Story 1: Good apple!!!💛 some people will not learn/understand until they’ve been cussed, flipped off, and/or punched. They just won’t! Not everyone is this way. However, I’ve met my fair share of people who are like that. I applaud OP for standing up for their child and themselves!!!! Was it petty? Yes. Did he deserve it? Yes. Was a message sent? Yes. Was that message needed? Yes, most likely. Your family does not get to disrespect you! You don’t have to tolerate it! Put them in their place! It isn’t necessary for everyone, but I think it was in this case. I hope your son had a wonderful party💛👑
Story 3: Personally, as someone who also has difficulties with actually asking people for the things I want, even for birthdays/Christmas, because of the issue of people just...getting stuff that I didn't ask for and have no interest in without regard for the things I actually asked for...I'm gonna say OP was a Good Apple. The fact that OP has had repeated conversations about gift giving, and consistently has gotten their wife the gifts she asked for, and keeps getting given homemade gifts instead of the things they actually asked for...that doesn't feel like the wife is respecting or listening to what the OP is saying.
The third story, he said he was rather explicit about what he wanted, and she still chose to ignore that. Not sure how much more clear he needed to be short of buying a billboard.
The last story, definitely don't let them weasel out of paying for what she stole. Yes, kids make mistakes, and learning about consequences is part of growing up.
They sent him pictures of his dad crying? That's just hilarious. NTA.
Story 3: I love to crochet gifts for loved ones, but if someone told me a exactly what specific gift they wanted for their birthday, I’d get it for them! Especially if it’s financially reasonable. To me, it doesn’t really seem like poor communication: OP told his wife exactly what he wanted, and his wife chose to ignore it! I’m sure she didn’t mean to hurt him, but with her actions she was telling him that she knows better than him. She could’ve gotten him the book he asked for AND made him some matching bookmarks to go along with it! That would’ve been so cute and fun! Plus they’d both be happy
A gift should be more about the person receiving it than the person giving it. I would love crocheted really anything, but if someone gave me homemade beef jerky, well, I don't eat beef jerky. It would be a good gift for other people, but not me.
He did say he'd spoken with his wife multiple times. So yes good apple.
I agree. Also it wasn’t a one off thing, there have been several conversations and the wife is just choosing to ignore his wishes.
I also love to make things for people, and I often do, but I try to think of what the person would want or need. And I definitely would but someone the gift they specifically asked for, if I am able.
The thing that bothered me also is that it’s not even the kinds of bookmarks OP likes. I make pottery but even then I would choose colours that the person likes or something that fits their preference. I love huge mugs myself but I know my mother-in-law doesn’t and is not a fan of green, so I would make her a smaller mug and glaze it blue, for example.
@@exilelaflamme9184 This all this!!! He asked her over and over that he does not like these items. She did not respect that.
This has become a weekly obsession. I just wait for the notification every week.
Literally same
Exactly love it too❤
For real for real.
Story 3: ooh, I’m torn after the last couple of lines. I was thinking he can go buy his own stuff. Then when I realise you’re not even expecting her to pay for it herself. I’m going good apple. It’s ok to want what you want and to expect your spouse will listen to that.
Story 1: Good apple. Pushy family like that who only care about their own wants won't learn unless you give it back to them. People like that will continue to steamroll their victims into compliance until put in their place. Good on OP for doing just that.
Story 2: Good apple. Middle school kids are brats. They're way too young to be dating and are in an awkward phase when they're all trying to act tougher and more grown up than they actually are. I have no reason to believe that they didn't all sit in the hall like that on purpose to provoke this teacher because this one 'couple' felt slighted and they wanted to get back at them. Do what you have to do.
Story 3: Good apple. I noticed people keep missing the part when OP mentioned the wife disregards other people's wants with these homemade gifts as well and he has communicated with her about this multiple times when other people were similarly disappointed. This isn't obliviousness anymore, this is willful ignorance st this point and being more firm was warranted.
Story 4: Good apple. Mrs. Rogers said it better than I ever could
Story 3: I mightve misheard but didn't he say that they had talked about it several times? It just feels like she's disregarding OP's feelings. Now I'm not saying that she is, but it sounds like she just isn't listening to OP. Good apple in my opinion.
I was coming here to say this as well. I definitely think he did say they have had this conversation multiple times.
Yes, but I would like to know her arguments or something
That 3rd story--making bookmarks for a book... INSTEAD OF THE ACTUAL BOOK???
Apple 1: Good apple!!! His family is clearly extremely manipulative and toxic. He should probably cut or lessen contact. But at that point he was just standing up for his son! We love to see a supportive Dad!
Story 3: OP said he’s talked to her abt it multiple times. I understand his pov cuz this isn’t the first time he told her abt this n it isn’t him just blowing up out of nowhere. I don’t think she’s being malicious? But she should listen instead of having the audacity to make bookmarks when he told her he specifically wanted a book… AND with joint finances…she’s a crab apple at most
Anyone else have Deja vu from last week with the swifte kid? Why do adults feel the need to police the gender expression of children? It’s just as sexist to say “boys can’t like princesses” as it is to say “girls can’t like superheroes” just let kids like what they like
Story 3: Giving someone a gift they do not want or need is wasteful (of course assuming the gift-giver is aware). In the best case it just takes up space in the person’s home, but in the worse case it is a waste of the gift-giver’s money and/or time, might take away from someone else who could use it, can create guilt for the receiver. Granted we can argue about OP’s communication, but at the base there is nothing wrong with not wanting a certain item. If the person is not going to use and appreciate the item, that is fair.
I am always appreciative of any gift, but a large part of that is appreciation for the thoughtfulness of the gift-giver, for them taking the time to make or buy something, for thinking of me, etc. If I know I will not use something, I actually would prefer not to get that gift, even if it means not getting anything else. I have handbags, jewellery etc that I got from people I love and I am really appreciative for, but it is really not my style so I do not use it, which makes me sad especially if I know the person has limited money. So when possible to do so without hurting feelings, I try to not accept things I know I will not use. This goes for gifts but also items passed on. I also try to not make people feel obliged to accept things they may not want.
I actually think it is great and so helpful when people tell me clearly what they want as a gift. This way I know they will make good use of it. Not to say that I do not give surprise gifts, I definitely do and I love to find something and think “xyz would love this” but knowing exactly what a person wants is also great.
apple 2. i'm a teacher of high schoolers. yes, them sitting in each others laps and kissing in class is excessive and i'd tell them to stop, but she made it such a huge deal the kids started doing it on purpose to mess with her so she separated girls and boys. that's a bit much. and what do you expect them to do at that age when they have nothing to do? every friday no assignment? seriously? we already don't have enough time to teach all the standards. that's not teaching them time management skills or anything. i can see making every friday a work day where they can catch up on missing work, but a free day to do whatever they want? let them do what they want with no structure, that's what happens. she brought all that on herself.
I agree. And maybe this is just me, but I don't really care if my students are sitting on each other. Making out is clearly not appropriate for the classroom, but if the kids are just hanging out during free time and not being otherwise innapropriate, I just dont see the issue personally.
I agree too, I don't think good apple is the right apple because it was a little excessive.
And many middle school relationships end in fights. There is also a lot of drama surrounding middle schoolers.
This is my weekly pick me up and youve always been my comfort channel! ❤️
Story 1 : pain creates change, from the words of Dusty Thunder.
mrs rogers not the crab apple on the first one😭 sometimes in life you gotta get a little petty
Story 3: Im a crafter and i love to give hand made gifts, however, only to those who will appreciate the effort. If the recipient doesnt want hand made and specifically gave me a list of something they want instead, wasting my time and energy on something they dont want seems spiteful.
My little brother is 26 and has autism, and he still has disney princess birthday parties since he was like 5.
Story 3 all that needs to be said is stop giving me homemade crap when I tell you exactly what I want and even send you links
I haven’t missed one video since the start. 117 Tuesdays later.
BTW I'm 13 so my opinoins may be different than yours because I've only experienced so much story 1 I'm going to go crab apple because like Rebecca said I'm glad she's standing up for her child but I feel like the melishisness behind it because what if the child wants a relationship with the grandad when he's older and I do feel like flipping him off would make the entire thing a worse meaning it may be difficult to have a relationship with with the child's grandad and the mom to have a relationship with her dad and I feel like this situation could be handeles differently but that's what I think but story 2 first off all I've had middle school relationships have I ever been all up on them in class no I havnt and like Rebecca said there's a time and place that wasn't the time and the teacher shouldn't be allowing that I class but that's in my opinoin story 3 I have feelings abt this me and my family are lower class so I do craft 50 percent of there gifts. Because I love crafting I craft 24/7 but I do get them or try to get them what they want along as a few hand made gifts up but they do have combined finances so I do feel like the wife is just trying to share what she crafted And she did give him book marks so she does pay Attention of what he like but again like Rebecca said he could have communicated it differently so I'm gunna go crab apple because they both have good Attentions it could have been communicated differently because communication is key 🔑 in a relationship bu that's how I feel story 4 good apple 🍎 because she's almost an adult and she needs to learn from her mistakes and she might believe that s
Stealling is ok going into adult hood so I feel like it's completely ok to teach her there are conciquinses for ur actions so the aunt is the good apple and I say this and I have stolen before from my mom when I was younger mind u I'm 13 this happend when I was abt 7 and my mom confronted me abt it and had a talk with me abt it I gave her the money back and I havnt done it since because I learned that stealing is wrong but that's my opinions and experiences what did u get? But yea that's how I feel by feel free to reply😊
I think your responses are very well thought out. Especially for the last story. I agree, if you do something wrong a child or adult should be accountable. They should learn from thier mistake, like you did, and try to make things right. Once a person can accept they did something wrong, it hurt someone else in the process and they choose to make amends to show they truly regret what they did and understanding the pain on those around them, that is when a person truly shows they are growing wiser and kinder.
@@alinah69thank you I appreciate ur response❤
I think for the 3rd story, if she loves making homemade gifts, then the best idea would be for her to make the homemade gifts and get him something. Like the book and the homemade page holders. But it is also important to be know your partner and know what they love, so they feel loved and seen, so a homemade wood bookmark, and the book he wanted, best of both worlds. I would go crab apple, though, because the way he said was unnecessarily mean and hurtful.
10:43 I remember when I was in high school my boyfriend at the time he’s now my ex, but I had severe social anxiety, so sitting in the hallways overwhelming for me we had a skywalk at our school, and underneath the skywalk was a little stairwell that led to an area about the size of a small classroom with nothing in it, and then a door that lead down to school basement me, and my ex were sitting down there one day, just talking and watching TH-cam videos we were cuddling, but we weren’t doing anything inappropriate, and I remember hearing footsteps coming down the stairs and seeing our principal he asked what we were doing and I simply responded. We just wanted somewhere that was less crowded because I was really getting anxious around all the people. He smiled and nodded and he told us it was fine if we were down here, but he expected us to behave ourselves because there wasn’t usually a teacher down there to supervise since students weren’t really supposed to be down there he said as long as we didn’t go into the basement it was fine we could be in the small square room area and he said as long as we weren’t doing anything inappropriate, and we were just sitting here talking, cuddling, watching TH-cam videos. That was fine. I’m really thankful for my principal for allowing us to use that spot because every day we went there during lunch and before class just to get away from the crowds of people it was a lot easier on me. Sometimes we would sit in the hallway near the teachers lounge if it wasn’t as crowded, but most of the time we will be down there, because the hallways will be extremely crowded with my social anxiety, and it really helped having that little spot that I could escape too, and it really made me feel good that he heard us out instead of just accusing us of doing something wrong. He just came down and sauce and knew that we were too trustworthy students and asked her what’s going on and sure enough every now and then him or a different teacher would come check on us while we were down there and it would be the same thing. We would always just be watching a TH-cam video Or talking and I just was thankful he understood why we went there The first time he found us down there I had apologized to him right away, and said if we weren’t supposed to be down there, we would gladly go back upstairs to the main hallways, but I had just explained about my anxiety, and he completely understood
Truly, I can’t avoid myself watching this series my obsession would make a psychiatrist cry
Re finding this channel is a blessing!!!!
It’s a lot easier getting gifts for my younger relatives but with me and my older relatives we usually just give each other gift cards
Story 2: good apple. It’s a school and they’re young.
Ohhhh thank you for posting this! I love this series so much
1. I'm going to straight-up say I love the Disney Princesses. They broke boundaries and were all-around more badass than any bulked super. For real, have they watched those movies? They can use some lessons from it. Beauty and the Beast (my favorite) should tell you not to judge books by their covers. The Little Mermaid should tell you the heart wants what it wants. Cinderella should tell you not to treat the odd one out disrespectfully because she handles a lot more than you can fathom. Tea parties are super fantastic too! Great mom right there!
Story 2 seems off. She says she is 20 and is teaching middle school. Didn't say it was her first year doing it just that she was a teacher. I am pretty sure you need more university time than that allows, in most states, than what she gave us. I have a feeling it was rage bait.
As for the question. You need to pick your battles. Now that is all the kids will remember from her class. Not the lessons, not the stories behind whatever she is teaching. So she went about it wrong. She should have gotten the principal, vice principal, or a counselor involved.
So bad apple for a fake story. Crab apple for how she handled the situation.
My first relationship was when I was 8. Some say that "you're too young to know". I kissed her in class and my Grade 3 teacher told us "not to do it in class". So at the end of class we kissed outside the classroom door. Our teacher said "I told you not to kiss at school". I retorted with "You told us not in class. This is outside class" he clarified he meant no kissing at school.
That relationship lasted 3 years. I went on dates with her every week, we bought eachother gifts and cards.
... Then I got into a relationship with a girl I met through Scouts when I was 12 and she was 14 😂. During that relationship she turned 15 and wanted to "take things to the next level". And I ended up breaking up with her about 18 months into the relationship because I was 13 and not ready for anything... Like that ...
... Point being kids will get into relationships and work out life without a teacher or parent breathing down their neck. Sure, watch the kids, make sure they're happy and feel like they have a safe space to talk to adults if they need.
Story 2- I am a teacher and if I gave my students every Friday to just "veg" I would get in so much trouble. Give middle schoolers nothing to do, they will find something to do that you may not like.
Coming from a older teenager here's my opinion on the Second Story I have seen a lot come from kids my age when dating 12 to 15 is when kids are discovering themselves their bodies and their sexuality I think dating around that age is important because it teaches you a lot about yourself and how to function in a relationship and not saying kissing in school is okay you should definitely keep that very separate and it's good to keep the kids separated I'm totally fine with that I literally know girls that have done the deed before age 13 that's why I think it's important that the teacher does separate them and stops them from going too far at school this is just my long way of saying dating at that age is normal but it is totally a good idea to separate them so the couples aren't doing that during class
If you love this series
👇
Middle school for me was 6th-8th grade. I was 13-15 years old. So I wasn't 10-12 years old then. But I still agree with you. Middle school or high school, don't make out in the halls. If that's what's happening then the teacher is right. If the kids are just snuggling or pecks on the lips or cheeks then that's fine. Depending on the ages. (Again depends on the age bc it depends what grades are middle school in what places)
The Mom in the last one just doesn't want to have to pay her sister back.
Story 2- I feel crab apple because I don’t think it’s appropriate to have pda in the classroom but telling them that you will split the class room up because they are in the hallway which is not necessary in your job description. Obviously if they are being sexual then you should tell them off but also I don’t like how op thinks if they spot up the classroom between genders because that wouldn’t necessarily stop the problem, plus what about LGBT relationships and non binary students who would feel uncomfortable being apart of the group.
I think op should have gone to the parents and discuss the situation with them instead
This is what I came here to say! Tell they to get off each others laps, tell them not to make out, separate couples, contact parents sure but don't segregate the children by gender. That's just too far. Plus if every coworker said they were over the top we might be missing part of the story too.
Story #3. Crabapple. I understand where he is coming from. About 20 years ago, I only wanted a particular ornament from a company that destroys all of the ornaments that are not sold before Christmas. It was about $10. I showed it to my now ex many times. On Christmas Eve, there were still several at the store that was a couple of miles down the street. On Christmas Day, I opened an ornament box with an ornament that looked nothing like the one I showed him. The one I had shown him was a bell. The one in the box had a train and lit up. I tried to hide my disappointment. I knew that if I could find the one I had wanted, it would be from a collector site and massively more expensive. Later, he asked me why I wasn't very enthusiastic about my gift. I told him that I was sorry. I tried to hide my disappointment because it wasn't the one I had shown him. That is when I found out why and why I am still angry about it to this day. His friend, Casey, was having an affair with his teenage assistant and they had just been caught by his wife. My now ex-husband said that girlfriend was going Christmas shopping and he gave her a $20 bill to buy me a Christmas ornament made by that company. I was no longer disappointed. I was fuming mad. He asked his friend's affair partner to pickup my gift! I never put that ornament on the Christmas tree. On the other hand, I have made gifts for people and they were not appreciated. So, I get the wife too.
Story #2 As a Mom of 4, 3 are teens and the youngest is 3 next month... 100% good apple!!! There is NO way I want my 12yr old to be sitting on our having someone sitting in their lap! Not appropriate, especially for school!
I was also having trouble deciding what I thought about the 3rd story. OP seemed kinda ungrateful to me at first, especially since I love giving and receiving homemade gifts. But I also believe that the gift should be more about what the receiver wants than what the giver wants to give them (within reason, of course). I really like your conversation idea and think it could be helpful. However, I'm going with good apple because OP has already spoken to his wife about this multiple times. We don't know what he said, but it sure seems like the wife is ignoring what he's told her he would like, good intentions or not.
That 3rd story about the homemade gifts. I heard that exact story word for word on another account where they put up stories from reddit. I wonder has the guy put this on reddit before sending it to you. I wonder why if he did.
I agree with you on both crab apples. #1 The flipping off your family after the tea party, almost says I'm doing the tea party to get your family upset so I say Bad Apple. If he had the just done the tea party and said this is what my son enjoys, I'd say 100% Good Apple. But the fact the family is pressuring him to do the Superhero theme, that is Bad Apple. So, I say Crabapple for the whole story. #3. I agree with you about communication being important. If the husband did communicate his feelings about the gifts, then it's Good Apple.
My husband and i also have a joint account and when birthdays and holidays come around we buy our own gifts and say that this is my present, and we can get each other something small to open.
Pumpkin Spice Chai sounds amazing 🤤
12:27 I’m getting the impression that this guy isn’t trying to be rude and genuinely doesn’t understand how he may be sounding ungrateful
in that case it maybe cultural, some cultures are just grateful out of politeness first so him saying straight no might sound rude
#1: There's a point to be made, but using your words, in this case, may have been a better option. Have the tea party and film it. Make a heartfelt declaration of your love and support for your son. I would go so far as to give and ultimatum. "If you can't accept my son the way he is, you don't have to be in his life." I'll go Crab Apple because the message is good, but the delivery needs work.
#2: During class, each child needs to be in their own seat. Otherwise, it's down to what is appropriate according to the school rules. If it's just because OP has a problem with middle schoolers being together, it's none of her business. I'll go Crab Apple just because she's taking it a little too far making a girls side and a boys side.
#3: If I were the crafty wife, I would buy the book and make bookmarks to go with it. Like you, I'm not good at asking for things. I would rather be the giver, not the receiver. I do think, also, you're right about communication. For the same reasons, I'm going Crab Apple.
#4: Teaching right from wrong and accepting the consequences of our actions are BASIC PARENTING GUIDELINES. If we don't teach kids not to steal as children, what's gonna happen when they're adults? I absolutely hate when parents excuse their children's behavior because they're children. That's what makes entitled a-holes when they get to the age where they should already know better. Teach them young, and there won't be problems like this later. Good Apple, auntie.
Story 2 good apple. Middle schools should not be dating..
I think it's quite an important time to start dating that is the ages when they're discovering themselves and their sexualities and it's important to experiment and figure out who you are obviously in a safe way but if you stop middle schoolers from dating I promise you they will find a way to do something worse together
Trying to be strict like this is only going to make a kid more secretive. Strict parenting doesn't raise good kids it raises secretive kids.
@@marcywu5005 I disagree I am 60 and I was not allowed to date. I could go to a school function with a boy. I don't think we called it that in the 1970's.
@@RuthParsil There are of course exceptions to every rule but the more common outcome is that these kids learn how to keep secrets. My siblings and I were raised pretty strict and we learned how to be secretive because of it. Not being strict enough is also a problem but there is definitely too strict. Every child is different and usually require different strategies.
@@marcywu5005 I agree with your last statement.
Story 3: he mentioned they had conversations multiple times, he already followed your advice so it's def not crab apple
Story 4: Miss girl I need to come by your house!
Story 1: good apple. I wouldn’t have done the same but he’s just being a protective dad.
Story 3: Good. I'm not the only one who was questioning about the conversations between him and his wife. I think Rebecca might've missed it or something. If I were to give them rankings: Op - 0/10 and the wife 4/10. The wife doesn't listen and does her own thing.
The wife with the homemade gifts probably thinks that he will go buy the book he wants anyway. She may also feel like it's a copout to just buy something he asks for especially since she is using their combined money which he earns most of! But she could have done both. I agree that they aren't communicating very well. Overall, I am someone with low or no expectations for gifts so if someone gives me something I'm grateful. Things I really want I usually buy for myself. I'm single so that that probably is a factor in my thinking as well.
yes for me there are some communication issues, specially since we don't know how these arguments have gone or much of how thw wife sees the situation, it could be a cultural issue or a family thing or that she thinks homemade gifts are more meaningful, and there are people that think unless you spent money on it it isn't a gift so IDK
@@joannetompkins7833 honestly in my opinion she is the bad apple. I personally like home made gifts and I like giving homemade gifts. But it seems like he has tried telling her that he doesn't and that he has tried telling her the stuff she would prefer. So toe she was being inconsiderate and wasn't thinking of what he wanted but of what she wanted. I normally buy what I want ninety percent of the time. But I do stop myself from buying a few things that way I can tell my family and friends what to get me for holidays and stuff. But that's just me
Oh hey you were here?!? Hope you enjoyed Boston 😂
Story one: Good apple. It's your child and you can do whatever makes him and you happy. Flipping someone off is just icing on a cake.
Story two: Good apple. Like you said time and place and plus they are too young. I remember what I was doing at that age. 👀
Story three: I heard this one before. Good apple. She does this on purpose and if he did that to her she would have been P.O we all know it.
Story four: Good apple! Get your money back OP. Hold your niece accountable!
I completely disagree with apple #2. Tell the kids in your class to stop, and sure, write them up if they dont. In the hallway, sure, *MAYBE* ask them to stop, but thats it. Threatening to separate them by GENDER!? Unacceptable. First of all, thats just not okay, thats such a form of discrimination. And second of all, its *middle school.* There are so many kids going through identity crisises and gender dysphoria, separating them by their gender is so *cruel!* Bad apple!
Story 1-Good Apple
Story 2-Crab Apple (because of the hallway thing but if it was just the classroom good apple)
Story 3-Crab Apple
Story 4-Good Apple
Story 1: I agree with Rebecca that this person is a crab apple. 100% let boys like what they wanna like, especially if they're choosing non-violent role models. My concern is, if she's not going no contact with her family, and they are the types of people who think that boys have to like superheroes and can't like princesses, they might be setting him up for further mistreatment by sending them videos of him doing traditionally "girly" things as a way to spite them.
Story 4 good apple.
For story two, there is a huge difference between 5th and 6th graders and 8th graders. So for me that dictates my answer.
Just heard about Hurricane Helene hitting the east coast, and if I remember right you live near there. I hope everyone is okay!
For the gift story, I kind of see both sides, but I absolutely think the wife needs to adjust her perspective while the husband is missing a deeper motivation. This sounds like she's giving gifts based on what *she* feels is meaningful, not based on what the recipient would appreciate. That's all well and good when you don't know them all that well, but part of gifting is showing that you understand and care to listen to someone's preferences or can anticipate their wants. I would not say the husband is a bad apple, but there is definitely some deeper conversation that needs to happen about the feelings rather than the money. The husband is not understanding the wife's motivations, and the wife isn't understanding the husband's frustrations. Use your words, and get to the bottom of the *why*. Try to see one another's perspectives. Maybe wife could buy something the husband wants and also hand-make an accessory for it.
Story 1 i agree, be respectful, dont feed into it
DUDE... they shouldn't be sitting on each other at school. Your body stays to yourself.
If they were in high school like maybe kissing or lap siting (still not both at the same time) but middle school neither is appropriate on school campus
I beyond love you channel my mom and both my grandmothers on my moms and dads side were teachers and I beyond support you for leaving your teaching job I would beyond love to get to know you better my closest friends are Jewish as well
Store 3: I’ve seen that episode of the fairly odd parents 😏 Just don’t ask for a super bike 😅
In the story about the man whose wife doesn’t make a lot of money and make gifts for people, I believe he is the bad apple I myself have a limited income, because I am disabled, and I am grateful for the small things that I do have I also want to say the disability that I have is blindness, my husband and I watch the video that you did with the woman who got kicked out of a hotel for having a service dog 20:25
For me story two is def a crab apple, as a highschooler when walking seeing my classmates blocking the wholes kissing is very annoying but splitting the class room 🤨
Story 3. My family got me things I didn't want for holidays. I was grateful. But it's one thing when I give them MULTIPLE ideas for gifts and I get NONE and I was a kid then. Yes I was spoiled. But the point was it's disappointing to not get at least ONE gift on your wish list and then just get clothes when you have too many clothes. And most of them is stuff you won't wear again because it's not your style (too girly I took after my mom wolf shirts and thin hoodies) or it's holiday dresses that you will never wear in two years because THEY WON'T FIT YOU ANYMORE (happened to me- 4 dresses that probably costed $25-$30 each for a child that I never fucking wore again. Good apple for me.
As a crafty person, I don’t like that the wife has chosen to disregard the husbands feelings and make a bookmark instead of the book. He said he talked to her about it and she purposely did not do it. Some people do not appreciate handmade gifts. You have to know who you married.
He may even appreciate a lot of her handmade gifts and think she is talented, but just not in this case because 1) he really wanted a book and 2) it’s not the kind of bookmarks he likes to use. I don’t think the issue is the gift being handmade as much as the wife not taking into account what he, or another gift-receiver, wants on multiple occasions. I love to give people handmade gifts and I love to receive them, but the gift should be something the receive actually wants. If someone wants to give me handmade jam I would be super happy, but not if it is pickled red peppers because I do not like spicy things and anyone who knows me knows that.
@@s.a.4358 I absolutely agree with this. I love doing homemade gifts. But I always keep in mind who I'm giving the gift to. I know who not to give homemade gifts to. It's not that hard to be considerate
2nd story I’m the same age range if the teacher isn’t being really rude about it which it sounds like she’s not then I feel like they should listen it’s really not that serious they just don’t want kids on top of each other during class
I thought kids in school were not supposed touch each other and keep their hands to themselves in school. I know we would get in trouble when I was in school and would HATE for my kids to be doing that in school
Apple 1: honestly this reminds me of the last week's story with the kid who has down syndrome and that kid liking Taylor Swift. Honestly, the parents of that story doesn't understand that the kid has an interest in Taylor Swift and that's final. This is just like a similar scenario of another kid with mental disabilities with them liking another thing like Disney princesses. These parents don't learn that what the grandchild likes is none of their business.
The second one seems very familiar. I feel like you may have done this one early on in this series. But I'm pretty sure you had the same verdict and reasoning, lol.
We would love a personal life update when you're ready to share 🩷
Or some of us would love that Rebecca feels no pressure to share something private
Story one, id probably do the same if i was cutting them off, so id have to say good apple.
For story 2 I agree, good apple. In middle school for me the whole school was split girls boys, like hallways, lunchroom, everything. In high-school we had strict no pda rule because most of the people were so bad about it.
Story 3 I sub, but not daily so I may only make $75 a month some months, but I crochet, so I make things for my fiance instead of buy them, I'd go crab apple until they have a deeper conversation. In my case my fiance would let me use the money as needed, or get what's needed, but I would feel that if this is what he wants he should get it himself, and I can make something to accompany it.
Story four, there needs to be a lesson learned here, for sure good apple, if police were involved she would probably have to deal with the adult system not juvie.
Love this series 😊
Ask for Sirius where people were the bad apple and want to know how to do something better. Like, plant my bad apple
Yay! I always love seeing this notification! Happy apple picking!
Story 3: So I also have trouble asking for things and gifting things, I don't have that insight of knowing the perfect gift for someone, so I just get anxious about it, my dad says to just buy anything, I normally just make an origami card, and I come from a culture that has politeness first regarding a lot of things, including gifts, so no matter what you are given you have to be gateful at the moment and just return it later or keep it in an special shelve or try to really politely say you don't like it, the bluntness OP seems to have would be seen as rude in my culture, and my first reaction was that he was being so rude. With that said when you have explicit instructions on the gift the other person wants and it is within your budget to get, I don't see why not do it and add the bookmarks as a bonus gift, then maybe OP would start appreciating the homemade gifts as a little extra touch from his wife.
I agree. I think the outbursts and bluntness may have been caused by frustration at not being heard. If he has had multiple conversations with her, I would think as a spouse, she would want to put in extra effort to show that she cares about his interest and the things he likes especially if he does that for her. My mom used to not really understand me as a kid. I was 1 of four and just was a bit different I liked rock music, quoting movies and reading all the time. My mom never really knew what to get me. I always complained to my sis but not my mom. But one day when I was an adult she finally realized that I did not enjoy the gifts she gave me because I asked her to please get me gift cards instead. She made an active effort to talk to my sis and find out the things I liked, that she knew nothing about, so she could get me something i would be excited about. This happened in my 30's. I also come from a culture similar to yours and especially when it comes to gifts from parents. My mom put forth the effort to make things better. I feel that is what the spouse is lacking, effort to make her spouse feel like she is willing to get something he will enjoy and be excited about.
Am I the bad apple for being 20 minutes late to this? 😅
Good apple. At least you showed up (I'm also 20 minutes late).
Soft crab apple maybe 😅
I was two hours late
I'm crocheting a 10-foot snake and I'm only on one foot and send 😃
Apple picking is helping though
Story 1- crab apple story 2- good apple story 3-good apple story 4- good apple
8:23 for me, it really depends on the details of what was happening with the girls like straddling the boys lap and where they like making out or was she just casually sitting on his lap and gave him a little peck on the lips my Brother was 14 when he had his first “girlfriend” and legs occasionally she would be sitting on his lap and they would give each other like a little peck on the cheek or lips, but to me that’s not really inappropriate I can see how in class it would be, but in the hallways it be fine in my opinion, but it just really depends. Was she just kind of like sitting casually on his lap and she give a Little pack on the lips or were they like literally straddling each other making out because that would not be OK for middle Schoolers.
Story 1- Good apple I think sometimes people need a good f- you to really understand what they’re doing in ridic
Story 2 crab apple she should have used it as a teaching moment- you know as a parent I don’t just tell my kid no I tell them why and she didn’t do that
Story 3 good apple - personally if he told her multiple times (which was said twice in the story) regardless of what exactly was said and she did it anyway… like what?!? she blatantly ignored what he wanted I don’t think he needs more communication I think she needs better listening skills.
Story 4 Crab possibly good only cuz that’s her sister and if she wants a good relationship with her niece and sister maybe she could have gotten them returned or worked out something for repayment and why didn’t she stop her the first time she saw a story unless it was all at once I guess?. But I think if it’s family that she likes maybe they coulda worked something out as far as repayment. I mean I could be totally wrong here but idk it’s a tough one for me. Maybe she thought she was entitled for dog walking I’m not saying what she did was right but 17 their brains aren’t fully developed and they do stupid shit. I guess I talked myself into good apple cuz ultimately even my 6yo knows stealing is wrong and she should pay consequences
Omgs!! I live in a country where everyone eats taco on Friday, not Tuesday, sooo! What are the chances that on national taco Tuesday we had taco❤
NOT over an hour gang

Story 3: I feel like at one point you forgot the part where he said he talked to his wife about this issue multiple times, and *then* she ignored his request for a book for his birthday. He has communicated with her multiple times so I don't know why we need even more communication from him. She repeatedly ignores his requests. I'd be upset also if I have said more than once that I would like my wishes to be acknowledged, and she just won't.
You talk a lot on this channel, rightfully so, about not adding in things that are not there and going based on what is given. What is given is that the wife has been told this is an issue multiple times and continues to ignore what her husband would like. Extrapolating that she thinks this is being received with love is not only adding more to the story, it's directly contradicting the information we were actually given.
Im sorry but with story 3 all i hear is "why cant i get what i want!!" Ala Veruca Salt
Story 1 is so similar to a story from last week - son with autism and last week down syndrome I think, birthday parties in both cases. Why choose such a similar story?
1 hour club
Story 2- splitting up the classroom girls and boys is excessive.
No it really isn’t. It is her classroom and she is free to conduct it how she sees fit to assist the children in self regulating their wants and desires. Not a big deal. What is a big deal is having a middle school child pregnant. It happened when I was in MS 37/38 years ago and am sure it has happened since. It is not appropriate to be hugging, kissing, sitting on, or rubbing up against your relationship person at school, period. Also, I am not a prude but kids need to learn these things just like the 17 yo stealing perfume. Time and place as well as being age appropriate. Holding hands and sitting next to someone is what is appropriate, if that is even needed. 21:30
@@bobertforher Still though, it’s a bit extra. Not to call you old or anything, but things are a lot different than they were 37/38 years ago. It’s okay to split up couples, but splitting the room boys and girls…? For one, gay kids. Two, it’ll probably just fuel the hand holding and lap sitting. Kids in MS are rebellious, and will most definitely NOT be swayed by a teacher splitting them up w/ their partner
@@Ja7nD03 I am not old yet, I am 50 and just starting to season, you will know one day. Was it a same sex couple or an opposite sex couple? Also, at any age you need to learn time and place for certain behavior. If you are at work and your SO comes to take you to lunch are you going to sit on that person’s lap at your desk? No that is inappropriate. I kiss, peck on the cheek/lips and a quick hug, ok. However, that is an adult relationship not a child one. Rules and boundaries are set and expected and they need to be respected. They are not excessive or anything that is too far out of reach. My daughter had a boyfriend in MS, they would hold hands and give a side hug. That is appropriate behavior for middle school students. Learning to talk and deal with feelings is difficult. MS is just the start of the journey. Helping kids to go slow and understand what they are feeling and experiencing is normal. I ended up at an all girls HS so coed MS is where I learned communication with the opposite sex.
@@bobertforher Yes, however separation of the two genders is just disrespectful, and very old school. She could’ve done anything; phoned their parents, separated them. But punishing the whole class is just wrong. Along with that, if there was someone who identifies as non binary, what are they gonna do? Nowadays, you can’t separate by gender alone
@@Ja7nD03 I guess they go in the middle, that really solves it all. However I see your point. How would you help separate them if it was you?
Why does story 2 feel like a carbon copy of one from the early days of this series?
I remember it from when she did Am I the Bad Apple via Livestream. Glad I'm not the only one who got deja vu.
With number 2, I'd have gone crab apple just because it seems excessive to split up ALL the boys and girls because some students can't stop making out. Also, what's the plan for the non-binary kids?
hey Rebecca
With number 4, she should 100% be held accountable, but I would say to remember they are family, and you can teach that while still showing love. She should pay it back, she should see that op is angry, but she shouldn't be cut off from one mistake without being given a chance to prove herself first.
I just wanted to add that you kept saying these are 12-year-olds but middle school is three grades so it would be 12 to 14-year-olds I’m just saying this because some kids can get offended if you say a 14-year-old is 12 and most people-start dating around 15 or 16 so I don’t really think 14 is bad you know I’m not trying to be rude
Story 1 crab apple. Good to be supportive of son. You don't flip off your parents.
I disagree with that last sentence. Some parents are awful. Children do not owe their parents anything. They did not ask to come into this world. Parents owe their children EVERYTHING!!!! If you want/choose to be a bad parent AND grandparent… you sometimes deserve to be flipped off. Respect is earned and can be taken away.
@@Claireannette77 In my Era of growing up 1960 's and 70's you did not flip off or swear at adults. My mother was appalled when I started teaching in the 1990's how disrespectful the students were to me.
@Clementine14 Very true statement we are always learning. Yes, the 60's were not pretty.. Thanks for the compliment.
I think the first story should have been a good apple I mean come on why are you guilt tripping a child into not having the birthday that he wants just because the father is saying oh he can't enjoy that he's a boy it's sexist and disgusting you need to teach your kids to be open-minded not to be close-minded like the father is obviously being I would have literally flipped double flipped off the camera at the father if that my dad ever did that to my kid
Hello mate I like men
