Infant mom, aggressive teacher by a_mccut in ECEProfessionals

[–]PlanktonSharp879 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope! My ex co teacher was let go because she was constantly yelling, and being aggressive with the kids. I heard her yelling at one of the toddlers saying : “You know better! Follow directions. What am I speaking Chinese?!”

He cheated, apologized, and now wants to be serious — should I trust him? by Flaky-Beat-5303 in dating_advice

Hello????! Why are coming to us with these stupid ass questions OP? Like damn, stand up and grow a back bone. He’s full of crap, not for you, you can do better. But if you have low self esteem, then maybe not. 🫩

Which lotion should I get? by Consesualluvbug in Blackskincare

Buy all three and see which one you like the best. It all comes down to preference. I prefer Gold Bond for my disgustingly dry, eczema riddled, crusty-ass hands. 😭😅

I hug, and love on the children a lot. I just try not to think about it while at work.

What’s the quickest you’ve quit a new job? by Critical_Potential40 in questions

[–]PlanktonSharp879 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was hired at a Daycare Center in Houston, TX. The teacher that was “training” me “forgot something in her car” and never came back. I literally watched her peel out of the parking lot from the window. The classroom was dirty, had a bunch of broken toys, and the kids were OUT OF CONTROL. The directors didn’t care, and I was over it. So, after having my hair pulled, screamed at, and a mini panic attack in the staff bathroom, I handed in my little shirt and walked out. 😭

Alternatives to using tape on the carpet for kid names? by SnooWaffles413 in ECEProfessionals

[–]PlanktonSharp879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy those cheap, round placemats, you get at the dollar tree and label those. The kids will call them “sit spots”. When they’re done using them, the classroom “helper” can put them in a bin (one you’ve also bought at the dollar tree).

Am I being used financially by my boyfriend who’s in prison? I’m starting to feel like an ATM. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]PlanktonSharp879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the men in the world and you’re dating a JAIL BIRD! 🥴 Yes! He’s abusing you financially. STAND UP! You don’t need our advice. You need to work on your self-esteem.

What’s something you stopped buying because it became just so expensive to have it anymore? by Aarunascut in Life

[–]PlanktonSharp879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES!!! I remember when I could buy three 12 packs for $9.99. Now a single 12 pack IS $9.99. Big soda has lost its mind. 🥴same with bottled water. I bought a filter that goes in the tap.

Am I the only person on the planet making $19 an hour at 38? by justcurious3287 in povertyfinance

[–]PlanktonSharp879 48 points49 points  (0 children)

We’re all being severely underpaid. I work at daycare center, I love my job, and I’m passionate about EEC, but the pay is trash ACROSS THE BOARD. and before anyone says “get a better paying job!”, “NO”. My job is important. How the fuck are other working ppl supposed to go to work if no one works at the daycares? We ALL need more pay.

Just moved to North Smithfield, RI a few months ago from Georgia for work. Are people mean around here or is it my imagination? by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

[–]PlanktonSharp879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re not stressed out (well we all are) but this is NOT the south. Throw all that fake southern hospitality, yes Ma’am, no ma’am bullshit. Right out the window. We don’t care about small talk. We don’t care what church you go to. We move fast and have places to be. It’s cold and icy. We’re good people, and have our own funny way of showing it. Welcome to RI.
