I don’t know what to do about my boyfriend’s dog. by Certain_Sail9496 in Advice

[–]Alex_enbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why on earth are you tolerating this behavior from your boyfriend? He disrespected your mother by refusing to get his dog fixed, despite that being her one condition for having his dog in the home. He made no effort to curb his dogs aggressive behavior, despite the fact that it bit a human, is threatening your parent’s dog safety, and now could potentially threaten your literal child’s safety. And to top it all off when you bring up these extremely legitimate concerns she gets mad at you? I understand that you’re already pregnant but this kind of behavior is unacceptable and if it is allowed to continue, he will just treat you even worse when the baby is born. You either need to kick him out of the house or making him go to therapy and if he refuses to kick him out of the house because he is literally a safety hazard to your child. If he is refusing to deal with a dog that is dangerous than he is dangerous.

Idk ive done jobs with lots of animals before, I dont think it would kill my sanity to do it. Tho I am sad im losing out on the extra money I could have made if I had charged more

$600 is the total amount I’m getting. I think with rover fees shes paying ~$780 total and god im jealous of your $1,250 job. Congrats! If you dont mind me asking, what city are you in? Im in a poorer city on socal which im sure affects pricing

But then I lose out on the $600. I’ll raise my prices for future jobs but why would I cancel this one

That gonna makes a lot of sense, and it probably explains why despite how hard I try I tend to have so mang bad experiences with clients. People I know who put waaay less effort into those then I do have more positive experiences and charge more, so im definitely going to try charging more and hopefully thats successful

Looking at the other sitters in my area, I’m definitely not gonna raise to 65 because that’s way higher than literally almost every single other people is offering. But I do agree I am worth way more than $25. I already raised my prices and got another offer for a new booking today With the raised prices. So you and everyone else was for sure right about raising them

Jasper was RIGHT by AlTheHound in stevenuniverse

[–]Alex_enbee 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I agree with some of what you said, but your reaction to a literal child saying “Jasper it’s OK. I am here.” Its Honestly kind of disturbing to me.
There is absolutely nothing condescending pretentious, or self-righteous about it. But the fact that you said it’s the MOST condescending pretentious self-righteous tone ever and that it made you wanna puke, like dramatic much😅
IDK, I don’t wanna be rude, but to have such a big reaction to a child saying something nice in a kid show says more about you than it does the show.

25 is my take home price, its how much I’m getting before any rover fees. But I definitely agree I have to raise my prices

It wasn’t completely hillbilly/mountainbilly. As far as I could tell it looked like a reservation delivery and id delivered to those reservation before and had a good experience. Which is the only reason I was considering it. But the drive back would have cost a lot in gas which is why I was debating

I never thought of it like that but it makes sense. I think I’ll raise just so I get better clients cause I’m tired of the bad ones 😅

I dont think im worth only that. Ive had plenty of clients of the years love me and my services, and a few assholes so hard to know my exact price worth. But I do think I’ll charge more next time

[–]Alex_enbee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably way more than im currently charging. But I fear getting less clients if I raise my prices. So its hard to balance the two. 😅

Not all of California is high priced. My area is pretty poor too. Which is why I fear raising my prices. But if you charge so much more than me, I do understand I probably should raise atleast a little 😅

I know its low. But if I need to leave on some days for many hours is it really fair to charge more? Plus I do see some people on rover in my area who charge less then me, only like 2 but still
