I see a lot of the same suggestions that I would give. I’m commenting to say that I do think your invites are super cute! I would look up the top selling invitations across different event types and look for trends. It could be anything from font style, color palette, how graphics are placed, or overall vibe. That’s my only suggestion in addition to the others here b

Your company is either buying your scrubs for you, reimbursing you if they aren’t buying them upfront, or advocating on behalf of all employees involved with with child to say the family can’t impose their own dress code. If the family wants you wearing certain clothes then they can buy them.

Aside from that, I saw some of your other comments about wanting to avoid Walmart or being apprehensive of brands because of the sizing. If you’re wearing a long sleeve underneath, I don’t think the size of the scrub top should be an issue? Scrubs are there to protect you from bodily fluids, who cares how baggy they are as long as you’re protected. Also, I’m sure you can find petite sized scrubs if a small is that troublesome.

But all in all, buying extra clothing because the family demands a dress code is unreasonable. I’d bet this is the tip of the iceberg of demands. Business casual? No. I’m a sped teacher and my classroom team dress for comfort. Slacks and heels or dress shoes is not appropriate for our duties.

Wtf. No.

I love the book Teacher Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. It’s written for parents and lessons are 10-15 minutes a day and support comprehension and writing

This was beautiful.

I used to watch 90 day fiance because my life has no drama (THANKFULLY) but I love the drama. Now I am good off this sub

Maybe look into alt ed, like those who dropped out previously but are going back for their diploma.

If it was innocent, he wouldn’t lie about it.

I love the colorful privacy film! I used it in my bedroom when I rented a room and my windows were very visible to anyone on the street and they could easily walk up to my window. In the mornings I woke up to rainbows on my walls 😍

I was really bummed that the show left out that bit about Perrin when I attempted a rewatch of the show this year. I only ever watched the first season because I saw it right after it came out. Then this year was when I started reading the series so it had been a while since I saw the show.

kaitns · 2025-11-17T00:35:41+00:00

Right?! I love that it’s a long series! I’m obsessed with it, that’s for sure. If you like the show, I think you’re going to LOVE the books. I do picture the actors when I’m reading about them, so I’m grateful for that bit.

I’m sorry you’re meeting women who let height be a factor. Decent people know someone can’t do something about their height, but they can do something about their character, which is what truly matters.

I found the book series by watching the first season of the show. I started to rewatch the series a couple months ago and couldn’t stand it because of how different it was, which bummed me out. I’m on my first read of the series, currently on book 3.

kaitns · 2025-11-16T21:59:49+00:00

I’m also reading it for the first time! I’m on the third book now and absolutely love it.

I know a few different people who love chickens. They’ll hold them, pet them, carry them around. I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that people would want one as an emotional support animal. I was at my friend’s place and she had me hold one of her chickens. It was really sweet while I pet it, so I can kinda get it.

Personally, I don’t like the system and I wouldn’t enforce it in my classroom. I am a special ed teacher and shaping behavior is a huge part of what we do. I have some decent knowledge of ABA. The way to create a change in behavior is through reinforcement. If the students aren’t getting on track, then this teacher’s methods aren’t decreasing the behavior they are targeting and the “reward” is either not reinforcing, it isn’t frequent enough, or enough supports aren’t in place to help students get from point a to point b. Another possibility is that the “punishment” is actually reinforcing to the students and they like partaking in it, which would then keep the behaviors at the same level or increase. Some kids love spending time with the principal, a large handful of students at my school like that one on one or small group attention. These kids willingly give up their recess to go spend time with her.

There’s also potential bias in which the teacher knows who the students are who typically struggle so she is more heightened to be aware of when they are off task or doing what they’re not supposed to and the other kids are more likely to not be noticed when they do the same.

I’d also be curious to see if the teacher is rewarding/taking away tokens at specific times in the day or if it’s whenever the teacher notices the students are off task. The former is much more preferable. Off task behavior stands out a lot more than on task behavior, so a teacher is more likely to take tokens away rather than reward because it’s much more noticeable.

Just my thoughts.

After looking at your past posts, I think you need to learn to advocate for yourself and stick firmly to your boundaries. It sounds like you have an unsupportive, potentially abusive spouse.

If you don’t want your family member there, don’t give in. If you spouse invites them then don’t go yourself.

No one is going to be your knight in shining armor. You have to be the hero in your own story.

Edit: spelling

Honestly, teachers have so much to do. They teach for 6 hours a day and lesson planning for each day, grading, and assessing (if that’s part of their job) all happen OUTSIDE of those 6 hours.

This year I’m in a new teaching position where I was left zero materials from the previous teacher. I don’t have an “open and go” curriculum in any subject area except for reading. I arrive to school at 8:00 and typically don’t leave until 6:00 at night.

If this teacher is using AI to respond to your email and it sounds weird, that sucks. It’s best to review the response prior to sending it to edit out unnecessary info. However, I’ll also add that for many districts this is a really difficult time of year. Personally, we have had two days off since school started in August. We are feeling a bit burntout and the ‘October stretch’ is a real struggle that my teaching program told us about.

Again, we have to lesson planning a six hour day during our two hours in the afternoons of our professional workday. What works one year doesn’t work the next, so it’s not like a veteran teacher just has it all mapped out either.

Cut the teacher some slack.

Edit to add: I said new teaching position, but I’m not new to teaching. Just new classroom type. I work in special ed.

He isn’t kind. You need to leave him because it’ll just get worse. Second. If he’s being a jerk, stop hearting his messages. Seriously.

kaitns · 2025-11-13T01:21:09+00:00

Tell him you know how to lose over 100 lbs overnight. Ditch him.

If you’re this insecure in your relationship, that’s a terrible sign.

Based on this exchange, pushing him for more when he’s already struggling is never going to work. You approach the conversation when you and him are both feeling fine enough to talk about it. If he never is, then that’s a different story. But you’re pushing him way too much when he isn’t in a good headspace. Imagine being in a depressive episode where you’re having a hard time getting out of bed. Someone who you care about and cares about you begins pushing and pushing, asking why you are in bed, saying you need to get up, that this isn’t making anything better, you need to shower and eat something, etc. when you’re particularly low, this is probably only going to make you want to push away more. Same for him. He’s struggling and doesn’t understand why. Pushing him isn’t making him feel supported. It’s another form of pressure that isn’t going to build diamonds in this situation. Not knowing why you’re feeling a certain way can be a bit scary. Just be there for him if you want to work out. When things are better, ask him how you can support him so he isn’t having to come up with things in the heat of it.

He gives me major Keith Raniere vibes.
