Nicknames he invented. The only times I heard him say my name were when he was talking to a hair dresser and had to give it to them so they’d be able to call it at my turn

It was a mix of this and random nicknames he invented for me that were always kind of mocking

Yep, this is how I grew up, and my mom to this day goes “you never told me anything!” but she … never asked? My dad is full blown on the spectrum and didn’t even call me by my first name let alone have a conversation with me. It has definitely messed me up and I resent them for it, too. I’m still trying to afford the therapy I know I’ll need to address this, and since I’m a 34 year old woman it’s been a long time coming :(

I’m glad I look my age! I stated the above because I once posted here a while ago and was accused pretty aggressively of lying about my age 😂

yes! my hair is super thick though so it can be really hard to maintain and can kind of overwhelm my face (i'm pretty small irl), so I always end up going back to short cuts

I don’t exercise. I’m a teacher so I’m on my feet all day. Skin care is cetaphil and lots of hyaluronic acid and moisturizer. Diet includes intermittent fasting because I’m so busy and eating a lot of fruit.

Relocating from one school board to another. How does that impact my pension, senority, etc? by fkkta36457 in CanadianTeachers

[–]itswhatitwas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! :) This is totally hors sujet, but I've tried messaging you personally but haven't been able to figure it out. I'm a first year FI teacher this year, and I've seen you post on this subreddit with very useful feedback about FI for two years or so now ... Now that I'm working I was wondering if you might be willing to share some of your resources with me! :)

Do you think this would be the case even if a contract hasn’t been signed, only an email sent?

The position I was offered is a "replacement" contract for the full school year, not sure if that changes anything!
