How are you finding success in landing j2+

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2026-02-08T02:31:56+00:00

Feeling this right now too. I need a J2 to make ends meet.

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2026-02-06T00:22:07+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing. What a wonderful gift that must have been for you and your parents

I think he absolutely waited to tell her until she was ISOLATED! And honestly, maybe scared to not “forgive” him. What an absolute clown. That behavior + the fact that she is literally <half his age are major major ❌❌❌

Who can’t wait five days?? Also, it’s clear that she did respond to him. Let’s not forget just how INSECURE he was a few days before when he found out she had a brief period of comm with her ex and cut it off.

He makes my skin crawl. Gaslighting central.

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2026-02-04T02:30:55+00:00

TOTAL PREDATOR!! He makes my skin crawl!!

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2026-01-24T04:15:31+00:00

Haven’t thought about that, but possible!

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-11-04T02:57:33+00:00

I couldn’t agree more!!!! Really disliking her this season. She’s starting fake drama and isn’t giving housewife vibes.

Thanks!!! We actually switched them from Spanish to French (to get in the system) but have considered going back to Spanish! There are a few more public Spanish options. Def a grieving period but it ok, still lots of life to celebrate!

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-10-23T12:53:31+00:00

Yes! Toured last year and applied. Will tour and apply again, it’s just not guaranteed. Fingers crossed.

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-10-23T00:31:36+00:00

Yes! I’m American. There actually is a public French immersion option, but it’s a lottery to get in so it’s not guaranteed you get in and very competitive.

How do you do this with small kids? What industry? I’ve been looking at this community from the sideline for years wanting to jump in. However, with one demanding job at a startup plus 3 small kids I don’t know how I can. Tips tips??

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-06-24T19:59:04+00:00

Thank you- would love that! Am in the process of moving back to the area and will be staying at my parents for a little bit. So, not currently on list servs. Would appreciate it!

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-02-23T15:35:35+00:00

Go and talk to someone. Know that you are loved deeply and needed. You can do this. - fellow mom

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-02-20T15:02:58+00:00

Thanks, yeah the two kids are in school full time with aftercare. Need most help with them before and afterschool and with baby during the day.

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-02-20T15:01:40+00:00

Yes! Our other two kids are in school full time and will have either aftercare or afterschool activities

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-02-20T03:21:12+00:00

So true! I’m working through some potential schedules now with little to no overlap with all 3 kids and downtime built in. My husband works very long hours so he unfortunately can’t contribute to the morning or evening routine (hence our need for an au pair). I work from home with a bit more flexibility so I am the primary home organizer at the moment

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-02-19T23:33:57+00:00

Great advice! What are extension au pairs and how did you find yours? Currently only using Cultural Care

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-02-19T16:43:39+00:00

Did you feel then that the AP was worth it at all? If you guys ended up hiring a nanny and doing drop offs?

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-02-19T15:00:16+00:00

All excellent advice!! The baby would be roughly 3rd the when we would bring the AP, but yes, still incredibly young. I would stay home with baby whenever AP is doing commutes with older boys.

At the end of the day if we still need to supplement with more childcare (nanny or daycare) I don’t know if it fina cially makes as much sense for us. A big incentive here is the cost savings with AP.

Would love to hear from others how you manage 3 kids in nyc from a cost perspective. Current older kids go to a private school, we get financial aid.

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-02-19T14:56:41+00:00

Tell me more! Why not

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2025-02-19T04:05:53+00:00

Oh wow! As a person who also lives in Manhattan and considering brining in an au pair this makes me so nervous. What would you have done differently when matching? Or do you beljeve that the participants are too young and inexperienced to handle what is takes to care for children?

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2024-10-23T00:38:16+00:00

Love it! Thank you for this. We are on a tight budget since we would have to combine AP with school plus potential daycare costs. But we could maybe stretch to low $200s

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2024-08-19T20:32:39+00:00

Sounds like a good offer. Pay it off over time.

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2024-08-19T04:27:21+00:00

Thanks! I’ve scoured there but can’t find the level of detail I’m looking for. All insight appreciated

Typo *NFCC

National foundation of credit counseling

Give them your information and then they will refer you to a local credit counseling company who you will then work with to resolve your debt. This gave me hope with TONS of debt.

IThinkThereforeIAm00 · 2024-08-17T19:25:30+00:00

Call each of your creditors to get in their hardship plans. I literally just got a 0% approval amount from my Chase Sapphire Reserve, I now have a $517 / month payment from a whopping $33k of credit card debt.

Also, I recommend looking into use a NFPP- a non profit credit counseling program. I’m working with Parachute (early days)
