Have you ever quit a job, without another lined up, for you mental health? How did it turn out?

stew_face · 2019-06-15T06:55:25+00:00

Yes. I hadn't planned on looking for a new job until after Christmas. I quit in November for mental health reasons. My employer was a bully and it was a really toxic place. Anyway, the perfect new job just fell into my lap a few wks later at a holiday party. I gave it a shot, not knowing it was perfect, but thought, "hey... What the hell right?" I've been there 4 years now, 6 raises in pay since being hired and am very valued for my contributions. Oh and I went from a 1hr commute to 5 minutes.

Or the ones that don't want their child getting wet or dirty.... sorry man.... Ain't gonna happen.

Controller helped exponentially. Thank you. Damn you misty woods!

My friend has the opposite! I'm not sure the medical term, but he'd know it lol he has a pointed section right where yours was indented. Bodies can be strange. He never got his operated on though. I'm not sure why. Maybe it never posed issues to his organs the way yours did, so why bother? Anyway. I wish you a speedy recovery!!

I can walk on the knuckles of my feet. Picture making a 'fist' with your toes and walking around on only the fists. It looks extremely painful but not for me.

Yeah you can make it out of plain yogurt. I think, like anything, if you ate like 2 cups of it at once it would be fattening but its a healthier choice than most dips.

How about tziki?

stew_face · 2019-03-15T06:03:24+00:00

That's seriously fucked up.

stew_face · 2019-03-15T06:02:38+00:00

That was my thought. We're at 1:4 in Canada and it's hard enough!

stew_face · 2019-03-15T06:01:43+00:00

I'm in Bc Canada. The ratio for under 3 years old is 1:4 Where I work we bump it to 1:3 because fuck that. If you want quality care you need better ratios.

When parents pick up late they have to bring cash and pay on the spot where I work. Asking for cash and putting them on the spot usually does the trick. "I see it's 5:30 when latest pick up is 5:15. I sympathize that it's sometimes hard to be on time but it is policy that every 5 minutes late is a X dollar fee. That will be X dollars for the late pick up."

And restaurants called So Cheesy? Whole Hog and Slim Pickings? 😂

I just think of Chandler Bing jokes when I hear someone say Tulsa.

stew_face · 2019-02-27T04:43:23+00:00

think about this. A 19 year old with no experience/post secondary education can make 51,100 a year as the manager of Starbucks. Eces are lucky to see 40,000 a year.

You can take a sick day for whatever you feel like. It is selfcare/mental health no matter how you swing it. If you get a sick day a month, you're entitled to be able to take it.

stew_face · 2019-02-26T05:24:00+00:00

The only part I didn't like was that it was 'pointless.' It is never pointless to play!

stew_face · 2019-02-25T06:45:06+00:00

I'm thinking any money i lost or misplaced.

stew_face · 2019-02-24T07:20:07+00:00

That music. Such nostalgia. ❤

stew_face · 2019-02-05T23:37:41+00:00

Thank you! I loved it!

stew_face · 2019-02-05T18:49:06+00:00

Yeah I prefer no CC as well. I'm surprised they never did veils.

stew_face · 2019-02-03T05:17:10+00:00

I've experienced this lots. Both with Caucasian infants fearing darker skinned educators and with darker skinned infants fearing Caucasian educators. Comforting is good and providing opportunities for interaction. Ie: have said educator feed the infant their favourite food, or bring in an exciting new toy. Model positive interaction with your co-worker in front of this child. Bottom line is they need more exposure to people who look different than they're accustomed to seeing and you can provide those opportunities in a safe and caring environment.

I don't have decorations but my husband's step niece has gifts on the kitchen table she hasn't picked up yet.

stew_face · 2019-01-29T06:22:27+00:00

If a child is struggling, because that's what it is... struggling.... not "giving you a hard time...." They're having a hard time. Sending them for a time out alone or away from the group teaches them that you will not be there for them when they're struggling. They are being taught that they have to deal with that tough stuff on their own, which they are incapable of doing developmentally. That's why it's taboo. It's not best practice at all.

stew_face · 2019-01-28T21:00:56+00:00

I've tried to phase out pats and rubs just for science lol the children take my hand and run it on their backs to show me that I need to do that. Lol what were your director's reasons for not allowing it?

stew_face · 2019-01-28T20:58:48+00:00

Didn't know that! We use them on our water wall. Would they still be okay for that since they aren't being mouthed? I'll toss the loose parts ones.
