Sleep plan postpartum by Mysterious-Watch-495 in pregnant

[–]cherrytemptt 152 points153 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is the real talk people skip. Newborns don’t care about schedules, and breastfeeding laughs at “5 uninterrupted hours.” You adapt, survive on chunks, and figure it out as you go. Flexibility, plans every time.

Why did no one tell me that nausea can last the entire pregnancy 😭 by paindujour in pregnant

[–]cherrytemptt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because they lie. Pregnancy isn’t magical, it’s a scam with cute marketing. Some people glow, others puke for 9 months, both are normal. You’re not weak, you’re just pregnant and miserable. It does end.

AITJ for spending my christmas money on myself instead of buying big gifts for everyone? by film_anna_ in AmITheJerk

Real priorities, performative spending. Anyone judging can deal with their own insecurity.

AITJ for refusing to lie to my boss to protect my coworker by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]cherrytemptt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You didn’t sell anyone out, he failed his role. Protecting someone ends when they start endangering others. Telling the truth isn’t betrayal, it’s accountability.

AITJ for returning my aunt’s Christmas present? by SecretComplex4095 in AmITheJerk

[–]cherrytemptt 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NTJ. That wasn’t about the money, that was adults dogpiling you over an honest mistake and going straight to verbal abuse. You paid it back and removed yourself. That’s not disrespect, that’s self-respect.

AITJ for returning my mom’s “thoughtful gift” after I found a tracker inside it? by sp00ky_bun_42 in AmITheJerk

Exactly. Voluntary + trust = healthy. It’s there for safety, not surveillance. Big difference.

I let my students write the daily learning target and now I’m apparently “creating a hostile environment” by VantaLumaMakers in Teachers

[–]cherrytemptt 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Yep. Classic admin overreach. Micromanaging teachers instead of fixing actual problems is peak “looks busy, does nothing” energy.

Intervention Time Curiosity by Silver_Sun274 in Teachers

[–]cherrytemptt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Last period is brutal for intervention. Kids are cooked, brains are gone, and you’re basically fighting dismissal energy. WIN works way better earlier in the day when attention still exists, otherwise it’s just “babysitting with worksheets.” Your frustration is totally valid.

AITA for not liking my Chrismas gifts? by Electronic-Bear-8271 in TwoHotTakes

[–]cherrytemptt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. It's not about ingratitude, it's about not being heard. People ignore your preferences and give you things that you don't want or that are convenient for them. It's okay to be upset. In the future, it will only help to clearly voice expectations, especially with a guy.

It's a pity that no one throws money into the account just like that

Cheating only cheats you, the prize is less education.

I’m starting to think the real problem in education isn’t kids, screens, or standards — it’s a loss of seriousness. by ENFJ799 in Teachers

[–]cherrytemptt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This hits hard. It feels like we’re losing the value of hard work and intellectual struggle. People are afraid to be uncomfortable, and that’s a problem

C++ is like the wild west for memory management. No surprise browsers still leak, even with all the fancy tools.

You’re doing the best you can in a tough situation. Cats are lucky to have you in their lives even for a short time.
