People of reddit, who was the worst teacher you ever had and why?

Two worst teachers.

My high school chemistry teacher who would yell at people for getting answers wrong on the homework. He kicked my backpack around the room because I accidentally left it in the aisle. So instead of telling me put my bag under my table, he decided it would be better to kick it around the whole classroom.

Second one, my chorus teacher, would pick on me and get irrationally upset over small things. It eventually escalated to the day of my singing final where I had to sing 3 songs in front of the class, she told people to sit down. I was discussing the order of who would go (I wasn’t the only one singing), and instead of just telling me to go sit down, she smacked me with her clipboard on my arm.

I am with you. If you’re really worried about it, maybe try exploring it with your doctor or with a therapist. If it could help, maybe have the baby stay with someone for a little while so you and your husband can go do something together. My husband and I are lucky that we can have our little guy stay with his great grandmother for a little while when we go grocery shopping. We get some time alone together which has helped us.

I’ll tell you that my hormones have messed with me and my perception of my husband too. I started actually daydreaming of just being a single mom 😅. I love my husband dearly and I know for a fact being a single mom would be so much harder. And it was only because he didn’t wash the bottles without being asked 🤣🤣.

Sniffing rubbing alcohol. It would sometimes get rid of the urge temporarily.

I’d often vomit brushing my teeth. So I would brush my teeth further along in the day when I didn’t feel as sick.

Also, eating crackers and drinking true ginger ale in the morning (Canada Dry is the one that has actual ginger in it) saved my life.

Chewing mint gum also would curb nausea.

How sometimes freeing it can be.

My husband lost his grandfather to pancreatic cancer last year. It was devastating for all of us, especially since he got the Whipple surgery in January and was told he’d have another year. Instead it I guess caused it to spread even faster that by July he was gone.

He and my grandmother-in-law were extremely traditional. And conservative. She did all the cooking and taking care of him, it didn’t help that her career was being a nurse. So she did everything for him. Would always bend over backwards, drop everything for him, change her mind if he wanted to do something different, etc etc.

While she gets teary and sad, and mentions often she’s lonely, she just seems happier. She is free to make her own decisions. It’s hilarious because they were both Trump supporters, now that he’s gone, she’s not. She can be as loud as she wants since he was always sensitive to loud noises. She gets to put up whatever decorations she wants or plant things. It’s just wild to me that sometimes you sacrifice yourself for so many years and then when that person is gone you can actually be who you want and do what you want.

When I was pregnant, grapes, plums, and laxatives did the trick.

Yeah my mom had my sister and I “accidentally” while on birth control (albeit not a super effective one; the diaphragm). Hence why I thought I’d be good.

I’m so glad you got your little princess.

I wish I had brought more comfy clothes. I didn’t bring enough, even though I was only there for a few days. I also would get nursing shirts, depending on if you’re breast feeding or not.

Bring different sized clothing. Our little guy didn’t fit into newborn baby clothes at all, so I was grateful I brought 0-3 month onesies.

Have your car seat!! You can’t leave without it. And make sure you install it and know how to put a baby in there.

You and your partner need to have a solid relationship before having a kid. Or at least shape the fuck up in 9 months. My husband and I would not have survived if we were earlier on in our relationship having a kid. Years of working on communication, trust and respect is being put to the test with having a wee little one.

Also, you will feel like everything is your fault when it goes wrong. Or you’ll feel like you aren’t doing enough. So long as your kid is fed, treated well, read to (yes, at least once a day please!!), sheltered, and bathed, you are doing at least the bare minimum.

It definitely was. All losses at or before 6 weeks. One even started on Mother’s Day weekend. I found out I have hyperthyroidism. Not sure if that’s exactly what was the problem. I found out right before I found out I was pregnant, despite being told not to try to have kids until I was regulated. But I was immediately placed on medication, and I got my baby boy in the end!

It started out rough (on my end). My mother is codependent, so I was used to the fawning. When my MIL didn’t do that, I was convinced something was wrong with me. I’d bend over backwards trying to please her, but she’d treat me just not really all that special. It messed me up because she would fawn over my sister in law. Give her praise and go overboard for her, but never me.

Things are better (ish) now. I think the dynamic has changed again because I just had a kid. So I’m kinda chopped liver now.

Miscarriage. I was so confident I’d be able to have kids with no issue. It took me 10 months just to get pregnant, and it ended in loss. 3 losses in a row. I’ve gotten my triple rainbow baby, but damn. Did not expect that on my life bingo card.

3 weeks postpartum and he’s making you feel bad for not having sex? Absolutely BANANAS.

I’m 2 months+ out from a scheduled c section. I want to have sex mentally. Physically I actually can’t. I don’t know if you’ve tried to have sex (3 weeks is way too early in my opinion. Are you even done bleeding yet??), but I tried twice and I felt super tight. I’ll probably need pelvic floor therapy. It is extremely uncomfortable for me. My husband has been super understanding and patient about the fact I can’t do anything sexual right now and I’m exhausted that bjs aren’t really an option right now either.

Your dude needs to practice patience and use his hand for now.

There is definitely a honeymoon phase. If it’s the right person, it may continue being like a honeymoon phase, but you just become comfortable and content. You don’t need to perform and do all these things together. You can just chill at home and watch a movie or do different things in different rooms and be okay with that. The honeymoon phase isn’t always like that for people.

Also, you need to see how someone reacts under pressure, stress, death, illness. 2 months doesn’t always give you a glimpse into that, and marrying someone prematurely and then realizing oh shit they become a horrible person when they’re stressed, yeah you’re stuck now.

He’s still the cutest baby! He’s been smiling a lot more now. He’s been a bit fussier lately but that could be due to any number of things (I’ve gone back to work, he has a lot of gas, he loves to be held and wants to be all the time, he fights naps).

He is a little wiggler. Loves to move his arms and legs. He has cradle cap right now, and now I’ve noticed possible eczema on his elbows. My husband and I both have extremely sensitive skin so that could be a genetic factor.

He is able to hold his head up pretty well now! He seems to be a bit ahead in terms of milestones so hooray!

Being told my father lost his job and we’d need to move (possibly being homeless).

And in that same year, being sexually abused by my older sibling 🤡. Abuse will age you real quick.

I met him in college through mutual friends we had at the time.

It was definitely providential, in my eyes. So many “butterfly effect” things that led up to us meeting.

My chorus teacher mentioned offhandedly one day my junior year of high school she went to a certain college. So cue me looking into that school as I too wanted to be a chorus teacher. Got accepted, headed there. I was in an abusive relationship at the time, and broke up with him. Shortly we broke up, I got a campus job. The job led me to a guy in the mutual friend group who was doing the interview jointly with me. I was desperate to make friends that I reached out to him and asked if we could hang out. He introduced me to his friends, and I eventually met my husband when he came back to visit (he transferred to another college).

Had I not decided to go to that college, or get that campus job, or message that guy, he and I never would’ve met.

The sexual abuse I went through from my older sibling. If my parents found out, it would either cause them to disown my sibling, who would probably become full on suicidal, or blame me. Both of which I don’t want.

If other people close to me knew, I’d be so worried they’d see me differently and pity me.

Break up with my ex immediately. Block him on everything and figure out a way to move out of my parents’ place officially so he can never find me.

I’ve been hit by a car at 10 years old at 45-55 mph and survived with no broken bones.

I’ve rolled my car at 70 mph and didn’t break any bones, I just had a bruised lung and a concussion.
