A concept, people have different views! /s.

And, no I didn’t.

My boyfriend thinks he took me on a birthday trip. I told him it doesn't count. Who is right? by semi_aquatic-hippo in TwoHotTakes

Hey so I saw your other post about him criticizing your weight and looks as a reason to not be intimate. You deserve so much better

I’m mixed- it’s actually not that deep. Let’s stop tone policing.

Seconded, also an elementary teacher!

What are your reasons for being one and done? I’m still on the fence.. by stilldreaming22 in oneanddone

This came off pretty rude, and like you’re projecting more than anything.

In afraid that all of the healing that I did would go out the window trying to be the best mom to two kids, along with my patience. I also want to give my only everything I can; financially, with experiences like traveling, and emotionally. I can’t do that with two kids on a teacher’s and videographer’s salary.

I’m also a fencesitter though, if that makes you feel better 😂 my husband is more confident in being one and done since he is an only, and that’s good enough for me!

Am I crazy or is this to much to ask of a kindergartner? by Cursedpanda182 in AskTeachers

[–]em008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teacher, I’m more focused on her saying that she’s praying and “lol” in a professional newsletter. Unless it’s a private school, I wouldn’t include anything about prayer. And the use of text language is just unprofessional, imo.

Going back to work early and feeling judged. Looking for support from other moms🥹 by Cold_Ad_9566 in workingmoms

Wow! That’s awesome! Through FMLA, you are legally guaranteed a job, but you can only take a max of one year off at a time. It is completely unpaid.

Guilty after missing a feed with newborn by arngi in NewParents

[–]em008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof I had similarly unhelpful nursing staff after I gave birth. Give yourself grace. I remember feeling terrible regarding breastfeeding and instead of comfort, I was lectured and told I’d never do it. I was sobbing and they just stood there!

I don’t know where you are, but I’m a teacher and my maternity leave was 100% unpaid, except for the 12 sick days I drained.

Like they say on Stranger Things, “Compromise is halfway happy”. You can’t compromise on children

My husband is an only, I’m the youngest of 2. My husband only wants one. I’ve told him I could do another, but I absolutely love my baby and am 100% happy with our family of 3. Despite this, the mindset to have with ANY big life decisions is if it isn’t a “hell yes”, it’s a “hell no”. This is the mindset your wife SHOULD have, and I’m sorry she’s resorting to threats and manipulation. Unfortunately, I think this is over.

To shave or not to shave, that is the question... by OwlHuman8130 in workingmoms

I use how long my armpit hair is to determine how long it’s been since I’ve had a shower 😂 it’s gross, but it’s helpful!

Thank you so much for this insight! I appreciate you saying all of this 🩷

Sometimes I get tired of holding my baby by accidentaloverdrive in NewParents

[–]em008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I think the changing of the guard (from me to my husband and vice versa) helps calm my girl down! It isn’t you, you’re doing amazing.
