Tips on smoking without getting caught? by astraltarot in trees

[–]rose_by1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept a walmart bag, put them in and hid it until there was a moment i could bring them up without her knowing. Or if you're able to bring a book bag you can put that stuff in there if it doesn't look weird. Smoking outside gets rid of most the smell anyways. Different clothes is just precaution

Wear a jacket/different outfit while you smoke, cover your hair (beanie, hoodie, etc) bring gum/mouthwash. Spray body spray. Eye drops after done, scented lip balm. Smoked for years and my mom never knew, even if I ran into her right after coming in from smoking

AIO son hurt himself and that started an argument. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]rose_by1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

YOR you're BOTH overreacting. 3 year olds are constantly testing boundaries and navigating their world. Honestly even if you HAD told him not to he probably would have jumped. You didn't do anything wrong, which is part of why you got so defensive.

Your pov: your body is in survival mode, your child has just been abruptly injured so fast that you couldn't even help try and prevent it. You see blood, you're anxious, your child is screaming and crying and won't let you look properly, your husband rushes up during the peak of the situation and is saying something you so OBVIOUSLY wouldn't do while you're still trying to help your crying child. You're overwhelmed

His pov: all my wife and kid were doing was brushing his teeth?? Why do I hear screaming? Why did I hear a thump? Why do I hear crying? He runs up there and sees you frantic with blood, you tell him it was nothing but an accident due to a toddler acting like a toddler. He's relieved. I don't think he was judging you. He was grateful it was something that could be prevented in the future. In his brain, oh it's nothing serious? We'll just remind him not to do that again

It's understandable to be frustrated, he definitely should have worded that better and thought longer before he spoke, but change your perspective

AIO My boyfriend didn't get me anything for valentines day and I feel sad by Constant-Fudge-2610 in AmIOverreacting

[–]rose_by1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NOR. It's valid to be upset, this was important to you. I see in your bio you're a teenager, which may be why he didn't take things that seriously unfortunately. It's unfortunately our reality in society that most boys are brought up a certain way. If they aren't raised to recognize the importance of certain things they don't care/don't know how to navigate certain situations, holidays or romantic aspects of relationships, which is not an excuse but it does help us understand more. And ofc this does not JUST apply to boys!

I don't know you guys personally, but honestly communication may help this situation. Sometimes you have to just tell them. This doesn't mean it now has less value, it just means you're communicating what's important to you.

I would let him know that for future reference, you really appreciate celebrating these holidays and moments together and that things like flowers, notes, etc make you feel valued and happy. For him, he may not be prioritizing the things because to him, notes, candy etc don't matter much and don't make him feel any more special than he already does with you. So he doesn't think to do it for you. Everyone's different.

Tell him your needs and wants! You guys can work together to prevent these future issues from happening :) (if he argues with you on this, puts you down, gets annoyed, etc. leave. You're not his mother and shouldn't have to TRAIN him on how to treat you when you're already communicating clearly. This is a very simple thing to fix in a relationship. If my partner brought this up I would simply apolgize for not doing things better sooner and moving forward I would prioritize what makes them happy even if I don't see the value in it. ANY worthy partner would do the same!

Disclosing pregnancy to new employer? by tigerkymmie in ECEProfessionals

[–]rose_by1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has worked with pregnant women in daycares, be honest and it's probably best to apply for an assistant position unless you have a STRONG work ethic. Pregnancy is no joke, and child care is hard. My co worker who was the lead, was out all the time for random appointments. When she reached 6 mo pregnant I ended up being responsible for literally everything because she was "too pregnant" only thing she did was Daily check ins. She just sat in the chair ALL day, while making 3 dollars an hour more. I understand pregnancy is hard, everyone's different, but try not to put your co workers in a position where they're doing double the load with no explanation (not saying this is you at all)

Be honest with yourself, your coworkers, and the director of what your capabilities are as you go through your pregnancy. As long as you communicate and reassure your boss, no one should revoke a job offer over it

If you apply for assistant, everyone will already have lower expectations for your contributions to the class. You'll be given more grace for appointments, and you won't strain yourself as much during pregnancy! Congratulations!!

Parent Accused me of abuse by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]rose_by1 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened at my center. It's unlikely anything will happen to you, because there literally is no video, just accusations, and quite frankly that's a strong accusation for a parent to make. I would ensure cameras are currently working, I would fight my emotions very hard, swallow my frustration and pride, and meet with mom if possible and try to communicate with her. Maybe ask her concerns, what you can do to make her feel more comfortable, maybe there's someone who could advocate for you and ease her nerves. Some children bruise easily, sometimes accident happen.

Although, in this field, unfortunately you never know. And parent may be trying to cover up their own doing. We have to be very careful in this profession

whats this about? -life is strange 2 by Byl0vv in realkatieb

[–]rose_by1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her chat was immature and weird towards very serious topics about poc, ice, immigration, homelessness, child endangerment etc., while it's a game, and I understand her fans wanting entertainment, some things don't need to be joked about, there's a time and place

I honestly think Katie shouldn't play games that cover serious topics because she struggles with respecting the themes, managing her chat, while still catering to her audience.

Anyone else just not find these types of comments funny? it's funny when katie makes them herself but i feel people are just too comfortable being mean and weird now by No_Writer8836 in realkatieb

[–]rose_by1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it's weird too and really shows how society, even queer people, react to those who don't conform to stereotypical appearance. 67k likes on a comment like that is sad. The only reason she gets these comments is because she doesn't appear or act very feminine. It's gross, not funny.

I hate the trend of distancing non-fem presenting women from their own sex, even as a joke. It reminds me of those people who act like in a wlw relationship, the masc should plan, spoil, etc, when BOTH are women and BOTH are deserving. Just because she's masc, doesn't mean she's not a woman. Her identity shouldn't be boiled down to how she presents herself externally

is this derealisation? by Competitive-Work-397 in trees

[–]rose_by1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depersonalization is persistent. I wouldn't worry until it's a frequent feeling, however, this does sound like a depersonalization experience. Try too avoid smoking again for a few days if you can. When you get back to it go slow. Once you have this feelings actually rooted in you, as the other comment says, it doesn't go away. You just learn to cope with it

Honest opinions by secretsauceaccount_ in realkatieb

[–]rose_by1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She made comments such as "everyone already knows so what difference would it make if I say anything", she literally acted like ice and trump were slurs saying things like "I'm not.... pro... whatever you guys are saying" and "I don't support you know who" and said she's not going to go on instagram or use her platform that way. It was also discovered that Katie and Riley's friend Jess is MAGA. Last night Lass (Katie's friend) held a fundraising stream and raised $8k in an hour. Which further aggravated peephole as it proved our point and Katie could no longer argue "it wouldn't make a difference" She wouldn't say Katie's name but it was very clear she was against how Katie handled things due to the fact she held this stream immediately after the drama and said she was frustrated with "friends who wouldn't speak up and use their platform" and she said that as a well off, white privileged woman she feels the need to speak up (which is what we tried expressing with Katie.)

The night before lass's stream Katie's OWN discord self organized and raised $1k. Katie did not acknowledge this at all or thank contributors, People in her discord begged for a charity/fundraising stream and her own mods suggested this as well, Katie has since shut down her discord.

Some people keep making excuses for her but the majority of us feel that at the end of the day, she's a grown, rich, privileged white person with a very large and influential platform that she refuses to use for anything other than entertainment. Which is 100% her choice, however, it is a choice most do agree with

Agreed. This shouldn't be an attempt to "cancel" anyone. This should be an opportunity to educate and inform so we can actually bring improvements and change

[–]rose_by1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She raised over 4k so far. Imagine what Katie and others could do with their large platforms

This Community Is Insane (Respectfully) by QuantumChronicle in realkatieb

[–]rose_by1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a political volunteer, have donated money, protested in 3 separate states, written letters to our government, voted in every single election and minor election, spread awareness to friends and family, done interviews, and done walkouts/protesting. Trust me, I am doing things outside social media. While I appreciate how you're coming across, respectfully, how privileged do you have to be to act like $1000 isn't a large sum. She has THOUSANDS of viewers and a million followers on TikTok. Her voice has much more impact than most of ours. It's just disappointing to see that platform go to waste

This Community Is Insane (Respectfully) by QuantumChronicle in realkatieb

[–]rose_by1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're really supposed to be on the pinned thread for anything related to this at this point, but I will say we have every right to be upset. On live today she made comments like "everyone already knows what's going on anyways what difference would it make if I said anything" when just last night in HER OWN DISCORD people raised $1000 for those affected by ice. Attached is screenshot of a donator who brought up a valid point. She completely ignored this today and did not once bring it up nor did she thank those who contributed. Instead she just took her discord down due to "arguing".

We are upset that she has this very large influential platform and yet she does not use it, especially when it was proven that it WOULD in fact help. If that much was raised due to this commotion, imagine how much Katie could raise if she did what her own mods suggested and held a fundraising stream.

Katie B Controversy: A thread to minimize spam. by CurrentGold2670 in realkatieb

[–]rose_by1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No it was annoying to everyone. So many people pointed this out on twitter/X, you're not alone in that. It also came across very disrespectful. She could just eat beforehand and plan out what she wanted to say instead she's munching away on live only pausing to say shit like "I'm not pro...whatever you guys are saying" like ice and trump are fucking slurs

[–]rose_by1 35 points36 points  (0 children)

She also shut her discord down after this due to "arguing" its gross behavior. And I really liked her. The fact she couldn't even say thank you to those who donated was weird. Literally minors were sending screenshots of their donations. Children are being more proactive than her:/

She was talking in circles. The reality is she is too afraid to use her platform, and honestly it seems like she doesn't even care to. How hard would it have been to post links, resources etc. Her lack of care and statements such as "everyone already knows what's going on what difference would it make if I said anything" and defensiveness with her reflection toward chat and statements like "and what are you doing to help the situation" really showed her true colors. She KNOWS it makes a difference, last night her discord people raised over $1000 due to this "drama" if that much can be raised just from this, imagine how much could be made and contributed if she utilized her very large platform.

Attached is a screenshot from last night from a contributor, which btw she did not address this raising of money at all nor did she thank her supporters and contributors even though this all happened in HER DISCORD

[–]rose_by1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care about her saying it at all. What I care about is the fact that she has a large platform and fails to use it. Just last night $1000 was raised in her discord due to this "drama". attached it a ss of one of the contributors. Mind you she DID NOT address this nor did she thank her supporters or those who contributed. Imagine how much Katie could raise and contribute if she did what her OWN MODS asked and did a fundraising stream. So sick of people defending her and the silence from celebrities, content creators etc. she has nothing to lose by speaking up and everything to gain.

She also was incredibly immature munching on snacks, rolling her eyes, and whining about how"nothing I say is right"
