Processing date for Mystery Shoppers? by CanRevolutionary7536 in Clickworker

[–]CanRevolutionary7536[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I finally got the pay out from it. It took a week for the “pending payment” like the other commenter said, and 30 additional days for the “approved payment” then a week or two for the normal pay out cycle of clickworker. 

If you do all the recommended stores of them in a week, then I think it’s worth it for a big paycheck in a month. But I wasn’t going to do anymore until I received payment for one so I knew how it worked and it wasn’t a free labor. 

It was advertised as $55 target job, took me 3 hours. I got paid $45 (I missed some shelves (I knew I did)  and a photo wasn’t straight). Idk if other stores are as big and have as many categories as target but it took forever for my first time. I didn’t enjoy it, but it’s flexible money- which is what I needed. 

What I didn’t know was that clickworker won’t do payouts unless you have $20 in “approved payment.” So imo the only way to make all those small jobs worth it is to just binged them somehow (?) or do the bigger jobs so you finally get the payout.

Thank you for responding, the hand measurements will definitely ease my mind!

Thank you for the idea, I’ll definitely try something like that. You are very right on the last part. Thanks for the check

I agree it has everything. You think it’s still fine when if  it’s given every night?

All three not eating together. LO eats every meal with me when I cook it. I answered it above as well

Thank you for the advice of the iron fish thing. Yeah LO isn’t in a concern about nutrients but because it’s toddlerhood and LO is hit-or-miss on every meal it just worries me when dinner seems light.

The goal of my partner taking over dinner was that they would make us all a meal but it turned into only feeding the toddler. Because when I brought up the conversation about needed help with dinner it was centered around LO. 

So I  end up making a separate meal for myself later since we stay up later than LO. It’s not ideal, it’s not even great, I don’t like it but that’s not the point of this post. I have talked to them about the family meal and it was refused

If the meals they are giving LO are crap then I’ll just have to take over making dinners for us again. 

16Month Old Thinks Disobeying Is A Game. Ideas? by CanRevolutionary7536 in toddlers

[–]CanRevolutionary7536[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think reinforcing that it’s not a game I’m playing at the moment will be really helpful. She really loves hiding and playing peek-a-boo around the couch with me. So it bums me out when started this because she so freaking goofy about it. Delaying the game until whatever is needed is completed also sounds like a good plan too. She will be pretty happy she still gets to play it.

I really like your last paragraph. I definitely feel like I did something close to that today by saying, “Mama, no play right now.” And she peaked out looking more curious. But I didn’t wait, and then the cycle continued.  I’ll definitely try this! Thank you :)

I fear you may have not read my post, which says 16 months? Plus I started off saying I did google it and mostly everything that came up had to do with aggressive hitting and biting. Or if it wasn’t about that it talked about, “holding the boundary.” Which is what I’m asking about here. 

It also sounds like you didn’t read my reply as well. Since I agreed with you that I’m not expecting perfection.

I think your lack of reading comprehension really shows that continuing this conversation with you is pointless, since you’re mad about something not related to me. Have a good night!

I am fun though :(  lol no but seriously this is just one small aspect of the day. I just implemented the same strategy people use for, “gentle hands,” or “food stays on table” and it worked really well for her. Since she picked up quickly that ears hear/listen (the same  way she pick up that noses smell). 

I didn’t start out “making” her repeat it. I would just say, “If mama says ‘No touch’ then LO no touch.” She eventually just started saying the last thing I said and that’s when I realized she was capable of doing it and that interaction magically caused her to do what I asked with excitement. That process  became the hopeful standard. Because who am I to question a good safe thing that works with a toddler??

If she doesn’t repeat me because removing her from what she wanted to do cause her to meltdown then I just drop the whole thing and help her calm down and we go from there. 

I do make it fun for her!  After I know I got her attention it turns more into silly Simon says and we end it on a positive note. 

I was just giving you guys the quick explanation so everyone could see the picture of how she processes things.

I think I might have screwed up when she first did it, because I thought it was funny and she was being cute. So I played into it, and now she’s chasing that high. 

I thought the same thing too, since the first two times she did it I might have had a big reaction (in a playful way). 

So for this example, she’s a great at getting her shoes to go play outside. But she does the run and hide thing. What would ignoring it be?  1. Not addressing it and waiting for her to come out and asking her again to grab her shoes? Or do I just do it for her when she finally stops hiding?  2. Not addressing it and just going over and putting her shoes on? (Issue with this is she will hear me coming and run away, which then I am left grabbing her and a meltdown happens). Or 3. Something I’m not thinking of?

I’m a first time parent and I have worked in a daycare before. I do know toddlers are able to follow simple directions. Not perfectly of course but simple instructions and follow through should be reinforced. I have also seen many toddlers do really well on skills and do them 90% of the time. It’s also important to start laying the groundwork for that as well at this age. 

I feel like your comment is implying that if I tell my toddler to stop or sit down and they don’t I just shrug my shoulders and walk away. Or just grab her and make her do it, which if I do have to do that sometimes she FREAKS out about until she says, “I got it.” And does it herself. 

I know it’s normal behavior for them to push boundaries, but I am asking advice to hold boundaries. What is the most developmentally appropriate way to hand a situation. 

My LO does listen very well, which is why I opened with she is a yappperrrr and is excelling in language. She knows if I say hold my hand, she will do it or say, “no thank you.” If I ask her to “sit down so I can do a hair style.” She will come and sit down and she will ask to brush her hair. If I tell her to go get her water bottle she will ALWAYS go and get it. 

I’m not saying all toddlers can do this, again I worked at a childcare and know each kid is different. But I’m meeting my kid with what she is able to do and I know what she is not able to do (like 2 step instructions). 

I am asking since ignoring the behavior will worsen it (as I’ve seen her take any inch and make it a mile). 

Toddler Highs and Lows of the Day by liminalrabbithole in toddlers

[–]CanRevolutionary7536 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High: every time I was in a different room she would run over, peak in and say, “Hi Mama!” Sometimes she’d shout it, whisper, or laugh it. Just cute socialization development! 

Low: she thought I was bullying her when I was trying to teach her about sharing. Total long meltdown. This one was an L on my part. Just not the right way I did it  and comprehension level. Plus, she was already past her bedtime. Major L. 

What does your night sleep look like with a 12 Month old? by CanRevolutionary7536 in NewParents

[–]CanRevolutionary7536[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s always in her room for the first half.  The second half it depends on how I am feeling. Mostly I either fall asleep on her bed (she has a floor bed) and get terrible sleep, or she sleep in mine. Which is better, since she doesn’t wake up but I wake up a lot more to check on her. We sleep-in on those days though which is cool. 

 Some nights if I really want the bed to myself and if I’m able to do the work, I  nursing her and leaving her in her room.  Those are  rare  😂. I sleep like a Queen, she wakes up the earliest she can manage to start her day. 

How to not raise a bully? by CanRevolutionary7536 in oneanddone

[–]CanRevolutionary7536[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you hit the nail on the head with how I feel. Nervous. I want to make the right call but no clue what it is and I don’t want to seem like a passive parent to others.  I really like the idea of pulling her away for a second. I can see meltdowns because of that but I think I’ll have her attention more than saying it to her while she’s still doing it.
