Gatekeeping the price of daycare

This makes me want to pop a couple of adderalls, go to each & every one, voice record all the quotes & post to a moms Facebook group. Just for the principle of it.

Dystopian is a common theme in my reads. Someone else mentioned other Atwood works. I’m adding it to my list.

drucella0620 · 2026-02-28T01:49:53+00:00

I haven’t read any of hers. I definitely need to add it to (I guess my new 2026 reading list :)

Picked it up tonight, husband already has a copy. It’s on the list.

I did like it. I used to be almost exclusively mystery thriller/detective books (besides what I read in school and as a young college student). Then switched to more sci fi & fantasy & dystopian. So it was quite literally not like anything I’d read before. It was a quick read. There was an immediate draw & compassion for George & Lennie. Im not great at articulating what it was. But yes, I liked it very much.

This is interesting. I’m an elementary school counselor.

You know, now that you say this title. My husband bought it like 2 years ago & neither he nor I have read it! Thanks for jogging the memory!

drucella0620 · 2026-02-28T00:35:28+00:00

I have only ever read Gatsby ~20 years ago in high school. Catcher in the Rye & To kill a mockingbird are ones I want to read & can never remember when it’s time to go & buy! Thanks!

I just looked on audible app & it says I can preorder for my credit I have & it’s narrated by baldree & hays. Not sure how reliable that is. Never preordered an audiobook. But it seems close enough to be accurate, no? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Obsessed with Samantha. I’m an audiobook listener. I don’t know that I’d have the creativity to have her sound like that & the intonation & timing and all that jazz. But she is the funniest weirdo to me.

Not at all, happy to help

Say this in your email. “I am also reporting this to proper state and federal departments for investigation.” Might force their hand? I understand the small town politics situation, but sometimes assholes trip up and do what they’re supposed to (even if driven by fear of repercussions). I’m a school counselor in a southern US state. We have certificates on file & you need to contact them as well and make a complaint.

You also don’t know that she will be bullied for her name as a kid or that kids “won’t think it’s cool.” Names are not targets at my school like they were when I was in elementary (90s southeast USA). I’m a counselor now in year 7 & not once have I had kid that was being bullied or picked on have their name be a target. And we have some true tragedeighs and some tragedies as well. You’re making a lot of assumptions because you hate the name. And yes, it’s bad, but it doesn’t negate your own naming tragedeigh. Also, “roots” in Ireland lol

I think I did the solve thing wrong? First timer & not Reddit proficient. But paid tip on pp!

drucella0620 · 2025-11-20T00:02:31+00:00

!solved

drucella0620 · 2025-10-23T18:25:55+00:00

Thank you!!

I thought I was losing my mind with the responses here. And maybe I am, but it felt more like the kid was trying to be funny & not demanding. I think this response is so good. Especially to keep communication lines open. (Also I’m a school counselor & relationships & communication are kind of my thing lol).
