I spoke with my Mom today. She asked when I was going to get pregnant again.
I try not to give vague advice because sometimes it’s hard to articulate it so it makes sense. One way to take back your personal space is to task them with getting ready for a grandchild. Task them with name choices, gender preferences, random any thing that puts in back in their yard and outta yours. Give them homework , top ten names for either gender , that sorta stuff is much more then they might understand the assignment. They are tasking you with a grandchild , task them with daydreamers tasks.A follow up. I had the following text conversation with my Dad:
Me: you need to control your wife
Dad: She asked about getting pregnant?
Me: YES!!!
Dad: I told her not to ask.
Dad: But since she did is that something you guys are thinking of?
Me (after a long pause and many deep breaths): maybe
I did not type all the curse words I was thinking.
I must be really naive because I’m actually blown away by this. Obviously not with yourself but do you think this has ever worked for a parent. I can’t imagine how their kids must feel. Also the book stuff is such bullshit.Sooo... End of the school year today. I had made it all year without a father of a student hitting on me (a first). Maybe it's because I'm mid-30s now. Maybe it was just luck. But it was nice.
But fuck it all, it happened today. The last fucking day. And not just a father. A couple. That's right, the parents of one of my students suggested they'd love to party with me, either alone or with my Hubby.
Now, I'm not adverse to the idea of swinging. Hubby is, and I doubt this couple would have moved the needle for him at all. They're our age, but that's about the only thing positive I can say. I mean, for fucks sale, these are among the parents who sent me a list of "parent approved" books to use in class, and then emailed me every couple of weeks or so to make sure I wasn't using any of the 'woke' books they were hearing about on TV. And they always ended their emails with bible quotes.
I'm not religious, but I respect others who are. But it bothers me that these two were up on me all year to not use certain books and sending me bible quotes only to suggest we party with them. What the fuck? And no, I did not misunderstand what she meant by 'party'. Trust me.
You mean a parent hooking up with a teacher? I know it has. I heard the story straight from one of the participants (the teacher). The father was single, and it was after the child was no longer in her class. But it happened, and the flirting part started when the child was in her class. So...I must be really naive because I’m actually blown away by this. Obviously not with yourself but do you think this has ever worked for a parent. I can’t imagine how their kids must feel.

Oh I‘m definitely not doubting you and the example you have here I‘m in the ok two consenting adults and the child is not in the class so ok category. It’s the dynamic you describe where they’re meeting you as a professional in a professional workspace to discuss their children of all things and thinks it’s appropriate to hit on the person doing their job.You mean a parent hooking up with a teacher?

Under different circumstances, there might have been some offers over the years that would've interested me. But even now that my arrangement with Hubby could involve me being with other men, I would not with a parent of one of my students (or even former students). Too many possible problems from that.
Back pre-covid, I did have a father who was a widower left taking care of three kids. He was super sweet. He didn't really hit on me either. He just said if I were single, he would've like to get to know me better. And yeah, the cynic in my says that was a line, but I want to believe it wasn't.
