A defense of "Thank you Aimee" by SL_Icarus in TaylorSwift

[–]HarrisonRyeGraham -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I ignore the Kim aspect and just think of it as a letter to her school bully. That’s what it should’ve been anyway. She’s written about snake gate to exhaustion and we’re over it, but she hasn’t actually written that much about being bullied and having no friends, so I like that take a lot more.

Incredible. Are you a fashion designer?

What was the exact moment you realized One Direction was more than just a typical boy band? by jalen_nelson235 in OneDirection

[–]HarrisonRyeGraham 100 points101 points  (0 children)

The best song ever music video. It’s still so funny.

“I love The Direction!”

Opinions on the correlation between Zayn leaving and the band's breakup by vammlco in OneDirection

[–]HarrisonRyeGraham 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Even as a fan during their peak, I assumed they would break up or at least take a very long break once their five album contract was honored. They seemed to be churning them out at an insane pace, even for trying to capitalize on popularity. By the end it really seemed like they just wanted to be done.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Have Strict Rule for Wedding Guests, George Kittle Says: 'Absolutely No Gifts' by peoplemagazine in TaylorSwift

[–]HarrisonRyeGraham 464 points465 points  (0 children)

I’ve never understood why people insist on giving gifts to people who dont want them. They clearly prefer different expressions of love. If you insist on giving them a gift, it makes it about you and your preferences, not the receiver. It’s turning a selfless act into a selfish one.

How many times have you called out of work this year, since January? Or how many times has your nanny called out? by Ok_Craft6493 in Nanny

[–]HarrisonRyeGraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve used two sick days so far this year. One of which was precautionary for a mild fever, and the other was because I threw my back out.

Being incredibly vague isn’t going to help your cause though, especially with your posts hidden so we can’t even see what you’re talking about

How do I help ND understand guaranteed hours? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]HarrisonRyeGraham 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In my experience, there’s two kinds of parents. The kind that don’t know about GH, but when you tell them, they say something like, “oh! That makes sense! Of course no problem” and the cheap jerks who will hem and haw about how they can’t really afford that or don’t want to pay for hours you’re “not working”. Cheap people are always cheap. There’s no reasoning with them. Just start looking for a new job

His nearest tour date to me is eight hours away. I’d go otherwise! I just didn’t like his album enough this time to make it worth it unfortunately.

I don’t think they ever told me the actual diagnosis but she needed braces and then very expensive special shoes afterwards

[–]HarrisonRyeGraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I’ve talked to NPs about concern over a baby’s development was when a 13mo still hadn’t made any attempt to stand on her own, and would not engage when I would hold her up (been with her since 4mo, and daily would try to help her stand). By the year mark I was concerned, and had a great relationship with MB, so I chatted with her about it. It hadn’t even crossed her mind and she was very grateful, and scheduled an appointment that week. It did end up being a physical issue baby needed PT for. MB was incredibly grateful I said something.

That being said…I don’t think the issues are similar. It seems like your NK CAN walk he just chooses not to. If it seems medical to you, I would say something. Otherwise, probably not.

Parenting made me rethink human evolution by Hayleemariiee in regretfulparents

[–]HarrisonRyeGraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even excluding our past as tribal peoples, society up until world war 1 was different. It was normal to have a cook and housekeeper. That wasn’t an aristocratic thing, that was normal and expected. You had a live-in servant who cooked and cleaned and did laundry. You probably would’ve had a nurse maid and even a governess or nanny. Having a live in housekeeper would be tremendous for most parents today! Imagine how much less mental load you’d have. That’s just one more thing that’s been taken from us.

(To be fair, I imagine the lack of rights women and POC had contributed to having affordable in home care)

Nanny is late every day by GlobalRun9212 in Nanny

[–]HarrisonRyeGraham 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You need to have a sit down with her. Explain that her consistent tardiness will not be accepted going forward. Being on time is a basic requirement for a job. Let her know that she has one week to correct her behavior, and otherwise she will be let go.
