Hurting people hurt others, and those parents have to find something better to do. Do not allow these emotional squatters to take up any residence in your life. Take care.

Sounds like these moms are frustrated that you are not intimated by them and that you know your worth. Keep being you!

Keep your head up! You’re one of the few content creators I genuinely look forward to watching every time you post. I admire you as a younger fellow black woman educator. Also, you’ve been shining lately the hair, lashes, nose ring-this is truly your ME season!

1) I have found that those that complain about the school or teachers the most would never consider doing the job themselves. When I hear people complain about my school district I want to send them an application so that they can come and show all the experienced people how it is supposed to be done. 2) The only people that I "know" in California are the KZbin people that I watch. I hope you are safe and far away from the wildfires. 3)Dogs are my favorite creatures on earth. I love when I get to see your fur babies.

You are a praying woman…pray over those moms that are watching your every move. God will take care of them.

I love your nose piercing . It looks soooo good on you!

Hey Lady just checking on you and your family. Not sure how close you are to the fire in Southern CALIFORNIA/Los Angeles . Praying!

I really like your nose ring.😊 Keep being GREAT!

"I am MORE than just a Teacher!" Words to live by! 😊 Tfs

The moms sound like they are in kahoots with the parents of the kids that were in your class last semester. Is your administrator dealing with the moms and supporting you? It’s good that you have a lot of experience in education that you can manage this kind of b.s. as it can be stressful. Are the moms also going after other teachers that have social media such as instagram? Tick tock? Facebook? If not, I would ask them what their REAL issue with you is. This is pure harassment and that’s a crime. Also, I’m in the same boat as you in the sense of reevaluating my next steps in this career. Some food for thought is you could work part-time next school year (e.g., half-day) if your district allows it, and explore other jobs with the extra time you’ll have. You could also try a “no-spend” year to increase your savings to allow you to take a sabbatical comfortably should you want to in the future.

You speak a sad truth. Teaching has become so stressful with all the extra "stuff." I totally get having to be strategic in your next moves. Take your time, explore pros/cons. Pray for discernment and direction.

I'm gonna throw this out there about these moms...Is the "company" you mentioned a couple of vlogs ago one of their exes? And obviously you don't have to respond to that, but there are so few things that I can think of that would warrant such behavior. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Parents who feel the need to monitor your classroom, especially when their child is not in your room, have TOO much time on their hands. You're a great teacher who makes learning interactive and meaningful. Keep doing YOU! ❤

Definitely keep doing YOU. Some parents need to get a life. Be blessed! Be safe from those fires. I’m here in GA. No school tomorrow because snow is expected. We are doing the teacher happy dance.

I love your piercing. I’ve been contemplating getting one for years. You’ve inspired me to go for it in 2025. Loving the Me Season!!! Thanks for sharing!!

I am sorry you are dealing with the messiness of teaching! I absolutely can relate to your experiences. I find it ridiculous that you do not teach their scholars, but they are giving so much energy to divisiveness and ignorance. Keep sharing from your classroom because they want you stop! They want to see an interruption in your life because they are unhappy! There are teachers who need to see and hear your work and dedication to students and their successful outcomes! 😊

I enjoy watching your videos. Wishing you peace and blessings. Also, the lunch box was very cute. If you don’t mind, can you please share the link for it.

If those cyber stalking moms aren’t planning on quitting their jobs to educate their own children Monday through Friday, 8 hours a day… they need to leave teachers alone. They’re apart of the problem…

I think you’re being bullied and harassed by these parents. Look at putting in a formal complaint.

Sorry Tanya. I just have to speak up. I’m in the advocating season.

We had a couple days off due to the weather, and today I put in to come in later to ease myself in.

Dear Unrealistic Moms Creeping Around on Tanya’s page, Let it go!!! How dare you impede on content that is not for you?! Rhetorical. As a parent you do not have any right to demonize anything teachers do. A hurt dog will holler ladies! No one goes to these lengths of stalking teachers online unless they have a guilty conscious. Leave her be and focus your attention on your children being up to par! Your parent behavior isn’t giving tiger mom. It’s giving creep!

I find your content uplifting and encouraging. Have a blessed New year

As a fellow teacher, I am always here to support you. You are an incredible teacher and human being and you will get through this challenge of awful people/parents. I do like the lifestyle vlogs plus a little teaching.

Before I left Education 4 years ago, I was a resource and inclusion teacher and it was SO much better than the classroom. I didn’t mind paperwork and working with small groups and assisting teachers was nice! I stopped coming home so emotionally exhausted, which was always the case as a general ed teacher. I had energy again. I came home cooking, exercising, etc! With this position, I also moved from a regular public school to a magnet school of only about 500 students total. Some of my former co workers became interventionists to leave the classroom. Eventually, the state took over the district and everything went to hell. I took it as God telling me to get out for good. Four years later, haven’t looked back. I subscribed to you in my first year of teaching in 2014❤

I hope that you and your family are safe in California from the wildfires. I also hope that you stay encouraged and let the negativity roll off of your back. You've got this!!!!🙂

Soo glad to see you! I'm happy to hear you're really focusing on yourself and what you need. Teaching is such a unique profession where it is so incredibly hard to have those boundaries and to "leave work at work." I know I struggle with it as well. I love watching your teaching videos and have learned so much from you over the last several years. I do hope you continue to post and share things about your classroom and what you're doing. But I understand if you are moving into a space where you can't do that anymore. Hope you're well and in no danger from the fires.

The fact that you don't work with their children is completely insane. These 3 parents need a life. How sad and sick, I'm sorry this is happening to you. 💜

Them having the time and energy to hate watch is pathetic and embarrassing to them and I pray you don’t feel like you have to censor yourself in any way. How about use that time and focus on loving your kid. 😊 I am really really hope you have a strong, supportive admin who knows who you are and are willing to step to bat for you because I cannot imagine having to deal with all of that drama (esp as an experienced teacher).

🎉GOD shall prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies. Psalm 23:5. Sounds like you've got hallway monitors looking for something to report. So sad. I remember a friend's story about a parent who raised hell at their child's school for 3 years. The parent made continual unreasonable demands on the school, the board, and the district. By the end of it all, this parent's own family was ripped apart in the process. I'm not sure if it was a result of the drama the parent caused with the school or if the drama with the school was started because of family problems. Sad sad irreversible ending. You keep advocating and building community. You are sharing actions of a socially & emotionally well educator. ❤❤❤

hiii , have you done a classroom tour ? i think it’s so prettyyy <3

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Those moms that "watch your every move" AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN MOMS OF YOUR CLASS are called haters. They have to troll, have an opinion and feel some type of way about you totally unwarranted. Please don't let them continue to live rent free in your brain. They don't not like you.... They love you and they hate that they are not you. You mentioned the friend who thinks so highly of you and you don't know why.... It's because you have a light and it's beautiful. I see it and feel that way too. That's why I watch. You are so put together even when you are not. I'm trying to get my life together as a single person and watching you gives me hope that I can in a very classy and attractive way. Idk if this comment makes since but in a nutshell... The way you carry yourself is beautiful stop letting people who don't matter break you down. That's what they want to do because they don't like that you are so organized, stylish , educated, attractive, just put together as an adult and not on that boring childish other vlogs that do wigs and makeup and we watch them clean their house yada yada yada

The fact that the Karen's are not even in your class is wild

I’m sorry you’re going through that with parents, especially when you don’t have their children in your class. I’m about your age, child free, and I’m not a teacher. Teachers are super heroes because kids are challenging enough throw in the parents behavior too and it’s a miracle there’s anyone willing to teach. I love your lifestyle vlogs. I hope you and your family are far away from the SoCal fires.

❤️🌻❤️🌻❤️

I hate that you’re experiencing this parental harassment.

I’m in the same predicament. I make so much in my current teaching salary that I would have a major pay cut if I leave education.

Hi! I pray you and your family are safe.

Hope you and your family are safe from the fires

Praying you and your family are safe 🙏🏿

❤🙏🏽

Hi! Hope you are staying safe ❤ Glad to hear you’re in your Me season! You deserve it, girlie 🫶🏾

I've been thinking about you and Megan and hope neither of you or your families are in the path of the fires. Take care of yourself.

I loved this my me season video. I would like to see these videos focus on you outside of the classroom. I respect what you do as a teacher but I love vlogs without you vlogging inside of the classroom. ❤ so much. Please keep doing the this is my me season videos

Yes!!! I’m here for your “ ME Season”. As a fellow middle school teacher I love hearing your thoughts on changes you are making. I hope the changes you are making continue to help you feel a better work/ home believe. I’m also excited that you are happily dating someone as well. God luck!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! So glad you took a break from uploading to enjoy your break. I pray this new year brings you peace and well-being.

I gave up my Dept Chair position because it was draining. It affected my spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. It wasn’t the teachers that I was over but administration. My word this year: ME….. I choose ME….

Love this! I just learned about Mel Robbins The Let Them Theory and plan to make it one of my first reads of 2025. Sounds a lot like what you are talking about!

Glad you are putting you first can you share the link of the dermatologist that recommended the face routine
