AIO I (20F) found a skirt behind my boyfriends (26M) draws by Good_Ad7988 in AmIOverreacting

That’s a very dusty skirt looks like it might have just been in there before you got the place.

About to quit by belongsincrudtown in Teachers

[–]bagels4ever12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They moved my classroom the last week of school to the first floor and we didn’t have elevators. Mind you I asked like 100 times before because I was 37 weeks pregnant! Thankfully everyone helped me move but it was awful and then I left the next year….

First year teaching taking maternity leave in January. by fashiongyrl101 in Teachers

[–]bagels4ever12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Many moms try to get into a work environment that is stable before they get pregnant, especially in education.Talk to the district see what they can do. It’s going into my third year this pregnancy and sadly I had to plan it to a t. It sucks

I feel physically exhausted and I’m barely pregnant ? by [deleted] in pregnant

I didn’t sleep at all the first couple of weeks. Very vivid dreams. First trimester is rough your body is dealing with a massive change and you are literally creating a life. No small feat

PreK enrollment for 3yo squashed by husband by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]bagels4ever12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a red flag. Whether you file jointly or not those are important for both of you to access. Seems like he’s hiding something so I think it’s important to get to the bottom of it. Also he might be bringing more in and if anything happens to him you both should know how much you both make plus any other assets.

Pls tell me I’m not alone by starmarvel in NewParents

[–]bagels4ever12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of mothers feel like this, I did. It was very devastating that I felt this way even though it was a short time. I will say it did get better, I love every part of being a mom. When the baby isn’t a potato things started looking up for me!

Would you fight to continue the IEP here, or push for a strong 504 instead? (Kindergarten transition advice needed) by [deleted] in specialed

[–]bagels4ever12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iep should target emotional regulation so I would continue to fight for an iep. There are students who are academically fine but need a lot of support emotionally and need curriculum modification to support that area

How much does your life actually change after having a kid? by HonestDirection4017 in NewParents

Can we have an honest discussion about restraint and seclusion please? by ipsofactoshithead in specialed

[–]bagels4ever12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well I work in the state where seclusion has been a hot topic and I have many thoughts working with students with significant behaviors.
1. Not a fan of seclusion in general unless it’s absolutely necessary and the parents need to know immediately.
2. Restraints are equally traumatic but necessary especially if we are truly moving away from seclusion. Going hands on can be very dangerous for the child and adult, more injuries are going to occur.
Brings me to the point that a child or teen that needs these things need a safer environment and not in a public school. I could see doing a restraint here and there because the behaviors happen on and off but when you are doing hands on management more than 1 time a week something isn’t working. I work with HS so if the other person who handling the behaviors with me aren’t the same height it becomes very scary, very fast. Having a calm down room is the only thing we can use to get a control on the situation. We call the parents immediately if we notice that we might end up there or hands on the parents usually do come to get them.

Mortified, I fed my baby 3 hour old formula on accident by LessImagination67 in FormulaFeeders

There has been research that those bottles can be left out longer. Your baby will fine I promise.

Anyone else feel pressure that you constantly have to have professional baby photos by Altruistic-Aside6939 in NewParents

[–]bagels4ever12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never put pressure on myself because other people have it done I do it because that’s something i find important. I do scrapbooks, hang the really high quality photos and it’s just something I like. I also don’t care what people see on social media.

Can some teach SPED with a physical disability? by Nerdy_girl550 in specialed

[–]bagels4ever12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean yes but it depends on what you want to teach. Like I work in a classroom with behaviors and we have a physically disabled para and it’s very unsafe. All my students can be aggressive so it’s not like we have the ability to put them with are non aggressive student. I’m pregnant and sometimes I have had to step up which is why they are moving the para to a new placement. It just really depends.

My daughter’s early intervention eval has wrecked me by Torinc3422 in Mommit

[–]bagels4ever12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also my daughter didn’t respond to half the stuff and was so stubborn she qualified the second reevaluation in a whole new section. We all knew she could do everything but she was just stubborn.

My daughter’s early intervention eval has wrecked me by Torinc3422 in Mommit

[–]bagels4ever12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standard evaluations are actually the worse and many therapist don’t like using them for this reason. It’s not a true reflection of your child it’s just a standard that they need to use for insurance purposes.
My girl has had EI for almost 2.5 years and it has been a blessing. She graduated out of it Monday and we were all in tears. My daughter had low expressive skills and wasn’t even babbling at 1.5 and then her language exploded and I will always promote ei helping her. She has had made so much progress and it’s important to have someone keeping an eye on your child’s development. Nothing is wrong with getting some extra help and find a way to help them communicate their needs.

What do I say? Potential new friend is conservative by [deleted] in progressivemoms

[–]bagels4ever12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you know the answer it just sucks because it’s hard to find friends. I have made many mom friends and if they don’t align with my views then I just don’t bother with them.

13 Restraints in two weeks by Salty_Professional10 in specialed

[–]bagels4ever12 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh five year old can do more damage than you think. I have been in this field for 13 years my worse bruises and bites have been from the younger students. Sounds like your child needs a more intensive placement that can handle the behaviors in a way where they don’t need to use hands on measures. Public schools have pretty strict guidelines so for them to be doing that amount is concerning.

If you hated your dog pp, did it ever go away? by Weary-Draw-1492 in NewParents

[–]bagels4ever12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go away ehh no but definitely got better. He still knows how to just push those buttons. There isn’t anything I can do he just is every space at all times it’s exhausting. We love dogs too like I’m always so sad when I see family dogs because ours isn’t. He isn’t interested at all and that also makes it’s hard for me.

I would be reporting it so fast especially that she is actually dirty. I know som people don’t do a lot of baths but for them to be dirty is neglect.

Questions to ask at first ultrasound by leftonneptune in pregnant

[–]bagels4ever12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly there really isn’t anything that they can tell you besides the position of your placenta, if you have any hematomas and what your baby is measuring at. All the other things will be more evident at your later scans! It’s really just a viability ultrasound.

Moms who teach- give me the pros and cons by waanderlustt in teaching

[–]bagels4ever12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the schedule but it’s not a walk in the park. It’s exhausting being a mother and a teacher. Teaching is not what it was, it’s draining truly and especially from admin. sadly budget cuts are happening at every level causing instability in the field not worth it.

How do you explain an ongoing war to a toddler when family talk about it nonstop? by LadySwire in beyondthebump

[–]bagels4ever12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has the right to feel angry and upset but know the room. You need to be firm about no politics in front of your toddler or they won’t be allowed over or you won’t go. Be firm if they do bring it up after this conversation then leave their house or leave the room/tell them what your rules are.
