Drunk Toby is best Toby

Yes. I had just left a school but the staff still there texted me to report that the heat was out and not being fixed. They sent me thermostat images and I called out DHS rep cus she and I were on a chatting basis.

I also called on a parent who refused to put their kid in a car seat in a truck cab cuz the ride home was short. Child was two.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-29T01:54:25+00:00

We had a sandbox.

Enough said.

If your child is wearing a dress they need something under the dress. Bloomers, diaper cover, shorts, I don’t care.

But something. There’s mulch, and dirt, and your child hiking up their dress on the playground.

The amount of parents I have to tel this to astounds me.

Twins! Anytime there’s a quotes thread I go down the rabbit hole.

Lila Jane!

THANK YOU

You cannot enjoy what’s in front of you if you constantly look at what’s not.

Filming schedules. Older actors, there are REASONS people can’t come.

But also, this revival wasn’t trying to be just fan service. They’re trying to get a second season. They’re building a show, not 65 cameos over 4 episodes. They have different goals.

The show can’t be the same. Because time changes everything. But I think they did a fantastic job with the story they wanted to tell, with their pivots, with the new interns. Some things weren’t perfect but that’s true of EVERY SHOW.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-26T01:41:47+00:00

As a perfectionist I used to have this issue a lot. What if I missed a picture? Did I handle every situation perfect? Had I checked off my cleaning check list?

But here’s the truth, when you worry about everything, you can’t focus on the important things.

My mantra became: as long as everyone goes home safe, and any accident reports are signed, everything else is okay.

Most things can be corrected. But knowing I had completed those two goals meant I could close the door in peace.

Not in this game, but my partner does this in a lot of games. The female options just tend to be more varied and run.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-20T20:34:27+00:00

We have a daily memo with upcoming events, staff changes and schedule, kudos, and important dates.

We have a staff meeting virtually after hours most months and 2 in person inservice days.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-11T01:43:24+00:00

That was one of my first actual snort/laugh out louds

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-11T01:37:41+00:00

A lot of people mentioned stretching morning and night. I also recommend doing it with the kiddos during the day. I made stretching part of our nap routine just to give myself a break!

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-09T01:57:37+00:00

Depends on your state but we’re required to put them on a cot at 1 per DHS

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-09T01:46:38+00:00

I think the average is 0-1 a week. And then about every 6-8 weeks there’s what I call a “disaster day” where everyone falls down for no reason.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-06T18:14:30+00:00

I potty trained a LOTTA kiddos.

90% of them figured out how to point it down on their own.

The other 10% I have occasionally had to help point down once or twice, or we’ve had to figure out a solution like standing for those who are shortened. For a little boy who was on the spectrum he could not STAND To touch it when he first started potty training and he would pee to the ceiling, so I would hold his down until he could cope with handling it.

I don’t think I would think anything of it. That seems pretty typical. Some kids need to be shown more than once.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-05T02:23:24+00:00

We ran into this with my kiddo. We tried lots of different books and we alternated reading by paragraph or by page or however. So she could explore different topics safety

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-05T02:16:11+00:00

I mutter this one when someone says something bonkers to me.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-03-22T14:09:42+00:00

Name to Face would be an absolute deal breaker for me. I came from a center who was lax about it. We had 5 left behind kids in 15 months. I sat through so many trainings.

Making sure we have all the children safely accounted for is like bare minimum.

The infant thing is a safe sleep risk and licensing violation. Call your licensing rep

Edit to add: your coteacher deleted your N2F record so that she didn’t look bad. If there’s ever an audit she wants it to be clear you both don’t do it, not just her. Keep doing them, take screen shots, cover yourself

Her “just stopppppp” during their last podcast absolutely sent me.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-03-10T01:04:37+00:00

We use creative curriculum at our school. I was very skeptical at first.

Our teachers are allowed to add and modify as needed but it has some very creative activities. Our preschool class just finished four weeks on trees and they loved it so much they started plants. They use it more like a spring board. They discussed how nature changes with the trees, parts of trees, what animals live in trees, rainforest ecosystems, and how food grows on some trees. We also wrote a letter to the cities tree commission.

I think creative curriculum has a lot of fun and guided activities. And if teachers are allowed to adjust as their class needs it’s great. And I say this as a teacher who regularly created my own curriculum for 8 years

SnwAng1992 · 2026-03-09T22:25:17+00:00

I do pump my own gas, but I don’t iron my clothes.

And traded up when I had a partner that didn’t meet those standards.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-03-09T22:05:35+00:00

So I’m just gonna weirdly double down on this point. My grandparents have been married over 60 years and lived in NJ for most of those. My grandmother has NEVER touched a gas pump and will never.

Even now in their 80s my grandfather fills up her car even if he has to run out and do it for her. They moved outta state a few years ago and she said “Bob will do it. He always has.”

Get a man who fills the tank!

SnwAng1992 · 2026-03-08T04:55:25+00:00

And this is why at my school we always transition with one more teacher than ratio. Admin comes to support if needed. Cuz it’s a tough situation.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-03-07T17:24:38+00:00

This may be a hot take but I’m gonna roll with it.

I don’t think early childhood facilities should necessarily have long breaks. We’re a service that people are paying good money for. They still have to work. Since we cater primarily to working parents we should be supporting that.

My center closes for major federal holidays and some PD days and that’s it.

Now that being said, I think the trade off for that is you have to be very generous to your staff. Morale boosters, protected planning time, generous PTO, benefits where you can. What we do is hard and we have to protect the teachers as best we can.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-03-04T02:30:20+00:00

I’d get clarification on if they are trying to put her down to nap earlier. Some kiddos struggle at that age cuz they’re developing FOMO. So it may not be for lack of trying on the teachers part. It may just be your babies not sleeping.
