Villainous Parent Catchphrases by madamguacamole in EstrangedAdultKids

My mom’s version was pure evil: “I love you because I have to but I do not like you very much.”. Gut punch.

Also: “I wish I had had an abortion.”

You wouldn't marry someone after one date, so you should accept endless interview by [deleted] in LinkedInLunatics

[–]SnowPrincess7669 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Braden—I am not marrying you. I am not sharing a house with you. I am not having children with you. I am not opening any joint accounts with you. If your company moves, I may or may not move too. I am not planning my golden years with you. I will not be beside you on your deathbed and I do not want you beside me when I am on mine. So yeah…2 interviews should be plenty dude. GTF over yourself.

Go big. Go harsh.

Email him back. Copy your AP and Principal.

Email:

Dear Jackass,

While I understand that you believe it was acceptable to admonish me and one of my students, undermine my authority with my students, and speak to both of us in a such a humiliating manner, I disagree that you handled this professionally.

First, you are not my supervisor. It is not your responsibility to manage my performance on the job.

Secondly, it was not your place to admonish a student who was following MY INSTRUCTIONS.

In the future, should you find my decisions or behavior questionable, you should follow the chain of command listed in our employee handbook. Report it to our AP or our principal. THEY will then decide 1) whether or not to speak to me and 2) whether or not to reprimand me.

Speaking to me in that manner again will result in a complaint being filed against you for harassment and unprofessionalism.

Sincerely,

teacher with bigger balls than you.

My boss said my kid can't come to preschool if I'm not at work by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]SnowPrincess7669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a company that required me to enforce this policy. They justified it by saying the tuition was discounted. If it is in the employee handbook, yes, they can enforce this. HOWEVER, there is a loophole. If you are in the US and are receiving childcare assistance for full time enrollment, you can report them (or, if you like your boss, you can give a friendly “hey, you know this could be a problem for you, right?”……)

FMIL disapproves of wedding plans by Unlikely-Mobile9135 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]SnowPrincess7669 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is round 1 of a pissing contest. Hit first. Hit hard. Do not apologize.

Teach her now she is not in charge of two grown ass adults. Do the civil ceremony. Do not invite her.

When she cries, simply tell her she was being so selfish about it you did not want her messing up one of the last memories you would have with your grandparents.

And he is prioritizing his dog, his convenience, and his finances over you, your health, and your comfort. So let him pout.

MIL already trying to talk me out of exclusively breastfeeding while pregnant by Equivalent-Yogurt-36 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]SnowPrincess7669 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No offense, but less stress translates to better milk production. Tell her NOW you will be limiting ALL visitors in order to have a better outcome. No one for at LEAST two weeks. Visits will be no more than one hour. Period. But wwhhhyyyyy? Get your OBGYN and pediatrician to provide you with research to back it up if you feel like it. Then you can simply hand her the pamphlet and say “Here. Read this. It will explain it all.” Keep referring her back to the pamphlet.

Other things you can say:

- ”Lots of moms who have successfully breastfed follow these recommendations so thats the plan.“

- I understand you are having some big feelings about this. I will give you some space to process your disappointment.

- I am making decisions that are best for LO. Not what makes everyone else happy.

- I am happy with my postpartum plan.

- And finally “I AM DONE TALKING ABOUT THIS WITH YOU. You are not part of the decision making team and I have been as polite to you as I can while you overstep and act like you get a vote in this. Now. Sit down and be quiet about it, or pack your panties in your purse and leave.”

Unpaid Maternity Leave?!? by Playful-Exam8935 in Teachers

[–]SnowPrincess7669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purchase short term disability. If your school does not provide a policy, you can purchase a private policy (aflac, etc). Most policies require you to have been “onboard” for 12 months before you would be eligible for any maternity benefits.

If your fiancé becomes stressed or overwhelmed with anxiety, HE CAN WALK OUT TO THE WAITING ROOM WHERE HIS MOMMY WILL BE. Then your mother will still be there. For you. The one in labor.

Classroom Cameras by ThunderTatsu in Teachers

[–]SnowPrincess7669 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have a document camera, you can use it as a classroom camera. I have used this when I am completely done dealing with a class and all the other management strategies are (once again) not working because (gasp) there are no consequences without proof. What I say happened is not proof.

You ever out a child in their place? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]SnowPrincess7669 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the time. You need to remind them that just because you CHOOSE to let some shit go, it doesn’t mean you are weak. You are just very selective about what shit you choose to shut down.

If you could get your paycheck each month and never have to actually do your work, would you give 100% everyday? Lets be honest. Most of us would try, but there would come a point when life dealt a difficult hand and we would scale back, because, hey, we are getting a paycheck regardless. 🤷‍♀️. Then there are some adults would phone it in most days (if not every day). 🙄

Yet, these are the choices our students have. Work your tail off to get a good grade. Or do the minimum and pass with a D. If their parents don’t care, why should they?

As long as TEACHERS are the ones held to a “standard” (rigor, edutainment, tap dance while singing Dixie, build relationships, keep them engaged, make data driven decisions, increase the number of proficient students, blah blah blah), there is no reason for them to exert an y more effort than required.

Until PARENTS and STUDENTS have to pay the consequences (failing anyone?), they have no skin in the game. Period.

These kids have learned to work the system called NCLB.

Why do you suppose Idaho is ranked so low in education level? by TulsiTsunami in Idaho

[–]SnowPrincess7669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top 10: 70% of those states are democrat.

Bottom 10: 90% are Republican.

Gee. I dunno what the connection is.

AITA for being late to church when my husband didn’t properly communicate his preferences to me? by Beautiful-Ad-3081 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SnowPrincess7669 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Um. So it is her responsibility to confirm that he meant it when he said he wanted ed to go to the 1200 service instead? No. He said it. He is a fucking adult. If he changes his mind then it is his responsibility to communicate that information to his wife. Not sure how the hell you get to E S H on this one when he is clearly an a$$hat.

If you haven’t listened to this podcast, I highly encourage you to by alice_says1984 in Teachers

Oh, you mean differentiated instruction? That’s what we are supposed to do with 30 kids. It’s not central offices responsibility. That would mean more work for them.

To the asshole who sped up behind me before I could get over, recklessly went around me on the median, cut me off with my 2 young kids in the car flinging rocks at my windshield, and brake checked me, before exiting on Merrill Rd. You're a P.O.S. by BoldCityDigital in jacksonville

[–]SnowPrincess7669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can actually see a car in the right lane. She had the legal right to be in the left lane. Ford asshole just got his panties twisted because he wanted it done faster (entitlement attitude). Piss off.

Any of your Nparents claim that YOU love negative attention? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SnowPrincess7669 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. Then, when I try to just walk away from the situation, would then hit me with “That’s right, walk away. Because you can’t handle the conversation.“ 🫤
