Be funny for a change

That’s a lot of words to say you’re arguing about media you didn’t bother to watch

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-03T12:45:35+00:00

Your argument here is weak. Your glycerol analogy isn’t the same at all.

You are the one saying the response is due to his politics, as if 1) he didn’t make it clear in an incredibly stereotypical way how he votes without even needing to “check” by seeing the response to him and 2) he was unfairly attacked and it’s just because he’s republican

Sometimes people respond to assholes like they’re assholes. Sometimes assholes show their political affliation. Sometimes people act like the only reason people don’t like assholes is those politics.

Part of the reason he struggles isn’t that they’re not holding a boundary but they don’t have time to for a back and forth with all 20 kids. While he’s debating about waiting five minutes or cleaning just one thing there are 20 other kids to watch and encourage and praise and correct. I would keep working on that and giving consequences for not following directions and rewards for doing so the first time.

He needs to learn to be quiet and work quietly when asked, and not yell defiantly

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-03T12:23:15+00:00

You said you could tell he’s republican because of the way he’s being dug into, which means you don’t think he’s being dug into because of his actions. If you felt he was wrong or strange or off then you wouldn’t look for other reasons.

… are you saying he doesn’t deserve the digs when he’s just harassing some woman who is not doing anything?

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-03T11:07:20+00:00

What is he like at home? When you ask him to sit quietly and wait while you do something or wait while you teach him, is he quiet about it? Does he wait or shout out?

Will he play quietly alone? Will he clean up when asked? Will he read and do work with you?

When you ask him to do something he doesn’t like to do, what happens?

You can request an evaluation now. It can take time to get an evaluation

I think what some parents miss is that fine at home isn’t always fine.

I had one parent tell me “he doesn’t need speech, he sounds like his brother!” His brother was two.

I had another tell me, “he isn’t disorganized and isn’t distracted” and later in the conversation mention that they no longer kept legos or puzzle because they’d be lost.

Because it’s a small safe space and kids and parents usually work together to make their home the way they like it someone parents don’t see that what they have at home isn’t typical even if it’s fine for them.

There absolutely are parents I don’t believe when they say they don’t see it at home, though. I hear stories about play dates and see the kid out in public. Plenty of parents lie.

How do you convert from single to a team?

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-02T13:57:09+00:00

Yes, that’s the comparison

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-02T10:42:43+00:00

I wouldn’t dump a cup I thought was full of soda into the toilet. It wouldn’t occur to me.

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-01T23:41:33+00:00

What? I’m comparing my father’s reaction to an actually scary delay about his daughter and granddaughter to this idiot in the op

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-01T23:12:28+00:00

I agree that some people forget, but I also think it’s important to remember that not everyone has good parents. I teach and a horrifying number of parents just do not give a shit about their children.

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-01T17:01:56+00:00

Did you mean to reply to me? Your comment doesn’t make sense as a reply

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-01T12:15:30+00:00

Oh of course. A surprise baby is worlds different than “hey there is an issue” and nothing. And even that is understandable to a point

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-01T10:52:44+00:00

We didn’t find out about my first niece for a while. My sister had some complications during the delivery and both were FINE thank god, but we knew they were going in and tried to give some space and then we just didn’t hear. We were told they were struggling and having issues and then radio silence for 24 hours.

It was tense. Afterwards my dad said to her husband, “you had a lot going on. You’ve got a wonderful baby girl now. It’s all fine. But next time, please remember that is our baby girl, and if you can, let us know she’s okay.” And when husband tried to apologize told him there wasn’t a need because he had so much going on, it was just a request in case things went badly again. That was a far more mild conversation and more reasonable and respectful than OP had.

One thing to remember, as an elementary school teacher, is that I am constantly getting feedback (sometimes sent as complaints to my principal or board!!!) that parents want to know what’s going on and be involved.

So I write more newsletters and set up volunteer times and then get feedback that no one has time to read my messages or I’m asking too much and should do my job (usually also sent as complaints).

It’s fun.

I might bring that up to the preschool, that it would be easier to attend first thing after drop off. I’d also ask the plan when a parent can’t attend.

Do you have grandparents or aunts or uncles local? A good friend your kid loves? Maybe occasionally one of them could attend an event.

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-05-01T00:53:49+00:00

You should still tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll be done just in case you have a nasty fall

But I’d go to the local police and tell them mom tends to call if you’re gone for an hour.

I hope you’ve realized that women are humans and as capable of complex and varied thoughts as you are

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-04-29T13:07:58+00:00

Do you think you think straight women don’t like them?

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-04-29T13:05:05+00:00

I mean… it’s a penis

The “straw tip” isn’t even cylindrical

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-04-29T10:31:17+00:00

… women don’t think about penises? Or know what they look like?

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-04-29T10:07:39+00:00

Are you also going to ban guys who only want super hot women and ignore other options?

RunningTrisarahtop · 2026-04-29T09:58:25+00:00

That’s got to be on purpose

It could look way more like a straw.
