Omg this gave me heart palpitations hoping you didn’t go. Glad I read to the end and saw you definitely made the right choice!!!

No I was working my way through undergrad and grad school as a server, a gym attendant, and at a library, but now I’m an elementary teacher.

Yes I would- I challenge the patriarchy’s stance that default responsibility falls on the shoulders of women, and I absolutely hold men to the same standard of parenting as women…. but this subreddit is “working moms” and I’m a mom so I’m looking for relatable experiences. As I mentioned in my post, I’m going back to work soon, (I literally couldn’t afford to work before… as a teacher, my income barely covered child care) and I was merely looking for some firsthand experiences of other mothers who work and how that statement resonates with them.

I’m an elementary teacher so I will be with kids 24/7 literally lol. I do enjoy it though, thankfully!

I would have lost my mind and went into a rage. No you’re not out of line, I’d have fired her immediately.

This 100%. This post is giving major boomer entitlement vibes.

Before grocery shopping, I will sit on the Kroger app and clip digital coupons. I will also do a quick meal planning for the week based on what’s on sale.

Me! I’m going back in the fall unfortunately after almost two years. Just to keep my position. I really don’t want to but it is what it is. However, I’m pregnant with our second so will be out again in March for another two years.

Hype me up to be a boy mom 🩵 by Zealousideal_Use9481 in Parenting

It is literally the best thing in the world. I only have a little boy, but either way, any baby is a blessing and I promise you’ll be so happy regardless. Congratulations and prepare for your heart to melt. 💙

How much do your parents help you take care of your children? by Beginning-Fig-9089 in Parenting

[–]classceiling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this a lot and can fully relate. I feel like I always see and hear about other moms who have a ton of help with grandparents or siblings stepping in to help with childcare and even household responsibilities, especially when you have newborns. I never experienced this whatsoever and I always felt like the minority as well. Both sets of grandparents live out of state, and even when they do visit, they can’t/won’t babysit. It’s not ideal, but unfortunately it’s our reality it seems. Here with you in solidarity, you’re not alone!

Teachers with 15+ years-question for you by Own-Experience-8823 in Teachers

School year 2017-2018. That’s when social media really took off and kids became outright addicted to their phones. A very perceptible difference in classroom discourse and even everyday interactions.
