I'll start, I'm not on the brownie brittle love train (sorry for the food confession @cagoldi.) I tried it multiple times, but I just can't fall in love with dry brownie pieces.
I picked out a new mirror for our bedroom this week. It wasn't crazy $, but wasn't cheap. I showed DH an even more expensive one first, then generously offered to compromise on the less pricey option. He bit, and I have my new mirror.
I might have stolen that strategy from Cam on Modern Family. I'm not sure which part of that is more of the confession!
Another FFFC: My sister just joined the bump and she is on the August 2015 board... I just informed her yesterday that everything she posted on her BMB was public. (She had been posting about me.)
@Smilz4782@mamasoup030 she posted in a daily awhile back. I was sure you both congratulated her. ..
Thanks for the credit, but sadly I've missed a lot of daily threads lately and usually miss the second half of the ones I follow as they continue once I'm home and drop off the radar.
So excited for you @pokeherdm !!!! Congratulations many times over!!!
My fffc: a high school friend posted a picture on FB this morning of her LO that would cause our lovely goldi to set her straight for safety's sake. This particular friend is pretty argumentative on a good day, forget it if you mess with her kids. My confession, I can't bring myself to point out the obvious (puffy crib bumpers) and feel guilty but just can't do it. It's really bugging me.
I have baby fever.. Mostly. But I'm not ready to give up my time with Ava. And I selfishly want more tattoos... which I was in the process of completing when I was knocked up with Ava.
When I do get pregnant, I don't think I'll announce it. Just go quietly to my new board while posting here. I mean, I barely post here as is, except to give out hugs.
...don't you think people on here who have known you for ever would be happy to hear your news?

Yes!! Those of us that aren't brave enough to TTC yet want to live vicariously through you.
@meeshkaroni...don't down play. People on here care about you and you've been around her for a while. Plus...you're still a reg on here and post more than you may think so shhhh with the "I'm not around!" I'm sorry you're sad about your pet. It's like losing a family member, for sure. You're allowed a funk.
I'm just going to rescind my warm welcome right now and ask what the biggest problem you had with your last board was? AlsO becuase making fun of kids IS NOT OK? And 100% especially not when I've read other things you have said about your students.

You don't have a clue what you are talking about. I am not making fun of any of my kids. When I discuss work often my family/friends don't believe it, that is why I have sent them. Geez...
Did you not have the same problem on your last board for posting about your students on the Facebook page?
I feel like I would flip the fuck out if A had a teacher that was taking and sending pictures of him for any reason or purpose of which I was not aware nor had given permission. Especially if that purpose is laughing about his behavior. How old are these kids? Old enough that any behavioral problems would have already been detected and addressed?
If there is any possibility they could be SN that really disturbs me.

Oh, they are. I figured for my purposes that didn't matter, so I didn't bring it up, but they are.
No fucking way. That's just vicious. These kids aren't misbehaving! They don't even have the capacity to understand they could behave differently.
Repulsive. @uncgirl6885 Go away. This is shameful and despicable.

I had NO problem except with TWO women who CONTINUOUSLY take my words out of context and start crap because I didn't ever agree with them. I didn't post anything about my personal about my students.
I don't think you saying you cannot stand one of your students to a public forum can be taken very far out of context.
@cagoldi They are not special needs in the sense you are thinking. In NC if you have asthma you can qualify for special needs. If you have bad behavior you can qualify. I have two brothers that are severe special needs. I am a special education advocate. Do not get twisted by what OTHERS are saying that is untrue.
I'm so upset by this. Stepping away before I make my sick mod have to work today.

Even if they are not sn its still awful and inappropriate and you continue to discuss/belittle them on a public forum.
The videos/pictures are TOTALLY have me in them... Trying to redirect, Looking like "what am I supposed to do?", talking to them, trying to rationalize...
I really feel like this is being taken out of context. These kids are not special needs in the sense that they have a disability.

I don't care. I don't believe any of your "explanations." I'm done with you.
Even our LO's can be exhausting and difficult at times, but only DH and I are ones that get to be exaspterated by our LO's.
DC teachers, teachers, aides... this is your job to keep you cool and always remain professional around these children. I don't feel like that was being done with you, @uncgirl6885.
THIS IS WHY I GET WEARY OF NEW PEOPLE ON OUR BOARD, GUYS.
Don't hold it against all the newbs. We've actually had some good ones! I mean, Yez, Margerietyrell (I'm spelling that wrong), Sooz....
I'm in camp, give newbs a chance. I'm the first to admit that there are people on this board who I really didn't like at all when we all first started posting, and who I've had a complete 180 on.
That being said, it's hard to come back from confessing that you've grossly violated your students' privacy and position of trust as a teacher....
They are my exception.
Also, I didn't say I don't LIKE new people, I just get a little...
...when someone new rolls up. And this is proof why my guard remains up for a while.
In an effort to stay within TOU because I lurve Foxy...
You still don't get it. Lots of jobs are stressful. That doesn't make it ok to ridicule those entrusted to your care. There are much better outlets for dealing with professional stress.
You can't say that you love your students and then turn around and mock them. It's vicious behavior and if anyone should know better, it's the adult in the room.
And let me be abundantly clear, YOU are not the victim. I highly doubt your school administrators would be sympathetic to your perceived injustice.
Yep.
My students (adult learners) make me angry on a daily basis. I never even mention in a Facebook status what my feelings are about them or about work because, well, you never know who can see things. Sure, I have privacy settings but...the internet is the internet.
Also...Snapchat does store memory in your phone. Not sure if WE can ever access the contents again, but for all we know? Big Brother might.

I changed my voter registration last night. Party affiliation has officially been revised.
OOH! I remembered... I snuck a picture of the girl with the crazy hair at the gym....
She poofs it up really big on the top and then has like a mini pony tail sticking straight out on the side

I've seen a lot of fucked up shit on TB, but this is seriously one of the most heartless, depraved things I've ever read.
Those poor kids.
