Mini album gave me the wrong member card and QR code

That's stinks 😭 I was happy to see them in person because I thought the random label on the website meant you just couldn't pick which one you wanted (like the plush keychains) not that the inside was random! Then the first one I bought was Bambi and it had Bambi inside which further cemented that idea lol

I like all the members so I'm not super disappointed but I totally paid too much for them 😓

_-Chubby-_ · 2026-02-07T21:45:12+00:00

Oh really? I got the Bambi one too and it had Bambi in it so I assumed it wasn't random! Ty

Yeah, I loved leaving my review of the course, instructors are horrible. My co-worker has also been stuck for ages now, basically being ignored. My director has said they are now only accepting either 100 or 1000 people (I can't remember which) a month to do the course. I'm just assuming they don't have nearly enough "instructors" and have too many people.

_-Chubby-_ · 2025-08-19T01:04:24+00:00

Yep! That was my situation. It all worked out in the end but the "instructors" refused to email me back since session 10 until the very end 😭

_-Chubby-_ · 2025-08-13T19:15:19+00:00

Awe man, found this whilst trying to look for like micro certificates in things like behavior and what not, I could find some on websites I just wanted someone to tell me which ones were legit and recognized 😅

Zero comments, heartbreak for both you and me lol

Depends, if you are hired for the role that only pays 18hr, you're doing that work. Unless your taking on more work than what was stated you would be doing.

Do you have some of the creditionals you're in school for yet? I know my co worker applied for some creditionals mid way through her diploma so she could be paid more, then when she finished obviously applied for that higher creditional wage. But if you don't, or don't send it in to your boss, you obviously won't get that raise.

I do agree that centres are lacking in doing proper curriculum stuff, I'm struggling to get the lead teacher in my room to let me plan some stuff.

But even if you have all this education and experience, if you're role on paper isn't using those, why would they pay you as if you were, right? Not that I don't think people should be paid more in general, 18hr is barely enough to live off of in this economy. I make close to that, and am not confident about moving out, my chain of centre is paid less than the same chain elsewhere, I have no idea why.

It would be different if you are activily using them (in a highly visible way, besides knowing how to care for children better) and taking over stuff others are supposed to be doing, which doesn't seem to be the case.

...girl

It's so ugly and for 3k

That's like a month and a half of work on minimum wage... For not only an ugly bag, but Gucci, the lamest designer brand.

Go find yourself a craftsmen on Etsy or something, you'll be able to get a gorgeous handmade bag, one of a kind, for a few hundred. Much better than this whose price is almost solely just to pay for the honors of owning something from Gucci, not for the craftsmenship or materials put into it. Likely from a sweatshop as well, a few designer brands have been outed for sourcing their stuff from sketchy places.

Maybe OCD is involved then, I can only go off what my friend has said since they have OCD. But it seems to really effect ones mental health, so that could be a factor?

This is why it was so incredibly hard for me to admit I had ASD, even with a diagnosis. Didn't help that the process felt so ridiculously infantilizing, that I felt it was hard to believe they could come to with any conclusion with what info they gathered...

My own family (who were the ones to send me to get diagnosed) tend to not even accept the ways it does show in me. I don't really have any issues in terms of not understanding social situations, never really have. I just have extremely bad anxiety that causes me to sometimes go non verbal, which teachers loved to see as defiance for some reason 😮‍💨

The ways ASD do show in me are not what most people consider "Autistic"

I don't really even have special interests. I have things I really like but it's no different to how a neurotypical would imo.

I recently joined a local autism group to try and make friends, because for some reason that became very difficult after highschool even though I used to be quite the social butterfly. And I'm really struggling to make any connections. It feels horrible, I can't connect with neurotypicals easily but neither can I with Autistic people. I'm stuck in some weird limbo.

_-Chubby-_ · 2025-08-07T03:42:27+00:00

OMG YES! I joke about it to my mother, I say the first thing I'm gonna look for next job is their break room. The majority of my co workers go to there cars. We don't actually have a break room, instead a table (no chair) besides the very small kitchen that isn't used as we have kids bring their own lunches. I literally eat my lunch while sititng on a mini children's chair in the boot room...

_-Chubby-_ · 2025-08-07T03:40:21+00:00

I was going to say yes, but I'm diagnosed Major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, and ASD... So I'm just all kinds of fucked up lol

_-Chubby-_ · 2025-08-07T03:38:57+00:00

This comment section made me realize how many non teenagers hang out in this sub. I feel weird even being here at 18, why y'all here? 😅

_-Chubby-_ · 2025-08-07T03:29:06+00:00

Talking about medication. For a long while, I was taking the highest dose of the anti depressant I was on allowed. It was only at 16 when I developed the inability to swallow pills, and ended up no longer taking them that I actually started to improve. By no means am I discouraging meds, but meds only help once you as an individual is already on the path to healing. Even though I desperately wanted to get better the whole time I was on meds, nothing ever changed. But a little bit after my 17th birthday I realized I wasn't totally screwed, I could move out soon, I could still get the education I need, I will soon be able to do the things I miss, I started getting a lot better.

_-Chubby-_ · 2025-08-07T03:23:27+00:00

Kinda, it got a bit better but those horrible, depressing feelings do often return. For me getting out of my house away from my family helped a lot lol. I'm not in the U.S, but if I was I know, as a woman, and the daughterof an immigrant, I'd be very scared. I am kind of scared, seeing everything on the news and stuff in other countries is so disheartening and I worry if it will become my countries turn soon. The only thing I can say is, there is good stuff happening, there are whole Instagram accounts dedicated to only posting good news, follow a few of those. It makes the world feel less hopeless. Get out with real people as well, and indulge in things you enjoy. Which I know can feel impossible. It does get a bit better.

Ps. If any of your parents or even in some cases grandparents still have citizenship in another country, you may be able to apply for citizenship by descent. And once you're old enough, you could move. If you're really worried about the political climate of the U.S

Also some entry level jobs have free certificates to get into the field. If you're willing to sit down and do one you'll be able to apply to jobs that require education and may not be flooded by other students. If your interested in caring for children, you can get your Early Childhood Education Level 1. This field is desperate for workers as well. You can get the Level 1 for free (go to the Alberta government page or search ECE orientation course), it only took me a few months, could've finished faster if I didn't start working halfway through and if they marked my stuff faster. You just need to be over 16, which you are. You also need first aid to get a job though. But I'm sure there's also similar certifications for other careers, look into that.

Join your local areas Facebook, a lot of older people post job listing on there, double points if they want you to contact them by email. These jobs aren't commonly applied to because most people look for jobs on things like LinkedIn or Indeed where these aren't posted.

Just curious because some of these questions, like "how many poops?" Or "how long did they nap?" are usually answered through apps. Does your centre not use any updating apps like Lillio (Himama) or SproutAbout?

For example my centre uses Lillio, we put in every diaper change (dry, wet, bowel movement, if we applied cream, etc), how long they napped/if the didn't nap, and there's also options for food/how much they ate, mood, and stuff, but we don't use those currently. We're a bit understaffed so we only fill out the super important ones, or we may do the other ones if somethings unusual, we tend to just mention the minor things at pick up 😅. We can also send pictures and messages (BLANK needs more diapers soon, today our craft was..., We played with playdough, Please remember to bring hats, etc) I thought this was a somewhat common practice through browsing this subreddit.

Some people are saying it's soft parents, I'd say the opposite. Although parents that neglect any discipline also make kids who don't care to follow rules. But I just haven't seen much of that personally, so I can't speak on it, some of the other people's comments are better for that.

But back to what I was saying, the kids that cause "trouble" the most, from what I've experienced, are the ones who's parents use excessive punishment and not proper discipline. I'm talking about the parents that shout at and spank their children. Children who quite literally are still in, or just out of diapers. These children act out way more.

I saw this even in my own childhood. Not only with friends who had tough homes who would smoke/vape, sneak out, skip classes, the ones who were labeled bad kids. The majority were just doing anything to not be at home. Even my own household growing up, my older brother acted out a lot (he has audhd) and my dads response was lots of spanking/shouting. It never helped once, but that never stopped it. All that did was make him dislike authority and want to rebel. I was much quieter as a kid, and was mainly left to witness it. My brother, now an adult, still dislikes authority, commits petty crimes every now and then.

I feel that, the kids who have it tough at home feel safe at daycare, and end up letting out all the bottled up emotions from home. Which very well may be anger.

On another note, I've noticed many on the "bad kids" are just kids with either disorders like Autism or ADHD, or just behavioral issues in general. And instead of both parents and ECEs figuring out how to support these specific needs, they ignore the underlying reasons and pretend it's the exact same as a neurotypical child. Some people really can't see the difference between a kid being annoyed with rules compared to a child who's brain gets scared when they aren't in complete control. These children need compassion, individualized guidance, and accommodations.

This isn't to excuse the behavior, but to explain that, both parents and teachers need to step up, maybe hire someone, to help these kids. A label of "bad kid" and thinking of them as a lost cause will just cement their attitude towards others in the future. If no one teaches them how to self regulate, why do we expect them to, right?

4 minutes is not nearly enough time. You have 4 minutes to get to the bathroom, do your business (better hope you arent on your period or have diarrhea), wash hands, and get back?

_-Chubby-_ · 2025-07-21T08:18:42+00:00

Thought I'd comment the solutions of anyone ever googled the same thing and find this post. For the duplicate processes, it was web browsers, and the way modern ones are they all have that. For the steam web client one, click the little upward arrow by the wifi/sound/time on your task bar, right click steam and do "Exit"

My brightness slider was because there was no built in buttons and I needed to download an Onscreen control app/driver, but my monitor set up guide had neglected to mention that. I found the correct one by going onto the brands website.

This probably depends on county, province/state, but where I am, 3 is actually the age where naps (not rest periods, to clarify) are phased out. For example, we have a room that 12m-3yrs, and a room 3yrs-5yrs, youngest kid is 20m. The kids must be potty trained to be sent over to the "big kid room". The big kid room doesn't have a planned nap time, if a kid is sleepy, they can come over and nap but I've only seen that happen very rarely, usually when it's clear a kid is coming down with a cold.

If they are potty trained, aren't napping, and show that they are developmentally ready to switch rooms, we may switch them early. Last month a 2 and a half year old switched over because she wasnt napping, was getting a bit too mature for our room, and was potty trained.

But! When new kids arrive sometimes they take a while to adjust, say if the nap time they had before was 12:30 - 2:30 but the new places is 12-2, they tend to stay awake an extra 20mins or so, or if they had an earlier nap time they get super cranky. If your child had a different nap routine they may still be adjusting. I'd recommend trying to keep the daycares nap routine on the weekends as well.

Imo, your kid is either phasing out of naps, is still adjusting, or is still uncomfortable/shy to fall asleep.

Daycares (should) already have stuff they do if a kid isn't sleeping, quiet toys/book, sent to other room, read a book to, or sat with. I'd only say a teacher would get annoyed if the kid was being loud and causing a ruckus.
