@FebWriter @SussexHenryVIII This bothers me the most.
NOTHING from them, and not a single briefing about how Kate is happy to get to do X, Y, Z or help the kids with their homework.
@dekabat I hope that you and your coparent develop an amicable working relationship. It takes time, after the trauma of divorce, but it makes the parenting of teens so much easier.....and it gives you peace.
Welcome to your year of building the new you!
@clhubes Honestly, one of my kids is so stubborn he pretty much only responds to yelling. Then he knows mom is serious.
The other kid cries if you speak in a soft, stern voice.
There is no one-size-fits-all for children.
@ChrisJustice01@KlasfeldReports In all honesty, I can't remember what I was doing at work 10 years ago, either.
I'm positive I wasn't criming, but I have no idea what I *was* doing. That was 3 jobs ago.
Just had one of those holy shit moments where you step back and look at it all: Santos is under indictment, the GOP canโt keep a speaker, their leader has 91 felony counts and told people our nuke sub capabilities - and the media still treats this like a horse race.
@white_ambe40388 @houstonisdwatch No, custodians and IT are hourly workers.
Faculty are exempt, meaning they get paid a certain amount per pay period regardless of hours worked. He wants them to work crazy hours.

The far right takeover of the GOP in Congress has made it impossible for any Republican Speaker to satisfy extremist members and still keep government running.
Last week, Kevin McCarthy tried to do both so heโs no longer their Speaker.
Our nation deserves better than this mess.
@melon_reads My daughter passed me up in 4th grade - both of us at 5' 4.5". (She reached her final height of 6' at 14). My son is 14 and just passed me.
@SenTedCruz House Republicans couldn't even pass the rule to allow them to have a VOTE on military appropriations. Pressure your colleagues to do their damn jobs.
@JayWamsted It was a real revelation when I realized I didn't have to work crazy hours just because my employer refused to hire enough people to cover the workload.
We should be teaching kids boundaries and work-life balance.
@tedcruz Students should ABSOLUTELY feel safe and be prioritized at school.
They should NOT have to worry about mass shootings at school (gun control laws!).
They should NOT have to worry about dealing with hate at school (more DEI programs!).
They should NOT worry about their next meal
@melon_reads I adore Meg Cabot's "size 12" mysteries (that have a good streak of romance running through them). They are set in college but tame.
Is she allowed to read any steamier romances? I discovered Johanna Lindsey at 13 (my mom had NO IDEA what was in them).
@MarcusLuther6 My 16yo has literal panic attacks when they have been absent more than 2 days because of the workload missed.
When my students miss I am very clear on what *needs* to get done, what is good extra practice, and what they can skip for now.
@heymrsbond EVERYTHING is worse when you have littles at home.
You feel like you can't take care of everything at home because littles need you so much and then you're also a failure at your job bc you can't devote untold hours.
Just know that it sucks for a while and it is okay.
