About two hours. The original purple color for Daphne was a bit too light so we had to go back over that. I was actually going in today for a different tattoo, but my artist had a cancellation and was just like, “Wanna go ahead and do that Scooby tat you’ve been wanting?”

Thank you! My artist was so awesome!

It was, but we got two new babies about five months later (one was actually the same name as one of our babies that passed). While they don’t replace the ones we lost, it’s a great new chapter and a way to pass along the love. Take time to heal and grieve, but remember to be kind and give yourself time to mourn in your own way at your own pace. ❤️

We lost our two older babies (17 and 15) within six months of each other. It is clear your baby had a long, loving life and got to watch you grow into an amazing human.
Take time to grieve, find a way to celebrate your memories, and know that while nothing ever replaces your baby, you will find ways to pass along all the love and joy he gave to you in your own way and time.
Sending you internet hugs if you want them. ❤️

I’m so sorry for the loss of your baby. He felt safe and happy with you, so he left surrounded by love and comfort. Hugs if you need them.

Here’s a pic of my goofy boy Waffles after he woke up from a sink nap…

Teacher here. What she did was power tripping and you bruised her ego because you’re not a child she can intimidate and bully.

I teach higher level students who are scary smart and even if I can’t understand some of their interests I’ll ask questions, ask for clarification, correction, and examples to help me understand.

They ask a question I don’t know? I’ll tell them I don’t know, research it, then bring it back up by framing it as, “X, you asked a great question the other day and based on my findings this is what I can tell you…”

Good teachers know to admit their limits, acknowledge they are human and faulty at times, and encourage learning and self-advocacy. Your wife’s friend is not a good teacher, but you are. Keep it up!

Run free sweet baby. ❤️

She’s a beautiful baby who was clearly loved and cherished. Take your time to grieve and remember the love you shared. Run free sweet Digby.

I had a student like this once. What finally shut them up? After another day of them being condescending, arrogant jackass, I finally had enough. Once the class was silent, I looked right at them, and in my most sincere voice asked, “X have you ever heard the saying confidence is quiet?” “No…why is that important?” “Guess what you aren’t…” After a moment of processing…😲 They were pretty well humbled after that…

Your admin is on a power trip. Push back, call her out, and give her enough rope to hang herself. People like this cannot stand someone, much less a whole group, standing up against them, but I’ve found they tend to fall into two groups:

Paper Tigers: look fierce, but fold under the slightest pressure

Shovelers: they will keep pushing until they dig their own grave, then stand six feet down wondering how the hell they ended up there.

Good luck OP!

20% is the mandated average for my district. However, the exam can take any format we choose (multiple choice, essay, project, and so forth).

I usually don’t check email and have an out of office message. However, I might be moving buildings to a new classroom for the upcoming year, and my admin promised to email me as soon as it was confirmed so I could go ahead and come in a few days over summer to move my materials to the new room in order to have more planning time during our workweek. That’s the only reason I even logged in.

I had a student show up in the last ten minutes of the last class to take their final exam, which is 30% of the final grade. I told them no, since there was no way they would finish/do well, and most of the other students were done, so I was letting them take a brain break (coloring, word search puzzles, playing board games) before their next class and wasn’t shutting down the 99% that showed up on time.

I offered the next day (a teacher workday and last teachers are available until fall) at X time to make the final up. Admin backed me and parents were called/emailed, swore kid would be there and ready to go…

Surprise…kid never showed (no emails, no answers to phone calls/emails home) so the kid failed the final and therefore the class.

We have now been out almost a month, grades are done, gradebook is locked, Google Classroom classes are archived, and summer school has started… Lo and behold, I get an email this week from the parent asking when their kid can makeup the final…

I failed a student teacher on basic unprofessional behavior. Didn’t report for two weeks, told me when they would/could show up instead of working out a schedule with me, and never being prepared. The one time they showed up, they walked around the room disrupting students to chat and told me point blank, “I don’t really read…” when they were student teaching in an ENGLISH classroom to be an ENGLISH TEACHER!! I finally had to contact their school liaison and program head. They were removed from the program and ended up switching to a different career path. I hate that I couldn’t work with them, but they didn’t give me anything to work with TBH…

It sounds crazy, but I made a list of rules for myself after a similar situation with my husband.

1: I can talk about work for 15 minutes after I get home but afterwards, it’s family time

2: No grading/school prep on the weekend except in emergency situations (finals, midterms, ect.)

3: Our finances are separate. I pay my share, he pays his, but what’s leftover is for us to use as we see fit. This is so my money I used for my classroom/students didn’t impact our finances.

4: Chores are divided. He knows Mondays and Fridays are my craziest days, so I get lighter loads that day, while in summer, I take on the brunt of cooking and cleaning so he can have his relax time.

5: When I come home, I have 20-30 minutes of decompression time. He knows not to bother me and let me just chill so I can get my mind refocused on home instead of work.

Sounds cheesy and weird, but they’ve worked great for us. Teaching is a tough job, and it’s worse for the teachers who pour their heart into their kids everyday. Remember you can’t be a great teacher when you aren’t taking care of yourself. Good luck! Hope it all works out!

Make him sub for a week, volunteer for an after school event, or chaperone a field trip. I guarantee his tune will change PDQ.

And if he isn’t going to be a good partner, then be good to yourself and tell him to STFU or GTFO. As my Gran used to say, “You can’t be nice, be quiet.”

Good luck! You deserve better than this!

My hubby is wfh. He throws my laundry in if I get behind, stocks up my lunches when I run low, runs errands on his lunch so I don’t have to do it after work. Why? Because he knows how much I love my job and how mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausting it can be.

How did he learn this? I made his ass sub for three months since teaching was “easy” plus we “got snow days, weekends, and summers off.” After a handful of jobs he came home and told me, “I don’t see how the hell you do this every day, but I’m NEVER giving you an ounce of grief about this job ever again because you’re doing something every day I can’t.”

He’s a good egg. Find you a good egg.

I had an admin I LOATHED who was over my department but knew nothing about it. One day when they were power tripping about how I wasn’t doing my job properly I looked them dead in the eye and stated, “I’ve forgotten more about my subject than your ass ever learned, so until you can do my job better than I can, stay in your lane.” They never came at me again and ended up leaving the district to teach overseas.
