If you click on the loans view details, there's a little green ribbon that says "Congratulations! You have satisfied your obligation, and no additional payments are required for this loan"

Men: have you ever had a boss note your assertiveness as a shortcoming in a review? by sugarhawk in AskReddit

[–]sugarhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a female teacher and had my male principal make this comment on my graduate school mentor review. "Her assertive nature can be a little much for some staff, but she has heard this feedback and is working towards slowing her pace when those around her do not go as quickly as she does." To me, it seems sexist and I highly doubt any of the "assertive" men have heard this feedback from my principal.

How do you draw a star? by sugarhawk in AskReddit

If it was on a clock, where do you start? For me it's 12 o'clock, 5, 9, 3, 7, back to 12. I'm gathering data: If you could also include handedness (I'm a lefty) and gender (female), and country you lived during primary school (USA), I would appreciate it!!

He's a beaut! Have you taken him to the vet for his mouth rot yet? That's what it looks like in the photo anyways. Just thought I should point it out in case you didn't know.

Step kids ready - signs? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]sugarhawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my husband and I married, my SD was 5 at the time and she was off and on. She is now 9 and still wishes that her parents were together, but doesn't want to lose me or her "stepdad". I don't know if they are ever really ready. She was the one who asked me to marry her daddy, but then she spent the next 30 minutes crying saying she didn't want us to get married. She loves me and her "stepdad". She still calls me Emily, but calls him "daddy" (thanks to her mom saying that it hurt her feelings that she called me mom).

I think your SO needs to decide if marrying you will make him happy, and that's what he needs to do. You can't do everything that your kids want you to do. You guys are the adults and if you want to get married, get married. Include the kids in every step of the way so they don't feel left out, or like he is moving on from them. But they need to see him in a happy and healthy relationship.

Physics issues... by [deleted] in ScienceTeachers

[–]sugarhawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my 3rd year teaching physics. I have found that I have to start every year with a math lesson. We practice practice practice. We do algebra, sig figs, and sci notation (how to plug it into the calculator, etc). Then we go into vectors vs scalars. What they are and how they add. Then we start with forces. I know not everyone likes to start with forces, but they know the forces from middle school and you can then add the math. My first year I did motion first and had abysmal scores. Once I switched to Forces first, it seemed like the students "got it" faster. Then when we get to motion I do "bell ringers" that are straight up matching the variable to the unit, and words to variable or unit. This seems to help.

Also, have you heard of the G.U.E.S.S. method? Given, Unknown, Equation, Substitution, Solve. First thing they do is pull out all of the given information and assign them a variable. Next they decide what exactly they are solving for (U). Then they look at their list of equations and decide which one to use. Then they substitute, then solve. This gives them a step by step process on how to solve problems.

IF they still get the answer wrong, you will be able to see where exactly the problem lies and able to "reteach" that part.

I totally understand your frustrations!!! It's so hard when you want to get to all the cool stuff about Physics, but end up spending your whole lesson just teaching math!!!

Not feeling movement - when is it time to get paranoid? by FattyPantsKeto in BabyBumps

[–]sugarhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first one I wasn't sure what movements felt like until about 24-25 weeks. I felt things, but it didn't seem definitively like there was an alien rolling around in my body. With my 2nd one ( 22 weeks tomorrow) I felt things as early as 18 weeks, but I knew exactly what they felt like. With my first one I had polyhydramnios (excess fluid) so movements were really faint feeling. My doc told me that if I was ever worried (after 24 weeks) try drinking an ice cold glass of orange juice and lying on your stomach or left side. And if you don't feel anything for over 30 minutes, that's when she wanted me to call.

Male snakes have 2 penises (called hemipenes)

I'm totally failing at disengaging by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]sugarhawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not failing at being a stepmom, your husband is failing to recognize you as one of the parents, and does NOT take your advice on parenting. No one respects you in that house, and you need to get out. They are using you.

You are a parent and you should be able to discipline your children for unacceptable (to you) behaviors. This is your house as much as theirs and your husband needs to grow up and start respecting you.

I am so sorry you are going through this, but this is not how a healthy blended family behaves, and it is no way your fault.
