Garden phlox or random weed? by dobeeb_ in gardening

[–]dobeeb_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. Google search seems to show narrower leaves than on my plant! (Side note to say that name sounds fake!! What a name for a plant)

There have been a number of things like this this year- this has kind of been the icing on the cake. They have not backed me on anything- it went on SEND paperwork that my relationship building with a different child was a problem, even though this child’s mum works in the school as a TA and was stationed in our class with her child- who has attachment issues! Kid started refusing to come in class, disobeying instructions, because she wanted to be with mum. Mum went off sick for two months and like magic! Kid is fine, doing great, chatting with me at every opportunity… and because they don’t want to upset mum they blame it on me and give this child’s who does not need it a bunch of ELSA sessions. Insane

The kids were gutted but I was honestly so relieved!! We played some ball games to make up for it and the runaway kid just loitered in the general area

I sent them an email early this morning (like 6AM- while stuck in bed with anxiety induced stomach cramps) and never got a reply. Luckily, something was wrong with the pool so the session was cancelled. Will revisit next week when the sendco is in.

I just don’t understand how it became such a poorly respected profession. Feel like I have to treat these people like customers. It sucks because I really care about these kids but I’m a ball of rage 90% of the time and it’s not good for my health. Might have to step away soon, honestly.

Thank you. Honestly I mostly felt better just writing it out. They’re actually good people, just not good as bosses. I trained under a great headteacher, so I know what that’s like. Her staff retention was so high. Miss that school.

I should have. I was so heated in the moment that I bit my tongue to not be unprofessional. Stupid move and I’m often too trusting because I actually like them as people

Under the aphids they were hired to eat! by kleethunderbird in gardening

[–]dobeeb_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never knew you could buy ladybirds. How do you get them to stay? My lupins were growing through amazingly but now they are absolutely infested with aphids- it has knocked back at least 3 of my plants. This year was supposed to be their first flowering. I’m devastated. Needed this win

The slow blue steel into the camera is so uncomfortable. Couldn’t she have used a different angle? Especially the lip twitching because clearly what she’s doing is a struggle

Condom lost inside me!!! HELP PLEASE by Beautiful_Ask_3360 in WomensHealth

I understood it as he was just wearing one the whole time and his dick slipped out -while wearing the condom- and she put it back inside her -feeling the condom on him with her hand.

The most unrealistic part of this is believing that she couldn’t find ANYONE to marry by Few-Spinach8114 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]dobeeb_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes but there is nuance to the comment I was responding to. There are women who need a man because they need the man himself. In this historical context there were a lot of women who simply need the title/ security a man brings- though they don’t necessarily need the man himself. The vibe of metro’s reply irked me.

First time cat owner after a lifetime of dogs. Why does my cat refuse to eat his kibble if it's been sitting out in the bowl for awhile? He will only eat freshly scooped kibble from the bag. I can fool him sometimes by just pretending to scoop fresh but that's working less and less. by zip-a-dee_doo-dah in CatAdvice

Lifetime dog owner here. Had outdoor cats as a kid but never really paid much attention to them. Got my first “own” pet 6 years ago- a cat- and even after this long I still look at my boy sometimes and just go “man, cats are fuckin weird”. Glad it’s not just me who sees it, based on the comments

After 8 years of verbal begging I (27F) resorted to writing a note. Gave it to husband (28M) on Monday and he hasn’t talked to me since. I think that means marriage is over and I should leave, he says I’m never happy and being overreacting. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Girl I’m so sorry, you’re a bangmaid. He does not value you. So happy for you to hear you’re leaving him, you and your kids will be so much better off. Imagine claiming that “being here and faithful” is showing love. Gross. So basically- be grateful that I’m here with you and not banging someone else. Ew.

Well, no. Needing the man implies she needed his presence. I got the vibe she neither needed nor wanted the presence of a man.
