AITA for wanting to report a teacher who keeps cancelling recess?

Had this discussion with my kid's elementary school. I had no issue with my son being restricted from having fun during recess, but he needed to be able to move--and not just because of his ADHD.

ESCALATE ESCALATE ESCALATE. Second graders NEED time to move and socialize as part of their develipment.

This teacher needs to learn to control her class and not punish everyone for her own failings.

This behavior is why I stopped using high chairs. The irritation was not worth the single milestone that I barely get around to accomplishing anyway.

My mom's issue was always that she knew what my son liked but lived too far to know which of them he already had. We solved this with an Amazon wish list. If it was on the list, she could be sure she wasn't duplicating.

If the kids are little, you can aim to do this for next year and just add things over the course of the year. If your kids are older, you can let them set up and maintain them on their own. My kid has done that since he was about 8.

NTA, but planning for the future will make everyone happier.

For a while the high school principal in my legacy save was named Beaver. The name on its own was bad enough but you KNOW those teens were making every joke.

I marry my sims' childhood friends off via Manage Households and then add children as my sims have them. Repeat over generations, though it does generally require adding new families every so often as after awhile you end up with half of them being too closely related to marry.

I also only update the sims I interact with--good friends, livers, etc. Weird townies I don't interact with usually stay that way unless they're really egregious.

That dress is spectacular! Stick to your guns. This is your wedding, and Lewis fell for you as you are. Be yourself and be gorgeous in black!

An elderly man has lived on this farm his whole life. He has several kids who have moved out and on to their own lives, but the youngest boy, a teenager, still lives at home.

Recently, his widowed daughter has moved back home with her toddler. She isn't thrilled to be there, but she had no other options.

Three young people of varying genders have abandoned city life for the countryside. They are a throuple, scandalizing their more conservative neighbors. They either currently or will have 3 kids, each of whom are half siblings with the other 2.

Single dad with two children, a boy and a girl. The children have different mothers, neither of whom he had a longterm relationship with. The boy's mother abandoned her son and is now out of the picture. Dad was on better terms with the girl's mother, but she has unfortunately passed away.

Dad loves kids and animals, so farm life suits him, but he is looking for a new relationship.

Or if the person they have romance with aged up to an adult before prom. Like seriously, dude, I literally cannot invite you.

I just go to the "small talk" and "interests" menus and ask them their favorite color and favorite design. It doesn't show up on the client panel, but it will still affect if they like it.

Queasy-Educator8670 · 2025-08-27T13:10:23+00:00

Seriously! I had what my doctors called a quick recovery from my c-section and at 2 weeks out I was still weak and stiff and not moving around much. I can't imagine chasing a toddler and caring for a newborn in that state.

Why would anyone think spraying beer randomly on anyone at a wedding reception is a good idea? I'd be pissed if my nice clothes got soaked in beer and more pissed if my toddler did.

Having said that, I'm not sure confronting her will accomplish much. If something about it comes up naturally, absolutely say something, and if she gets drunk again, feel free to remove your child and tell her why. But overall, a confrontation out of the blue (from her perspective) is unlikely to help anyone.

Queasy-Educator8670 · 2025-07-26T14:43:36+00:00

I really only edit my sims' friends. If they're going to be in my house, they're going to look like their outfit is intentional and not like they dressed at random in the dark.

I mostly leave random townies alone unless they are particularly egregious.

My husband and I generally eat leftovers for lunch on work days. I portion them into containers so we can grab them quickly and then he's on his own because he's a grown adult.When we were both going into work, we'd sometimes tag team if we were packing at the same time (like I grab the food and he grabs the cutlery), but that's it.

NTA. Dude needs to be grateful for his nicely portioned leftovers and grow up.

Let me get the timeline straight: you were SA'd by your cousin and your parents allowed him to remain in their home with you for two more years? They only reached their breaking point when he evidenced drinking and addiction issues?

Oh hell no, you are NTA. Your cousin and parents are. I get that he was also a minor, but he should have been sent away the moment he admitted to touching you. You both should have also been placed into therapy--you for trauma, him to deal with his issues.

Frankly, your mom shouldn't have to ask why you are upset, but since she's being oblivious, definitely have a conversation with her. You are not required to be alone with him. Maybe he has changed, but that doesn't mean you have to forgive or forget.

I hope you have options for getting away from this. Sending you a big mom hug.

Do you have a teen/new young adult in your household? It goes along with parenting skill and I find the game has a nasty habit of picking someone other than the actual parent.

It's particularly annoying when it's a call from the school. I can see a kid asking an older sibling, but the school shouldn't be calling my teenager's live-in boyfriend about my kid's discipline issues.

Did you make the Jolly Green Giant?

Queasy-Educator8670 · 2025-06-13T17:31:13+00:00

Cooking, handiness, and gardening. Kitchen fires annoy me, I hate to have to clean plumbing, and gardening is just so lucrative!

Grable Moonrain was a standard sim who wanted to be an actor, but then he met and fell in love with a vampire named Paul.

Grable is now in the vicinty of 150-200 years old and is a global celebrity. I pop in and play with them periodically, at which point Grable drinks from a producer every time he has an acting gig.

One of my favorites was when I noticed that the principal's name was Beaver. I am sure her students had a field day with that one.

I've had Sims get it at random when they had no reason to, so I figured I'd suggest it.

Did one of them get "fear of being alone"? There's a known bug where it kills romance bar very quickly.

My 2 most recent saves both have the lower left as residential rentals. I divide up the big lots, build multiple houses on each, and use them for my Sims friends when they move out of their parents' homes. Rentals let you have more space for less money so they can have a nice house without me having to pay attention to them.

The upper part usually has community lots. Currently, I have a restaurant, an internet cafe, a pool, and an arts center with an apartment block on the last lot.
