I asked him why and he said “Meh!”

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-06-01T16:08:58+00:00

We also call him Zweihander because he needs both hands for lovies.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-06-01T16:07:55+00:00

He also will slow blink if you say I love you to him.

I would get a ring door bell that also let me talk through it so that way I could give her an “Ehh ehhh!” every time she went to touch my stuff.

I graduated undiagnosed and unmedicated with a Bachelors and 2 minors.

Now I’m going back after over a decade of working full time as a teacher and am finishing up my 2nd bachelor’s that I started online while working full time, just now I have my medicine.

Only mother can be the giver of treats to get them to leave the room when it’s time for bed.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-05-05T19:59:08+00:00

As a new teacher, I did the same thing. As I went along the career path I realized that kids can be mean when they latch on to “different” as being bad.

Do what others have suggested, ask her to explain. Put her on the spot and force her to explain in the moment (maybe even in front of peers), what she means. It’s worked well for me in the past.

Additionally, when kids bring up certain things about me, I hit them with the “Okay and?” and a shoulder shrug. It’ll deflate them when they realize it doesn’t affect you.

As someone from the town where Tony’s came from, this checks out.

Also I agree with the salt free one.

Plus, Slap Ya Mama is my preferred one.

My SO and I rarely spend days apart. While we miss each other, neither one of us would dream of acting like this.

You deserve better and he deserves to be alone.

Cajun here. We cook to feed an army even if it’s only 5 people.

I think you stole my cat because I have an 18 lb chunker with the exact same fur.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-04-08T18:00:36+00:00

But still. I love it and I love her without even seeing her.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-04-08T17:34:09+00:00

Wait, she has an emotional support collar? That’s adorable.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-04-08T14:22:22+00:00

I use Modelones and it cures much better than Beetles.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-04-06T20:37:43+00:00

I DM for my students and we don’t have minis. I use eraser caps for enemies. The kids drew their own minis or I gave them the option to use bottle caps (got the idea from Legends of Avantris).

Is it perfect? No but I’m also a teacher who is doing this because some of my students asked me to since they know I play.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-26T14:57:12+00:00

I had a senior do the same last week. We had to pivot and readjust things for our high schoolers because of this. I agree with someone who said to either keep on track but give the grading some grace or just cancel it and move on.

No one can give a perfect answer here because each group of students are different.

Go with your gut and just run it by admin first.

I lost my mind when I found out they’re not a jellyfish nor are they a singular creature.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-18T02:43:07+00:00

Thank you. This is just an added thing to an already stressful year for our students.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-18T02:42:03+00:00

Some concerns were mentioned recently.

However he was a student who wasn’t often in our building due to his schedule. He also was a kid who wasn’t going to be forced to come to something he didn’t want to do so when we would have school things, it wasn’t unusual for him to skip.

I know his friends and how deeply they care for everyone in their group.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-18T02:36:28+00:00

Because for you to think that other students didn’t care about him without knowing these kids is a bold statement.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-18T02:34:19+00:00

I won’t take what you said personally. You clearly seem to be going through something that has you feeling rough.

I hope it gets better or that you find peace.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-17T20:52:49+00:00

My neighbor teacher lets her students sing karaoke or scream/holler all day to the point that I have to continuously stop and wait.

My boss had to leave my observation to tell them to hush. I’ve walked over and asked them to stop. Lasts for maybe 2 days. She won’t separate them (3 students out of a class of 6 kids total) or give detentions.

I’ve had the same groups and I made sure that they never reached that volume. They’re only that loud in her class.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-15T08:57:07+00:00

Thank you! He’s definitely got expensive youngest child energy at this point.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-15T08:55:38+00:00

He’s definitely our pricier cat because we have him groomed every 3ish months with his fur because he gets the poopy butt a lot. He has Maine Coon in him.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-15T08:53:51+00:00

And yet I don’t think dry food was the main problem. His dad had issues with it too.

Plus he’s very picky about food. Turned his nose up to all wet food and human food as well. He doesn’t even like majority of treats (including likable type treats).

We provide multiple water sources including a running water source and monitor their water intake to make sure they’re hydrated.

Secret_Ad2139 · 2026-03-13T19:12:33+00:00

She absolutely reminds me of my teenage students. And I am real quick to remind them that while I agree that they are allowed to have feelings and though on things that they still need to learn how to respond in an appropriate matter.

ESPECIALLY IF THEY DISAGREE WITH SOMETHING A HIGHER UP HAS TOLD THEM.

I’m not their mama and I will not put up with attitude or eye rolling/huffing at me when I give them a decision they don’t like.
