Kind of... you need to manually type in all the usernames to get one going

Wow just wow. I remember in Oct 13 way more stuff being said and done. They close everything and block everyone now a days.

Bonus TW goes out to my town.  We missed the bi-weekly recycling pickup because the truck came 15 minutes BEFORE they are supposed to start collection (our neighborhood is first on the route).  Oh joy... I'm never going to get rid of the absurd amount of boxes in my basement that I'm tripping over.

We can open a private group and only accept certain individuals...I'm in another private group currently, someone just needs to go in and set it up and them send a PM to a few people about joining and once that core of people is in there, they can decide as a group who else to PM and invite.  Just saying...that's how it works.  You know, if anyone ever wanted to do it.

I just saw the Drama Lama thread....


What buzzkills. 

Also, why am I always so late to the game? I need to find a way to multi-task at my job better.

Oh I forgot I actually came in here for a TW.

 

TW right now is DH who, bless his heart, means well but just makes me feel worse about myself sometimes.  DD has a cold, and last night did not want to sleep unless it was on top of me.  I tried to sleep in the recliner in her room, I gave it 2 hours, but my back hurt so badly that I just couldn't do it anymore (I slept in that thing for weeks when she was a newborn, but the pregnancy uncomfortableness makes it impossible now).  I had to let her cry herself to sleep.  She was wailing "mommy!  mommy!" and it broke my heart, but I don't know how else I can get any sleep with her on top of me, and I had to be at the office today, so I had to get at least a little sleep.  Every time she woke in the night the screaming started again.  She did this a few weeks ago as well, when she was cutting 6 teeth at once, and it was only a few nights, but it was also terrible.

 

So anyway, I obviously feel horrible, all the baby wants is her mommy, and her mommy is too uncomfortable to sleep with her, and it's the worst feeling in the world.  Well during the 2 hour stretch I was in there trying to sleep with her last night, DH texted me an article where the title seemed to be about easing congestion in a toddler, but then I read it and it was all "sure, I can't sleep when she wants me to sleep with her, but she'll only be small such a short time and I need to enjoy this while it lasts" and yada yada yada.  I know he did it to make me feel better.  but it made me feel much worse, because of course I love snuggling with her and I would have LOVED to do that all night but I physically could not on account of the other baby I'm trying to grow right now.  And I should mention that when I left her room and she was screaming, DH was fast asleep already and for god knows how long.  I could really kill him today.

 

When my alarm went off this morning, DH was like "just sleep in" and I was like "this IS sleeping in, this is the latest possible time I can get up and make it to work on time (usually I get up 45 minutes earlier and work out in the morning)."  He was like "just go to work late."  Yeah, ok, I will show up at 10am and then still leave at 4 to pick DD up at daycare, that will go over really well, why don't I just fire myself right now.  At any rate, my boss told me to just work from home tomorrow if I have to, so I'm going to try to make some kind of nest in the guest bedroom where I can maybe sleep with DD if it comes to that again.  Last night she went down normal time just fine, but the screaming started 2 hours later, so we'll see what happens tonight.  Ugh.

RIP Drama Llama.  This is a sad day.

@Wearmi1@Elyse1384 @Stankonia2014    Guanacos, anyone?  They are the wild version......

FSUNole31

The student who keeps calling me "bro" everytime I redirect him which is probably every 5 minutes.  I can't.  I am not your bro kid!!  I am a professional who deserves a bit more respect than you like to show.

@Mother0fDragons, I'm on my best behavior from here on out.

michaela0704

I had a crazy day and come back to this... I'm confused and pissed off... FTR I registered my compliant to the Bump Gods, never did that EVER.. probably will do nothing, but I did what I felt I could... so annoyed.

Knottie42089123

I reported her too

alm52386

Whatever asshole kid got me sick! I just had the stomach flu 2 weeks ago! Now I have a cold. DH isn't crazy about me taking meds for it either.  

kfry22

The board meeting I sat in today from 8-5 and the fancy dinner with our management team that last 2 hours killed me today. So tired. Day two tomorrow. Don't they know I need to check in with the bump to keep up with things?!

meilay

People who insist on driving at or above regular speed in dangerous weather conditions. Just slow down! It won't kill you or anyone else!

Can we do a honey badger board?

Parent at my son's daycare complained because her child wasn't getting a sticker for good behavior at the end of the day.  New Daycare rule: everyone gets a sticker or no one does. Seriously, maybe hold your kid accountable for his behavior.

Stankonia2014

My TW today and for the next four years will be Trump. He appointed a non-veteran and the current under secretary of the Veterans Health Administration as the new Sec'y of VA. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense given the main issue surrounding veterans is inadequate health care and absurd wait times, but yes, lets appoint him to head the entire VA. Fvcking genius.

michaela0704

@kahlan82 dear goodness gracious, that is just perpetuating the 'everyone gets a trophy' issue that is our current younger generation that feel entitled to everything... I won't get into my feelings on that, but that is the whole point of positive reinforcement for young children... they EARN their reward!  You can't say all or none, that makes no sense...

Oh. My. Goodness. I cannot even believe that. I would be furious. That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a while.

kahlan82

@JAGinMI @michaela0704   Yup, so now no stickers at all.  The teacher was like, "I just CAN'T give stickers to a kid who kicks and spits on me." So, we are just not getting stickers anymore.  I was in total agreement.  I would rather DS not get a sticker than a child be rewarded for bad behavior.  On top of it, the parent never talked to the teacher just went over her head to the director.  I hate when parents bypass the teacher.

mrt

@kahlan82 Wow. Sucks that the director didn't back the teacher. And that parent is ridiculous. Parents: if you want your kids to be successful adults, start holding them accountable for their behaviors now! Also, not everybody gets an A! You have to work hard for your grades too! I teach high school and parents are so bad. Kids literally do no homework and never come to see the teacher for extra help or ask questions, and try to be on their cell phones all during class (half the time because their mom is texting them during school!) and parents complain that classes are "too hard".

MrsW524

@mrt Then they come to college and continue the same behavior.  I'm lucky to mostly have awesome nursing students who have already had to pass some classes and work hard to get to my class, but intro classes are another story.  I've also had an unfortunate number of parents make phone calls or e-mail me about their kid's progress, which I can't legally talk about anyway.  The worst is when parents show up to advising appointments demanding to know why their kid is failing and what I'm doing about it.  Thankfully this isn't super common, but it happens enough to make me wonder about people. 

silliegirlie143

@mrt @MrsW524 Then they come to my work and I have to train them. And their Mom's call me for an explanation when I fire them because they can't follow a dress code or come to work on time.

mrt

@silliegirlie143 @MrsW524 @kahlan82  This is definitely what is wrong with America. How do we get parents to stop demanding that their kids get stickers/trophies/As for doing nothing/being ***holes? Ugh. I fear for our future.

silliegirlie143

Our favorite phrase for these asshats is: "THE RULES DON'T APPLY TO ME!!"

mrt

Also I give stickers on quizzes and tests, but only if you get a B or better. I'm waiting for someone to complain.

MrsW524

@silliegirlie143  I'm sorry you have to deal with that fallout.  We do our best to discourage that kind of behavior, but unfortunately it's never easy.

@mrt Stay strong on the sticker policy!
