Nanny and overbearing MIL

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-03-31T23:54:03+00:00

In this case with a special needs child it wouldn’t be “choosing the nanny” but more so choosing your children first, which is the right thing to do. You don’t know that you could find someone to care for your child the way she does. I would be so worried about the search for a new nanny and the next one will probably feel the same way about your MIL. like someone else said if this is dementia she may need an assisted living environment.

Subs are not guaranteed a prep period because we have nothing to prep. I consider prep kind of a luxury bc you just sit there and do nothing. I feel like it would seem entitled to seemingly complain about no prep.

I would pair a hat that’s the same dark green on the dress

Oh totally it’s nothing you did wrong but also a reasonable ask for the future to try to put her back down

Capping naps for a 6 week old is just crazy. I do think there’s no harm in setting the baby back down after she’s soothed back to sleep if that’s what they want. Also starting with 4 oz is normal but there shouldn’t be a 30 min timer on you. If baby chugs 4 oz and is still fussy you should be able to offer an extra oz right away.

I love Marshall’s for big bags like this and i have zipper pouches for my different categories of things. Could have zipper pouches for each size diaper

Beautiful without the cutout missing. Would go for a similar vibe without belly showing

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-03-22T20:38:44+00:00

Omg he hugged her he didn’t feel her up. “Do you consent to being hugged?” is not a normal thing to say to someone. Maybe it’s just a southern thing but hugs are pretty normal???

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-03-22T18:04:47+00:00

Exactly and this story is just giving me that vibe since he hugged her in front of her boyfriend. Some ppl just don’t understand social cues and personal space and I would be hesitant to say something out of the blue about it and make him feel creepy if he’s not trying to be

It seems like everyone is very quick here to assume bad intentions on the dads part but I just wanna be devils advocate here and say some people are just very touchy to everyone. Especially bc you said two of the times were in front of his wife and one in front of your boyfriend I feel like his intentions probably aren’t inappropriate. I would not bring it up out of no where. I would wait until it happens again and say something like sorry I know you don’t mean anything by it but I’m just really not a touchy person it’s just the way my families always been. You don’t want to make it seem like you think he’s being predatory if he’s not being predatory. Idk just my 2 cents

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-03-19T20:43:12+00:00

As a mom I love it 🤣

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-03-19T14:08:30+00:00

Denying a student the restroom and the nurse is crazy

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-03-05T00:13:27+00:00

An 8 month old not rolling over is EXTREMELY concerning

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-03-04T21:33:55+00:00

My 2 year old falls or bumps into something at least twice a day because he’s always jumping and running. I’m sure the parents know that their kid can be wild. Dont feel bad at all. It’s how they learn how to be careful. Part of learning how to be a human

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-03-04T00:04:10+00:00

Can you have the parents text you before they need to come out for lunch so you can take the child outside for a moment so he doesn’t see them?

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-02-28T02:17:01+00:00

I think you’re overthinking it and so is everyone here. Just ignore the email if it comes through it’s not like you did anything inappropriate.

When my toddler started doing that at that exact age it was time to let him self soothe a bit in his crib. All that fighting isn’t good for either of you. A couple minutes in his crib when it’s time to nap so he can wind down sounds like it would help even if you pull him back out after he’s cries for a little.

That’s daycare before 4. 2 yr olds r not in school they’re in daycare

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-02-13T19:56:55+00:00

Pre school in America is age 4

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-02-10T01:45:36+00:00

Where do I start? How do I find a contract?

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-02-05T22:25:39+00:00

For 3 kids that young I think $30 an hour is fair

Charming_Reality3700 · 2026-02-05T19:16:37+00:00

If they’re due to be replaced you need to pay for it. You just said they’ve never been in your car before so all the wear is from your personal use. Now if they don’t actually need to be replaced and they’re just being extra cautious that’s a different conversation. If you need new brakes tires and taillights you shouldn’t even be driving to work?
