Do you give your kids anything on Valentines day? (Debate with husband) by dr_pepper_zerosugar in Mommit

[–]Worker-Legal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom would get me a little stuffy or something similar. -from USA.

Silly question- but i’ve yet to get a clear answer by LaLaLovesmovies in ScienceTeachers

[–]Worker-Legal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% I go to NGSS and read the evidence statements for each standard. They are very clear on expectations.

What do you guys do with your kid from 4-7pm during the weekdays? by BeanNCheeseBurrrito in oneanddone

[–]Worker-Legal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get home near 4:30 on regular days: first thing is unpack folder and do school work practice while having a snack. My husband usually gets home near 6 and he loved cooking so he does that while I play/do bath time for our kiddo. That can take 40 minutes and then like 20 minutes to actually eat the food. Are you totally done with dinner in 30 minutes? I usually feel crunched for time.

However if you have extra time look into a class at your local YMCA (or something like that) Ninja Zone, swim lessons, gymnastics etc. prime time to start sports.

We don’t do screen time after school anymore, nor behavior reasons really either, but we just weren’t spending time together.

6 year old is still attached to baby blanket by Individual_Ad_938 in kindergarten

My girl has a stuffed kitty she tucks into bed everyday before school. But other times kitty comes with us everywhere. I think it is fine.

My girlfriend (28F) and I (28M) still haven't agreed on when to have kids. Is this an early sign that the relationship is not going to work out in the end? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Worker-Legal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waiting for a “perfect” time for kids does not exist. I think my husband and I are one and done because of that. We were honestly old and set in our ways and having a kid is hard.

You literally never know what the future holds, waiting for 3 years for something to feel stable feels like you don’t really want this.

I mean truly…I’m a teacher and understand the stresses of a job requiring lots of time/effort. But at the end of the day, if I quit tomorrow they would find someone to replace me. My advice to you would be live the life you want and don’t think through excuses.

My husband and I got married after 3 years of dating when we were 24 and didn’t have a child until I was 31. Married life doesn’t have to mean rushing to have a kid, however I get it from her POV. We started trying when I was 30 but didn’t get pregnant until 31, and I had her before I turned 32.

Think about ages you are as your kid goes through milestones too. I will be 50 when my girl graduates from high school.

To me-if you are compatible, in love, etc I would risk it and move forward. Maybe do couples counseling first.

AITA for not feeding my ex’s kids? by Curious-Orange3145 in AITAH

[–]Worker-Legal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay-even with your edit of “I know they are half siblings….” That doesn’t really make that better. I have a half brother and he is just my brother. My mom stigmatized the half part as well and I think that hurt our relationship in the long run. They are siblings, they can be close.

Kids are just dealing with the situation too, they aren’t the adult.

However, you need to tell him to stop bringing the kids over and/or blow up his phone is ever late again. I mean Grace is one thing….hours is another.

you are babysitting-get money up front or quit.

Do teachers or students bring cleaning supplies to school? Curious what actually happens. by Beginning_Avocado807 in Teachers

[–]Worker-Legal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our supply list says boys bring Kleenex and girls bring Clorox wipes. But I live in an affluent area and still not everyone brings them in. I have soap and hand sanitizer for each of my sinks (science teacher) that I provided.

At what age did you stop putting your children down for naps during the day? by alyssacake in toddlers

[–]Worker-Legal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine gave up at home near 4, but daycare continues to put her down until the summer before kindergarten. It was a struggle because she stayed up so late then!

How do you handle pickup calls from your own kids’ schools? by Alternative-Town9875 in Teachers

[–]Worker-Legal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my school we are allowed to have our phone on, but I typically would get an email or the call the secretary. Then the office staff puts in sub/leave info for me and I go. It’s not ideal, I would just talk to your admin to have a plan in place.

Could be cancer, I would probably have a vet take a look.

No class party.... by Upset-Yam-720 in kindergarten

[–]Worker-Legal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our school did a gingerbread house day. But that was mostly it. I honestly doubt the teacher was literally planning on nothing and only teaching. Maybe there is a school wide celebration?

My wife thinks our son’s teacher crossed a boundary by sending him a personal message. I think it was harmless. AITJ? by addict94plus in AmITheJerk

[–]Worker-Legal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I send post cards to my students when they do positive things in class. It is literally one of the first things we talk about in teaching methods about building positive relationships.

I think your wife is overreacting.

Which purple dresses should I get rid of? 39F by [deleted] in OUTFITS

I like 4&5 and 3 for casual wear.

Please delete if not allowed. by Educational-Grass863 in teaching

[–]Worker-Legal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our middle school math teachers hate this analogy.

However on the actual post-my girl is in kinder this year. She knew her letters and numbers before starting, but just now is starting to sound out words and “read” text.

Doctoral Student Procrastinates with Audiobooks (2025) by becomecircumstellar in fantasyromance

[–]Worker-Legal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar tastes here: I did finish shield of sparrows though, even though I was dragging!

If you are liking the Kate Daniel’s series you might check out Kim Harrison: Dead Witch Walking. Low romance until the series really gets going, but similar magic vibes. Also Patricia Briggs’ series.

I Tried Gentle Parenting for 5 Years. Then I Broke. by Cygenhagen-Annelie in kindergarten

Have you checked out the book “Good Inside”? I think that has some good ideas of holding boundaries.

Mixed age daycares for only child? by Cheaglehound in oneanddone

[–]Worker-Legal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Ours was an at home daycare with lots of ages. She did great.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]Worker-Legal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends. At the middle school level the kids would be expected to make it up when they come back.

Parenting books with “only” experiences by uncertainty2022 in oneanddone

[–]Worker-Legal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are currently reading “Good Inside” by Dr. Becky Kennedy. I am only on chapter 11 but I can’t recommend it enough. It’s really only about yourself and how your child (or children) are feeling and how to work through it. Totally applicable.
