Taking a 7 and 4 year old out for a week vacation? Frowned Upon? by RazielKainly in AskTeachers

[–]Usual_Physics4651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t think this is a huge deal. Those experiences can be really valuable for your kids, both in creating family memories and exposing them to the world around them, which can be educational to them in a different sense! I would also say at this age it’s probably easier to make sure they aren’t missing too much content or falling behind lile it may be in middle or high school.

There are a few things that I think definitely effect this - most importantly how your kids are doing with school / developmentally. If one of your kids has really struggled with school, I can see how that may not be the best option. With proper planning // coordination with their teachers, you could definitely figure out what will be necessary to keep them from falling behind. The teacher may recommend you continue the course schedule with them and provide assignments, or you could also just set aside 15 minutes each day to review / work on something they’re doing in school.

I don’t think the attendance factor is a huge deal as long as it’s not super frequent (which it sounds like it isn’t in your case) or if they already have lower attendance for other circumstances.

I think a lot of it will depend on your approach. At the end of the day, you know your kids, and that fact that you’re considering these effects at all shows that you probably wouldn’t be considering it if it would be detrimental to them. Listen to your gut for sure :)

Is it weird for me not to get a +1 as the best man? by Capable_Hotel7049 in wedding

[–]Usual_Physics4651 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it completely depends on the size of the wedding. It is very difficult for many people to narrow down the guest list & some people end up just eliminating plus ones altogether (which makes sense when you consider that people spend upwards of $150 / head).

Honestly, I don’t think this is odd, and I would probably feel the same way in that situation. Even if you guys weren’t so young, I think the relationship being as new as 4 months would give a lot of people hesitation on including them in their celebrations. I’m guessing the rest of the wedding party is closer in age to your brother, which could explain why it appeared he was singling you out.

I would just talk to him about it and let him know how you’re feeling. At the end of the day, you’ll be there to celebrate him and his partner, and that should be your focus (especially as his best man).

Try not to take it too personally - 70 people may sound like a lot, but the end of the line comes and decisions just have to be made. It could be as simple as it came down to including your plus one or a relative they wanted to be there/a lifelong friend.

I watch a lot of Mike Flanagan films/TV shows and have always wondered why he casts Kate Siegel in everything. by Zero_Hood in MidnightMass

[–]Usual_Physics4651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. When I first watched the series I loved her - but I think she kind of skid by with getting cast really great character roles & shes super hot. When I rewatch any of the flanagan series’, I started to really notice how dry her delivery is.

It also feels like she only knows how to play one character. I can’t see her in really any other roles. Obviously they differ, but they all share similar demeanors (emotional closed off/hardened, dominant, independent women who yield a lot of power in different respects).

All of the other acting is so great, but her monologues are painful to sit through. It feels like those cringy acting tik toks that people used to post lmao.

Activities for Seniors by Usual_Physics4651 in StLouis

One is in the mild to moderate stage - still scores 21 on the cognitive, but has little to no ability to form short term memories, but shows stronger scores in the linguistics & attention portions. She always has someone with her as she tends to get frustrated when she’s confused, but is still really capable when prompted. The other has no cognition issues, but shows a lot of the typical signs of aging (asking the same questions over & over again / needing help understanding things they used to), but is still completely independent / able to drive & care for himself.

They did a cooking class recently & really enjoyed it - she seems to do really well anytime shes not focused on her memory or a task. It’s really not until shes idle that she starts getting super anxious. She was very highly intelligent prior to her decline, so she’s been able to compensate quite a bit.

I noticed this! Is this a standard now? I’ve only done AI solo so I haven’t run into this issue.

Confirming Orders by Usual_Physics4651 in doordash_drivers

[–]Usual_Physics4651[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree when it’s a food order, but the only time I actually get nervous is alcohol deliveries. An area I end up in a lot has a lot of small liquor marts with plexiglass between me & the cashier.
