When your oldest just casually grabs the full trash bag after dinner and takes it out without being asked… that’s when you’ve won at parenting. Right???
@marcusdharvey
Awesome. I once showed up to a mtg w my advisor w a 2 year old in a stroller, while 6 months pregnant, and a KITTEN in my backpack we found on the side of the rd that morning and he didn’t bat an eye. I graduated w honors. ❤️
@ask_aubry
Too weird. Something isn’t right here. He’s lying about something. No married man stays over with a single female friend for 48 hours with good intentions. I have a close FEMALE friend going through a nasty divorce and I’ve never slept over at her house for any reason.
@sewistwrites
My brother and his gf won’t let me pay them for anything for Thanksgiving and they’re putting us up in their AirBNB. I couldn’t bring stuff but I offered to Venmo them for at least half the items and they said absolutely not. We will buy pizzas the night before. 🤷🏻♀️
Husband and I have been married 21 years this week.
I just asked him why we’re still married and he responded:
“…Because I love you? We’ve been through a lot together? I don’t like anyone else.”
😂😂
Thank you all. Waking up on day 2 without her is really depressing, but at least I slept, b/c Saturday I did not. I miss her big yawns and her little tippy tappy feet following me around. I appreciate the support though. ❤️
@TeacherOnTopic
@joandotca
Reminds me of our young neighbor years ago, trying to invite my then 13 year old for a sleepover. He was like you can just go pack your bag, I’m sure my Grandma will say yes! She was like oh… buddy… no. 😂
Again, thank you all. Her name was Juniper and I was outside watching her. I never saw the coyote until it was too late. I’m having trouble keeping up with all the sweet messages now, I didn’t expect this to get so much attention. I do appreciate all of you. ❤️
@k8roulette2
Yeesh. When I get messages like this, I always say I’m sorry, we will miss your child, thank you for letting me know. Not a perfect teacher, boy I try to be a decent human. ❤️
@Greg_Moffitt
Too many parents who don’t care if their child is disruptive/violent/just plain rude. Forced to use canned curriculum that isn’t that great, and changes every 1-2yrs. The amount of pointless things we’re to do, like make “acceleration plans” for a whole class.
@HeatherL114
That’s so disappointing, and I’m sorry you’re having to go through that. The “premium” kindergarten is what got me. Kindergarten is already too academic. Ugh, so frustrating.
@billdavidsoniii
Sounds kinda cranky to me. Teachers are human beings and we’re entitled to use our sick days. My guess is there’s more to the story, or their boss is probably already on their case. Most teachers don’t want to do that? It’s so much work to prep for a sub.
@PaganTrelawney
Has anyone stopped to think maybe they were just stressed getting themselves and 3 kids dressed up and out of the house on time? Like I don’t care at all but I know what it’s like being married with kids lol.
@KayAyDrew
My now 19 yo sobbed to me one day in 3rd grade that she had said a cuss word on the playground. She didn’t even get in trouble. She just said “shit” out in the field and was eaten alive by the guilt. 😂😂
@ask_aubry
Gross. As the 42 yo mom of a college freshman, I can assure you this is not normal, healthy, or cute. My 18.5 yo would die if someone her dads age was trying to hit on her at a party. These dudes are nasty!!
@MadiSP4321
Kids frequently ask what my car looks like, over multiple years + 3 different schools. They wanna KNOW it’s in the parking lot. They tell me when it’s time to re-dye my gray roots. We spend 6 hours a day together. My daughters have visited my classroom. They love it. 🤷🏻♀️
@Olas_Truth
@CharofCommune
I don’t remember that pic of Beyoncé but when I saw Rihanna I was like omg that baby is so chunky and adorable. Wth is wrong with people to hate on a baby?!
@letsquitteachin
I’m sure that teacher has explained 57x how to make inferences. They were making inferences about killer whales. What is the point of this tweet? To shame teachers because a random 8th grader didn’t read the learning target to you?? 🙄
@DrCIKingdom
I’m still just shocked testing goes on as usual, when this class of 5th graders doesn’t know their multiplication facts, because they likely missed most of 3rd grade, but carry on! Mental health needs are more than we can handle. Attention spans are short. It’s a mess.
@heymrsbond
Kids are goofy af sometimes. Tell your daughter she can say “Girls can have short hair, your opinions don’t matter!” Or, “your mom is a hoe.” Either way. 😂
@kpanyc
@marcusdharvey
Same!! I don’t remember him caring much about the kitten but he was friendly to my daughter. They were so accommodating to me when I was pregnant. Thanks
@uofl

@UberFacts
Teachers, who are professionals, many w/masters degrees, are expected to buy supplies and decorations for their classrooms every year. Can you imagine if nurses weren’t provided syringes and gloves?!?
@JesseThorn
No one has mentioned when Liz yells at the plastic bag stuck in a tree outside her apt window and tells it she’s going to make it eat it’s family. 😂🙄
@mrs_g_rider
Agree. I let my teens read whatever they want. Granted, 15 won’t read anything lol but my oldest has been a Stephen King fan for many, many years. When she was 12 she wanted to see It. I said, if you read it, you can see it. She read it. 😂
@clhubes
Yes! Hubby and I have owned 2 homes (been in current house 13 years) and I am shocked at these “all cash offers” I’m hearing about. Like… how?? Our house was $186K at purchase and houses on our street now on sale for $400K- it’s nuts.
@gilliland_ac
😳 wtf… I didn’t save my copy so I can’t check, but I feel like I would have noticed if it offered a blm poster and torn it out. I’m in Kentucky.
Today a student mentioned she was told she’d have to use math in any job when she grows up. So she asked me if I use math at my job. I said yes, I teach you math everyday. She said “No, I mean like at a real JOB you get paid for.” 🤯

@DrBradJohnson
Read to your child, play board games, show them how to do a puzzle. Always shocked by how few kids can do these. Keep a consistent schedule. I can’t teach your kid anything if he’s passed out on the rug during math 2-3 days a week because he’s exhausted. School is important.
@heymrsbond
Eek I am so glad you were there for that student. That’s so sad. I had this issue in college when I was pregnant. I had to sit sideways. Like I didn’t already feel like an outsider. I fully understand it’s not the same but I can empathize. 💔
@eduleadership
I’ve used sick days for dealing with lice on my own child, attending a funeral for a good friends’ 12 year old, and driving my husband to a colonoscopy. MIND. YOUR. BUSINESS. I also spent 12 days in the ICU 2 years ago for diabetes issues I probably could have avoided. So. MYB.
@oliveluver
You know what’s worse??? I accidentally ended up with a miniature golden doodle chihuahua MIX! He’s sweet, I gotta admit. But wtf? Who did that?? 😂😂 He’s going to be Chewbacca for Halloween. We call him a muppet. He’s a mess.
@Prof_Flowers
@theDRAMAgoat1
I have a masters degree. Husband does not. Husband makes twice as much as I do. He also works from home and is respected. Must be nice.
@teachaged
My district has no dress code. I wear a lot of basic shirt dresses with bike shorts on underneath so I can sit on the floor and bend down to pick papers/pencils off the floor. Yesterday I wore joggers with a teacher t. Who cares about jeans?!
When we got in a major car accident a few hours ago 15 jumped out of the car and ran for her life. I chased her down but I was also in shock so 18 came to the rescue. What a great big sister. I am just so emotional tonight! Damn!
@gpdkaluma
@SekuruRoddie
Who has their own engineer? I’m concerned with ability/skill level, not hairstyles. Imagine being so hateful. Your tweets are all trash.
@clhubes
I’d say around 3 and 5 years old. My girls are bffs but there was quite a lot of jealousy and fighting when they were littler. They have always loved each other dearly but my oldest did not love it when baby sis started crawling lol. They’re 17/19 (20 next mo) now. ❤️😂
@yesthatteacher
Heard that one time in my life this year for a teacher I know for a fact is terrible. I was so annoyed. Like, why do I try SO HARD when others get away w the bullshit?! 🙄
@ObsessedTeach
Yes, so true. I remember realizing a few years ago that third graders had no clue how to start or work on a puzzle too. Like… my 3 year olds puzzles were too hard. I had to teach them about finding the edge pieces, etc. - no stamina either. 😭
When your child is in college, you drive 3 hours for brunch and buy them whatever they need. Period. Best part of my entire week right here. ❤️
#momlife
@tracyrenee70
Or the self care lolol. Was rushed through a staff mtg on self care, skipped all the actual activities, told to take a survey, and then given a book on self care that I never opened. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
#tonedeaf
@toomanyspectra
Reminds me of when my students say this smells gross, smell it! And I’m always like never. I will NEVER sniff something a child offers me.
@cress_cd
Done well, vegan food can be amazing. I’m usually the in the opposite situation, as a vegetarian. NO ONE thinks about me when we have work meals/potlucks. I’m always looking at menus like is there anything for me here? 🙄
@ModestTeacher
Pencils that are ALWAYS sharp. Can’t be dull. And I’m not talking about those useless mechanical pencils, either. And the erasers stay on. Million dollar idea.
@cmclymer
I don’t know. It’s really weird. I don’t personally like headphones in my ears but I just don’t listen to anything when I’m in public. It’s not hard to not be annoying. 🤷🏻♀️
@ItsDanaWhite
Agree! I tell my kids if it’s possible I’d love to see their faces, but if it’s not possible, that’s OK. Could be internet is slower with camera on. Could be they don’t want me to see what’s going on at their house. I respect that completely. ❤️
@StephGrahamKC
@alicekeeler
Yep, this is hard. This year my first day w students was 18’s official move in day at college. We had to pay extra to move her in the weekend before so I could participate. That hurt my feelings. It wasn’t anyone’s fault but I’ve been missing things for years.
@theGoodhueLife
Uh, no. If you’re at home sick, you’re at home SICK. It would maybe be different if you didn’t have any symptoms + very young children. If I get Covid at school, I’m taking my 10 days and recouping at home without any guilt.
@1goodtern
My daughter was hit by another teen driver as she was leaving a parking lot and the girl was turning in. It wasn’t even her fault but she drove away in a panic. She called me crying and I talked her down. She went back and exchanged information.
@DeeSTEM_Teach
I have only ever posted pics of children whose parents have signed permission slips saying that it’s OK. I have stopped random office people/other teachers from photographing some of my students. People just don’t think.
@notcapnamerica
@MoniseLSeward
I had the best of both worlds last Xmas, my brother and his girlfriend have an adorable converted garage apartment they sometimes rent out, but it was perfect for my family and I. Personal space, but close. 😂
@JCPSKY
This is going to be a hot mess! We need more testing and a better plan for handling all these omnicron cases. We need masks that actually fit the kids and bodies to actually clean/disinfect the classrooms. This is one very nervous teacher and I know I’m not alone. 😳😳
@cultofpedagogy
Making “acceleration plans” based on MAP scores that require me to outline how I will target learning deficiencies but they’re for almost my entire class so it’s not accelerating anything at all lol.
@EmilieMcKiernan
No. And if it somehow was required, they couldn’t just randomly not do it, could they? Wouldn’t it ALWAYS be required? There’s just no way that’s a real thing.
@DeeSTEM_Teach
Right… I don’t see any issue here. She probably sat down with them and fell asleep accidentally. They’re safe and cared for. They clearly like her. I’d cover them with a blanket and go read my book until they woke up.
Had a student stomp away from me today muttering “I hate school” then stomped back and added “I hate school but that doesn’t mean I hate YOU!” and my heart broke a little. They’re 8.
#teachertwitter
@cocoburbank
Why did I just have to stop and reread that and take several seconds to think that’s not right I graduated high school in 1998? Because I’m a teacher and I’m that tired lol. 😂
@yesthatteacher
Kids do not notice. I wear short t shirt dresses 3-4 days a week. I wore a long dress the other day and one of my boys said “You never wear dresses! What’s uuuup?” I was like… I do, actually. 😂🤦🏻♀️ Literally changed nothing.
@MeghanMcCain
Most large gatherings are requiring proof of a negative test or proof of vaccination at least. Meanwhile, I have parents who send sick kids to school everyday. I don’t know if they’re vaccinated. Only 5 of my 24 students get tested weekly when it’s offered. 🥺
@jonmspangler
@gargoylesnest
@Cherie_Stabler
Disagree. If she’s “really good” she doesn’t need to threaten middle schoolers. She just got hired this week. It wasn’t a one time bad day after a long year, which I could maybe excuse. There is no excuse for this.
@KentuckyEM
No apologies needed. Startled me, but I’d rather be startled for 5 seconds than have people dying. Thanks for all you’re doing to keep people safe.
Update: we are still shaken/bruised, but we’re recovering. Seatbelts save lives! I can’t express my gratitude to the 1st responders enough, but they were amazing. Hug your loved ones + keep your eyes on the rd. You just never know when someone will turn right in front of you. 😩
@cmclymer
This is such a good explanation of what happened. I’ve never listened to Toby Keith but I’ve been a Chicks fan for 25 years at least. I’m not happy that he was sick, but… I remember.
Y’all I have a dentist appt next week that requires me to leave school 30 mins before dismissal. Normally not a big deal, an ins. coach would probably cover. She’s at a mtg next week so MY PRINCIPAL offered to cover. Thankful for awesome admin. ❤️❤️
