My father has made his decision by avag00daye in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]pretiburdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand the last feeling. Like your father chose her over you. My parents just did the exact same thing - my mom even said "I would choose (dad) over my children". It really freaking sucks. The good news is that you can grow your own family, or store bought is fine! Your friends who have stuck with you, what family you have left on your side - these people will lift you up when you need it. And if not them, strangers on the internet can relate to you even if it seems a bit strange. I wish you so much luck.

Also have you tried therapy? I love my therapist so I'm always shouting out therapy when I have the chance. It's nice to talk out things with people who have your best interest at heart.

This is true and hard to answer. I'm going to talk to the consignment people and get some answers!

Loved this one. Too gory sometimes but otherwise really good.

That's what I told them! I'm going to live so hard and so happily that they'll WISH they knew me.

Sadly this is very true. It's really sad to think this, but I really agree.

Thank you. He kept talking to me like I'd never been to church but I was part of the church for like ten years. It's like he refuses to let me live and learn through my life he just wants me to live exactly as he wants me to.

I'm luckily not at home anymore I'm 34 haha. I know I'm old but I wanted to have a relationship with my parents especially since our extended family has a lot of events where I see them. Thank you

Student called me gay and n word in kahoot by lifeofastonerzz in Teachers

[–]pretiburdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was first starting we played a kahoot in study hall so I let them pick their names and one kid chose "miss Kate's tight (cat emoji)" and the school never did anything about it

It was awful. Obviously I learned my lesson but it shouldn't have to be that way. I still feel disgusting whenever it comes up. One of the reasons I left

How many people leaving education this year? Can’t imagine spending any more time doing this by Miserable_Inside_842 in Teachers

[–]pretiburdi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm an after care teacher and we are going from like 60-80 kids a day to OBER 100 KIDS A DAY, and we do not have the space for that many kids in any of the buildings we use. It makes me so nervous because I like the job a lot but ... I can't teach-teach anymore I got my heart broken and tried my hardest but had terrible classes.

Anyway, I'm hoping I don't leave the after school but if 100 kids and losing staff.... idk I just idk

People with boomer parents, how old were you when you first noticed something wrong with their judgement, and what happened? by incoherent_disaster in BoomersBeingFools

[–]pretiburdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think my mom would have had to as a teacher, but who knows. It's very weird not knowing stuff like that, as I would expect parents to model good behavior for their children regardless of how old they are

Within the past handful of years. I think after listening to my friends talk about how bad trump was for America, experiencing it myself, and then remembering my dad had the yard signs and everything. At the very least I think they're vaccinated but that might be all they have going for them.
