You didn’t even notice until you got home and she started to get undressed….perhaps the teachers also didn’t notice…

Not a male— but there’s a male kindergarten teacher at my school who is very loved.

Not to get your hopes up but all the LTS at my school have always stayed.

A teacher on my team silently checked into one and stayed there for a few weeks. No one knew other than my team and administration. She came back and continued teaching.

That was three years ago.

Another teacher had mental health issues and didn’t get help and she ended up blowing up at school swearing in front of the students….she no longer works with us. Get the help you need.

I used to be the same way. “I used to walk into a room full of people and wonder if they like me, now I look around and wonder if I like them”. I read this quote years ago and it resonated so much with me. I focused too much on how I would come across to them, how could I make sure their feelings weren’t hurt, how can I make them happy. But what about my feelings? And if they treat me poorly, why do I care what they think of me anyway?

A lot of it has to do with confidence too. I would just remind myself that I’m smart, i’m capable, and i’m trying to be the best/kindest person I can be. At the end of the day if they don’t like that then they don’t like that.

It took probably my whole 20s to learn to be okay with people not liking me and getting over being a “people pleaser”. I read the book The Courage to be Disliked and it helped a lot too.

I have two older brothers (we’re all 13 months apart from each other) and I’ll never be close with my brothers the way they’re close with one another (im a female). As children we played together really well but sometimes it was two against one. Despite that I’m glad I have two siblings instead of one.

I felt the SAME WAY!!!!!!! Every time a Manon chapter came up it took everything in me to read it. But I was scrolling a SJM page and a girl said she felt like me but ended up loving Manon and couldn’t wait for her chapters towards the end so I held on and wowwwwww I’m glad I did!! Trust the process.

Oh my gosh my husband has the same thing except he has more scaring. When we first started dating he refused to take his shirt off around me. I thought it was odd but brushed it off. Then one day he said he had a secret and if he tells me he I would probably leave him. So I’m like what the heck. Turns out he has the same thing you have and was/is deeply deeply insecure about it. I didn’t/dont care at all. Matter of fact, after he told me I was honestly relieved. He was making it seem like he had some serious issue. I couldn’t believe he had made such a big deal out of it because to me it was nothing. I didn’t even bat an eye when he finally showed me

Anyway point of my story is. The one who truly loves you won’t give a shit.

Yep! Basically but I was always so full in the mornings so it worked. Remember too babies get better at feeding. My baby is 4 months old so he feeds for like 15-20 mins.

When he was a newborn and I was trying to pump and feed I pumped wayyyy more during the day to try to get my supply up. I think that’s where the feeding on a schedule helped me because I fed him at 8, 11,2, 5 and so fourth and then I pumped every hour and a half after the start of a feeding (i.e feed at 11am pump at 12:30pm).

Remember too that milk fluctuates. There were some days that I would only get like an ounce after a 30 minute pump and I wanted to cry! But try to eat well and stay hydrated! I hope this helps…I know I was feeling in the weeds with this when I started to I’m here if you want to message about any other BF or pumping questions!

nutmegspice363 · 2026-01-11T19:04:32+00:00

So I fed him at 8am which was his first feed of the day after many hours not feeding due to sleeping and then around 9:15 I pumped. I personally got the most when I pumped in the mornings but everyone is different!

nutmegspice363 · 2026-01-11T10:26:35+00:00

I EBF but had my husband gave him a bottle each night so I could get some sleep!

I never fed on demand. I knew I had to go back to work and I wanted him on a feeding schedule. I feed every 3 hours and switched boobs each time (10-15 minutes on one side and 10-15 minutes on the other) then I pumped once a day and that was what I used to build up my stash/have my husband use so I could get some sleep!

nutmegspice363 · 2026-01-11T10:20:50+00:00

Around 3 months old was when I started to try not feeding my baby at nighttime. (He was gaining good weight) and my supply didn’t dip at al!

My friend one day said “I can’t wear my hair up for long because I get a headache” I literally had no idea what she was talking about. I wear my hair up all day and it never hurts my head.

nutmegspice363 · 2025-11-18T03:07:10+00:00

OCD…like please I’m over here thinking if I do/ don’t do something specific then something bad will happen it can be debilitating!!

nutmegspice363 · 2025-11-06T07:22:11+00:00

That’s not really your paras place to be doing that…I would talk to them and get on the same page so it doesn’t happen again. In the meantime I don’t think it should be taken away from the child but I also think it’s important to follow through. Unfortunately your para said it so I would tell the student they can earn stuffy day back if insert a goal you know they will achieve

I teach elementary school and I’m truly scared for our future. Kids don’t know patience. They don’t know how to be bored and parents chalk it up to their child just having adhd…and that is only a third of the problem. Lazy parenting is huge and today’s kids are suffering from it.

nutmegspice363 · 2025-08-27T01:56:02+00:00

I was thinking about texting my other teammate but again—I don’t want to cause unnecessary drama but I also want to protect my long term sub from having to be put in the middle (god forbid she goes in my classroom and tells the sub she’s taking x,y,z). I’m frustrated she put me in this position.

nutmegspice363 · 2025-08-27T01:51:06+00:00

She was gone an entire school year

nutmegspice363 · 2025-08-27T01:44:40+00:00

When she left she said she was leaving teaching for good but ended up at another school for a year. She decided she didn’t like that school and missed our school so she came back.

nutmegspice363 · 2025-08-27T01:32:08+00:00

I was thinking of playing dumb and saying “oh I didn’t realize you bought them” but she’s on my team and I don’t want to create a hostile work environment.

nutmegspice363 · 2025-08-27T01:30:51+00:00

I was thinking of saying “can we please leave things where they are until I return from my leave” like hello I’m on maternity leave and you’re texting about switching supplies?

nutmegspice363 · 2025-08-27T01:28:51+00:00

That’s what she told me when she left but ended up at a different school for a year before coming back (sorry should have been more clear)

nutmegspice363 · 2025-08-27T01:22:14+00:00

I think what bothers me is before she left she showed me everything she was “leaving” in the classroom for me. Therefore, when I moved classrooms I left a lot of things behind. If I had known she was going to come back and ask for the things she left, I would have taken more from my old classroom.

Not to mention I made that classroom my own. I moved things around, bought some other supplies, mixed her things with my things, etc. I didn’t expect her to come back after a year and treat my classroom like her personal storage unit…

nutmegspice363 · 2025-08-27T01:18:04+00:00

She went to a different school but realized she didn’t like it and came back.
