Back. Hi Hego!
hello Dr Scrabs!
Done. Hi Mama and Baby K.
how goes it?
All is well. Is Baby K having a better winter than last year?
indeed. no sick visits to the ped in months! what little illness he HAS had have been manageable with rest, liquids, baby rub, snot-sucking + plenty of rest. :)
we are getting ready to cut him cold-turkey from the bottles this weekend, so im not looking forward to that! he only gets 1 at naptime and 1 at bedtime now as it is, but MAN he really wants that one at bedtime!
i am getting itchy and i have no pills. brb going to the dollar store
are there any ry words?
No
8 words and only one a 5
making me bonkers
Eva, say good-bye to the bottle. Put water in the bottle and milk in his cup.
There are some very odd words in this grid, Sue, as expected for a small grid.
hello friends. god help me - I am stuck in a room with the worlds MOST ANNOYING student, making up a test, and it
its a small grid - quelle horreur!
*virtual smack across annoying student's face* So there.
What does the world's most annoying student do to earn his/her title?
Trif, I thought of you are your boyfriend (David Bowie) wen Let's Dance came on the radio.
shes a nightmare.
Details, we need details.
Thanks scrabbler - the first time I turned the key in my new (used) car, his voice came out of the radio - I am taking that as a good omen
Very cool sign from him, Trif.
I can just imagine this annoying girl: talks too much, whiny, dramatic, frequent eye-roller.
Or she could just be a sniffer. Permanent sniffing is annoying.
upon entering the classroom she HOLLERS that she has done her homework, but lost it, but demands full credit. Upon being placed in a working group, she HOLLERS "NO! NOT THEM!" (they felt the same way, but kept it to themselves. co-teacher decides that since she did not complete the homework, she cannot really do the group stuff anyway, so sends her in a small room with me and one other student to do the homework again. She spins constantly in the chair while I am giving directions, than demands "what am I supposed to do?" in the loudest voice possible. While the other student works quietly, she pouts, whines, and says "this is stupid!" repeatedly. Now she is bitching that the other student is "already on the back of the paper!" SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
Oh, yes. Sniffing, throat-clearing.
Goodness, she's even worse than we imagined.
So, she is a perpetual toddler, Trif. Her parents likely expect little f her.
She is reading the questions out loud, the ones that I have now explained TWICE and demanding that I answer them.
Disrespectful, irresponsible, self-absorbed, rude...
She sounds charming. Note the use of sarcastic font.
Hahaha.
She is FURIOUS that the other student is finished and can go back to class. I asked her "why do you think she is finished?" and I will give her credit - "because she isn't talking?" What I really wanted to say was "No, she answered the questions in self defense so she can FLEEEEEEE"
I don't envy you your job, Trif. I wouldn't have the patience.
Potential homicide victim, she is.
she is sorely trying mine, i will admit.
What age is she? Old enough to know better, of course.
she doesnt' even ATTEMPT to answer the question herself. she reads every one twice.
out loud, and expects to tell me the answer
Our worst patient (in pediatrics) is the female adolescent.
she is in seventh grade
I've raised two daughters and know that teenage-hood can be problematic but it was always a relief when teachers said how well behaved they were in school. At times I wondered if we were talking about the same girls!
(stunned silence, having assumed Trif taught kindegarten)
Her parents need to rein her in but I suspect that won't happen.
i feel so bad. I really, really realllllly try with my students, but this one is TOUGH - just inherently difficult to like
I firmly believe that you need to put the work in early with children regarding boundaries etc so that they are more inclined to heed you later on.
This one has NO off/mute button
Trif, it's not your fault. You've done your best, probably with greater patience than most of us can muster.
So true, Haz. If kids are not taught by age 3-4 to respect and obey their parents they will certainly not obey and respect teachers..
oh, tra la la. she's "done" we can go back to class now. KILL MEEEEEE
I know. It seems common sense, doesn't it, Scrabbler?
Deep cleansing breaths, Trif.
Let's all have a Pollyanna moment and let's be glad that we're not Trif.
Oh yes.
Yes, to us, Haz, but far too many parents are wimpy and spineless, wanting to be friends with their kids.
But what's going to happen to the next generation?
We are into a second generation of perpetual toddlers, Haz, and it is frightening. Toddler-parents are ineffective parents.
It's very sad, I don't think the children are really happy with no limits and boundaries being imposed.
Kids feel unloved then become sad and angry. Behavior problems and mental illness dominate pediatrics now.
I'm sure you must become very frustrated with what you see happening. Do parents resent you if you try to give advice they don't like to hear?
They don't resent us, they don't listen to us. They don't want to put the work in (with discipline) to prepare their kids for adulthood. They prefer a diagnosis and medication, then complain when medication doesn't help. I do not medicate kids for behavior problems. I recommend discipline and counseling.
Trif i had a student like that and it was Autistic. Very loud
Counseling for the parents too. Scrabbler, I'm glad to hear you take the realistic approach with your patient's parents.
Ah, discipline, the hated concept!
behavioral problems and mental illness are everywhere scrabs.. in almost every profession
nobody knew in the class, it being college, but once identified, it was easier to deal with.
i made no exception for her, but I did get a better handle on what to expect and how to respond
If the parents would teach a class for one day, maybe two, they would understand the jonny and jill aint so cute anymore.
sue, do you think they really don't know what they're like or are they just refusing to have anyone criticise their child?
but then again, many teachers only teach the student how to belittle others. We have lost the action of respect for others. We demand it, but in the face of disrespect, we have a hard time showing it.
a teacher reamed my 17 yr old a new one, in front of everyon, after he asked a question. I am here to tell you that he did it quietly and respectfully. that according to the teacher even. that is not acceptable.
Haz, i think if you dont spend a day with 30 students in a room, you just dont get it.
There's something badly wrong if you can't ask a question!
2x4, 1x5 and 1x6 left
This is a quick but also tough grid
I'll chime in with this: my beloved is a librarian, and recently a mother came in with her 3 children, all under the age of 10. Every time one of them wanted mom's attention, he screamed (literally) several times. After about a half hour, my spouse asked the mom if she needed help with anything, then helped her locate the books she wanted. The child continued to scream at the top of his lungs. Spouse said, "Um, excuse me, but your child is being disruptive to our patrons." The mother left in a big huff and then called my spouse's supervisor to complain that she felt "humiliated". !!!
True, ruru, but primary care pediatrics has transformed into psychology and psychiatry.
Ohm ch, people don't want to be accountable anymore.
i had one lady say "a substitute told my kid that if she comes up to the desk to show her another thing, she better be on fire. can you believe that?" she was so mad that the sub said that to her wonderful kid that wanted to show the sub a pretty picture for the 100th time. I asked the mother if the class could be taught with 30 kids doing that at will?
ch1212, one of my bugbears is seeing parents ignoring their children until the child has worked him/herself into a frenzy. Listen, respond, and so much temper could be nipped in the bud.
I completely agree, Haz.
True, Haz.
my shrink gave me a great mantra "I hear what your saying, and i am doing the best that I can". you cant get excited. It works great
Scrabs - K takes the sippy cup for milk + water during the day, but he still likes a bottle for sleepy-time. its def not about the thirsty aspect, its just his comfort thing. so this weekend we say goodbye to it! ive been working on a new nighttime routine, implementing things slowly, so we'll see if i make it through the weekend!
It's a good mantra, it lets people know that they're not being ignored.
Good for you, Eva. He needs to fall asleep in his crib with a securty object after a bedtme routine.
he has always had his "turtle" which is a lovey with his pacifiers attached to it. this weekend we introduced a baby pillow + blanket and his footie PJs.
Good-bye to pacifier too. Get it al done.
im not quite ready to cross that bridge yet!
Scrabbler is hard core.
I have walked into many classes and lead with "I have one rule in my life, I respect you. I am going to go over the rules of the school and class and i will hold you accountable to them. If i didnt, then i would be disrespecting you by lying."
well, lunch time. bbl
Enjoy your lunch, sue.
I am traditional, Haz. Old school.
Harsh but fair, as my daughter would say.
i aim more for...fair, but keep mommy's sanity
heh
Lunch time for me to. Enjoy the day, folks.
I was the same, Scrabbler. Bottles away by 10 months, also a beloved blanket that only encouraged thumb-sucking mysteriously disappeared.
same here. off to forage for lunch!
Well, everybody enjoy your lunch now that we have put the world to rights.
I'm off to prepare the usual gourmet feast for tea.
:) Little early for lunch here, but laundry beckons. Thanks for the chat today!

NM
Well, pooh.

nm
A small but nasty grid today.
shouldn't elegic be an adjective?
rehi
I liked egotic myself
hi Mool
I tried that one lyn :)
interestingly enough "adjective" and verb" are both nouns :)
19 to go here. got nbt, but no 6s yet
6 left here
have no 6s either
you were extremely close to el6.24 Harry
found my first 6
ah - got it. nbs ty lynxxxxxx
ah, that one too tx lyn...now have two
both e's
now what is the third one? down to 6
maybe if you're for real online you're el6 :)
oy
4 hee
either C, F or G for the last 6
not G
hey there's a 7 - a familiar literary tool called eyerony
and I have all the Fs so not F....must be the C
well there you go
kind of like playing cluedo
or clue for our american friends
2 to go
found it
if you need a clue
maybe just the second letter
o
TY
if you use excrement to distract someone, wouldn't that be a fecoy?
oh duh, fw
no, that would be disgusting
yay mool
Possibly, but it would take someone very strange to do something like that
ironically enough, my last word had three of the same letters as the 6, but with different front 2
Congrats!
t'is true...perhaps why it hasn't made itself into our lexicon yet
if you used feces to attract birds and then shoot them
one does wonder I guess, if that would actually work
only one way to find out!!!
Maybe a poose for a goose
probably the type and form of feces would be important
It woul work for dung beetles, bit hard to shoot them though
14 to go. will bbl for a fresh look. hagd!
bye Harry
Bye
Now here's something not seen regularly...... I've finished & available for clues...
