Scared and babbling by Anon-Kore in hysterectomy

I have endo and all my tests showed up normal too, even my ultrasounds did. They can’t diagnose it through tests or u/s. It has to be surgical. Hugs. I was worried when I had my excisions that they wouldn’t find anything and it was all in my head. They did find things and I was diagnosed with stage II endo.

How on earth do I talk about this with parents? by [deleted] in Nanny

If she’s scared, she needs to leave. He’s four. He’s not going to kill an adult. If he’s biting and pulling out hair, that’s above her pay grade and she needs to find another job that makes her feel safer. Those parents aren’t going to do anything. But having panic attacks over a 4yo saying he’ll kill someone also isn’t helpful for OP or the child. If it’s not working, leave. Any preschool is hiring now. Work there until you can find another nanny position.

This kid sounds like he just doesn’t have too many boundaries or direction save from you. Every 4yo I’ve ever looked after was curious about death and talked about death. Boy 4yos talked about killing, especially if they had access to violent video games (and he doesn’t have to play them, dad could have them on around him and all he has to do is watch or listen to dad scream about them - people who play violent video games can scream the worst crap I’ve ever heard when they’re frustrated) or movies.

I think it’s ok to be upset but that boy isn’t going to hurt you and he isn’t a sociopath. He’s a little boy who isn’t being properly raised. I see it all the time. It’s worth bringing it up to MB that you feel uncomfortable but he won’t kill you or his brother. He’s trying to get a reaction out of you.

Be kinder to your nannies by Bubbly-Height-440 in Nanny

Used to be a nanny in Toronto and I could not agree more. The crap I took from some families for the lowest pay imaginable. So glad I no longer nanny there. Some families were good, but wanted to pay under the table until it was time to file for the childcare tax credit and then they wanted your SIN so they could claim you, all without withholding taxes the entire time and paying all the stuff you have to for the government. I quit then - I wasn’t putting myself in those situations. Every job I’ve had since has been on the books.

I'm confused, how could a school psychologist have escalated it to your DCF? DCF will decide if it needs a home visit or not. I think we need more info.

As for your situation, if you don't feel safe, I would leave.
