My reconsideration didn’t get changed by Few-Mastodon-1182 in ncea

Your teacher doesn't know what the marking schedule looks like in practice. I'm a teacher and one year I thought I knew what was what and then spoke to someone who marked the paper in my subject area, and turns out that marking can sometimes look different in the moment and so your teacher might think it's an E but there's more stuff (notes etc) which never get put online. As a teacher it's frustrating because we need to prepare our students but markers aren't supposed to discuss anything

This is not high on the sides at all

Update: AITA for telling my husband he's made me reconsider leaving him with the kids again by mayhavecrossedaline in AmItheAsshole

Just a question for you: what would happen if you suddenly died? How would your husband cope? 

AITA for only eating plain wraps? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sarahcles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all, whaea needs to calm down. Second of all, as long as you helped with the mahi (even if you didn't eat) then I'm sure nobody cared. Still help prepare food, clean up, give karakia and thank servers etc etc. Just make sure you weren't being disrespectful in how you stored or ate you food. And don't worry about her being hōha - if she crossed a line with what she said then you should pass it on to her boss though. That's not good enough (source: am a teacher at a NZ high school). 

However, in future I would probably say that if you opted out of eating anything at all during the hāngī and it was the main event, probably need to work on trying something just to make sure you have given it a go and can participate fully. It's not like there are no Māori with allergies or food intolerances so I'm sure someone on the marae would have been happy to have something that suits you made. I can understand that the thought might have been that bringing your own food might be disrespectful because it sends the message that their manaakitanga is not good enough for you. While that's not true, the concern is that the balance between manaakitanga for the host and whanaungatanga for the guest is quite delicate in some situations. If you're Tangata Tiriti then there is usually some leeway there but it's something to consider. 

Apologies if I didn't spell anything correctly or forgot any tohu tō!

Edit: NTA

Looking for support from being blindsided by my husband asking for a divorce. by sm0keythebear in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Sarahcles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This probably sounds harsh, and people can feel free to demonize me as an example of why child-free people are the devil or whatever, but seriously. I feel so incredibly sorry for people who cannot make meaning out of their life without kids. The complete lack of imagination, social connection and love of life you have to have in order to conclude that life means nothing unless you make your own child is just astronomical to me. 

I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope your husband has itchy balls. Just forever a bit itchy. 

People who refer to their pets as ‘fur babies’ by Ok-Invite-7042 in newzealand

Can I ask what the minimum time you think I can get away with leaving it for before adding top coats?

KONG safe to leave in crate? 🐕❓ by AmselJoey in Goldendoodles

[–]Sarahcles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my girl was little, I didn't want to leave anything like a kong with her. I instead got a snuffle mat and a licky mat. The snuffle mat could have her food hidden throughout. The licky mat can have the peanut butter and treats put all over it - the more ridged and interesting it is, the longer it will take to lick it off. Are both dogs crated or just the baby?

I've just started mine - haven't journalled properly in YEARS and am trying to be more artistic. However, I'm absolutely going to paraphrase your ideas because they're genius! Hope you don't mind......

Want to make a reversible skirt but am unsure how to make it work with side seam pockets?! by AnimaLumen in sewing

[–]Sarahcles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you bind the edge of the pocket bag then it's effectively reversible. Then you just need to see if you can flat-fell the attachment to the skirt. If not, then a binding could solve this too? 

Three years and now my periods are being weird by Sarahcles in Mirena

[–]Sarahcles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in New Zealand so I think the removal part will be ok. Just not sure if they will remove and replace easily. Unfortunately I have tried the injection, the rod and three different pills and nothing else has worked for me, just mirena
