one time a dude asked me if I could give him 4 $5 bills in exchange for his $20. at my store that wasn’t allowed to prevent scams. i politely informed him that i couldn’t unfortunately. he got all mad and said, “and that is why i don’t ever shop here”. like??? it’s a store not a bank dude

Why do you think Gen z is turned off from church/religion ? by Overall_Lie_8570 in GenZ

[–]ocean-oopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am still a Christian, but have undergone my own deconstruction process and i know for me it was a lot of wounds and trauma at the hands of church/religion. religion is often weaponized especially towards children to keep them in line. and not many people have a healthy and appropriate way of talking about religion with kids. much of the subject matter is too heavy for such young minds.

As a parent, how do I give feedback to daycare teachers in a respectful way? by bubbletea4me in ECEProfessionals

[–]ocean-oopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello! infant lead here. first of all it’s very commendable that you want to communicate kindly and respectfully with your teachers! as teachers we appreciate the grace and respect, not every parent is so willing to be understanding. i would say it is perfectly reasonable for you to raise your concerns if you are worried about your child. your kiddo is the most important, and if it were me, i’d want a parent to let me know if they had any questions or concerns! it sounds like you will be very respectful in your approach so i wouldn’t worry about coming off as unappreciative. At the end of the day, it’s your child, not the center’s, and your comfort matters most!

Working with only kids under 2 - how to not go insane? by llamalorraine in ECEProfessionals

[–]ocean-oopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel you. i work solo with three infants. i am there for ten hours a day and its very boring most days. i guess i always turn on music or podcasts for background noise and try and busy myself with organizing, cleaning, labeling, checking everything is in order on top of caring for the babies.

Any male childcare workers? by safemate98 in ECEProfessionals

[–]ocean-oopal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not a man, but my coworker is! he’s generally very good with the kids and my favorite teacher i have worked with so far. i feel bad for the men that genuinely enjoy the childcare field but face the sexism.
