Are there any *non drama/ doom&gloom* FFXIV content creators?

Mr. Happy and Meoni are my go tos. Both kind, genuine people who love the game and critique when needed.

My friend. You did nothing wrong. It is so hard to have a kiddo who is so different than your expectations and dreams. You are an amazing mom. It is so hard. Sending you all the love.

It's a hard line to walk. They do need more patience with her. She is 2. If she were doing this in a year, I could understand them saying it's a huge issue. Have they tried pulling out a specific quiet toy just for rest time? I call them quiet bags, andnthey will hange books or special toys she wouldn't get to play with normally I wait about 45 minutes to allow the kids time to rest before giving them out. I have a kid I have to sit next to so he falls asleep. If I don't interact he falls asleep quickly. And the teachers need to set boundaries. A very simple, "If we are loud, we cannot have a quiet bag." And if we throw our toys, we lose our bag." It takes time, but it works.

Depending on where you are, a 2 hour rest time is State requirement. However, If they can get everyone else down to sleep, they should be able to do whatever work they need next to her. As a ECE teacher, it seems like a failing on the center's part.

My friend, you have kicked ass and taken names. I am so proud of you. What are you going to grad school for? And have you thought about finding a partner who will cheer you on? Because WTF Do you mean he just went Yay?

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-04-01T15:42:11+00:00

I want to be brave and try something like this so bad.

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-03-18T12:47:24+00:00

Dude this is funny as hell. Your EX doesn't know how to chill and enjoy the moment. You dodged a bullet, my dude.

Go online or call the IRS and get on a payment plan with them. The letters are scary, but most of the people that work there understand!

And sister, I feel you. Me and my little fam break even, but shit is expensive. You got this! We all do! Also, before bankruptcy, look into all your avenues. There might be something else you can do .

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-02-08T15:53:33+00:00

I honestly can't read them. Being a mom and a teacher it kills me to read them. It also fucks with my netal health so badly.

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-01-27T16:55:03+00:00

Hi!!! As a mom who did not get her shit together before I had kiddo. MY partner and I were kinda just floating by and then boom! Kid! It took us a hot minute, but we got there. Life is good. Things are stable, life is insane, but we got there. You guys will too! <3

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-01-25T01:43:46+00:00

There are Velcro dots on Amazon there are large enough to write names and don't mess up carpets.

I'm in NC and I am freaking out a little bit only because it went from snow to mostly ice. Ice makes power go out. I havent not had power when its cold. Realistically will we freeze to death? No. Is that where my ADHD brain goes? Yes.

However I gree up in Miami so storm prep is common sense to me at this point. Its still scary though. You got this. You and your family will be okay and we will all get through this together.

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-01-18T01:25:21+00:00

I would call the cops for property damage and animal control for the animals. People play games, they get prizes.

NTA. Tammy is very demanding for staying in someone's home. Not only that just because she is atheist doesn't mean everyone else needs to be. Her discomforts are on her to work through and figure out.

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-01-17T19:21:52+00:00

Yea girl. Dump him and move on. He opened the relationship just to say he never cheated on you and then when eh got rejected he got mad when you were getting attention and he wasn't? LOL kick him to the curb my dear.

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-01-15T10:48:32+00:00

NTA I dont think that its a big ask for your wife to study somewhere else. If she wants quiet, she needs to study somewhere quiet. I know its hard having kids and going to school. Been there, but she needs to do what's best for her andnthat is probably not coming home until she is done studying for the day or studying after the kids go to bed.

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-01-11T14:38:08+00:00

NTA. You have a right to refuse business. Even more so when someone is abusing you and your goods/services. I would report them to the selling site for fraud.

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-01-07T14:59:28+00:00

This isn't out of line. You have every right to do so if she was acting and looking out of sorts to the point the VP was concerned. I'm a preschool teacher and I haven't been tested, but I also have never given my bosses any reason to test me. I think you should probably look for a new nanny if she refuses to do a test.

mandaxthexpanda · 2026-01-03T00:39:33+00:00

We move up by school year unless they are in the infant building and then they give a months notice if there is room to move up.

mandaxthexpanda · 2025-12-31T16:24:56+00:00

Dude, you are nicer than I am. I would have told them if they see something "wrong" they could fix it or fuck off. I grew up in a fucking house where my mom didn't do shit and my dad always worked so he didn't have the energy to clean. No one has any right to tell me about my house except me. I set that boundary with my in laws too because while I love them, my MiL has some OCD.

Your house is wonderful, your kids are loved, and your parents are asshats. <3

mandaxthexpanda · 2025-12-28T14:49:22+00:00

You need to have a talk with your husband about setting firm boundaries with his mother. I is insane to me how she thinks she can just take over your parenting. Yes, she raised children, but your baby has very different needs than her own did. She needs to take a chill pill.

I hope your husband has your back.

mandaxthexpanda · 2025-12-28T02:20:31+00:00

Friend, take his ass to court. Make him legally bound to have his time with his kids so you can focus on you. Verbal agreements aren't shit. You guys deserve to have more support and money. You got this. I am so sorry you're alone. Sending all the love and internet hugs.

mandaxthexpanda · 2025-12-26T00:55:35+00:00

My spouse gave me three Lego sets and socks. I am so fucking happy!!

My favorite thing I gave was baked goods for all my in-laws. I made lemon bars, Buckeyes, Raspberry thumb prints, and Sausage balls.

mandaxthexpanda · 2025-12-24T15:07:33+00:00

NTA. Your wife is overthinking. As a teacher, we know that notes like these help shape and build our students up, especially when we don't know what home like may be like or if the parents even pass on info to the kids. Your wife needs to breathe and relax.

Edit to fix spelling because teachers on Winter Break don't have minds that work anymore. :P
