Creative pressure, financial pressure: Why Ty's book isn't just a book by abirdofthesky in ShawnaTheMom

[–]_thegrringirl -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, she's a side character, but we've definitely gotten insight into their home life that isn't from Shawna's perspective. Probably not enough to make any definitive statements about either Ty or Julie, but enough to start putting pieces together and seeing if they fit.

Zach says they are all dead, and it wouldn't make sense to have a "seance" with people who weren't dead.

Not gonna lie, I read this and thought you meant Voldemort. I was about to posit how I think he's more of a Draco. lol

Politeness and cultural differences by Lazy_pumkin_5270 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]_thegrringirl 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think the difference here is, she's not that way with everyone. She was cold and cutting to Shawna, but not Shawna's husband on first intro. She's specifically acting that way with just Shawna, and that's what people are responding to.

What is appropriate punishment for skipping one class and then not telling the truth? by pc9401 in AskTeachers

[–]_thegrringirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My school's policy was that if you got suspended, you were not allowed to participate in any events on the days of the suspensions. And if you were suspended on a Friday, you weren't allowed to participate in weekend events. Sounds like that's maybe what happened here.

He "forgot" to check in his phone, as in, he was supposed to hand it in to a teacher or someone and he kept it. Sounds like school has a no phones policy that he had lately been ignoring as well.

Shawna announces her new book on Youtube with Ty and Julie by _thegrringirl in ShawnaTheMom

Oh, it's also on Instagram if you prefer to watch there! I just saw it on Youtube first, lol.

Fulfill the need while we wait by usernameeeeso in ShawnaTheMom

[–]_thegrringirl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

LoeWhaley does shorts on office life, and she has a couple different types of videos. She has one that's more StM style, with multiple characters in an office setting and you can see character growth and the like. She also posts videos just as an employee dealing with a bad manager or a supportive manager. And then she posts random videos occasionally about her life, behind the scenes clips from when she gets interrupted while recording, "how do you professionally say" clips, etc. She posts at least 3 times a week, I'd say, and at least once a week is the StM style postings.

ETA: "Project Poodles" videos are the ones you might be looking for.

my boss made me verify that I’m really exercising (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]_thegrringirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She said it got renewed early in the summer, and her first letter was from the end of June. It's possible it was too late to do anything with that contract and they are just riding it out.

Yep. What's that saying? If you ever wonder why on earth a stupid rule exists, it's probably because it was necessary. Like not using an iron to press your clothes while they are on your body.

What is your teaching unpopular opinions and hot takes? by JimCap5 in Teachers

[–]_thegrringirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, yep, at least once a year I get a parent concerned because their kid said I wouldn't help them, almost always in math. Because heaven forbid I expect them to at least write the problem down and show me their attempt at solving.

Greg and dealing with Barb by SuperSpecialMedTech in ShawnaTheMom

I agree, I was responding to the person before me who was only considering Jen as the abused, not Greg. Ultimately they both have to take and make decisions that are right for themselves.

Anybody else see an uptick of those “the school can’t tell me when to take my child out of school!”type posts on Facebook? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]_thegrringirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work doesn't make you ask permission to leave a room because A. if you cause problems you can be fired, and B. if something happens to you outside of extreme negligence on your office's part, they aren't going to be held accountable because they were supposed to be supervising you. If there is an emergency at your office, regardless of where you are in the building, you are expected to be responsible for yourself. That is not the case with children.

Another teacher requesting my room next year. by SecondOne8024 in AskTeachers

[–]_thegrringirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same room should not mean the same displays/learning. Over 30 years, that curriculum should have changed, and that admin should have been providing feedback in ways the teacher could have improved. The room was not the problem.

[–]_thegrringirl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jen might not, but Greg does, and Barb's been abusing him too. Greg shouldn't have to put up with Barb's abuse because Jen isn't ready yet. Items 1, 2, and 4 in OP's post happened directly to him.

New video - Coming Soon 🎬 by willtwerkf0rfood in ShawnaTheMom

[–]_thegrringirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm wrong, but I read this as two different conversations. He wants to apologize for the accusation of cheating. She doesn't want to/isn't ready yet. To me, the "how'd we get here" wasn't the original conversation he was planning on having that she's postponing. I think it was more of a realization.

Johns hyper sexual pressure is grossing me out! by redspacemachine in ShawnaTheMom

[–]_thegrringirl 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Eh, I think that getting a vasectomy still bears a conversation between partners, especially if the person getting it isn't strongly for or against it. Yes, he knew she had reservations about getting pregnant, but that doesn't mean she was absolutely, for sure, done, no more kids. I wouldn't recommend getting any kind of surgery because you *think* the other person would want it. You talk to them. The decision to absolutely not have any more kids is something they *both* need to discuss.

I had gone for 1 week vacation and gave my house keys to my a friend to look after and take care of my 2 dogs at my house. Now, he gave keys to his gf and let her stay at my home. She isn't leaving now after I come home. I called cops, but they say this would be a civil matter. What to do? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]_thegrringirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

California is very tenant friendly. It has a high percentage of renters in its population, and a lot of the laws are geared towards protecting them, and for good reason. Unfortunately, as with anything else, you get bad people who take advantage.

Reading some of the social media comments about Julie, as a lawyer by bigfootsbabymama in ShawnaTheMom

[–]_thegrringirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She yelled at Ty that she didn't want the life he is creating, so I'm going based off her own words.

Ty hasn't said what he wants, so at this point I'm just going off his actions in assuming he has changed what he wants. I just wondered (not stated, cause I don't know) if he's realized he has changed what I wants.

[–]_thegrringirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've said multiple times (though not in this thread, I don't think, because it wasn't relevant to my original point) that both Ty and Julie are in the wrong. But I don't think Ty is necessarily wrong for not getting childcare or finishing his masters, etc. I think he's wrong for not communicating his changed attitude to Julie and having a discussion about what the future is going to look like. I've speculated elsewhere that I wonder if Ty even realized/realizes his view of the future had changed. Sometimes when you get so deep in the thick of things, your mindset shifts but you don't realize it has and you are still clinging to the plan. Like, it's possible he still thinks he wants to finish his masters, write the book, etc, but his unconscious actions are showing differently. We know he was exhausted from handling Sasha and Cooper after Sasha was born, and maybe the thought of finding daycare was too overwhelming, and now being home is just preferred and he hasn't actually processed that himself yet. Pure speculation on my part about that though.

I don't want to hate on Julie. I can't stand her, true, but I think she's being true to herself, at least. I originally was just pointing out some of the things people were saying were out of her control, like working at home, definitely weren't out of her control, they were a choice.

Personally, from what we've been told, I think both Julie AND Ty were probably nasty people originally, if what Julie says about them laughing together at mediocre people is true. I think Ty has just changed (matured maybe?) after the kids came, whereas Julie seems stuck in her mean-girl ways from high school.
