I somewhat don't see the point of kick counts...at least not on a daily basis at x time laying down on your left side after you've eaten and had stuff to drink. I don't have time to lay down for an hour...on top of that i feel her All. The. Time! Her kicks hurt and cause braxton hicks. I do see the need for them and if i felt a decrease in her kicks I'd certainly lay down and make time...but everyday...idk

I don't do kick counts.

Alright, I'm sure this will stir up some drama in here..

Where I live, there has been a lot of controversy about teachers' pay, benefits, union, etc. My UO is that I'm not sympathetic to the cause. I don't feel that they're underpaid and they knew what they were getting into when they went to school to be teachers. The biggest complaints I hear from teachers about their jobs can be found in many other jobs and I don't think they deserve their own category of pity for the career they chose.

With all of that being said, I think being a teacher is great and that good teachers should be appreciated. I fully intend on showing my appreciation for our kids' good teachers in the future...a little goes a long way and the good ones should know how much of a difference they make. I'm in no way tearing down the choice of teaching as a career choice, but I don't want to hear the endless complaints about it.

I'm with you on this to some extent.  I COMPLETELY respect the profession of teaching and have a lot of friends who are teachers, but I do get sick of reading Facebook posts about how difficult it is to be a teacher.  

1) Everyone's job is difficult (in different ways). My job is hard too.  I don't get paid enough either.  But I don't complain about it all the time on social media.

2) You chose to be a teacher.  As far as I know, it's not really a surprise what being a teacher entails, what salaries are like, etc.

I'm an Oreo racist. How's that for an UO?
