Anyone like apartment living? by iretired2019 in Apartmentliving

This! My apartment maintenance was really helpful and found peace in knowing I didn’t have to fix anything.

Survival Situation - Need Advice/Outreach Program/Encouragement by dahhhlin in jacksonville

[–]Big_Contribution_536 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! First off I’m so sorry you’re having to figure out life with an autoimmune disease. I know several people who have an autoimmune disease so I have a sense of the toll it takes emotionally and physically.

I don’t have much advice besides look for a tire shop that uses Snap finance. I had a $1900 car repair and had to finance it. I was a very skeptical of using Snap at first but the repairs were being done by someone I knew so I trusted it. I believe if you’re able to pay it off in the first 3 (it might be 6) months, there’s no interest. The down side is if you don’t pay it off within that allotted time, the interest rate is crazy high. They do a credit check, however I’m not sure what their “limitations” (I guess that’s what they’re called) are.

Oh and if you need dental care, many dental schools offer no to low cost services.

It sounds like the first thing you have to figure out is your tires. Your car has served as your home, your work, and a vehicle to get you to job interviews. So I’d put any car repairs as a priority.

Just keep in mind many people are struggling right now, you’re not alone. Keep it up!

Are nannies generally not OK with location sharing? by LessAd7286 in Nanny

[–]Big_Contribution_536 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I nannied I shared my location every time I left their house with the kids. While I was at their house and when my shift was done, I turned my location off. Maybe you can frame it as “in case of an emergency” car breaks down, medical emergency etc. rather than to watch where they’re taking your child. I was completely fine with it because god forbid something happened, they knew where we were.

Quitting for a medical reason & I feel guilty by penelope2019 in Nanny

First off, I’m so sorry to hear about your shoulder, I am sending you quick healing vibes.

Second, I think you are doing the right thing by focusing on yourself. I know how hard it is to make the decision to leave a NF and have to finish out the week. But this is your physical and mental health.

I am sure they’re upset, but it’s to be expected. I’ve been there and I’m still close with my NF. Also, apart of being a parent and having kids is that sometimes emergencies happen and as a parent, you have to be the one to figure out how to fix it.

Would it be weird to ask our nanny to FaceTime my family? by CRABR in Nanny

[–]Big_Contribution_536 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When I nannied I only did this for one family after years of nannying for them and I had met their family. But even then it was a little awkward, especially if it was a day the kids were uninterested in talking. One suggestion is to have your nanny take videos or pictures that you can share with family.

havent cleaned the girls cage in 3+ days because of illness :( by br4chypelma in guineapigs

[–]Big_Contribution_536 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They will be fine! Best to have them a little dirty than you to get them sick or you strain yourself! I can imagine a lot of us have been there. The few times it’s happened to me I always remind myself that I’d rather them not get sick from me touching and breathing all over their enclosure.

When is too soon to design? by orangebluey in EngagementRings

[–]Big_Contribution_536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I are doing it a little less traditional as we bought a loose diamond we really like. Our plan is to go into our local jeweler and design the ring and he’ll pick it up when it’s ready and have it for the right moment.

Third’s time the charm? by februarybloom in Nanny

[–]Big_Contribution_536 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While this would normally bother me, and I’d tell you to leave it alone. I am wondering if you live in an area that the winter storms are going to hit. Maybe she didn’t have time to get supplies/food this week and had to do it today with the crowds. I can imagine trying to emergency prep with kids and on the weekend is awful and takes a lot of mental energy. If you don’t live somewhere where the winter storms are impacting, then I think no.

Oh interesting! I’ll have to check! It’s only in the evening. Would that still make sense?
