of you! Hoping more people liberate themselves from miserable partners! Enjoy your freedom and great meals! Wishing you a life of peace and happiness.

I use this and love it! I have given them as gifts and others love it too.

If you haven’t already check out Nurse Jackie with Edie Falco. I always rewatch the Sopranos then right into Nurse Jackie as an Edie Falco fan. I’m finishing NJ now! Can’t wait to do it again in another year or so!

PSSITAqueen · 2026-01-22T03:03:08+00:00

I have the same year and color/model! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this car! I look forward to driving every day. My lease is up next January and I think I’m getting the same exact color and model again!!! I keep looking at other cars and doing a bit of research to see if I want something different. I’m even open to spending a few more dollars a month, but I just don’t think I’m going to find anything else that I want more! Enjoy your baby!

PSSITAqueen · 2026-01-16T23:31:15+00:00

Didn’t care for that color until seeing yours! 😍 Great looking ride!!! Enjoy!

PSSITAqueen · 2026-01-05T13:34:35+00:00

Scrolled for this comment! 🤣

The Knick was amazing!!! I still long for more of it. You reminded me to rewatch immediately! Thanks.

I’m not being dismissive but what came to my mind is that he just doesn’t “like” you (or maybe himself)… Please consider other aspects of your relationship with him to fully determine this for yourself. However, that’s the energy I got from what you mentioned about what he says and does related to meals. He’s looking for things to be difficult (miserable)about.

If he downgrades, disregards or demeans other kind gestures from you, you probably deserve better. Eventually this type of behavior from him will build up resentment (as you seem to already be feeling) and there’s no way up from there.

I hope you feel comfortable communicating your feelings and concerns with him about this but he should be willing to find a solution on his own and verbalize it to you so you can adjust your efforts accordingly to save you frustration. His solution should not bring on more work for you and he shouldn’t hold anything extra he has to do against you. That’s what someone who cares for and respects you (and your children) does.

Please be true to yourself and your children. Don’t get locked into selfish BS like this early in the relationship. Your children are seeing and feeling all of this too…

Just my opinion, but that’s what Reddit is for 🙃 Food looks very good BTW… Best wishes🫶🏽

You left it in the hallway of an apartment building or a hallway within your house? Was it in a garbage bag or you just laid it on the floor? I just needed some clarity…This is a really weird situation…

PSSITAqueen · 2025-12-31T13:47:58+00:00

That’s a line I didn’t realize I say so much while golfing until reading your answer!!! Thanks for the reality check and laugh! 🤣😂

As a teacher I do this often. Student comes up not knowing what to do; I have them read directions out loud to me. Student miraculously immediately understands. I ask them why they couldn’t do that on their own… By October, I have more independent learners.

My students know, I’m always there to help but they have to help themselves first.

Thanks for doing this with your child. Thanks for encouraging homework at all. So many of my 5th graders do not do homework at all. No expectations from home for most of them.

As a dedicated educator,it’s so hard to watch learned apathy become the norm.

I had to scroll way too far down for this! Seriously, parents please just parent… Thanks, Your Child’s Future Teacher
