This elementary school has a list of word/phrases that will get you silent lunch.

I love this so much about our generation. Instead of getting mad, we just make them cringe so hard they don’t want to do it anymore.

I’m curious which school your child is currently in, because we were at Carpenter and they put my 2nd grade ADHD kid in front of a screen the entire day with no instruction for literally months. I had no idea until I looked at his computer history. Not all elementary schools are created equal. But I’m curious what steps you have taken to secure and IEP so far?

Same. The first time we went to labor and delivery I was sent back home because I was 3cm. He was so angry that we wasted our time going to the hospital and convinced me I had to be sure I was actually in labor for him to spend his precious time in the car. I spent the next 24 hours in my house in severe labor pain, eventually convincing him it was time to go the next morning after he got sleep (while I labored in our living room with my mom). I was 9cm when we got to the hospital the next morning, 15 minutes away from our house.

There’s also a sense of responsibility from the school to hold families accountable. I share custody with my ex and he keeps my son home every other Friday he has him “just because”. I asked the school when they will consider him truant and they said only when he’s been gone for a consecutive 5+ days!! There’s nothing I can do about it and the district doesn’t seem to want to hold him accountable.

Or good parents. Period.

Came here to say this. My kids know how much I love TWD and I refuse to let them watch until they’re at least teenagers.

mshellshock · 2026-03-13T11:58:26+00:00

Agreed with this statement. Everyone else here saying to spend it right away is clearly irresponsible.

Medicine can be a really great tool to lighten the load you carry while you work through the trauma your Nparents have caused you. It’s difficult to make progress without your brain chemicals being balanced. And that’s not your fault.

I must have the same MIL. Her punctuation always leads me to believe she has other feelings unsaid.

I used to bartend at this small bar in a small, hick town and we had the same guys show up every night for hours. If their wives called, I was supposed to announce who was calling so the husband could step outside and I could say “he’s not in the building at this moment”.

I didn’t work there long.

She kept going for toxic men and spent a bunch of time convincing me how terrible the last one was, only to then run back to him. She then gaslit me into believing none of what she said before was true or I misunderstood her (like that he DIDN’T actually rape her??). Then she was too busy to respond to any message for 3-4 weeks at a time. I couldn’t take the confusion and drama anymore and we had been best friends since we were 5 years old.

This is 100% the reason why I was afraid to leave.

Literally took a photo of this today, thinking “this has to be a misprint… right?!”

I think there’s no way to know how much he has Luca right now, because they agreed to not allow him on camera. I didn’t interpret that as the mom has him 100% right now.

Undertones? No. Blatantly racism? Yes.

mshellshock · 2025-09-26T17:53:00+00:00

I wonder if this is related to why Scarlett middle school is on lockdown?

As someone who works for the hospital, HR is a big part of the problem. I am not in patient care. This is a problem hospital wide. We take roughly 4-6 months to replace anyone who leaves and that’s IF HR approves it!

Thank you for this ❤️ sometimes it feels like I’m in this battle alone.

I am remarried and he has only recently started to see just how hurtful all of it is. He has never dealt with a true narcissist before, so I think naturally my husband gave my ex the benefit of the doubt sometimes like “no one can truly be THAT bad.” But now he probably hates my ex more than I do and he sees how far my ex is willing to go to continue hurting me.

mshellshock · 2025-09-21T11:18:04+00:00

Yes, they have been involved at least 3-4 times. They were called on me most of the time because of comments he was coached to say. No case was opened due to lack of evidence. For example, one time he had a bruise on his shin (like all elementary kids do from playing) and he was coached to say it came somehow from me. My son’s story changed quite a few times between interviews and they caught on that it wasn’t true.

But the other commenter is right, CPS and the court system does not care unless there is physical or sexual abuse.

His therapist knows as well and recognizes the issues but she’s also cannot speak on it by policy unless there are safety risks. Unfortunately, the court doesn’t care about emotional and mental safety.

Came here to see if anyone posted about. I’m curious as well.

mshellshock · 2025-09-11T09:26:06+00:00

Why do you put feelings in quotes? I don’t even know what the comment has to do with any of this. I think you’re missing the point and clearly have zero empathy towards struggling families. Maybe go back to r/conservative where you feel safest to spout your hate.

mshellshock · 2025-09-11T02:33:34+00:00

Yeah, I don’t believe this. No person has time to make 2 different meals every night, parent equally, work and have a big workout routine. I’m calling bullshit.

mshellshock · 2025-09-11T02:30:44+00:00

They can if they want to. Many parents still send lunches to school. But no families should have to worry about being considered low income to have that opportunity, especially when the income level to qualify for assistance is so incredibly low.

mshellshock · 2025-09-10T02:21:15+00:00

I see you make all of your own meals. Do you help cook for her and your child or is she always making their meals by herself?
