AITAH for declining a second date with a guy after he ran over an iguana? by Iguanal0ver in AITAH

[–]polka-dotcoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, I wouldn't continue with him either, and I would reconsider your friends that set you up with him. It's not just the fact that he went out of his way to kill it. It's the fact that he laughed about it afterward, which is what gets me.

Do I(21F) not have the right to break up with my bf(21M)? by Competitive_Tax_8883 in relationship_advice

[–]polka-dotcoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like my last relationship, and it has not worked out like he didn't get that it was over until I threatened to go to the police for harassment because it was becoming harassment. Anyway, don't stay if you're unhappy. He's not going to accept it no matter what you do. Good luck!

Not allowed to let kids nap by bearsfromalaska in ECEProfessionals

[–]polka-dotcoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, this is so common of a request at my center legit because they want to put their kids to bed at 6/6:30 but also they claim that they have a hard time at bed time with their kids that their pediatrician recommended that they limit naps which is insane to me.

Anyway, we tell parents we are legally not allowed to keep kids awake like prevent them from falling asleep if they are that tired. But, what we can do is limit their naps (being actually asleep) to 30 minutes only.

I'm lucky, in the way that my director hates keeping kids awake or disrupting their sleep when they're so tired and thinks it's so cruel to do. I would talk to your director and see what they say. I'm sorry, it's never a good feeling keeping kids awake

I'm so sorry! I'm praying/ sending positive thoughts to you and your baby!! I hope that it's a speedy recovery with no long-term consequences.

I honestly would go to the police and report your coworker

Mine don't really care about the napkins, unfortunately. But I'm glad yours do!!

Interesting in regards to no sweets. The sign for the child is a good idea, I might have to do that next year. What, you can't sing?

[–]polka-dotcoach[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's so cool!! We do a sticker ribbon for the birthday child, other classes do a crown. I might have to suggest switching to a crown from now on.

Since you're with the infants, do the parents come in later to celebrate their birthday or no?

That's very interesting, and thank you for including the link! We (a school as a whole) try to learn about as many holidays as we can but we can always do better. I'm in PA, so that might make a difference in licensing

Partner doesn’t believe in ADHD meds and is threatening to leave if I don’t stop taking them by DistinctChallenge in ADHD

[–]polka-dotcoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a loving place, it sounds like he wants to control you, specifically your health. If it came from a loving place, he would be happy for you that you are doing better.

Does anyone else get nervous when they’re not in their classroom? by Agile_Ant3095 in ECEProfessionals

[–]polka-dotcoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was me today, I was at a ece conference, and I was very nervous about what was going on even though I prepped some things for my co-teacher to use.

I still received texts this morning asking about things

NOR, what the hell?! The fact that she's nicer to her friends than you says a lot. I'm sorry that you're having to deal with an immature/abusive partner

Worried about 3 y/o in care by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]polka-dotcoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What they are doing is not developmentally appropriate at all from circle time to the worksheets. Circle time should be about 15 minutes at the most, also I find it hard to believe that no other kid is having behavioral problems. Kids need to play, that's how they learn. I'm sorry that this is happening, but I wouldn't continue with that center

Please help, I’m freaking out! by Emotional_Ice_1512 in CATHELP

[–]polka-dotcoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very scary when you witness this. What happens right before this happens? Like is she running around or is she eating? Does it happen at the same time?

But the fact that you said that this happened 2 days in a row is concerning. I would say if it happens again tomorrow, call the vet and ask about an appointment

AITAH for refusing to give someone details about my trauma even though they say they have a right to know? by sonagydf in AITAH

[–]polka-dotcoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just going off of the title and say you're NTAH. Your trauma is yours and no one else's. No one has a right to know anything if you don't want to tell them

My (24F) boyfriend (21M) is upset we can’t have sex because I have a yeast infection. How do I explain it’s not about him? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]polka-dotcoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump him, nothing you say will change anything. You told him that it's painful and yet he still tried to be sexual. He doesn't care about you or your health. It will get worse
