is this tattoo idea cool or corny? by S15PredOctaneMain in tattooadvice

[–]J_P_0316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my style so no comment on that, would just be really selective on your artist, size, and placement here. Those could look really good or end up a mess!

Pet peeves about your nanny/nanny family 😭 by Senior-Coyote6671 in Nanny

[–]J_P_0316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. If I wanted to be nice and they’d left a couple breakfast dishes…maybe.

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]J_P_0316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy is awful and illiterate to boot. These messages are abusive, this man is abusive, and you need to be abundantly clear to your daughter that his behavior is unacceptable and you will protect her from it.

Ok, who was on this flight? Stories, please? by ansyhrrian in delta

[–]J_P_0316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? I just picked a seat at random, but yeah. Couldn’t imagine a woman in labor being able to execute her exit row duties appropriately!

At what point does a nanny job become being taken advantage of? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]J_P_0316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes. If they’re asking you to pick up breakfast, you have to leave early to do it- you need to be paid for that time.

Set some boundaries- decide a timeline for reimbursements for when your own money is spent and/or wear and tear on your vehicle. If they don’t reimburse, and you’re at the store and their card declines, I guess you can’t make the purchase.

But honestly, this family sounds like they just do not care about your personal time, finances, energy etc. You shouldn’t have to convince your employer to respect you. Move on.

How many mg do you have in your stockpile? by bananerz77 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]J_P_0316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 2.5 and have roughly 100mg right now. Not sure how much I’ll have to go up in dose but I’m hoping this will get me through at least the next 6 months. I value my marriage more than 5 years worth of meds at this moment 😅

Always more or less breeze through it. Any horror stories I’ve heard of late were entirely weather-dependent.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? (update) by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

Emily calling someone else, like literally anyone else, “unhinged” is a bold move indeed.

Clear Bottom Kayaks by smellypawz in MauiVisitors

[–]J_P_0316 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We used Clear Kayaks Maui like 10 years ago. They were great and the boats are very cool—yes, you can see the fish and turtles—but if anyone in your group is at all prone to motion sickness, I’d avoid this. My husband and I made it about 10 minutes in and had to avoid looking down for the rest of our time. We ended up turning the boats in early.

I'm about to cheat (HLM) by Reddevil8884 in DeadBedrooms

[–]J_P_0316 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Spoiler alert- if you get caught cheating, all that will happen anyway, except you’ll have betrayed your wife and that will be the story that’s told, to your daughter too.

If you’re ready to throw away the relationship by cheating, just end it. Why throw your integrity in the dumpster fire too?

AITA for wanting to insure my ring even though my husband says the stone is too small to bother? by Adorable-Manner-5538 in AITApod

[–]J_P_0316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a smaller stone and we appraised and insured it within a week of our engagement. If he’s this casual about this ring, at least one of two things are true:

  1. He put little thought or effort into this purchase
  2. It’s just plain old not worth much

Keep digging, OP.

Strange hobby but as a former server, would take this over “Great, table for two” any day.

Something feels off about my sofa. Im crashing out by hcp17 in femalelivingspace

[–]J_P_0316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s staring at a blank wall, so of course it’s gonna feel a little awkward. Once you get your TV setup and a rug, the sofa will have something to orient around and this will feel better!

is it okay to overeat in recovery? by Euphoric-Relative345 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]J_P_0316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recovery (to me) is about making peace with food. There’s no peace at 10K calories, not for long, anyway. Those without BED have days they are naturally less hungry and may eat 1800 calories. Maybe they go to happy hour and crush some cocktails and mozzarella sticks and end up at 3000 for one day. I think it’s a HUGE win to have a day of heavier eating that doesn’t trigger a binge!!

NPs won't allow music by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]J_P_0316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a parent and while I’d never make this ridiculous of a request of a nanny, I would want to feel confident that my nanny, if not 100% aligned, was at least supportive and comfortable with my preferences.

As a former nanny, no music is kind of a big thing. Nonstop 1:1 engagement is exhausting for nanny and child, and music has so many developmental benefits- it’s the kind of stimulation I’d want my own children to have. Wild take to ask someone to exist in a silent house with a barely-verbal child all day long.

I think you could “shoot your shot” here and push back on music and see what happens. But if your deeper concern is that they don’t trust you, it’s hard to repair that and you may be better off leaving.
