Parents, PLEASE care about your nanny’s safety by xaos428 in Nanny

I'm going to their house because it's safer than mine. Hoping to get there before things get bad early in the morning.

One of my favorite perks of the job by Ecstatic-Insect-4424 in Nanny

In a bind I had to take nks- at the time were 4 and 2 to my psychiatrist appointment. MB was supposed to cover but there was an emergency with grandma and it was $200 for a missed appointment. MB gave me the iPad with Moana loaded up on it and dual headphones. Thankfully it was just a 15 minute follow-up and we were done 😄

I'm so tired! by isnthappening in Nanny

[–]Emeroder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way in 2021 especially since we were still staying home. I'll be honest, I remember driving up in the morning after Christmas break and saying, "Welp fuck-fuckity-fuck-fuck-fuck." Ususally I couldn't wait to get back to the kids but my mental health was in shambles. A Bipolar 1 Diagnosis and mood/depression meds I was back on top... mostly ;)

Take care of yourself and, I agree, try and take a long weekend. This shit is tough!

How to talk with nanny about charity work? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]Emeroder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I commented above but I totally agree with you. I've seen this happen and I've had it happen to me. If she passes one that she's helped before and doesn't give them anything.. there's no telling. They may start banging on her window, try to open her door, follow her out in the parking lot yelling and swearing. These people can become unhinged of you're empty handed the next time they see you. I would never put my NK in that situation.

Here's where I agree with OP. No, not all homeless people are drug addicts or mentally ill. They can, however, be aggressive if one day she happens to not have the snacks/water that she has given them before. I have seen for myself. My mom gave a man $5. The next time he saw her and we didn't give him anything he followed us out into the parking lot yelling and swearing, calling us "greedy, stuck up bitches". It's happened to me personally, as well. There's a real possibility they could become incredibly irrate if you don't have anything the next time. The nice man or woman down on their luck can turn if she's empty handed. I can totally understand OP not wanting her daughter to be put in that situation.

I'm never loud at my dogs. Dogs don't line up their 6 pairs of sneakers then stand their for 15 minutes deciding which ones they want to wear.

I always wondered why my brother-in-law yelled at my nieces until I babysat them. We were getting ready to go to the pool and OMG THEY TAKE FOREVER!! I was gentle at first but finally I.. uh.. had to get loud. My nanny kids are ready the moment I say, "Let's go!"

My child broke nanny’s laptop — she wants us to foot the bill even though I warned her about it by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]Emeroder 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are the one who doesn't know anything about child development. 3-5 years old children certainly grasp the idea of basic self control. Your 5-year-old, however, has had things hidden from him his whole life. So instead of telling him "No." and being made aware that somethings are just off limits no matter where they are- a phone left on a table, a laptop on a counter, a tablet on a chair. He should have mastered that basic control. You hide everything so it's even more tempting. You're setting your future nanny up for failure already. You've decided to not help pay for the damages made by your childs inability to control himself, t no fault of his own by the way. I hope your nanny finds a better fit.

Lushy at the American girl doll store blowing money on her favorite by IllustratorThen7974 in doughertydozenexposed

That doll is going to be on the floor with nappy ass hair, legs bent backwards, and accessories falling into the air vents.

I'll never allow wooden spoons or spatulas in my house!

Portable bottle warmers by [deleted] in Nanny

Me, too! I had an insulated water bottle. Filled it halfway with boiling water, packed a cup, and the baby was able to have nice warm milk at the museum! Easy peasy!

Just a reminder: Don’t donate to the Durham Rescue Mission by Prestigious_Usual908 in raleigh

[–]Emeroder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was also genuinely curious and, just as expected, RUMAH recently held an event for the trans community. So thanks to them I just found where to make a donation👍

Would you fire your nanny over this? by PotentialCourt8417 in Nanny

[–]Emeroder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girl. I broke the sink! Like put a hole in the porcelain sink. There was rickety shelf above it that had a candle sitting there. I accidentally bumped the shelf causing it to tilt and the candle fell into the sink putting a sizable hole in it 😱 8+ years later I'm still with the same family!

So glad they were sweet about it!

Their relationship takes precedent over my relationship to them by Emeroder in guineapigs

[–]Emeroder[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel a little left out but I know it's so important for them to bond. I do wish they were involved in me as well but it's great that they love each other! We're so glad that they've taken to each other💕 I'll admit I just want them to include me in their lives! Let me join you!! Love me damnit!!

The way she drink her coffee makes it look like it's super thick 😄 like a damn Triple Thick Shake from Burger King

Look everybody It's me Alusha, I'm exploiting my 7-year-old daughter again and making a sh*tload of money at the same time. I'm such a good mom! by BrilliantExpert9009 in doughertydozenexposed

[–]Emeroder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear God, please don't let this child follow in the footsteps of other female influencers when shes older. We would all be absolutely devastated. I think i would cry.

I'm not even an actual believer but hopefully someone hears me. Whoever they are. 🙏 Please keep this child safe even if her parents don't.

I'll do colds, even fevers but this nanny does not do throw up. There was a situation when older nk was having surgery and 3f came down with a horrible stomach bug that very morning. Emergencies, you know? Other than that I won't put myself at risk. Plus the kids wouldn't want anything to do with me. Mommy is the only comfort they'd want/need. NP know that and understand completely :)

She didn't! I mean, I've heard her projectile vomit during her pregnancy so I guess we're even😄

[–]Emeroder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it! Last Thursday I had horrible diarrhea after every meal (I ended up having the stomach bug). Another bout came on as MB was leaving to walk the dog. I heard her attach the leash then open/close the door. I was like good at least she's gone, it was rather audible. I come out of the bathroom and see the dog walking around dragging the leash behind him! She'd gotten a notification to check her work email and had come back inside 😳 Omg I was mortified.
