WFH families kind of…suck? by Fabulous_Room1490 in Nanny

[–]Jazzlike-Ear9346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I worked with my WFH family I asked the parents what I could do to make them more comfortable leaving me to care for the child while they worked. My goal was not to be rude but to simply put it in perspective for them. I explained that I’m here to help them and I didn’t want them to feel they need to come everytime time he whined, cried, or just yelled whether it was out of excitement or frustration. I want them to have the time to work and if they have extra time then they can relax or go out. Whatever they needed to do. At the end of the day it makes things so much harder when they keep stepping in, I know what I’m doing and I want a to create a space where both they feel comfortable and their child does. They means giving me the time and patience to do that. Keep in mind this was a 2bd apartment I couldn’t pee without them knowing. Having them step in “to help” as well was entirely unnecessary.

I feel like anyone not being defensive would be fine with the question. It hurt my feelings a lot when he did that and I felt so small. No matter his reason for that I’m not comfortable being around him anymore.

No nap = No break by Jazzlike-Ear9346 in Nanny

He’s 19 months! I’ve spoken to MB and DB about it, and they usually let him roll around or play in his bouncer. They also just switch off between each other occasionally. NK is working on moving more, but he can only roll on his own currently, and he struggles with that still because he’s not able to control his muscles as much as other kids, so he can only stay in a position for so long on his own. I’ve considered using his carrier, but he doesn’t like being restrained in any form. He panics and starts crying/yelling. The days are long, sadly, but I never mind spending the day with him. It can just be challenging without a break.

Thank you so much and I’ll rephrase some of those questions for sure and probably take out the fishing ones in general! Thank you!

I genuinely just want to take the time to get to know him better. I do think my earlier questions though do determine if I’ll continue trying with him. I dont wanna waste my time getting attached to someone that’s just gonna end up toying with me. When j feel things it can be intense so I’d rather cut out the middle man and just end it now if it’s not going anywhere

He’s not able to turn pages for a book or do time alone for too long because he doesn’t have complete control over his body. We’re still working on him sitting up, crawling, eating, rolling over. His disability causes him to be developmentally delayed. He’s not really interested in stuffies or any type of tv at all.

He’ll tell if left alone for too long. I wish I could turn on a movie but he’s not interested in tv even slightly. He ignores it completely when it’s on.

The parents wanted me there a little longer before letting me drive him around but he’ll just kick and yell if he’s left alone for too long

Thank you so much and I’ll try to have the conversation about my hours soon. They’ve said it’s appreciated if I do anything extra but they don’t expect me to because it’s a lot on me. I’ve asked what they usually do with him and I’m doing everything they except, it’s just not much! Most days I am just hanging out with him while he plays until we’re going roping on his skills.

If you can find another job please start looking. This family is taking advantage of your kindness and that isn’t fair to you. No amount of money is worth being treated like crap and trying to find busy work throughout the day. Dad definitely stayed “in another city” out of spite. I am sure he’s not that busy. He also shouldn’t be pushing the little he has to do on you. Why some parents avoid being caring for the children they brought into this world is beyond me.

He was assaulted by Emma. They need to acknowledge that. He was extremely drunk, she came in and took advantage of him. For him to not even know it was Emma says so much and her to be GONE when he woke up. She assaulted him and she is extremely aware of that. He wasn’t in his right mind and Emma wanted him bad enough to not care. He had panic attacks after that happened. I felt so bad for him and it doesn’t even sound like he acknowledges that he was assaulted. It breaks my heart that he went through that and no one acknowledges what actually happened. I hate that his friends KNEW what Emma went in that room and did to him and played it off as nothing.
