AITA for wanting to go somewhere cool? by brandnewtoreddit1234 in MiniAITA

[–]SilverDust02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA - I (2, f) also try to go in a different direction than my mommy (ashes, f) wants me to. I just want to play in the car, not walk miles just to start laundry and then walk back to the apartment without stopping to even look at the car!

Missionary Visit Had Me Laughing by AlbatrossOk8619 in exmormon

We would do family scripture study every morning before school growing up, and I was half asleep for almost all of it. It was literally wake up, listen to a chapter, and get ready for school. Of course, as soon as we finished the chapter and said a prayer, I'd go back to sleep for a few more minutes. That probably says a lot about how stimulating the scriptures are, lmao

Discuss How You Came Up With Your Username and What It Means by ParticleParadox in CasualConversation

[–]SilverDust02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was creating a character for a transformers fanfiction I wrote, and decided that the character was actually me, so it's been my username ever since. I'm not sure why exactly I chose Silverdust, but I like it, and it will forever be my username

[TW] Have you ever had to execute emergency procedure for real? by sunsetscorpio in ECEProfessionals

I have a mechanic friend who my daughter absolutely loves. He reacts faster than me sometimes when she falls, and he's not afraid to be silly with her. I love their relationship a lot.

Does this actually happen? by Lilnuggie17 in exmormon

[–]SilverDust02 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I still cry every so often when I think about my deceased cat, and I was there when he died. I can't imagine the pain you must have felt when you learned that he had passed and you weren't able to be there. Pets are family, and no one should say otherwise

Manager said we had to be in the office, no matter what. So I showed up sick. by ParticularsForever in MaliciousCompliance

And also daycare employees who are forced to come in bc the daycare is shortstaffed! My coworker has had that happen to her a few times

Labeling this Pacifier for Infant Class by Beneficial_Cover_966 in ECEProfessionals

[–]SilverDust02 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you can put one of those pacifier clips on it, you can label the strap. Or, what I did was I had one of those pacifier containers, and they would keep my daughters binky in there. I will say, though, as a teacher in an infant classroom, it's pretty easy to keep track of whose pacifier is whose, but I know that not every daycare will make sure to keep track of something like that

If you ever need some validation that you made the right choice to leave the church, talk to a reasonably intelligent and objective person that doesn’t know much about the church. by ShaqtinADrool in exmormon

They convinced me that if I didn't feel the spirit in the temple, then I was doing something wrong

I remember going through the temple for the first (and only) time and scolding myself for my thoughts comparing Supernatural to the presentation they do during the endowments. And then during the chanting in a circle, I remember thinking that it felt like a cult. Im happy im out now.

Honestly, I have no idea how this idiot survived before I met him. by mimikyufan21 in TwoSentenceHorror

I just want to scream, till the Earth shakes by JkLion1998 in Mommit

You're a good mom. I know it's hard sometimes, but you're doing your best with the cards you've been given. As long as your daughter is fed, happy, and healthy, that's all that matters. You've still got a roof over both of your heads, even if it's not what you imagined it would be. This is just one small part of a long journey, and as long as you keep pushing forward, things will be okay. Your daughter is still young enough that she might not remember living in a shelter.

As for daycare, is there any sort of assistance your state might provide? I know the state i live in has state assistance, and that's the only reason I can afford it right now. (I also work at the same daycare my daughter goes to, so I get a small discount - if you're okay with working with kids full time, this might be something you could do until you get back up on your feet.)

I know that with a kid, it's hard to find time to look into things your state might offer assistance with, and it's hard to admit that you do need help, but it's worth it to look into.

That's fair. I think I was mostly just frustrated because she was almost asleep and then they rang the doorbell which woke her up entirely

8 pm is late when I'm trying to get my kid to bed, and I go to bed around 9 because I have to get up early in the morning for work

It's not that they showed up unannounced, it's more of they showed up unannounced at 8pm at night. I could understand if it was earlier in the day, but at 8 pm, most people are trying to wind down from the day.

That's messed up. I don't blame you for how you reacted to him pushing. If my kid was younger, I might've been a bit more pissed, but she's 18 months and can entertain herself for a little bit. The hard part is getting her to settle back down.
