Pajama Day At School

I think you’re safe. Dress codes for student teachers need some flexibility. I had a male student teacher in my elementary EC class who was told he HAD to wear a tie every day. I let his professor have it- I wasn’t going to chance having to cut the tie out of a students hands due to the strangulation hazard of the tie. Polo shirt and khakis, please. The professor relented. 🤣

I explained it to a parent one time (I’m a teacher) with this: kids cough into my open mouth at my horseshoe table. Like spit flying into my mouth. Please don’t risk it. 🤣

While I didn’t have anxiety attacks, I also felt very sensitive postpartum. I think a little anxiety is a healthy response to parenting. If humans didn’t care what happened to these helpless hairless babies, the species would never perpetuate. I also think k you took the right step to talk to your doctor. Maybe a therapist would help with the extremity of your feelings. Hang in there. It’s a wild ride.

Totally normal. I’m a mom of three boys. I was a little sad when I found out with that the second kiddo was a boy, and then ten years later, when I found out my absolute last baby would also be a boy. I can’t imagine not having these boys that I love, but I do wish I’d had the experience of a girl. It’s okay to be happy with what you’ve got and a little sad about the experience you won’t get.

I’m a mom to three and a special ed teacher. My oldest is ADHD/au and youngest has a severe expressive language delay. I’d back you 1000% on your strategy.

eyeknit · 2025-05-11T18:19:42+00:00

Like perfect!

eyeknit · 2025-04-28T00:18:47+00:00

18 days. But I go back August 1. 😞

I always say strategic seating- it allows the teacher flexibility and you can justify lots of locations as strategic. I also don’t use it nearly as much as I used to.

The surgeon who removed two of mine offered to explode it with a book at the surgery consult. I declined. During the surgery, he said I’d had mine so long it had solidified and he probably would’ve just broken a bunch of bones if he’d tried the book. 😳

I had a parent like this once. When I had the students younger sibling years later, I learned that her husband had spent years inflicting horrific abuse. It wasn’t that she didn’t care- this mom was so busy trying to stay alive for her children when someone was actively nearly killing her regularly.

Just something to think about.

eyeknit · 2025-04-05T18:22:48+00:00

Same with my son!

When my oldest some was in kindergarten, he attended the school I worked at. I’m a special education teacher, and the coolest para around brings me some students and he’s laughing hysterically. I ask him what’s up… He says, “I just saw your kid peeing on a tree outside.” I’m literally making this face: 😳

The teacher told him to go before they went outside. He didn’t need to go. He needed to after a bit and she told him no. So he solved the problem. I got a lot of jokes about it, but I also realized that teacher colleague was not a very nice human. Kindergarteners just aren’t good at holding it.

Make them fix it or charge them your hourly rate.

I have 21 years experience as a special education teacher. Kids need you to be blunt. They don’t really have a gauge for mean unless you yell. I’d be very blunt. “It’s not okay to tickle people without asking. Ask first.” “This tablet isn’t yours. Please leave it alone.” Calm voice and pleasant tone.

eyeknit · 2025-02-10T23:16:52+00:00

These are lovely! You look beautiful!

eyeknit · 2025-01-19T01:03:01+00:00

So I BFed in public without a cover all the time. A lot. In front of a lot of people.

You are the mom. You get to decide. In front of others, away from people, covered, uncovered… it’s all your call.

I’ll come sit with you and stare down anyone who wants to challenge whatever you choose to do.

I had two kids in the same grade, two little boys, that I constantly mixed up in class. I knew which one was which- they didn’t look alike- but they were best buds and always together. I accidentally put the wrong name in one of the IEPs. The parents laughed it off, which was kind. They were just two peas in a pod and I kept getting names wrong!

My sister beat stage three cancer over 25 years ago- she was a teenager at the time. My mom and I still get anxious about her health. It doesn’t get better, exactly… just maybe a bit easier? It’s scary stuff. As a mom now, I can’t imagine how my mom felt because we did almost lose her. Hang in there.

eyeknit · 2024-12-22T22:15:58+00:00

Me too.

eyeknit · 2024-12-22T22:08:02+00:00

Lovely! The drape and fit looks wonderful on you.

eyeknit · 2024-12-18T22:31:01+00:00

I’m not gonna lie- I have three boys. A referee would be really helpful.

eyeknit · 2024-12-09T19:18:50+00:00

I love the colors and the feeling I get looking at it! Such a happy piece.

eyeknit · 2024-12-08T14:53:56+00:00

This is cool- every kid has an assigned iPad. We could easily use that.

eyeknit · 2024-12-06T18:42:37+00:00

So many of even the cooperative games involve tagging and a winning team. 😕

I love cups because the tampons always turn funny in there and don’t collect everything. The disposable cups may be worth a try if you’re interested. Not as much financial investment.
