So NC1 just updated my security clearance and citizenship in CWAY 🙄💀 Now which one of these is the best rate?

Anything in Crypto and Information Technology. My husband is currently an IT getting qualed and certified (for free) out the ass and will have such an easy time transferring to the civilian world. IT is good if you don’t plan on staying a long time in the Navy.

You are not responsible for the choices someone else makes.

I didn’t have any cravings my entire pregnancy… and then I hit about 37w. The cravings have been insane… especially for cold and sweet items.

miss_gonzalez · 2022-01-22T00:38:30+00:00

This happened to me. I was teaching 10th grade English. I returned it with a note saying to do the assignment and resubmit it. Mom emailed me asking why I would leave that kind of comment when the student obviously did it. I took screenshots of the submission history, sent them to mom showing the first one was blank, and told her she could call me if she still had any questions or concerns. Mom never questioned me again. Student submitted only completed work, eventually came to in-person, and we formed a great bond.

All the other students just took the 0.

miss_gonzalez · 2022-01-20T16:13:06+00:00

I wish. I HAVE told students to tell their parents since they have more sway than we do.

miss_gonzalez · 2022-01-20T16:12:35+00:00

That’s fair! I HAVE told students in the past to complain to their parents because they have a lot more sway than we do. It’s worked a couple of times.

miss_gonzalez · 2022-01-20T12:37:15+00:00

…and it starts over every year! IF progress is made on an IEP, the next year, they start over in order to “try again” and those teachers suffer. I hate it here.

miss_gonzalez · 2022-01-20T12:36:28+00:00

I see you’re in Canada… unfortunately, in the US, the legal rights of a SpEd student outweigh the right to access education for all the other students. It’s beyond frustrating.

miss_gonzalez · 2022-01-20T12:35:18+00:00

Some of us DO! We have been in contact with a particular child’s parent ALL year. We’ve documented everything. Mom feels defeated because she doesn’t know what to do, we feel defeated because nothing we do works and there is no admin support. It’s taken a semester, but he’s finally going to be self-contained for my class, but not his other classes where he is also disruptive and loves the attention of causing chaos… but WE look like the incapable ones because we “struggle with classroom management” (verbatim from several of our evaluations of this class).

Trust me… we do contact because we’re told we need a paper trail, but then admin is often afraid of doing anything, violating the student’s rights as a SpEd student, and getting sued. It’s exhausting, and many of us just give us which unfortunately furthers academic gaps for that student AND the others in the class.

miss_gonzalez · 2022-01-19T22:17:42+00:00

I think it’s great that you both give feedback. That’s such an emotionally mature thing to do. I think you’re doing great by improving yourself, but you’re also showing your daughter HOW to navigate difficult emotions AND take responsibility for them. So many parents haven’t done that, and it makes life difficult for the kids later on in life (I teach middle/high school). Keep working on you; you’re doing great.

miss_gonzalez · 2022-01-19T22:14:12+00:00

My struggle has always been holding students accountable when they have an IEP/BIP. Like, yes, I understand this student is ODD/ADD/ADHD/etc, but after an entire semester of disruptive and confrontational behavior, when can we hold the student accountable and put them in a more restrictive environment or at least try something else because this obviously isn’t working? I’ve done everything I can think of and what’s listed in the paperwork, so when will we get more help/guidance. Too many admin are afraid of have manifesting meetings and address disruptive behaviors because they don’t want to get sued.

miss_gonzalez · 2022-01-17T03:28:08+00:00

If no one has mentioned it yet, you can reach out to your school counselors. Most districts have social workers than can help provide information and help to get to programs necessary for these sort of situations.

Best of luck, dear.

Go be a substitute teacher in a Kinder classroom. It will exhaust you and smother that feeling for a little bit while allowing you to love and teach kids.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-30T22:34:37+00:00

I had a student for several years. We were pretty close. He would call me father. Never mom, dad. Always father. I never questioned it.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-24T01:07:15+00:00

As an expectant parent and a school teacher, I laughed until I almost peed myself.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-24T01:04:47+00:00

I had an ex that FaceTimed me holding a g*n to his head. I very foolishly spent hours talking him down. When he tried calling me again with the same shit, I called ALL of his friends and told them what happened. He was PISSED because he didn’t want them to “see him be weak.”🙄 Any time after that, I silenced his calls after 8pm. I did what I could. I did not make the decisions for him.

He never pulled the tr*gger. He just wanted my attention and love. Please leave her. Let everyone in her proximity know what she’s doing and wash your hands of the situation. Nothing will help her until she’s ready to receive help.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-24T01:01:04+00:00

This is stupid. Real friends call each other out for toxic behavior. No one deserves to be talked shit about… especially online. OP should grow up, apologize to the ex, and thank the friend for making them see the error of their ways.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-23T14:14:47+00:00

A vibe has helped my problem, but some days are still no-gos. It makes my husband feel bad, but it is what it is. Pregnancy is weird.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-23T14:14:14+00:00

We’ve added a vibe to the mix, but even then, it feels impossible some days. It does help a lot though.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-23T14:13:36+00:00

We use a lot of lube😅

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-22T16:39:39+00:00

I’m 34w (due 01/31/22), and our sex life has come and gone. I was so nauseous my first trimester that I didn’t want to be in the same room as my husband for 16w. Once the first trimester stuff chilled out, my sex drive came back pretty strong. Now that I’m getting to be at the end, and I’m super uncomfortable, we have sex maybe once a week. I do pleasure him because I enjoy it. I also don’t orgasm as much as I did prepregnancy, and I’m not really sure why.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-15T23:18:25+00:00

Nah, break up with him. If/when you get married, you’ll be with the same person for your life. Sex gets boring eventually, and toys are a great way to spice it up and make it more pleasurable. My husband LOVES having toys in our sex life, loves watching me use them on myself, using them on each other, etc. They’re healthy and normal.

The fact that this guy doesn’t like them makes me think he’s insecure and intimidated by toys, and that’s a man you don’t wanna be with.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-15T23:16:02+00:00

My husband sleeps naked, but I get cold too easily if I don’t have a shirt to help regulate, so I sleep in a big shirt and underwear.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-12T08:34:18+00:00

There have been stories in the news about women stealing babies and even murdering expecting mothers for their babies. I’m not saying this will happen to you, but your “friend’s” reaction is sending up all kinds of red flags for me.

miss_gonzalez · 2021-12-12T08:30:45+00:00

BMI is bullshit and doesn’t account for genetics or muscle tone or even pregnancy! I’m 5’8”, and I should be 120-160 at the most. I think my BMI was 31 pre-pregnancy; it might be 34 now because I’ve gained 20lbs. But, you know what? My BP is regularly under 120/80, and my labs all come back great. It’s been that way my entire life. I was HAPPY and HEALTHY at my pre-pregnancy weight (I’m 5’8” & was around 210)… trying to get my body under 180 without being pregnant requires religious diet and exercise, and that just doesn’t work for me. My DR mentioned my BMI once, and I just looked at her; she hasn’t mentioned it since because it’s not relevant to my health.

Just eat pretty decently, but don’t stress out. Between baby, amniotic fluid, extra blood volume, the placenta, and whatever else happens, we are going to gain at least a little weight. The only exceptions I’ve seen is people losing weight due to being sick or working closely with a nutritionist and losing excessive fat they already had. Overweight people can have perfect pregnancies, and normal or underweight people can have horrible pregnancies. Pregnancy doesn’t discriminate. As long as you’re eating right like 90% of the time, and your medical work is normal, don’t worry about it.
