Should I try talking to another teacher that has been making my life difficult? At today’s optional after school meeting she said I was keeping her past her contractual time... it was optional!!!

Yes. I would say something like, "I just want to make sure that I made myself clear by saying yesterday's meeting was optional for those who chose to attend." Maybe she misunderstood? When teachers miss my union meeting, I put a copy of the agenda in their mailbox and follow up with an email for clarification. Good luck!

Yeah you should have said this meeting is optional so you can leave anytime you want. A lot of the other teachers would probably agree with you and that would probably make her think twice about what she is going to say.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating.

Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
