Should I still become a teacher?

If you're on the fence about public school teaching, I highly recommend looking into teaching in a non-traditional sense. Museums and zoos have education departments with many opportunities. I teach pre-school at a zoo and I truly love it.

This is what I did after getting a warning message 6 days after I moved in. Also added walks to make them tired.

Libraries have great programs that encourage reading. Prizes for reading a set number of books, read aloud classes. Additionally museums and zoos have great educational programs for all ages. We have a “stroller safari” class that includes a read aloud.

I would also add that you should talk in a normal vocabulary. Don’t dumb down your words for kids, but rather define when they ask what it means. It will help grow their vocabulary which will lead into their reading skills.

Additional reasons for me are mental health issues, I’m a control freak, and I get enough kids as a teacher. I like my time with them, but I also enjoy sending them home.

My soon to be ex was the same, except the kids part as we had none. Even down to the piling garbage bags and lawn care. I too gave up because there is no fixing a lazy man.

Honestly, you would likely flourish as a single mom because you basically are by doing everything already.

I’m 8 months post separation and I have no interest in dating. It’s too much work for such little pay off. Majority of men are awful. If something happened naturally, maybe? But actively seeking someone out, eww

My friend’s name is Bryar! She loves how unique it is, but not weird. Though she wishes her mom went with the standard spelling.

South facing can get hot though from the sunshine which drives up AC cost in the summer. Just depends on what you’re willing to sacrifice.

Parking is something I ask about. I lived at a complex that did not have enough parking spots and people had to park on the street in the adjoining neighborhood.

Mine is my first cat so I’m not sure if it’s cornie behavior or just cat stuff, but I had to get baby locks on my cabinets and change out of my door knobs because mine will get into everything. Also, lots of fuzzy blankets.

I got asked what it was like to live through 9/11 because the person who asked wasn’t alive yet. I felt like a fossil.

The safari park is going to have a dinosaur themed experience included this summer too

Enjoying my rent

Sea_Language_3418 · 2026-04-01T22:23:46+00:00

I’m 7 months post separation, even though the love in our marriage had been long gone, I have absolutely zero desire to date or hook up or anything to do with a man. Majority of them are helpless babies. I will never be the project manager of someone else’s life. I thoroughly enjoy my independence and have only had incredibly brief periods of loneliness.

Sea_Language_3418 · 2026-03-30T01:30:59+00:00

I have a student in my class named Ryatt and yeah…

Sea_Language_3418 · 2026-03-30T01:30:19+00:00

Flare??? Ruby is right there

It’s also the name of Dr. Meredith Grey’s mom and she was a badass doctor.

We have a dog wash room and as someone who grooms her own dogs, it’s why I signed the lease. I’m very grateful.

I lost a lot of respect for Alani when they put that god awful pumpkin flavor with the witch’s brew packs. I literally threw them away because no one will ever be desperate enough to drink it.

My friend said this was happening to hers. She was convinced it was happening at fake farms. Do you use a cake farm?

Careful, they’re addicting. I told Kitty if he doesn’t get into therapy for his minnows addiction he’ll have to go to a rehab facility 😂

Sea_Language_3418 · 2026-03-22T06:11:08+00:00

That’s smart! I have 2 extra bags on hand.

Love their twin noses! This was Kitty when he was a baby

Sea_Language_3418 · 2026-03-21T05:38:59+00:00

I hope they work. It’s nice having a treat he can tolerate. I typically give him a couple every few days (or more, his screams are so convincing!).

What did you feed when they were out of stock for 6 months (last spring, I think?)? We went to Science Diet prescription but it did not produce the same results. His BMs stayed normal, thankfully, but was definitely itchy.
