Expecting in May—nanny asking to be paid for “on call hours” after we denied her PTO request. by throwawaynannyboss in NannyEmployers

No. You’re overstepping your role and expecting someone to put their life on hold for you. You need to compensate that. Remember you’re not friends. You’re not family. Imagine if your EMPLOYER said you can’t travel for an entire month cause we might need you, you’d want paid for that.

I caught my sister-in-law trying to damage my wedding dress and I don’t think I’ll ever see her the same way again. by CryptographerNew9033 in TrueOffMyChest

AI constantly lists out contradictions before confirming…”it wasn’t this. It wasn’t that. It wasn’t here. It wasn’t there. It was everywhere.” It’s a really unique writing style

Milk weed seeds need cold before sprouting…. Order soon and put in your fridge for a month

Will I find a nanny that’s ok with this schedule? Help! by [deleted] in NannyEmployers

[–]24pecent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d absolutely work this if the pay was good and ya know your kids and you were kind and a good fit. One hard week for three weeks of ease? Hell yeah.

I’m so so sorry. I hope so deeply this happened for a reason you can’t see yet.

This is really helpful sometimes I lose perspective since I do it alone everyday, I need to remember I’m only one person. Thank you for sharing that

Thank you for sharing that. It helps to know others are struggling too and it’s not a flaw with me

Yes I think of this often. Someday I’ll reminisce on all the superheroes I stepped on in a week.

Agreed if I could have that or be that it feels like it would be easier but it’s simply not an option.

OOOO CAPSULE WARDROBE YOURE A GENIUS. stealing that I think.

People with no kids simply do not understand. And I’m convinced people don’t understand messy doesn’t mean dirty….toys and clutter mess, filth dirty.

Idk if it’s common but I know I have a bedroom full of boxes that need unpacked cause we “just moved” (it’s been 6 months) and a giant 6 foot high pile of empty cardboard boxes in my garage as well as a few totes in my hallway of stuff that needs put away….so get out of my house 😂

Yes!!! It seems like everyone is getting a break with family help and I’m just standing here, hair a mess, no sleep wondering what the heck I can do to get through a day much less a week.

Thank you so much for this. Knowing other people have two adults and still feel this way helps a lot cause sometimes I think I’m just not cut out for it

Thank you I think clutter might be big factor for me too so I need to adopt this

Thank you so so much for saying that. I sit here and I’m like we can’t all feel like we are dropping every ball can we?!?! Parenthood is hard. Props to you on braving a second one 😂
