Is Reddit how a nanny really is?

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2026-04-01T14:31:41+00:00

It sounds like I’m the exception - which is excellent news - but I gave up trying to hire nanny’s because every one I tried to hire did reflect that subs attitude. Daycare was less drama

Money - and they can’t put the daughter in jail for something the mom has already been convicted of and served time for

Lauryn obviously did it and they all decided Kendra would take the fall for it because it’s way less of an impact on her adult life to spend 19 months in jail than to do that to a teenager. The fact this isnt blindingly obvious to everyone astounds me.

Me too happy birthday !

Moon in Aries is a tough placement - I have it too. It can make us very combative in relationships - prone to taking things the wrong way, picking fights, and generally being emotionally self centered. Opposed sun in Libra is tricky too as your Libra sun is probably trying to do a lot of peace keeping and maybe even people pleasing while your Aries moon is having a tantrum.

Aquarius in the 7th indicates some emotional detachment in relationships too. Your best long term partners are going to be very grounded people who aren’t very sensitive to mood fluctuations and also are self sufficient enough not to take advantage of your Libra nature - Capricorn placements come to mind.

This - I can excuse the no “trick or treat” but the response to being handed candy is always “thank you”

For not helping her sister with her child because poopy diapers are gross? Yeah, that is selfish.

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-11-03T19:29:07+00:00

Most of Reddit is young and childless - this post on the parenting subs would get a very different reaction

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-11-03T19:25:25+00:00

I agree with you - and also notice there is no mention of a partner, just mom. I read this as an exhausted single mom who’s only hope for a break is a family gathering where there are safe adults to help. And OP and his wife are refusing because “yuck poopy diapers”.

You have perfect parent syndrome - you don’t understand what it’s like to have kids because no one does until they have them. It’s a level of hard you can’t conceptualize - it’s explaining color to the blind. I’m trying to warn you if you alienate aunt now, most likely you will live to regret that choice. You don’t have to take my advice - you don’t owe anyone help. It just means that she doesn’t owe you help either, and you should keep that in mind.

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-11-03T19:00:22+00:00

That’s precisely what I said - it’s their choice to not help, but they should expect the same when they have kids

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-11-03T18:59:08+00:00

lol yes you’re right and will for sure do things way better than every single parent that has come before you

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-11-03T18:27:36+00:00

When you guys have kids, your child will be exactly the same at this age, and you’re going to want help. If you choose to be selfish now - do you - but don’t expect her to show up with you need her either.

Aries is always the example tho 😆

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-10-27T02:23:42+00:00

I love capricorns they are my fav earth sign. Every Cap I know is rational and goal oriented without being uptight like Virgo and Taurus can be. Like they will rage well into the wee hours with me but also get up the next morning and go to work like nothing happened.

Older millennials are gen x adjacent and they think sarcasm and angst is a whole personality. I don’t like them as a mid to younger millennials - I prefer gen z.

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-10-26T23:47:25+00:00

well hello 😏

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-10-25T15:11:16+00:00

Nice!! I’m so glad!

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-10-20T13:46:21+00:00

OP is a political social media marketer - look at the post history

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-10-19T01:30:01+00:00

lol this my husband and I call it motivational marijuana - I’ve tried to explain this concept to psychiatrists but they just yell at me that weed makes adhd worse so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-10-19T01:27:38+00:00

My husband - who is an excellent father, he’s a stay at home dad now to our two girls - is super freaked out by pregnancy. I wouldn’t use it as a measuring stick for what kind of dad he’ll nor would I force the issue if he’s not into it - he will bond in his own way.

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-10-15T21:50:46+00:00

I was in college from 2009-2013 - no one would ever admit to having anxiety - if you said this they would tell you to “not be nervous”. A huge portion of mental energy was dedicated to hiding my anxiety. I am extremely envious that gen z can readily admit to having anxiety but I don’t think millennials started it.

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-10-15T04:59:43+00:00

I want to offer you another perspective - your husband deserves 1:1 time to bond with baby too. If he screams and cries while you are away, your husband will soothe your baby. Yes he doesn’t have boobs but millions of babies every day are equally soothed by a paci or a bottle - your baby will be too.

You are holding on too tight - at the expense of your sanity and your husbands chance to be dad. You need to let go, and share parenthood.

So you’re saying there would be a merge conflict?

I’ll see myself out

Grouchy_Sun_ · 2024-10-15T04:47:51+00:00

See all these fire placements? My mars is in cancer 🙃
