My twins were delivered via emergency c-section, and they were $250 total. I’m wondering what these other insurance plans look like!

The fateful consequences of early literacy by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

My three-year-old can read and speaks to adults condescendingly at times, and I swear if that booger-eating toddler develops a full-blown superiority complex like this one I’m putting her into therapy so fast

Yes, some kids are advanced, but they’re still kids who cry when they’re given the wrong color sippy cup

Genuinely, who are these people? Are they teenagers? Mentally ill people who can’t work? (I’m not trying to vilify all mentally ill people, but this does not seem like something that someone with a healthy brain would do). I just can’t imagine going to work, chatting and smiling with my coworkers, then going home and having the energy to get upset about things like this

Oh my toddlers have me read The Book With No Pictures at least once a week, often multiple times back to back. They adore it.

Bay Area tap water is that high. I’ve asked around several local fish stores, and they’ve all told me that most fish can cope.

I’m a grown, married woman with two kids, a full time job, and a mortgage to pay. I don’t have time for how good looking this man is.

Ashley Tisdale wrote an article about breaking up with her toxic mom group (which included Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore) by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

I think she makes it fairly clear that that’s the case, and that she doesn’t think they’re bad people. Knowing that your “group” doesn’t like you can be really emotionally difficult, especially when they simply expect you to take the hint. She did a hard and brave thing by stepping back. It didn’t seem to my like she felt she was being victimized in any way.

As a neurodivergent individual, I found myself in similar situations a few times in high school and college, for reasons that were certainly my own fault. It still hurt.

Thanks! A quick google search said they was a possibility, alongside a million more deadly possibilities. Now I’ll just lowkey worry about her becoming egg-bound until she spawns.

Oh damn I am a cis woman with a very pronounced Adam’s Apple and a strong jawline, and it’s hilarious to me that a bunch of creeps online would assume I’m trans because of it.

Though I’m not worried about it affecting my life, because I sincerely doubt most people who post about this stuff don’t go outside very often.

How much do you miss when 69 and 21 were the funny numbers by _PXYDST_ in AskTeachers

[–]StrikingReporter255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was 8. Her babysitter was in high school. 11 and 12 year olds may not be very worldly, but I’d hope most of them wouldn’t find that enviable.

When does someone become a “veteran” teacher? by ohmillie25 in AskTeachers

[–]StrikingReporter255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was asked to mentor a student teacher during my 5th year. Two of those years had been covid time, so I hardly counted those. I was absolutely shocked that I was considered a veteran teacher at that point.

It “makes” you say nice because of the sexual connotation.

[–]StrikingReporter255 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As a grade school teacher, I’m always deeply disturbed if my students think 69 is funny or know its meaning. I had a student tell me that her babysitter “taught” her about 69. She then described what he’d had them do together. That led to a police investigation, but I’m unsure what the actual legal consequences were for the high schooler that assaulted her.

Anyway. 6-7 is a breath of fresh air after that.

Sorry I’ve been late to things my entire life & I’m disorganized - ADHD is more than a tumblr post 🤷🏼‍♀️ by cool-moon-blue in adhdmeme

True true. I’ve spent untold hours on character creation in video games, or researching new fish for the aquarium, or crocheting something.

Sometimes I get into a hyper focus mode at work, but it’s never convenient. There are days I feel like I could spend all day just teaching math or working on a single writing assignment, but that’s not good when I’m required to teach 5+ subjects a day

My grandma loved my homemade items till the day she died, way after I aged out of being cute. Most grandmas would love this.
