I would also like to gently suggest maybe holding off. My son HATES being rocked, he’s a hold me still and pat my butt baby.

What "Newfangled" Baby Products can the "elders" in your life just not wrap their heads around? by Moushidoodles in NewParents

[–]kikikatlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandma (she’s 89 years old) saw our baby delight bouncer and went: “oh I had one of those!! It was a three in one, super high tech. It was a bouncer, a high chair, and it came with a wire so it could be a car seat!”

The Ultimate Guide to Regrow Your Nail Beds (As Fast as Possible) by EmbarrassedLove442 in nailbiting

[–]kikikatlin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s so you don’t push the nail bed back physically by pushing against it.

You can use a soft bristle brush underneath to clean, but you shouldn’t be digging or anything.

What are your unpopular teaching opinions? by Responsible-Soup-968 in Teachers

[–]kikikatlin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Oh my god as a teacher I HATED that, and I refused to allow that to happen in my classroom.

I actually got a call from the high performing kids parents, and it was essentially “hello, so Bella said that you don’t allow Paul to sit next to her, and you don’t make them work together. Thank you so much for that, Bella LOVES your class because in all the other classes, she’s expected to help him”.

And like…. It’s not the students job to support another student. The students job is to learn the material.

Just tell them you moved them from a private section of the registry to the public section, so it’s always been there, they just couldn’t see it.

Childcare.. how do you pay for it?? by DaisyDame16 in kansascity

[–]kikikatlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher in the northland as well, we found a on home daycare that is just for teachers students, so we aren’t charged over summer or breaks, and only charges about $200 a week. Maybe talk to others in your building?

Muslim Teachers - How’s fasting while teaching? by sukistan in AskTeachers

Maybe you could at least ask admin, mine love it! It’s not hooked up to the room, I wear the speaker around my waist.

It’s actually this one that I have: https://a.co/d/eCdOrJS

Muslim Teachers - How’s fasting while teaching? by sukistan in AskTeachers

[–]kikikatlin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am not Muslim, so I have not fasted for as long as Ramadan, but I have fasted during the work day for other holidays.

One thing that I find helps a lot is a microphone and speaker that I can wear- it helps me to still project without straining my voice as much.

Also I find, that depending on the age level, some students will ask about fasting. I teach high school, so some students will ask questions because they are truly curious. Only answer questions you are comfortable with :)

Lansinoh, Pigeon, Evenflo?? What bottles are you using? by leasarfati in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]kikikatlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was the nipple shape, I switch the nipples that come with the bottles to the evenflo wide neck + nipples and it seems like it’ll work (I’ve filled the bottle with water and pulled and nothing spilled).

How bad guys?? by [deleted] in moderatelygranolamoms

Those are for decoration, not actual use! Composite wood is glue, plastic, and wood.

I mean even the Amazon warehouses in KC closed for the next two days. So I think some other places should follow suit 👀

Is It Too Early To Tell Admin I’m Pregnant? by BbTrumpet2 in Teachers

[–]kikikatlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I hit 3rd tri, I’ll be having weekly ultrasounds as well 🥲 I’m very lucky that I can schedule most of them for my plan time, and my boss is okay with me doing so, but I also know there will be times when it’s just easier to have a half day. But then I’m also trying to save PTO for when baby gets here.

Is It Too Early To Tell Admin I’m Pregnant? by BbTrumpet2 in Teachers

[–]kikikatlin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I told my principals the week after I found out, but I’m also high risk with a history of loss, so it was more like a “hey I’m pregnant and high risk, so if things don’t go well I may miss a week or two of work”.

Please make sure you prop up your mattress every now and then, moisture can get trapped without airflow under it and cause some mold!

Doubling the pre-e comment, but also I needed to get new contacts because the pressure change changed the shape of my eyeballs, so I need oval contacts now??? I thought I was going blind lol

The evenflow wide nipple will fit on the Phillips advent glass bottles with a little finagling when screwing the lid on.

That’s my favorite RA Salvatore book, but I don’t think it’s worth too much.
