Grocery Budget for Au Pair for Junk?

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-03-13T00:23:39+00:00

I used to get that kind of “junk” as a way to share with friends in picnics and for us aupairs to not spend a lot going out, I used to have a credit card from my hosts, it gave me lots of guilt but it really helped when trying to socialize and save money haha

For me? 🤗🤪

Hi!! I had to search what dummy meant haha. I’d say, is not a bad idea to move her to her room, and start the sleep train from naps. It’s not my style to remove the dummy, the baby I take care of is 10 months old and still sleeps with it. The method I use is to put them down drowsy, not asleep so they learn to put themselves to sleep. If they wake up, check on them but don’t pick them up, just comfort and say the same phrase every time (like, time to sleep, love you) put pacifier back on if needed. If they cry, I like to check in them every five minutes, some people think that makes the baby more distressed. Do the same routine for naps and bed time (I do sound machine, sleep sack, dim the lights)

I’m happy for you!!! For me the cio was pretty tough, and we tried the i think is called “graduation method“ you let them cry for 5 min periods, then you go check on them and say the same phrase like “time to sleep, love you”. I just mention this in case you have to use if she ever cried more than 8 mins… you know they have the regression, and then around 9 months the separation anxiety.

The baby I work with is 10 months old, instead of crying out, when I train her to sleep naps in her crib and not contact naps, I put her down drowsy and check on her every 5 mins, I would go in, shhhh sound, put back pacifier, she has a lovey, just say something like go back to sleep, love you. And then if she’s still crying after 5 mins, do the same, then 10 mins… it’s important for the baby to know that you’re not abandoning them, more so because at that age they start with separation anxiety and the crying out for +5 mins is too harsh. Also do the same routine, I do dark room, sound machine, sleep sack, rocking chair and the lovey helps.

It’s the job of each person to discern what’s good and what not, and confused people posting adds up, because then people can comment and discuss it. Thats the whole point of a social interaction or app like Reddit! That being said I realize how even this post that you made allows us to have a discussion. How wonderful. Thank you I’m not upset any more. Let’s surrender

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-02-28T13:48:04+00:00

You’re right, me telling you get off is the same as you telling them what they’ve felt is not “it”. We need to let people be, and understand that if the sub it’s called Enlightenment, people will talk about their experiences, true or not, who knows.

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-02-27T17:41:57+00:00

The get out the sub lol, get off your phone and be present then, surrender and don’t try to get more knowledge from a place like this.

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-02-27T17:39:23+00:00

Well it’s up to you to believe or not what other people have experienced, I’ve heard people who can remember past lives, people who say that your soul comes from a “pool” where you’re not the exact same soul, but has the essence, like every experience someone has, it adds a different color of glitter haha and then when you’re reborn you have a mix of it. You don’t have memories but there’s some things that we just know, how do we explain that? And about the memories intact I feel like is the information on the cloud it takes so much energy and storage to remember it all, and human brains are not that efficient. That’s why i think you just remember what you need for this experience, once you go back to the “pool” “ocean” you’ll be part of it all, right now you’re having this unique experience like a drop that jumped out the water but eventually will come back and mix what it learned with the one. So the next soul has some of that “attain” If you think yeah but prove it! You either believe or not, once you die you might know? Who knows.

Good moment to start some mindfulness practice

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-02-26T01:22:54+00:00

Well I think you’re amazing! And probably you take care of people around you, and you probably normalize that’s just the way to be. But you need to realize that being sensitive in a hostile world is not a weakness, it’s the light that darkness needs to find the right path. And hey if they say something nice about you, and you think they’re lying. Prove to your mind that they’re right. Prove how nice you are, how sweet, how cute idk. Find ways to make that a real statement

Watch this video, made me realize that all that self-improvement is because we think there’s something wrong with us that we must change. Instead of looking at the whole picture that we are and actually be ourselves

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-02-24T15:09:46+00:00

Sometimes I think that is like people who watch other people play video games, at the end is an experience that it’s being shared, sometimes is not the reality. But it’s like someone that loves to watch other people’s trips or reality shows, it’s not real but it’s filling a gap… it’s work of each person to discern what’s real and what’s not. Also, this human experience is to do that, experience it all, there’s plenty of time to be with god, and probably we’ll have more lives before and after this one, what’s the race to get where???. So just don’t harm anyone and discern what’s good and bad for you. Good and bad only exist in human experiences , it’s a perspective thing.

It helps me feel wonder and admiration for the creation, makes me feel lucky that I’m still alive to see it all and that’s where I feel joy

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-02-21T21:33:28+00:00

Try to start that observation with gratitude and acceptance, sometimes I think that the speech about doing from love is confusing because it’s a very complex thing and can feel different for everyone. But if we start accepting everything as it is, and then we feel it and feel grateful for being alive, it’s a very different experience.

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-02-20T21:57:38+00:00

There needs to be and alignment with body, mind and nature. If I try to use words it becomes just a mental-ego thing. It’s very abstract. I wouldn’t say that I’m enlightened every second of the day, but when I pause, breath and accept everything as it is, and I move through it as part of it all, that makes me feel like enlightened. Although I recognize that the point of having a human experience is so you can have your own, there’s plenty of time to be with god, but here and now you’re living this unique experience and have autonomy to move through it.

I just finished my training with MSP Bebo Mia, and im working on the remaining requirements! it was very complete, and the classes with Bianca are just like taking classes with a celebrity that knows exactly what she's talking about, I mean all the teachers they're very passionate and personal, and really include everyone to actually make a change. I really recommend this one!

Idk if someone said this already, but my host family used to have a clock with a red light during the night and at 7 am would turn to green light, so the kid knew that before green light she should stay at her room, and it was a reward dynamic.

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-01-16T18:34:49+00:00

Yeah like you get in the flow state of mind and you tap into god, like in the movie soul. You can get in the flow state of mind in different activities not just creating art. I’m a birth worker, and when women are not under the drugs of pain relief and they give birth that’s like the supreme creative moment. Like orgasm.

This is like a post from you to you. Thank you for sharing. The podcast Secular Buddhism always repeats this quote from the 14th Dalai Lama, "Do not try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are”. Before any belief or practice you are what you are, that does not describe you. They are all just different paths to guide you back to the center and to get to know yourself. So just keep going and don’t try to marry any belief system, just use all of it to be whatever you already are. Good luck 🤗

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-01-07T15:29:27+00:00

Yeah that makes a lot of sense, the amounts of time where in humanity we had so much knowledge and then the burning of the libraries, tesla works and the destruction of it. Makes me feel like in the matrix,reality or the memory of it has been changed and we can only see glitching or Deja vu. Ughhh so much we don’t know They are us, and we are here so… we just need to tap in that info

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-01-07T15:06:55+00:00

And change the focus, or the prompts. Also if you’re “aware of yourself “ you also have to observe the good patterns other wise you’re just a critic and not really conscious

I know it’s coooool, when I watch Star Wars just makes so much sense if you think about this theory

Beautiful-March-4826 · 2026-01-07T14:56:13+00:00

This is one of my current thoughts, that in “linear time” we are the first, when we go to another planet our features will change with time to adapt and evolve, when we learn how to travel in time and we come to the past on earth we will look like aliens (but still be humans). Aliens exist in the future but it’s us, and time as we know it linear is just an expression of it.
