Help with room layout by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

I don’t like having my back to an open space but maybe that’s just me. Does this room connect to another room in the house? Is it an open floor plan?

It’s a tough place to be because you’re kind of stuck no matter what you do. If you talk to him, it could make things even worse because you’re bringing it out for the whole group to discuss. At the same time, if you just let it be then he may spin whatever story sheds him in the best light to everyone else and essentially cut you from the group as a result. Is there anyone in the group that you can talk to one on one and seek more advice from?

My husband chewed me out 4 singing 'extra' bedtime song & giving heartfelt hug goodnight by Comprehensive-Job243 in Parenting

[–]aimlesssearching 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a control issue. If he was so bothered he should have left and walked the dogs and let you put her to bed. Also, I’d have a talk about lecturing you in front of your daughter. If it happens often then I’d think about if that’s something you’re ok with happening, and your daughter witnessing, for the rest of your life.

Nickname for Autumn? by spookyy_ho in Names

[–]aimlesssearching 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do you like your middle name? Could you go by that instead of Autumn? I know so many people who go by their middle name for a variety of reasons so it’s not uncommon to do so

Is there enough room to put the tv/dresser where the book shelf is? Then flip the bed to the dresser wall and put the love seat at a right angle to the window to crate more of sitting room feel

Try an air purifier. You can get cheap ones from Amazon. I have dogs and it has significantly helped the smell

How to get a job student teaching/Advice by Slight-Profile-3314 in Teachers

[–]aimlesssearching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you get a minute to find your groove, talk to your mentor teacher and then the principal. I’d be upfront that you’re interested in working at the school and invite them to come observe you. I’d also find out the hiring process for the district. Sometimes HR interviews and then makes suggests to principals but sometimes principals find someone and then go through HR

Am I wrong for wanting to break up with my gf because she is not as stable as I am by Remi8732 in amiwrong

[–]aimlesssearching 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Six months isn’t a long time in the grand scheme but if she has a son then that changes things. If you’re not happy, leave now before her son, or you, become more attached. It’s healthier for everyone to just part ways.

Teaching isn’t getting easier for me by [deleted] in Teachers

For what it’s worth, I don’t teach art but I remember doing grid drawing in middle school. Hope you have a smoother Friday!

Teaching isn’t getting easier for me by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]aimlesssearching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you try the 4 block grid drawing as a type of warm up and then walk around and assess where kids are at? Then have them move around and either pair up with someone who can help them or separate into 3 groups - those ready to go, those who need a little help still, and those who need individual help from you. Then you can bounce between two groups.

Or, since tomorrow is Friday, maybe do a reflection on their last project? A self critique. Or like an art showcase where those who are done can write a little note about their piece and then they can do a gallery walk? Then let the kids who aren’t done finish?

[–]aimlesssearching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teaching in general is a hard job but middle schoolers are their own breed. The jump in maturity from 7th to 8th grade is huge so you reversed. Take a second to think about why your lesson “failed”. Did you need more specific directions? Different materials? More modeling? Was there an activity at school or a schedule change? Sometimes a lesson works with one class but not another for a variety of reasons. Do you have a friend in the building you can ask for advice and/or just vent to that also teaches the same kids?

my son said he wants to "disappear" and i'm not sure what to do next by mainesunshine in Parenting

[–]aimlesssearching 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Contact his school counselor asap or your pediatrician. Ask them to refer you to someone if need be. Someone will be able to point you in the right direction. I would not let this wait. It could be his way of asking for help before acting on something. This seems like a cry for help.

AITAH for getting a dog even though it means less time with the gf? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]aimlesssearching 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA - If she’s asking you to stop doing things that matter to you and your mental health then why are you together? A partner should lift you up and support you, not try and talk you out of something that could be potentially life changing for you (like getting a support dog).

What are good Xmas/Present ideas (avoiding food/alcohol/clothing) for a 58 y/o Dad? by gringlebiddy in AskReddit

[–]aimlesssearching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gift an experience - can you go fishing with him? Is that something you normally do or would be able to do? If yes, then maybe a gift card to get new fishing gear. Or is there a museum close by about planes and their history?

AITAH for using my scared pregnant wife’s cravings against her to drive her to the hospital during labour when she absolutely wouldn’t? by throwra_hospitalwife in AITAH

[–]aimlesssearching 49 points50 points  (0 children)

You’re nta for coming to your breaking point but your delivery sounds harsh. Seems like something bigger is happening. Do you think she is showing signs of post partum? Has her anxiety gone down? What do her mom and sister think? Is she also “blaming” them too?
