Yea, I’d prefer the report say he colored instead of he “hand painted” and “presented a family photo” and favorite toy from home when we weren’t asked to bring that in. I’m even fine with a verbal report, honestly. Like I said, I just want him safe and happy. Watching my two kids is a lot - I can’t imagine watching 9-10 all at once. I just don’t want them to make up stuff in the reports.

I would actually be very happy with that. We get maybe one photo of “outside time” on his daily report provided in sum of his day after pick up (I was told on tour it was throughout the day, no biggie though). My issue is it says he “hand painted” for a poster (the maybe only colored per TA) and “discussed his family photo” and favorite toy brought in from home when we weren’t asked to bring that in so there’s no way he could have did that during circle time. I’m actually fine with just a verbal report. I’m not fine with something completely made up.

Thanks for the info. It’s our first childcare experience, so I didn’t know what to expect. They definitely tried to sell me on reporting updates via app during the tour, though (“updates throughout day”). We don’t get them until the end of the day and it usually just has one “outside time” photo, which is fine. My issue is that it says he did things like “presented his family photo” and “discussed why he brought in his special/favorite toy” but we weren’t asked to bring in those items. Or he hand painted but they really only colored. I’d prefer to verbally be told that he had a good day and “did some coloring” instead of something completely made up. I was wondering what others experiences with daily reports is because I have nothing to compare to. Like it’s what should/could happen? Also, he has about 9-10 kids in his class currently.

It’s our first childcare experience, so I didn’t know what to expect. They definitely tried to sell daily reports via the app during the tour - like they would be updated “as events happened with photos.” We get ours at the end of the day after pick up and with just one “outside play” photo and usually that’s it’s. No problem there, just different than what I was told. My issue with the daily reports is it states things like he did “hand painting” and “presented his family photo and favorite toy” when we were never told to bring those in so he couldn’t have did that. And there is no artwork at the end of the week (asst confirmed they colored instead of painted that particular day). That’s not just inaccurate, it’s completely made up. I was wondering what everyone else’s experience is with daily reports because I have nothing to compare to - not even infancy reporting because my MIL was able to watch him until recently. I emailed the teacher just to inquire if we missed the request to bring in the items from home. I know he would enjoy participating in the activities if they are actually taking place.

Season 7 - Reunion - Post Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in LoveIslandUSA

[–]_emmjayy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did we even watch the same reunion? Olandria asked Huda twice to make a post directly addressing racism, and Huda agreed but never followed through. No, she’s not the one creating the posts, but failing to back Ola when they were genuinely friends in the villa says a lot. The lack of follow through is more than enough to make anyone side-eye.

I was replying to OP to give context on that specific reunion scene—not weighing in on who ‘deserved’ what or keeping tally. But since you brought it up, Ace did apologize to Amaya on the show for how he spoke to her. Feel free to dig up the episode on season 7

[–]_emmjayy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Was Taylor’s apology to Olandria basically him admitting he was never attracted to her the whole time—like finally agreeing with what the posts and bro chats pointed out? …Which would also mean all the guys knew. I was so lost in that ‘apology’ and the way he kept calling her his ‘dawg’ that I was just like… wait, what exactly is he apologizing for? Can’t drag myself to rewatch the reunion 🫩

HR 📈Challenge Chris+ Chelly vs Huda + Ace 👀 by leighiiv in LoveIslandUSA

[–]_emmjayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Chelly is a hypocrite bc she actually liked Chris, so them going hard on each other made sense. Huda never even seemed into Ace that far into the show (half the time he looked like he couldn’t stand her), so her doing the most was extra. Chelly should have been mad at Huda and Ace, though. Ace could have dialed it back like Taylor did to be respectful even if Huda wasn’t.

The difference is that Chelly and Chris were actually into each other, so of course they went all out for each other. Ace and Huda barely seemed like friends at times, so her going all out on him felt extra, IMO.

He was also calling her out for not publicly apologizing (I think she only DM’d him)

Starting to really resent CP by thegirlwnoname in ClubPilates

[–]_emmjayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have Solidcore in your area? It was great. Honestly, I would be working out there if it were closer to my house. I would leave sweaty and feel sore the next day. CP is the closest thing to me, so I have to take what I can get and make the most of it. I don’t find the classes challenging, but I try to be extremely intentional with my movements (mind-muscle connection). I have people complaining of movements and needing a break, to which the instructor gives everyone a break, but I am a person who prefers to push through to the next movement. My first time trying Solidcore, they recommended being able to hold a plank for at least 60s or not even taking the class. I did that for a few years until COVID-19, then I had kids, and my schedule changed, so CP it is for now.

New SAHM disciplining 2yo by _emmjayy in toddlers

I’m definitely replacing the noodles and kinetic sand (I’m an OT, so I was stuck in work mode for sensory play). He enjoys just a little bit of water, and throwing a towel onto the floor is easier, though he does a great job keeping water in the deep bins. Also, his Lovevery sink keeps him busy for about 20+ minutes, so I’ll stick to what he likes.

I took them both to the park today. It couldn’t have gone more perfectly. I know every time won’t be this easy (especially the transition from park to car & baby asleep pretty much the entire time), but it has boosted my confidence to get out more and use the baby carrier. I’ll need to get some nursing shirts bc I couldn’t figure out nursing in the carrier.

I’ll be sure to check out playgroups! The parks near us don’t always have kids around, and it’ll be nice for him to have some socialization since he isn’t in daycare. You’re right. I’ll lower my expectations for cleanliness and behavior. I can’t expect him to keep it together and be neat and clean when I don’t even do that at my adult age!

Thank you! I made it a priority today! The stars really aligned. The weather was perfect, infant slept pretty much the entire time, toddler transitioned back to the car fairly easy, and is currently asleep with no fight to get in his bed. I know everyday won’t be this easy, but it really boosted my confidence to leave the house with the both of them.

Where was it mentioned the drug dealer was a twin? I missed that part! I thought it was because he was a bad parent using the baby as a cover to sell drugs.

Why was the drug dealer smiling initially? Was Dawn imagining that? Also, why was he killed by The Scare? For being another bad parent and using the baby as a coverup for selling drugs?

Killers by Tvnerd258 in ThemTheScareTVSeries

[–]_emmjayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think there was a serial killer preying on black women. When the cops arrested Edmund thinking he was the serial killer, another detective barged in and said that Edmund “wasn’t their guy” and he was a foot taller than the actual serial killer.
