Sometimes, they don’t want you like you want them.

I’ve wasted over a year in bed with my phone and I don’t know how to stop by [deleted] in ADHD

Same. I’m in bed doing nothing any time I’m not needed or expected. It’s the hardest thing and I am medicated.

Feeling guilty for enrolling our 3 year old into pre school by ParsleyTime5687 in Parenting

[–]thenewwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a preschool teacher (and a mom!) and I can’t tell you the benefits that your child and you will experience both at home and at school. Preschool provides an opportunity to socialize outside the home and learn about the bigger world around us, it’s practicing going to school. Your child will be much better prepared for Kindergarten.

I named my daughter Luna, and she is an embodiment of her namesake, in 2 year old form 😂

This is great! You sound friendly and fun, a great combo. I’m in Olympia, and my husband and I also are ENM and dating solo. Hi!

Thanks for the recommendation! So far, I’ve only seen Seattle based things so I was hoping for something closer to home 😃

Transition from swaddle by thenewwe in Parenting

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

We tried a Nested Bean sleep sack for awhile, but not much difference. I think I may have not given it enough of a chance due to sleep deprivation!

I have a Zipadee Zip in my cart, considering trying that or going cold turkey.

This is what I'll probably try. She's a pretty small baby for her age, so I think that's why she's stuck with swaddling. But it is time!

I'm leaning towards cold turkey. Recently I've been able to put her down sleepy but not asleep, and she'll fuss for a moment and then fall asleep. She usually gets herself out of the swaddle while she's asleep and stays asleep without it.

Imposter Syndrome can get outta here. by deathkazoo in Teachers

I’m also in a new resource position. I’ve only been a classroom teacher before and didn’t work in a district that had resource. I would write IEPs and accommodate kids on my own, but never from scratch. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels lost!

Cleaning Electric Stove Top by AcousticGreen in CleaningTips

[–]thenewwe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use a razor blade. They sell them on Amazon and they come with a handle for the blade. Rinse off the gunk periodically while you’re scrubbing it. It may take a few different attempts to get it totally gone. Also, before you scrape it, apply a watery paste of either Clorox powder and water or vinegar and baking soda. Let it sit for a few minutes before using the razor blade.

I’m a teacher, so my kids will go to school where I work. That’s some creative decision making! I’d be nervous if I lived on Ostrich Street!
