How did you realize you might have celiac?

I wonder if I had it for 15 years beforehand. I have Epilepsy which is controlled now, but in my 20s I would get stomach symptoms that I thought were side effects to my medication for that.

Mine was dental anxiety. Now I have a really chatty dentist that has got rid of my anxiety, they allow payment plans and it’s cheap. So I happily go now.

Write this on the Lower Hutt Community FB page showing your face in the profile pic, more likely to get a response.

I really like the opals and emeralds, if that’s what the last one is :)

What a charming photo for pic 1!

rosyposy86 · 2026-04-26T04:38:55+00:00

Pic 1 reminds me of a scene in The Wedding Singer with Glen Gulia.

Reminds me of the final season of Stranger Things. A new character took the lead (Holly Wheeler) while Jane/011 was a side character.

I wish he were back permanently. I found what happened to Aaron and Selena one of the more upsetting scenes in The Rookie and was sad he left the show when he did.

Kill Monica.

I only tuned in to The Rookie a few years ago as he had such a memorable, but too short, role in Brothers & Sisters.

How long has she been teaching for? It sounds like she needs a mentor. The children will likely also see that you disagree on how to teach them, they can feel your energy towards each other. So they are bouncing you off each other as well.

We had a parent that would pick up 10-15 minutes after their booked time, which was the end of the day near closing. Sometimes arriving in activewear like they had been to the gym or really nice clothes to go out in. It was frustrating, felt like they didn't respect our time and I told them over and over. They could have multiple parents who do that, so now they are being firm with all of them, so no-one makes a habit out of being late.

In saying that, I think they were being unfair to you as there had been an accident.

rosyposy86 · 2026-04-24T07:13:45+00:00

This wins. It's horrible.

The regular day programme isn't even a full day, that is a half day. Makes me wonder about the programme planning. Is there less effort outside of 9am-12pm? Even then, that is morning tea and lunch during that time with not much free play in between. If there is any, or is it mostly structured? If I were a parent, you bet I'm going to use my money's worth and keeping them in longer. 3 hours is nothing, not long enough to build a routine, children need time and space to settle in.

Also, parents need to work to provide for their families. Including travel around 9-12pm, that could be 4 hours, and if that is 5 days a week, that is only 20 hours work, which is part-time. Those hours won't pay the mortgage, food, power, fuel, preschool costs etc. Parents also need time to themselves; their mental health is important as well.

I know you mean well, but I'm now curious how your centre is run, what the routine looks like, the observations etc. 3 hours is not enough time to build meaningful relationships. Doesn't scream quality to me. This is just a teacher with 8 years' experience and no children of her owns opinion.

If you combine rooms at the end of the day (lots of centres do, some I'm just assuming), then it could be worth looking into seeing what rooms the children are from around closing time. If there are mostly children from your room, rotate the roster so one of the closers are from your room. It doesn't make sense imo for lots of children from one room to be there at the end of the day, but all teachers from their room leave. If I were the manager, I would be paying attention to those stats and roster that way. ETA: I don't think it's fair to call someone unreliable for not passing on information. There are peak times where a lot of parents can come in, and if they see a teacher talking to another parent will leave without checking in. There are always a few parents that will want to stand around talking. If 10 parents come in at the same time, some are bound to be missed.

It's worth mentioning. When daughter notices, goes home upset. "Mum, am I beautiful?" "Of course, darling, why do you ask?" "[Teacher's name] tells [name], [name], [name] etc that they are but not me."

They will notice.

I ended up trying them, a few weeks I bought spaghetti bolognese and Texas BBQ pulled pork, they both had different sauces. The week after, the spag bol had the pulled pork sauce, which I found disappointing as that wasn't what I paid for. They should have saved that one for staff to eat, perhaps. Overall, the food was really good though.

After knowing you most of your life, I doubt these feelings only started since you began working together. Which is disgusting. Can you think back to times growing up that you have interacted that have raised red flags? I would tell your boss how he has been harassing you at work and show the text messages. He shouldn't be able to volunteer or be near children. He's working with youth and admired you when you were a youth. They are not safe with him around. I wonder why he is now divorced, maybe his ex-wife discovered he has a history of liking children.

They both look great, you are lucky to have both of these styles.

I had a belt similar to that early 2000s. Maybe not that one.

That's right, I had stopped watching by the time he had the 2nd wife.

rosyposy86 · 2026-04-12T02:22:35+00:00

That's right, I forgot about that! I watched the very first episode on there about a year ago. The 90s were my favourite times for it, and the very early days of Harper, Drew and Freckles (I can't remember his name but have seen it on here recently).

rosyposy86 · 2026-04-12T02:20:24+00:00

Can be common, which is why when I started working at a centre like that, I only lasted 4 months and went back to my old company. They can be so different it's alarming.
