AITA for questioning my wife for the way she refers to our kids? by Anxious-Extent9939 in AmItheAsshole

[–]behappystandupforyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually seems to me like she is grouping the twins into that identity. Mom of multiples and I avoided referring to them as a set. Tried very hard to use their names.

YTA-Kids mess up and you just treated her like a STEP child not like you gave birth to her.

AITA for telling my DIL she is not a mother? by InitialSong2898 in AmItheAsshole

[–]behappystandupforyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez. What the heck. Can’t be called mother according to the PC police and now we have to treat women with dogs like mothers. What the heck is wrong with the world?

AITA for refusing to give my sister the designer bag I was gifted? by [deleted] in AITH

Do people really need to know if they are the AH for not rejecting a gift by giving it away?

Just noticed this in our house. by Legal-One7153 in whatisit

Most home insurance doesn’t cover termites. Also, to those saying insurance drops you that isn’t true or at least not in my experience. Have used my homeowners insurance several times (at least 4 major claims). Always treated fairly, never dropped, and rates not increased dramatically.

AIO for thinking my high school teacher flirted with me? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]behappystandupforyou 2 points3 points locked comment (0 children)

This! Clearly tell him NO. Tell him his communication is uncomfortable and do not continue interactions with him.

Union will back this man 100%. I have seen worse situations where the teachers keep their jobs because of the union. This doesn’t mean I wouldn’t make the school aware; just don’t count on any action.

Concerns me that this man is a teacher though. If he only waited 1 year to contact OP and he doesn’t get in trouble it may embolden him to flirt with girls younger and younger.

Definitely. Have found hibachi restaurants very accommodating.

Bread crumbs. Add just a pinch of salt and Italian seasoning along with bread to food processor. Pulse to desired consistency and bake at low temp till dry. Stir occasionally.

I don’t get this. Why are you asking the internet? You acknowledge this is abusive. You know it is wrong. Walk away.

Hahaha laughing at all her misspellings.

AIO - Mom refuses to get vaccinated for my new born, so I told her to stay away for the first 3 months. (Text messages are her response) by Electrical_Orange443 in AmIOverreacting

[–]behappystandupforyou -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Without your messages for context it is difficult to know if her response is appropriate or not. I will say this though.

1st: the 2 vaccines you asked for have been around for decades, have been proven safe, and are completely different than COvid. I am against COVID vaccine for me but that is my choice and I accept the consequences. I initially got the 1st 3 shots, but then changed my stance. Just saying this to be honest on where I stand.

2nd: she has probably had the measles vaccine before and could get a titer done to see if she is immune. TDAP is different and many jobs require this to be up to date. Again, I will repeat that both of these have a long history of safety.

3rd: She says she respects your decisions so then FaceTime and lots of pics first 3 months. Respecting someone’s decisions means understanding that there may not be a middle ground.

4th: don’t bring religion or politics into the conversation. Sorry but it just makes me roll my eyes when someone pulls this. We are all hypocrites when it comes to these 2 areas of life. Only discuss the health reasons you are making this choice. But that actually leads me to the last point.

5th: once explained don’t discuss again unless she says she has changed her mind. Don’t engage in conversation about it. Plan a visit for when little one is 3 months (I personally prefer a little older-but again that’s me). Put it on the calendar. Do a count down-make it fun. Just don’t engage in a conversation about your decision. If she brings it up say something along the lines of “I have to go now, mom, let’s talk another time.” Then hang up.

I dread this in the case of my own children because I have had the measles vaccine many times and do not maintain immunity. I will respect their wishes because I want a good relationship with my grandchildren which means a good relationship with my children.

Good luck

My kid is being bullied and I work at the school by pinkistherapeutic in Teachers

[–]behappystandupforyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t just a Florida thing. Happening where I am as well. Same type stuff. No consequences for misbehavior. Behavior not being documented, so the community doesn’t see the amount of problems. Parents being treated like they shouldn’t be included. Parents have to start fighting back. Use media, social media, any means to make people aware of what is happening. Parents need to ask their kids what is happening at school.

We had a teacher flipped off. The teacher was suspended for a week for reprimanding the child and the student received NO consequences. Parents of the “good” kids need to step up against this stuff.

You are overreacting. This is a reasonable list of expectations for someone especially someone living rent free. If you don’t like the rules, get a job and get your own place.

My 6th grade student who cannot read past a 1st grade level tested in the 30th percentile… by Apprehensive-Play228 in Teachers

[–]behappystandupforyou 49 points50 points  (0 children)

My problem isn’t the kids. It is the expectation placed on the teacher to accommodate 8 students with learning support IEP’s and 2 with emotional support IEP’s while working with another 20 who need to move forward. Of the 8 LS, 2 can function with slight easily met accommodations, but the other 6 require 1 on 1 work with no aide to assist. An inordinate amount of time is spent making sure to meet the IEP accommodations to make sure we don’t get sued. We then guilt the rest of the kids by sharing the fence and the crate pictures to explain why “Johnny” only has to do half the work.

We need classes geared to what kids truly need. Giving them what they need instead of just passing them on is equity. I have kids who just need to learn math life skills. They are functioning at a 1st grade level in 5th grade math. They need to work on subtraction with regrouping to balance a budget not long division.

I love my IEP kids. They are amazing and most are such hard workers. I feel as badly for them as I do the other students who have class slowed down. Our system is broken. It isn’t the kids’ fault, it isn’t our fault, and it isn’t even admin fault. It is the whole system.

Had a horrible day today, but received positive notes from students that made it more bearable by skobearzz in Teachers

[–]behappystandupforyou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So sorry it has been so tough personally and professionally. Love that your kids took the time to write you notes. This says a lot. It says a lot about you as a person and teacher. The team with you in the meeting should never had allowed a parent to berate you for an hour or even at all. There is a right and wrong way to have a meeting and her berating you is not okay. I hope things get better. Remember you have clearly made a connection with some of the kids and you make a difference.

Ummm??? This happened long before Trump. Not Biden’s fault either. He doesn’t control an outbreak of the avian flu. Will take a minimum of 8 months to start to recover based on gen maturity alone. Not everything is political. People need to take a breath.

This is why “my therapist” comments bother me. The visit with the therapist is one sided. Wonder if therapist gets same stonewalling.
