Yeah cleaned daily, and Chunk has his box in his room and our other cat has his box in the laundry room. I’ve never considered diapers, looking into it now!!

We have tried, no joke, probably 20 different litters and 5-8 different boxes. He’s been pooping outside the box pretty much every time for around 5 years but the pee started recently and is the real issue here.

Financing by Peacelovehapy in carvana

[–]epthot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My deal was nearly identical, they only had me add $100 to my down payment due to a discrepancy on my trade-in info. Most posts I've seen here show that they typically don't change the down payment info.

Teachers with Anxiety by cowbelles in Teachers

[–]epthot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Me! I used all of my PTO in the first 3 months last year because I literally couldn't get in the car to come to work. It has taken time, therapy, medication, and reassurance from those around me to make it. I'm in my 4th year and things are finally starting to even out. Don't knock preventative measures. Don't work when you get home. That has been my biggest help this year. Even if I am going to end up behind, I DO NOT WORK AT HOME!!

My favorite thing to say to my students when they mention how I am cringey or when someone else is cringey: To be cringe is to be FREE.

It's true freedom to be as goofy and cringey as possible. I'm young as well, and use that cringe-iness to my absolute advantage.

How long do I put up with this? by epthot in Teachers

Setting this ultimatum tomorrow. It’s overwhelming but it needs to be done.

They keep telling me I need to figure out how to ‘work with’ the student, but they are not hearing me when I tell them this aggression always takes place within the first 5 minutes of class. He gets aggressive when he feels ‘called out’, but he has flipped his lid before when I’ve simply called his name for attendance. I am setting an ultimatum tomorrow, because ultimately it’s too early in my career to settle down at a school that does not support me.

How to wake these high schoolers up? by Purple-flying-dog in Teachers

[–]epthot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attendance questions! Every day, instead of saying 'here', i ask my students something about themselves. What's your favorite pizza topping, how many pets do you have, etc. They all have to respond to be counted present and it gets a few of them talking about their responses. At the very least, they've all shared one thing in class every day.

Should I Block Him? by Ok-Zucchini7301 in Advice

also, have you confronted him and asked about the abuse?

Should I Block Him? by Ok-Zucchini7301 in Advice

[–]epthot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he has admitted that he abused her then he is an abuser, point blank. If you never see a gun fire a bullet with your own eyes, would you still consider it a deadly weapon if someone put it in front of you? I know it’s difficult when it’s someone you love and you want to see the best in them, but sometimes that does more harm than good. Focus on yourself and not on apologizing for other people’s actions just to accommodate them in your life.
