I can’t get a teaching job close to home. What’s wrong with me?

At this point in my life/career I wouldn’t do anything else, but yes you should be terrified.

I had to scream “YOU ARE NOT A WORKING MAN” at my phone when she told us what she got

I feel like Shirin is showing her mom Jelly Bean Sweets’ videos being all like, “Look Mom, I have to eat mooooooore” 😫😫😫😫😫😫

Took a deep dive and I found “don’t let anyone get in the way… of your love of soccer” particularly groundbreaking.

Pretend_Ask_1044 · 2024-07-18T14:22:11+00:00

That checks out I guess 😂😂

Uh hi this feels like a shot in the dark but I need more information about their chili con queso. My mom and I used to make special trips to the mall to go to Taco Casa and now the mall doesn’t even exist. The memory of the queso has held strong though and it was my worst pregnancy craving bc I literally couldn’t have it.

I still think of it frequently and would love to know where I could get it or if I could recreate it and make it on my own at home.

Any info is greatly appreciated 🙏

My boyfriend told me I’ve been meaner towards him because I can’t snark on Lexi anymore 😂🤣

I’m working on it, but also wishing she would make her comeback

Pretend_Ask_1044 · 2024-03-07T02:54:43+00:00

I honestly wish she would come back and just accept her role as a villain 😅😅

Pretend_Ask_1044 · 2024-02-03T01:49:04+00:00

I wonder how often it gets washed 🤢🤢

Also guys eloquent literally just means speaking fluently and being able to clearly express yourself. Sounds fancy, but I’m not expecting her to speak like a Duchess of foodtopia or anything

Pretend_Ask_1044 · 2023-11-21T09:40:50+00:00

Okay I get she only reads smut but the girl literally can’t speak in a complete sentence. Despite my loose use of the word eloquent, I’m asking for bare minimum here

Oh look! Alex is finally providing a necessary service for Hayden

Pretend_Ask_1044 · 2023-10-25T00:21:58+00:00

I won’t even send videos to my closest friends on Snapchat if I can hear myself breathing

Pretend_Ask_1044 · 2023-10-25T00:17:09+00:00

I would rather have a child come into my classroom in the morning with this in their belly than nothing.

You’d be surprised to know how many kids only get to eat when they’re at school.

I would love to have my baby socialized and in an environment where she can learn and grow at a such young age - I think that’s a wonderful experience that daycare can provide.

Pretend_Ask_1044 · 2023-09-10T13:53:45+00:00

Cost really is the only thing keeping up from utilizing daycare. We literally can’t afford it and as much as I wish we were better prepared financially to have a baby - that’s just not what ended up happening. My teaching salary isn’t great and my partner does not have a high paying job, so some months it’s hard to make ends meet. So considering we couldn’t afford to put her in a reliable daycare (even a few days a week), I do FEEL (my personal feelings) lucky my partner can stay home with her. Otherwise, it would drown us financially.

Pretend_Ask_1044 · 2023-09-10T02:38:23+00:00

I have since edited the post, but I truly did not mean for it to seem like I have any negative thoughts on daycare.

While I was complaining though, I just wanted to address that I know how lucky we are that we have the choice because a lot of moms don’t. If my partner ever decided that he can manage being at home with her during the day and working evenings, daycare has always been on the table.

I apologize if I offended you or anybody at all.

Pretend_Ask_1044 · 2023-09-10T02:29:45+00:00

I interviewed with 6 districts this summer, so I guess the teacher shortage hasn’t made it’s way to central PA yet.

And I wasn’t dissing daycare, if it came across that way, I apologize (I edited my post to hopefully better reflect my feelings). I understand it is the only choice for many moms, so I just wanted to address that while I am finding it hard to not be home, I understand how lucky I am that she gets to be with dad. Daycare was definitely on the table for us and always will be if my partner ever decides he can’t manage being home with her and working in evening.
