I’m literally looking for this season (DC too lol) everywhere And I can’t find it!!!
Best I got is finding episode 5 and only episode 5.
Does anyone know where to watch it? PLSS I BEG
First year in ECE. I’m primarily with toddlers and occasionally with pre-k!
Of course my favorite part is the children, bonding with them and teaching them!
However, many aspects of the job is a lot more harder than I anticipated. Silly me, I know.
One thing that kinda bothers me is the practice of calling parents for injuries. Regardless of the situation, I’m always sweating bullets lol. But one thing I noticed is that if a child has a mark from a conflict (which happens at the toddler range) we are told to NOT tell the truth during the calls. We have to fib and say it was an accident, the kid accidentally did this or that…
I know I’m not supposed to say “y fought with f” but it can’t even be a “toddler got pushed down”
Idk? I hate lying in general and this gives me the ick. Is this the norm in the field?
I hate to bring another depressing post to this subreddit. I want us to be hopeful for the future, but I need to vent somewhere to people who may understand.
Without giving too much detail as to what transpired with this current breakup, let’s just say that we’ve been kind of back-and-forth for the past few months. I started a new job. This required a new schedule, but this job was the job I wanted my career to be in. It paid a little bit more not much more than my last one but it took up more of my time, and yes, with the time difference, it was annoying.
We didn’t have as much time together besides the weekends, but I felt like I was making it work. Honestly, I even started realizing that maybe we spent too much time together in the past because my previous work schedule lined up perfectly where we both got off at the same time. We spent 6–7 hours during the work week together on the phone, and we spent all day and all night on the phone during the weekends. So I knew it was going to be a hard transition, but something that was for the best for both of us, and clearly it proved to be harder for him than it was for me.
We just had less time for one another these past few months, which I thought would be okay, but there were certain things and I hate to even say this because I’m literally gonna throw up just thinking about how pathetic I’ve been but he was really let down by the decrease of spicy things that I could do. My new job takes up a lot emotionally and physically. It takes a toll on me, let’s just put it that way.
I tried explaining that to him in the beginning that I’m just more tired now and I’m not in those moods all the time and he said I wasn’t meeting him halfway. He brought up how I hadn’t sent him a gift since Christmas, and yeah, I didn’t send him anything for Valentine’s Day either. That felt really bad, so he was kind of able to win that argument because I already felt guilty for dropping the ball on Valentine’s Day.
After that, I really tried harder. I was like, “Okay, you know what? Let me try to see what I can do. Maybe once a week maybe we can do something.”
And it just kind of continued back-and-forth. I was able to do certain things for him sometimes, but he wasn’t fully happy. But you know what? He has to be happy with what I was giving him.
Today was just one of those days. I had a very hard day at work. It just wasn’t gonna happen. I told him I would try another day and make it up to him. That’s what I said.
And what he said was, “You have no commitment. Just do it anyway.”
I was genuinely baffled by this response because I’ve never met somebody who would just bulldoze past a no like that. He hadn’t done that in the past, and now all of a sudden he’s doing it over something so small. I literally said I would do it sometime this week, just not today because I’m tired, and that wasn’t good enough.
He pulled every card he’s pulled in previous arguments. He was trying every possible way to make me feel bad, using the same things he’s used in the past because he knew they made me feel guilty before. He was seeing if he could get what he wanted again.
But I saw it so clearly today. Crystal clear.
I was like, “I can’t believe you would stoop this low because I don’t want to do something spicy today specifically today.”
You wanted what you wanted, and you were willing to call me names, call me selfish, and call me self-absorbed just to get it.
And it just wasn’t clicking for him at all. He kept saying I was blowing it out of proportion. He kept saying it wasn’t manipulative, even though I was calling it manipulation because it is.
At that point, it just became too hard for me to ignore. I honestly had to laugh. I told him, “You know what? Goodnight. I don’t think I want to speak to you again.”
And I blocked him on everything.
Because someone who can’t listen to your “no” does not see you as a human being.
I even said that during the argument. I told him, “You’re treating me like a P-star instead of an individual who is your partner.”
And he responded with, “Well, you’d make a bad one anyway.”
That really solidified how willing he was to degrade me just to get what he wanted.
So shame on me, I guess. Four years down the drain.
I’ve never seen this side of him before, and I guess changing my schedule and doing all these new things really showed me his true colors.
Sorry if this reads awkward I used speech to talk lol
For me, it’s Jeepers Creeper 1 and 2 and Smile 1 and 2. Something about these movies just have incredible watchability for me.
Especially the first Jeepers Creeper. The sibling dynamic and dialogue is just so immersive.
Currently in my 2’s class, we have one student OBSESSED with washing her hands. I know it’s developmentally normal as the beginning gaining sensory awareness but I just can’t have her constantly washing her hands. I’ve tried to redirect her behavior to other toys but she doesn’t have it and I have to pick her up to move her away from the sink.
When I have tried to let her be, she just winds up finding paper towels to wash under the sink and I’m afraid it’s led to one of our sinks getting clogged.
Any recommendations for this?? My coteacher and I are stumped. My coteacher is also against including a sensory bin with water. So that’s a no go.
FIRST, I wake up to a very sick cat. But I have to go to work anyway. I’m nearly in tears going to work because I’m worried.
Then, I’m a toddler teacher, kids are ON ONE today. I mean so many emotions, so many fights, so much stupid random conflict. My coteacher and I could not get it under control. Finally, I’m laying a kid down for nap and he bonksthe ever living shit out of his head. I keep beating myself up over this incident. God damn it. And I still have 2 hours to go and I have to go assist in the pre k classroom and one of those kids has been in the habit of hitting their teachers <3. I will cry today.
I JUST WANT TO BE A GOOD TEACHER LET ME COOK
