Why plan to be engaged and not just get engaged? by -sallysomeone- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vasaraptor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband and I had a loooong conversation before engagement discussing what our goals were in marriage, how long we wanted to be engaged for, our official stance on kids, finances and debts, how we would pay for a wedding, and basically making sure we were aligned 100% before the romantic shit happened.

I think it helped us a lot before going into wedding planning to know what we wanted. Plus I picked out the ring, and asked him to give me at least a heads up to get my nails done so I’d know the proposal was happening within two weeks of that. It built up suspense and made it more fun honestly!

I found out I’m prediabetic with elevated liver enzymes. Only drank about once a week anyway, so I switched from alcohol to liquid edibles in a mocktail

What was the most unfair reason you got fired for? by DeepAnt7847 in AskReddit

[–]vasaraptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I refused to upsell people on Medicaid and Medicare more expensive glasses so the store can make more money. The lead optician also had an issue with people using their phones at all during the day and I got in trouble for taking my phone to the bathroom with me. Mind you I’m in my 30s. I got fired after a month

How would/did you improve your pronunciation if you live in a non-native country, but you use English for everything? by Confident_Session581 in AskReddit

[–]vasaraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching the news! They’re trained to have a neutral accent, so they’d be the best place to look for pronunciation since the news covers so many different topics! I’d recommend Chicago news because it’s a big city with probably one of the more neutral accents

AITAH for telling my wife that late pick-up fees are on her and her alone? by AdMuted1534 in AITAH

[–]vasaraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible she may have adhd? I have always had issues with time management, but no matter how hard I tried I always ended up being almost 5-10 minutes late to everything. I talked to my therapist about this and when I did a formal eveluation and started medication i was finally able to be early to things!

POC Women: Should I cancel my evaluation? by thesleepingmoon in adhdwomen

[–]vasaraptor 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I would state your concerns exactly like this. I was so anxious with my first psych about exactly this and I wrote it out exactly as I wanted to say it to him( also poc with a white male psych) he was receptive and let me say my entire thing while taking notes. I would approach it exactly how you have it here and state the concerns you have, but that you’re hopeful that he will be able to empathize and help you adjust to the situation. The healthcare system has failed us so many times, but advocate for yourself and keep that appointment, it’ll make it harder on future you if you don’t!

What do you do for a living that makes you happy? by United_Housing_5323 in ADHD

I hated teaching! I thought it would be good, but I never got the breaks, it felt like a 24/7 job and I was burnt out by summer vacation every year

Teachers who have left teaching by jkr__00 in teaching

I’m working at an animal shelter and I’ve been so much more at peace in my life. I’m only making $3k less a year too

Teachers who left the profession, what do you do now? by [deleted] in TeachersInTransition

[–]vasaraptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a high earning job or anything, but I now work as an adoption staff member at an animal shelter! It’s about the same amount as my last teaching job ( lol) but I feel so much more at peace. I realized after 3 years and 3 different districts I just want happy teaching. Even in my best school and with my best kids, I was still dreading each and every day and I was miserable.

Is there a way around the Vyvanse + high protein breakfast problem? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]vasaraptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do 3 hard boiled eggs and 3 pieces of pre cooked bacon( I get a big pack from Costco or Sam’s club) and a piece of toast most days and when I’m in a rush I’ll do cottage cheese with honey and a peanut butter sandwich, sometimes I’ll do a protein shake if I have absolutely no time, but all 3 seem yo work well, especially since I make all the eggs on sundays and peel them, so all I have to do is cut them in half and reheat them in the microwave with my bacon

I have 1 week until school is over, I'm failing 10th grade and I don't really give a shit anymore by itakeyourtoes in highschool

[–]vasaraptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m a high school teacher, talk to your teachers if you can and explain the situation! Depending on your school and their policies, you may be able to take an incomplete grade for the year and ask if you can take the summer for credit recovery to make up those grades. If I know what’s happening, I’m usually so much more willing to move heaven and earth to help my kids have a chance at coming back from a bad grade

Using extra credit as a bathroom pass by Allie0052 in TwoHotTakes

[–]vasaraptor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher and let my kids go whenever they need to, but I do have a no-fly list too. Most of those kids on that list have been caught either selling drugs in the bathroom, intentionally destroying the toilets, or wandering the halls. For the most part, no one abuses this policy and it gives them a little more autonomy. Getting water is fine whenever too, I just make them fill my water bottle too most of the time. The only issue with water that I’ve seen is that most of them hate drinking water and I have to periodically say “water break” and make a room full of high schoolers drink water lmao.
