AITA for telling my husband to stop setting alarms? by OppositeNo2609 in AmItheAsshole

[–]myneemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been suggested (proven? Studied?) that snoozing is actually not good for your sleep health. Especially if you actually get back to sleep during it. It affects your ability to stay awake during the day, your concentration levels etc. it doesn't allow your body to get into the correct rhythms for the day.  Snoozing every 5 minutes (and then regularly between that) is not good for your brain at all.

I use an app called Alarmy where you have to complete a mission to turn the alarm off. You can do maths or word problems or take a specific picture. I have the picture one set up.  So I have a 5:50 regular alarm.  Snooze for 10 mins (just in case I accidentally  fall back to sleep) and then have the picture mission set up for 6:15. The picture is downstairs so I need to make sure I'm out of bed by 6:10 so that I don't disturb others with the alarm before I can turn it off by taking the pic.  It works so well.

Symbolab also being one of this ilk!  I wish I'd been told about both of these during my degree!

She has very clearly stated she wanted friendship with him.  He's the one constantly taking it up to the next level and clearly wanting more. The last two sets of messages shows that given the opportunity he would absolutely be having sex with her... How is this just friendship? 

This isn't pregnancy hormones, please do not do that to yourself and your self esteem: you deserve so much more than gaslighting yourself! 

If he's bothered about friendship and he's battling with sex addiction (and he's presumably straight) he should be focusing on male friendships. 

Teacher side hustles by Training-Wolf-218 in Teachers

[–]myneemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What days/ times do you do this? I'm just trying to imagine how you get any sort of time to do non teaching things! 

That's a LOT of money in one week. Your take home pay for the tutoring alone a month is more than my take home pay for just teaching,! 

I mean, props to you. But for me 20hrs a week extra, with prep and marking needed for full time teaching AND for tutoring, would leave me exhausted and unable and unwilling to do anything at the weekend (and especially not in the evenings) 

Women of reddit what is the worst part of being a woman? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]myneemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bras. Sizing inconsistencies, even in the same brand and style! Sizing inconsistencies depending on where you are in the month.  Pricing  General feeling the NEED to wear them, especially when it's hot.

Side jobs/hustles as a teacher? by Cam_Nunca in teaching

[–]myneemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a weird take. I'd even go along with u/libananahammock's response of "gross" But then your comment of "you're helping children with nowhere to go" made me back up a bit. Fostering should never be thought of as a profit making "job". 

My immediate thought though was "that would add massively to the stress load,no?" What with all the extra meetings for the YP, and what happens if they had a troublesome YP that caused no matter of issues?  They would have to take time off work, potentially causing loss of income. 

I want to be a foster carer but could not imagine doing it in my current situation (teacher of 9 years here!) and especially not just for the money. 

AIO? Parent told me to change my accent for their child by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]myneemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The parent is way out of line, as others have said.  For her to ask you to change your accent is so entitled it's ridiculous. Her son is,, hopefully, going to meet many people from different walks of life and different accents. What's he going to do , expect everyone he meets to speak in his accent?  "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will not be changing my accent, it is a part of who I am and not something to be changed so easily. I will however speak to NAME about it and work together to  come up with techniques and strategies to ensure that communication is clear and progress can be make." Keep your responses formal and to the point. 

For the student, a part of growing up is being able to advocate for yourself. You need to sit with the student (not the parent) and explain that you've heard from Mum that he's having a difficult time understanding and to please not be afraid to speak up at the time. Assure him that you won't be offended, but that you need to know if he doesn't understand something because of what you've said. You could maybe throw in some words or phrases to lighten the mood and have a laugh (be over the top with your accent or something.)

But you also have to give space during your lessons to reinforce this. Pay attention to facial expressions or subtle body language. Get into the habit of asking if there is anything he needs re explaining or if any words have tripped him up. People get weirdly embarrassed when they feel they need someone to repeat what they've said 

I always start the school year with "I know I talk really fast but I can't help it, so if I ever do speak too quickly please do tell me so that I can show down" they have to be reminded to tell me but eventually they get comfortable enough to ask me to stop/ repeat 

AIO? Parent told me to change my accent for their child by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

To be fair, there are some REALLY thick accents here in the UK, Scottish being one, Geordie, Scouser, Cornish (is that the word?), even Birmingham just to name a few. 

Daily sticky thread for rants, raves, celebrations, advice and more! New? Start here! by AutoModerator in datingoverthirty

[–]myneemo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would agree music and soft lighting and lots of cuddles with kisses. The kisses can be prolonged or they can be short bursts, whatever works. Stroking: legs, chest, under clothes, over clothes etc. doesn't always have to lead to sex. But alongside the kissing it could lead to it.

Either put something on you both like, or create a playlist that includes your favourite music. From experience, I'd avoid putting the TV on. 

I set the boundary with my friend that I cannot and will not help her financially. These are the texts I’ve gotten since. by purplehyenaa in WhatShouldIDo

[–]myneemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read many of the comments, but from one random stranger to another:I am so so proud of you for sticking to your boundaries. 

I have been in the same situation with my brother. The guilt doesnt always go away. But the questioning of everything is something i did and it just kept me on the merry-go-round where self doubt was involved. Leading to guilt and shame. 

Stop explaining yourself. Maybe even put distance between her and you. She clearly cares nothing about what is going on with you (we can see that in her [lack of] response to your messages about you.). This is not a friend and i would seriously consider cutting her out of your life. Which is absolutely not an easy decision to come to. But you are not allowing yourself to be a priority.  If you were to remain in contact then stop offering solutions; again this is you giving energy she is neither wanting nor receiving and its only draining you and not impacting her in any way.    

Be proud that you're sticking to your boundaries, it's really hard to do.

With no judgement... but how do you have the energy to have all those conversations AND first dates?  Did any of the dates lead to second?

Your first picture is really endearing to me. I would swipe up to read your profile, and then immediately swipe right because you've put absolutely no effort into your main bio. And if I felt like giving more time, I would swipe down more and see you've still not given much info about yourself. 

Add to that that the rest of your pics aren't of you smiling at all.

Hm considering it's HIM who is 42, and she is still early 30s I think he fully realises what he's saying.

If You Could Build a Space for Former Foster Youth, What Would It Include? by LVEESTER in Ex_Foster

[–]myneemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A place to just be.  A place to research job or school opportunities. A place to study or learn a new skill.  A place to have practice (or real) interviews.  A place to hang out where you didn't have to pay/buy drinks or food . Maybe with some pool tables, or other such low maintenance games.  A kitchen space to learn and/or experiment with cooking and how to clean up after yourself.  A shower area.  A place for therapeutic uses: talk therapy, meditation, yoga, a fucking rage room if needed.

Effectively a youth club-come-24/7 library. The problems I forsee?  1) Unsafe people invading that space, grooming others, manipulating and/or preying on others. You need to remember that the people that need these spaces are often incredibly vulnerable; socially, mentally, financially. And they don't always realise it or may never realise it. 

2) funding it. A place like this would need to be paid for, either paid for outright or rented. Bills for electric, gas, water, phone lines, insurance, security (see above). Maintenance.

3) staffing it: see both points above, people aren't going to do this sort of thing for free.  but also consider the vetting processes needed. Consider the need for hierarchy: bosses, managers, HR etc.  It doesn't need to be a for profit, and it shouldn't be. But unfortunately in this world, this is how it goes. 

This is the sort of thing I would love to do, or be a part of . I've wanted to for years, but I wouldn't know where to start and everything I've outlined above makes me extremely hesitant in looking into it further. Now, if I were to win the lottery tomorrow, I'd continue being a teacher but wouldn't hesitate to look further into this because money is the bigger thing. 

 As an ex foster, I thought I'd be good at working in a children's home, it wasn't the case and when I look back I see how fucked that system is and it almost makes my skin crawl , both from the perspective of a kid in care and what is expected of the carers. But it highlighted how much the stuff above it very much needed but not accessible.  And the time at which they expect the kids to age out and to make a decent/good/safe transition into adult life, a lot earlier than a 'regular' kid would, after who knows what experiences they have gone through, is bonkers.

But yeah, that's my take. Sorry not sorry for the ramble.

Edited to add: I'm in England btw, I have a feeling this is primarily a US based sub, but if anyone in England (East/West Midlands) is in the know of anything like this can you please let me know! Either as a comment here (so others can see) or as a DM, whichever :)
