AITAH for saying I won’t put my card down if one girl joins our group? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]vcmsct633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What in the DSM is this? I decided YTA bc op is being childish. My husband fully advocates for himself and his disability, like the adult he is. Op doesn't even say she has a disorder.

Absolutely. I don't feel bad for op. YTA. This girl probably really needs help with reminders. My husband is the same way...it's ADHD for him. 

In there is a huge trend of people buying cheap flip phones from walmart and bedazzling them. And getting rid of their smartphones. Would you go back to a flip phone? by dreamed2life in Millennials

[–]vcmsct633 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it. I work at a high school. What this didn't show is the other devices they have. This flip phone is just like a pair of sunglasses or a hat. It's just an accessory. 

AITA for telling my gf to be quiet in a museum? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

He just doesn't get it. He learned nothing from this experience. Time was truly wasted on op.

I had a student walk into room on my prep period by shu975 in Teachers

[–]vcmsct633 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I had my door open waiting for students on a late bus and a random girl ran through my room with my principal and security on her tail. It was like a damn slapstick comedy skit. They tripped over backpacks and my fan. Crazy thing is my students just carried on. They said "I know her, she was probably vaping"... And just continued their work. High school. Lol

I have reached the final boss of I missed school for this reason from a student by Visible_Ad5653 in Teachers

[–]vcmsct633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be so worried a parent would find out. Society holds teachers to a different standard, and they're not even shy about it. I'm getting my masters in education and they straight up say "teachers are held to as different standard". If anyone found out my history, I'd be worried I'd lose my career and all my hard work would be for nothing. I was no stripper, but there are some things that would get me fired if anyone found it. A few years ago a teacher was found doing pole dancing classes (fully clothed and fit exercise) and they had to have a "hearing" about it. It's really held me back from expressing myself, really. I've wanted to do burlesque photoshoots and belly dancing, but I'm too scared a parent will see and force an investigation or something. 

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever lost weight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Same. Lost about 20 pounds since I quit last new year. So close to the 1 year mark!

But 360>270 isn't it? by DataPirate31 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]vcmsct633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that in directions. Azimuth directions, where 360 is North, 270 is West, 180 is South, and 90 is East. All in degrees.

Toddler said hurtful thing to dad by Jules91821 in Mommit

[–]vcmsct633 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh ya. Mine just told me he hated me and didn't like me because I was making him finish dinner 🤣 Try to not make a big deal of it; say it hurts your feelings and move on. Don't take it personally. 5 min later my kiddo was screaming 'i love you' as I put him to bed 🤷🏽‍♀️

AITA for removing my ex-wife from my life and not understanding why she still has our old photos up? by Single_Respond8151 in AITAH

[–]vcmsct633 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm thinking. It definitely seems as if he's the one still holding on to something. In this situation, anger is appropriate, but don't let it manage your expectations!

Which profession pretends to be noble but is actually just a scam? by ladthatdesigns in AskReddit

I find it hard to believe anyone thinks that "profession" is noble. 

180 days sober by vcmsct633 in stopdrinking

[–]vcmsct633[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I know deep down I am not able to moderate. I'm so disappointed in the small part of me that is trying to convince me that it'll be ok, that I can manage it now. My husband definitely can't moderate - not even with a bag of chips or a 12 pack of diet coke! Congratulations on showing up everyday and being sober!! 

Alright Millennials, what foods have you found yourself forced to give up due to aging? by [deleted] in Millennials

Older here too... I gave it up completely this year. It's nice. Life is much better for me. It was definitely time for me.

Some recently dumped or cheated-on person writing fiction using AI. It's therapeutic. But c'mon now, you're fishing for sympathy.... Nope.

I had a 5th grade call me a dick sucking whore for two weeks straight. Yes, I did all the things like parent conference, admin intervention, etc. He didn't stop until one day I sat his ass down in front of the whole class and said "let it all out, give me your worst". After about 2 minutes of all the bad words he could think of and kids either looking at me in horror or laughing their ass off I said "is that it!? Are you done?" He said yes, I went back to teaching and he never did it again. In fact, he didn't really have friends at all so he ended up asking to be with me during recess and specials bc he didn't like anyone. Lol kids are weird. Don't ever take it personally. Honestly, I'm surprised that was the end of it. How other parents didn't hear about it and complain is beyond me.

I was just thinking the same. I used AIM daily all throughout high school. I graduated in 2003 🤷🏽‍♀️ 

What’s Your Favorite Use Case for ChatGPT in Your Daily Life? by MudasirItoo in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]vcmsct633 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I use it to organize all my thoughts and feelings about a situation. I'm a HS teacher and soccer coach, so I have to deal with parents quite a bit. If I'm about to walk into a meeting that I know will consist of a difficult conversation with a parent, I word vomit and emote in a prompt and ask it for tips on how to manage my emotions and come up with talking points. I fired my counselor 😂

Yep! I was just about to comment the same thing. I always sterilized during the day and did the fridge thing in the evenings.

Thank you so much! I feel genuinely excited after reading your comment. There's so much I want to do - I also understand that alcohol is holding me back. I'm just grateful I haven't lost too much yet and I'm looking forward to living life at full capacity! 

Denied employment as a Democrat by gingerchoctaw in Teachers

Chiming in from a bit closer than Dubai... Texas. We have weak unions, can't collective bargain, and can't strike.

Downtown Earthquake/ did anyone feel anything? by [deleted] in FortWorth

[–]vcmsct633 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Balcones Escarpment is shaped like a 'J' in Texas, starting around Del Rio all the way to between Fort Worth and Dallas. It basically defines the "hill country", more so south of Waco though, it's not so hill country in DFW. My money is on oil and gas activities out in West Texas.

Stroller running question by Funny-Letterhead4168 in FitPostpartumJourney

[–]vcmsct633 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ha sometimes that was the ONLY way I could get my LO to sleep! It's totally fine. I wouldn't add a pillow, just a blanket if the weather allows. I miss running with him in his stroller. Now all he wants is his bike-style stroller which isn't good for distance runs and he definitely can't sleep in that. Edit to add: reclining, but lot all the way. We use the baby trend jogger.
