Um, weird.

ggmae · December 2009

See, I think 4 year olds saying that to you is cute and fine. But it's when people say that to you for doing something wrong in their eyes that bugs me!

sucrets4 · December 2009

I know - I have a terrible potty mouth (um, most stuff I write on here), but keep my statues tame.

JK10910 · December 2009

So what are you going to do?

tlv204 · December 2009

Ditto PP, this is also why I'm not fb friends with students. They can't even search for me, and if they ask I tell them I'm not on it. To me and a lot of my generation, fb's solitary purpose is to share drinking pictures and stories, and I want it to stay that way

I just assumed the d word was damn, but I haven't seen any of your statuses (stati?) so I don't know.

Nebb · December 2009

I think thats officially creepy you should certainly NOT go to this church thing she invited you to.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · December 2009

I would assume Dammit was the d-word she was thinking because that's the one that would probably pop up on a FB status the most often.

Highly, highly inappropriate for a parent to give a child a teacher's cell phone number, BTW. Nip it in the bud, Sucrets!

sucrets4 · December 2009

Well, I'm definitely not going to the church thing.

I'm going to talk to her tomorrow and explain that it was a mistake that she could see something so personal and that she needs to understand that I have my private life and my work life and they should remain separate.

I'm not talking to her over the phone or on FB. Ughhh.

bbyckes · December 2009

My son goes to a school where all the students have the teacher's cell phone numbers and email addresses. It's manadatory. It fosters a relationship between parent, student and teacher. The numbers are to be used stritcly for questions regarding homework or school. Not ever personal. No one abuses it.

salt78 · December 2009

She crossed a line by reprimanding you for this. It's not her place to tell you what to do. She's a child and you are an adult.

sucrets4 · December 2009

I agree, salt, but I just wish I could figure out what she's talking about!!

smokeybailey · December 2009

Crazy Christians. I tell ya wut....

polichik · December 2009

Man.. I'm all squirmy on your behalf. I have no problem with anyone who feels that way about spiritual stuff, but I always felt like the "I'll pray for you" thing can be used for good or for a serious guilt trip. It's often a clear judgment, but it also give you no room to complain or protest because it's a "nice" thing to do.

Not like I once had a ridiculously judgmental hyper-Christian boyfriend who would pull that crap or anything. Cough.

brookelynpaisley · December 2009

I see dvd, disable, dinner, and driving. All of which are highly offensive. You also said crappy. For shame.

EmmaBride2B · December 2009

Lol, you have a very tame FB page. And her message is really rambling and blown way out of proportion. I do not envy you in this situation, no matter what way you handle this its super awkward.

I think that sounds good. And I also think you should de-friend her on Facebook, letting her know it was a mistake to add her in the first place, because you do like to keep your personal life separate from your work life, or whatever.

I also said Dunkin Donuts. I could see her getting upset since we don't have them down here.

If I knew WHAT she was referring to, I'd sadly feel better. It's killing me that I have no idea, and I'm sure she's not going to tell me.

I looked back to September and didn't see anything...maybe I wrote something months ago and she had time over the weekend and read through everything? Weird and creepy.

squirrly · December 2009

This is why I don't friend my athletes on FB. They know I'm on FB - and that I will decline all requests out of principle. Which is actually mandatory from my principal.

anna.oskar · December 2009

Dammit on Oct 9th - in comments

that's all I see with a "d"

brookelynpaisley · December 2009

I agree with Poli. Maybe it's me getting offensive, but people seem to say "I'll pray for you" when they're looking down on you. It's unfortunate, because the phrase itself should be used in a loving way. I'm not religious, but when it comes from someone who means it in a good way, it is comforting.

I accept their requests, and put them on a Limited Profile. They can't see anything except my profile pics, education, and employment info.

I never interact with them...other teachers in my school write on their walls and stuff, and I never do.

thesuninherhead · December 2009

Oh dear. I missed the part of this post with the update.

Whatever the word is, I wouldn't be 'friends' with any students if I were you. I'd remove them all, set your privacy settings so that no one can search for you and claim that you deleted your account.

And, obviously, apologise to this girl tomorrow at school.

Nice of her to offer to save you! ;P

tlv204 · December 2009

I agree with you too Poli, it's like they're telling you you're a terrible person and going to hell and shouldn't be allowed out in public, but NO FAIR TAGBACKS! When someone says "I'll pray for you," you can't really say "fuuck off" back. Well I might, but that's usually frowned upon.

Man I love this little red sentence that tells me to edit the word fuuck. I always forget I'm cussing, it's nice to have a friendly reminder.

thesuninherhead · December 2009

PS: I guess the whole school knows you're having a baby by now!

mwhitson14 · December 2009

Well to be honest, whenever one of y'all asks for good vibes or whatever, I do say a prayer. But instead of going, I'll say a prayer for ya!, which I feel like would get me judged around here, I say good vibes to you or whatever. And I'm not trying to be all preachy, just a perspective from the other side. Not that what she did was right at all, either.

sucrets4 · December 2009

Whit - see, that's sweet. Everyone wishes for someone in their own way, and I have no problem if someone keeps me in their thoughts and prayers.

tlv204 · December 2009

Yeah whit that's not at all what i'm talking about. I think it's awesome of anyone to keep me in their thoughts like that. I'm talking about the crazies who find out you had sex before marriage and say "I'll pray for your soul" like they're trying to be nice but really are judging. I don't care if they do pray, they may be right and save my soul in the end, but you don't have to tell me that in such a condescending tone and make me feel like shiit for something I consciously decided to do. Particularly when I can't say anything back without looking like a d bag.

mwhitson14 · December 2009

Aaaand TK just ate my long response, it took me to a whole new board when I clicked post, so before I chunk my phone out the window, night ladies. GL sucrets! I'll, uh, say a prayer for ya

saschaduran · December 2009

Whoa. When I thought it was a prayer group project I was kind of creeped out. When I saw that you were a mission, it REALLY creeped me out.

sucrets4 · December 2009

sascha - I know! And I don't even know what I did wrong...and have a feeling I'll never know. What is this mysterious D word??

katiewhompus · December 2009

I'm all for good intentioned prayers, especially when they are combined with finger crossing (more drama...sigh), but its the whole "I disagree with you but I'll pray for you" that gets old really fast.

A lot of my old co-managers from petsmart have our employees on their facebook. I didn't add anyone until I quit the company. I'm sorry but I didn't want my employees seeing things like "I fuucking hate this place I work with idiots" by accident.

Um, weird.
