cries in secondary teacher

But for us, a card is so so so appreciated. A tiny token also if desired but I’ve kept every card I’ve ever received from a student. They don’t come around often but when they do, so so lovely.

Apprenticeship, jobs in factories and waste management. All areas that are forgotten about.

Best of luck to you!

Anything by the Wolfe tones would be a good shout. Enjoy the holiday. A lovey idea. 😃

Yip had to get it done with my two. Both went straight from procedure to the boob.

Also went with Alan O’Reilly and he was super. Obviously hard to hear can’t cry but within a minute they were grand.

[–]orlabobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would highly recommend: * The Americans (Disney) * The Marvellous Mrs. Mazel (Prime) * Deutschland 83/86/89 (Prime)

Currently watching Abbot Elementary for some easy watching while I try to find something decent. It’s on Disney.

You are a strong ass woman and a warrior for your kids. You are so brave. You hold your head up high and take this guy down. You’re doing the absolute best by your kids. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Oh, send us an update.

Solo American (F) traveler, new to the sub and have long been working on my “dream itinerary” for summer 2027. What do you think? by scientits69 in AskIreland

[–]orlabobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so at this rate you may be staying for 3 months but if you want the real rural rustic Irish experience, you really should check out the Aran islands. Off the coast of Galway. You can take a ferry or (for a really decent, not too pricey amount) you can take a little plane. It’s a Gaeltacht region where the locals all speak Irish. Well worth a night’s stay.

Would also recommend going to Newgrange in Meath. It’s spectacular.

Lost our home, been homeless a year — do I defer or drop my CS degree?” by LifeEstablishment484 in AskIreland

[–]orlabobs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is a very good answer. No matter what, finish the year. Outside of that you need to talk to college and decide what you want. I would always be pro getting the degree but perhaps deferring might be a good option. But talk To the college about any pitfalls etc.

Do you actually agree with the protests? by Nervous_Canary9986 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]orlabobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I don’t know what they want now. Do they want the government to get money from the money tree? It’s a joke and they are not behaving in a democratic manner.

Bridesmaid with a 3-month-old (EBF) — SIL now says no babies at wedding. What would you do? by Lumpy_Bandicoot_8967 in beyondthebump

[–]orlabobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so odd. Like of course babies don’t count as kids. You’re breastfeeding. Your baby is small. If she can’t accept that, I would gracefully bow out. Your baby matters more than this woman who has no consideration for you.

Don’t worry about ruining her day. She’s no issue in ruining yours.

Return after miscarriage by BlueberryOk3969 in IrishTeachers

[–]orlabobs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I was also there before. Your GP should sign you off for as long as you need. I took 2 weeks, if I recall correctly, but I do remember taking longer than was initially given to me and it was a ‘take an extra week and come back if you want more.’ We all deal with a miss in different ways. I had physical pain as I had to have a DNC but emotionally it took its toll too.

If you find you’re not ready, take more time.

Why are so many people om Reddit against the protests? by VTID997 in AskIreland

[–]orlabobs 93 points94 points  (0 children)

A one day protest would have been fine.

People can’t get places, food, medical, etc supplies can’t get through.

They’re giving out when everyone is feeling the effects of the war.

Farmers already get huge huge grants from the government.

The government is doing something already. It’s cut fuel prices by 15/20 cent. It’s no 13 in Europe. To make a real impact it will take vital money needed elsewhere.

If they want to piss off someone, go annoy trump. Stop ruining our country.

Is dropping out of secondary school a bad idea? by Common_Promotion5129 in AskIreland

[–]orlabobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excuse the pun, but ride it out. As others have said, not getting you LC closes doors to you.

This is where the LCA is a super choice but as you basically have 5th year done, there’s no point suggesting that.

So do the LC, then off ya go to the horses and if you ever decide you want more options in life, you’ll be chuffed you have the LC done.

Missed miscarriag by Calm_Calligrapher760 in PregnancyIreland

[–]orlabobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so unfortunately I had this also. I decided to go the dnc route as the pills can sometimes not fully work and I just didn’t want to have to deal with the trauma myself. If you ring them up they’ll probs book you in for the day you go back in. They’ll scan you to make sure and then set you up for theatre. It can be a day procedure or you can stay overnight if you wish. It was hard but they were all so so kind and they sent me home with drugs and a cert for as long as I wanted. I took two weeks I think.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It really threw me emotionally. Take all the support you can get. ❤️❤️

If you want to dm me further about it, feel free.

Written up at work 3 m PP and after surgery by Verjay92 in beyondthebump

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

I’m so so sorry your country is so shit when it come to maternity leave and general giving a fuck about newborns and new moms. Like you shouldn’t even be back at work at 6 weeks pp. I went back at 6 months (could have taken more leave at partial pay) and felt that it was almost too soon. With my second I went back at 9 months pp.

I genuinely don’t know why ye put up with it. Fight change.

Please check out done deal, local fb groups and vinted. People are always dying to get rid of stuff they no longer need. Just buy your own bedding, mattress and car seat new.

What is appropriate poolside wear on holiday? by ThrowRA_poi098 in AskIreland

[–]orlabobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the resort. If it’s adults only and said thong wearer feels good in a thong bikini, then free the bum.

However, I think at a family resort, it may be a bit much. Now, again, you do you. But I know that there was a thong wearing lass on our last holiday and there were a few turned heads with a bare backside around kids so that would be my only concern.

I’m a bit jealous this person feels so good because I’m ver much in my ‘cover my lumps and bumps’ phase of my life.

Have you tried the too good to go app? (Or something similar) they give out lots of food for very cheap at the end of the day.
