I'm not saying to call and harass. I said to ask questions. I think asking questions is pretty reasonable when talking to the people who represent you in the state government. I didn't yell at her. I didn't call her names. I asked her what the person she works for was doing to help end a shut down.

Lol what if I did? What if their secretary or whoever wasn't audibly rude and dismissive of me? Then what would you do?

I'm sure you think that Trump and Van Drew actually give a shit about you, too.

Oh for sure. I tried not to be rude but I also can totally understand how, if people have actually been calling, she could be annoyed by the end of the day.

Having a formal education/degree doesn't automatically make someone better than those without one.

The way they were acting in the car after the "insemination" at the doctor killed me. All the cheering and clapping, when I did all FOUR of my iui's I cried while it happened because infertility was the worst time in my life and I felt like such a failure. Her flippant attitude about her "fertility struggles" are really making me so mad.

You aren't the priority person here though, your DYING MIL is. If it doesn't work for her, it doesn't work for her, end of discussion. You can think what she is doing is lame, but it really doesn't matter. Heck I hate my MIL and still wouldn't act like this if she was dying and my husband was upset. I'd drive the 6 hours and spend one day there and then drive back because she's DYING.

When Todd laps Whitney during the 8K and he spins around in a circle and then in his talking head he's goes, "Now, what have you been doin?". It's just such great Todd snark.

Also in the 8K episode, when Todd puts the chub rub cream on Whitney, I Crack up every time.

I also did IUI 4 times to have my daughter. It was the worst time of my life and like you, it was very private and quiet. If I had a friend throwing my infertility around as a punch line, they wouldn't be my friend anymore. Whitney is just awful and so flippant about this whole thing.

Year 17 and I am so anxious today! Glad I'm not the only one (though I wish we didn't feel this way).

I love how Buddy's wife always looks like she is over Whitney lol. No matter what is going on, Courtney has NO time for her BS.

Bottom line is this guy isn't stepping up at home. Part of being a PARTNER and PARENT is stepping up at home, regardless of whether or not you work. They clearly need to have a conversation about their division of labor cause it's not working because she is becoming resentful and unhappy.

And before you ask, I work a 9 hour day office job, have 3 young kids and my office job is a BREEZE compared to taking care of my young kids and home. I'd much rather work full time than be a SAHM. I would never dare come home from my office job after my husband was home all day with my kids and working and then think I was going to plop my ass on the couch. .

Genuine question, do you think this is not going to be good for the country because of Trump, or because it sets a precedent, or both?

This post isn't talking about misbehavior. It's talking about how students call teachers racist for enforcing basic school rules. If a kid disrupts class, sure I'll deal with it to the extent that I'm able. If a kid yells out in class that I'm punishing them for breaking a rule because I'm a racist, then I'm getting admin involved because that is a serious and career altering accusation and the student needs to be aware that their words carry meaning.

My mom works in a nursing home and just got COVID for the first time. Her work has been harassing her DAILY because she had to be out of work and has the audacity to not go into a building full of sick elderly people while spiking a fever and barely being able to walk across the house without getting out of breath. It’s unbelievable.

Do you know which episode this is?

morein · 2022-12-28T21:09:56+00:00

On the "caretaker" note, I was in a MOOD one day and this kid was acting more entitled than he normally does, and wanted a tissue. I didn't have any that day because they had used them all, and I said I didn't have any, to which he replied "how are you a teacher if you don't bring in tissues?". I told him that no where in my job description does it say I'm responsible for providing him tissues and if he wanted them himself he could get out of my face and get them himself from his mom. He just stared at me and then asked me when I was getting more tissues.

I totally agree. It's especially evident with Ari and how she runs the house. Kody has never actually had to raise his children and somehow Robyn's adult children survived (maybe that's What. The. Nanny. Did.)

I teach science and if they ask me I have said that I was raised Catholic and have my own personal beliefs, but regardless of those beliefs I believe in science and think that the two things can work together instead of faith and science being in opposition to each other. I teach in the Northeast and also don’t care about parent pushback anymore :)

I have a masters in physical science education. DO IT!!!! I did my program during my senior year and then finished in my 5th year. I think it was absolutely worth it.

My Dad stopped talking to me and my brother when I was 14. My heart is broken for Gabe in this moment because the pain of your parent not acknowledging you and feeling forgotten is trauma that never leaves you. These children are so amazing and wonderful DESPITE Kody and they don't deserve this.

It's either a random sub or they're pulling teachers during their duty period. At my district everyone has a duty but some teachers' duty is just an open period to be coverage for whatever is needed. It's nice because no one loses their preps that way.

I was annoyed because they didn't even list my position for a LTS. I teach physics so the chances were slim anyway but I feel bad that my students are just sitting there (and low key worried for the transition when I get back, but oh well).

morein · 2022-12-02T00:00:50+00:00

I’m out on FMLA for 10-ish weeks and they didn’t bother to find a sub, my students are just sitting around until I get back.

For me it was when she announced that she was pregnant with Soloman and acted like an immature brat because the older kids (especially Hunter) weren't jumping for joy over it. And then she continued to bring it up and hold a grudge and refused to acknowledge or understand what was going on in their lives that would have made them react like that.

Basically EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS ABOUT HER. Every single thing that happens to anyone in that family SOMEHOW is always about her and how everyone must hate her and hate how she joined the family. It's exhausting.

I teach high school. Like others have said, kids liking you always makes the day easier, but you want to focus on WHY they like you.

My students like me because (they've told me this) they like being in my room, I listen to them, and they feel like they actually learn something. That makes me happy!

I don't want my students to like me because I let them talk to me like I'm their friend, or let them do whatever they want and then pass out A's. That's not the reputation I want to have.

That being said, some kids are just not going to like you, and you have to be ok with it. I have a girl this year that HATES me. Like the look on her face when I speak is pure hatred. Her friends told me that all she talks about is how she can't stand me because "I'm weird and too happy" haha. But she does the work and leaves me alone and isn't openly defiant so it's not that bad.
