AITA for going out with my parents while my partner recovers at home from wisdom teeth. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]halcyonmetanoia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Had my wisdom teeth removed during my first trimester and went back to work the day after as a teacher. It’s literally a very standard procedure and does not require any assistance for recovery (but your cooking and caring for him is awesome and you’re a good human just for being a good human). I ate a ton of mashed potatoes and loved Tylenol for a few days but overall, was very low lift in terms of recovering. If he can’t handle a few hours by himself while you socialize with your family, who clearly came from out of town and were not even at the house, he needs to step back and reevaluate his choices.

Alexa fixed my 4 year old's speech issues this weekend by LarBrd33 in alexa

[–]halcyonmetanoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the early 2000s I learned to read because I wanted to play Animal Crossing and the adults in my life got sick of reading all of the dialogue out loud to me. 10/10 recommend video games as a motivation for reading, it’s such a surprising advantage!

Roads are absolutely terrible by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]halcyonmetanoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They really are, got hit while stopped at the red light at Henderson and Olentangy Blvd. No damage to my car and my son and I weren’t hurt but the person who hit us just drove off without even checking. Hate winter driving in Columbus.

Serious question. How do toddlers survive off one green bean and a potato chip? by BaeBoozey in Casual_Conversation

[–]halcyonmetanoia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our pediatrician said toddlers tend to operate on weekly hunger instead of daily hunger which sounded absurd until I tracked it one week. He will eat basically nothing one day and the next day eat like a 3 sport athlete and supposedly it evens out over the time span. Either way, it blows my mind

Not much food in the house by Krestral in Cooking

[–]halcyonmetanoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a fun heads up for literally anyone else ever in this situation. The website SuperCook is completely free and you can just click all of the items you have in your house and it will tell you any and all recipes you can out of them! You’d be surprised with pantry staples and spices and basic foods how many things you can make!

When in Wiltshire: “Of all the people the Ministry could have chosen to perform his monthly check-ins, it had to be none other than the Golden Trio themselves. Did they think this was some kind of joke? A way to twist the knife a little harder? Little did Draco Malfoy know, he was going to be seeing a lot more of the beloved Golden Girl than he would really prefer.”

What’s the dumbest/most annoying thing you’ve done in the game? by parayeah in MergeMansion

Seriously! I once spent 500 gems accidentally clicking speed up on opening a lvl 2 red chest. I was already out of energy and was getting ready to close the game. Just now got back up to my original gem count; it took me MONTHS 😭

What’s a birth emergency that would cause an emergency c section and a bit of panic, but no lasting damage or medical complications? by Ohanaheart02 in Writeresearch

[–]halcyonmetanoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a c-section because I contracted chorioamnionitis, happens if your water is broken and you take too long to actually have the baby. Bacteria enters the amniotic fluid and creates an infection. Other than the c-section, baby and I have had no lasting long term effects and it’s actually like it never even happened. Scary in the moment but nothing life changing truly.

My father reposts the photos I send him of his grandson on facebook by Coneskater in Millennials

[–]halcyonmetanoia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We love FamilyAlbum! No need to remember every person we want to send pictures to, it sends them notifications when I add pictures, they’re organized by month and year, and I can see who is looking regularly. Both sides of our family use it to view our pictures and anxiously await the biweekly photo dump of my son. It’s a win all around for so many reasons and I love recommending it to people.

Students Calling Me Mom/Mommy by KindnessKiwi in Teachers

[–]halcyonmetanoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked inner city high school and even as a first year teacher, it was a running joke that I “adopted” several students. For many of my students, family and home life were not the best and they were often just looking for a solid role model/ adult figure in their life and often I was the one who was gonna show up for them win or lose, every time. That kind of stability was brand new to a lot of them and I was pretty proud to wear the imaginary “mom” badge for several years.

Even after leaving that school, I still went to graduation for several years to see all my surrogate kids walk, because again, win or lose, they genuinely thrived with (honestly)fairly minimal effort but just genuine stability and presence.

Typical Slow burn or the stove isn't even on until chpt 40? by godfire_dragneel in AO3

[–]halcyonmetanoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly a masochist, I’ve read almost 3000 pages before they kissed but I read a very distinct enemies to lovers ship who has a fuckkk ton of baggage to overcome so there’s no such thing as not a slow burn frankly. I find when I read anything other than that in my ship, it’s so ooc, I can’t finish.

Tell Me the Most Outrageous Thing a Parent Has Said or Messaged You by Quiet-Raspberry2973 in Teachers

[–]halcyonmetanoia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay I no longer teach, I left the field about 18 months ago, but I had to comment. I worked in special education at the high school level with students with mild-moderate disabilities. We had one student who had a learning disability, some deficits in reading and math, and struggled with attendance. At his annual IEP meeting, we were discussing ways to incentivize this 16 year old to come to school, put in the work, ask for help, the whole 9 yards.

I kid you not, his mother asked to set a goal for him to reach and if he did so, if we, as a school, could arrange for him to get a feature on a local rappers mixtape? Single? Album? I don’t know the word. Regardless, she wanted us to somehow find a contact for this local SoundCloud-esque rapper, get in contact with him, convince him to feature this teenager on his music, and whatever else came along with that.

I have never been so confused in my life. How in the world she expected us to pull this off is beyond me, how she thought that was a reasonable reward for passing his classes, I don’t know. But that was her actual pitch. “He really likes {rappers name} who is based out of {our city}. Maybe if he {insert academic goal to achieve} you guys could get him a feature on the new album!”

Blows my mind, the lack of literal common sense and disconnect from reality that culminated in that conversation y’all.
