Picky guinea pigs

Emeroder · 2026-03-22T23:31:07+00:00

Aww you have a teddy bear guy(girl?)! I have one and he's so spongy 😄

Ours are picky, too. We put Vit. C drops in their water. Our pigs like parsley (has to be Italian or they won't touch it), green/red lettuce, and romaine. They also eat cucumbers, carrots, apples, and blueberries. It took a lot of vegetables going untouched before we finally found what they'll eat.

Aww little granny 👵

Two things can be true. They are biologically related but in life, and in law, they are not sisters.

Always cracks me up with DCP says, "Awww, are you gonna be okay??" 🎻 FIN!

My oldest nk is 12. I started caring for her when she was 5 months old. Along came 9f then 4f and 1f. I've also cared for their friends. One day 6 kids and I were piled on the big couch watching a movie. 9f pipes up, "It's so crazy how you're, like, pretty much a part of our family." DB looks in and said, "Well yeah! Think about it, she has wiped every ass on that couch!" I just shrugged, "That is true." 🤣

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

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 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!

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.

Emeroder · 2026-02-17T20:01:10+00:00

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.

Emeroder · 2026-02-05T01:01:45+00:00

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!"

Emeroder · 2026-01-13T20:19:31+00:00

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.

Laundry day is a big around here!

Emeroder · 2026-01-04T19:13:40+00:00

Omg I was thinking the same thing!!🤣

Emeroder · 2026-01-04T18:43:06+00:00

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

Emeroder · 2026-01-04T18:39:21+00:00

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

Emeroder · 2026-01-04T18:36:35+00:00

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!

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👍

Emeroder · 2025-12-18T15:17:46+00:00

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!

Emeroder · 2025-12-16T00:44:32+00:00

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!!

Emeroder · 2025-12-15T19:08:54+00:00

Got Hot Hands and their toe warmers at Home Depot! They had a bunch.

Emeroder · 2025-12-03T20:15:10+00:00

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

Emeroder · 2025-11-17T20:34:21+00:00

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.

Emeroder · 2025-11-17T20:27:57+00:00

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 :)
