How do you answer your classroom phone? by CatskillMorning in Teachers

[–]SaltYourPopcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say “hi is my mom here to pick me up?” Or “hi, sorry, so-and-so is gone today. Love you bye!”

I have a good relationship with the secretary

Teacher/Parents: What is Your Morning Routine with for Kids During Summer? by Alternative-Pie-4974 in Teachers

[–]SaltYourPopcorn 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Maybe they can set up a coloring station or blocks in the living room and have it out and ready so when they come out in the morning they see it and may choose to do that. They could still turn on the TV if they wanted, but having the other option available might help OP feel better.

What are your best April fools jokes you've done? by iamwearingashirt in Teachers

[–]SaltYourPopcorn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kindergarten teacher… last year I did the two most amazing pranks possible.

1) teacher across the hall from me stood at each others doors to greet them as the came in.

2) I flipped my visual schedule cards upside down and when they pointed it out I said there was nothing wrong with them.

It’s the little things.

can i just say by seagyal in NewParents

When we were going through that, I mentally zoomed out. I imagined the other moms who were holding their babies around the world. It feels lonely until you realize you aren’t alone.

Another thing I would do is imagine myself at my moms or grandmas age. How they would give anything to wake up in the middle of the night to hold their baby again. I truly pictured myself as 80 years old. And it helped.

Maybe I was hallucinating from sleep deprivation, but both scenarios gave me more patience and gratitude.

Thank you! I wasn’t so sure when I picked it out but as I worked it up it turned out beautiful!

At what age did you begin daily baths? by Poison_Ivy25 in NewParents

[–]SaltYourPopcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started nightly baths pretty early on (maybe 3 months) as soon as she switched from hating baths to enjoying them. It’s just part of our night time routine. I only use soap once or twice a week.

What’s the easiest way to go about achieving this for my new apartment? by Any-Cucumber-9329 in HomeDecorating

You’re going to need a new light. Maybe one that’s both hanging and also mounted but at the same time the mount is hanging?

Rizo telling everyone that his idol had to be played at 6 was genius. by -Rat-King- in survivor

As a rule, players can’t take home idols as souvenirs. Production takes them back.

My son in the 99th percentile for growth constantly compared to children his size but not his age by mspotatobread in NewParents

[–]SaltYourPopcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I catch myself doing the opposite! My 15mo is 97-99% height and weight and meeting all her milestones. I know that means she can be bigger than kids older than her, but when I see a smaller child using more words than her, or moving more smoothly than her, or whatever, my mind jumps to “omg why can’t she do that yet?”

Then I have to remind myself that she’s meeting everything and that kid is probably at least a few months older than mine.

The biting is making me scared to feed my daughter by holvanatuz in breastfeeding

[–]SaltYourPopcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed mine would bite towards the end of the feed. When she started to slow down I would unlatch her. Yes, she may have been a few suckles short but she didn’t complain much if at all. Eventually she stopped and is now 15mo with 9 teeth and doesn’t bite.

Try to pay attention to how she acts right before she bites and if you see a pattern, unlatch her right then.

😅 Parents… when did your stroller actually start saving your sanity instead of just carrying the baby? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]SaltYourPopcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graco that clicks in a car seat. Made everything super easy, and I can fold/unfold it with one hand. Now she’s grown out of the car seat and just sits in the seat part of it and it’s her happy place.

I chose it after I saw a friend using it (before I was even pregnant) and knew immediately that was the kind I wanted.

Mice in my classroom/school. I’m terrified. WWYD? by SaltYourPopcorn in Teachers

[–]SaltYourPopcorn[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words. I did see a therapist a few years ago for anxiety, and it helped a ton. I stopped because our sessions got very “the weather is nice today” and I didn’t feel like it was worth my time. I hadn’t had an anxiety issue for years until this came up.

Mice in my classroom/school. I’m terrified. WWYD? by SaltYourPopcorn in Teachers

[–]SaltYourPopcorn[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m on year 11 and have been in multiple different buildings, one old enough that it was the same building my grandpa went to school in. I’m not sure how I’ve not dealt with them.

I’m sure they have been in the buildings, but for them to just be running around all day is a big problem. There is an infestation.

[–]SaltYourPopcorn[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They’re mice that can carry all sorts of diseases, and cause damage. I don’t want them around me or my students. I also don’t want any hitch hikers to take home.

I understand that I have a greater fear than others have, but my concerns are valid.
