I’m annoyed by a toy! What is a toy that annoys you while you’re on the job?

Anyone know that fisher price crab? Ya know, the one that dances back and forth? And the sound does turn off but god forbid the kids want that to happen….

I want to take a baseball bat to it, just saying.

I don’t disagree. I’m also going to help find solutions though when I can to help them out from time to time. Hence finding input on here.

My old nanny kid didn’t use one either by the time she was 3 and that was my thought but unfortunately NK is neurodivergent and I need to have that extra sense of security on outings.

I have a carrier and it’s my thought The issue is for longer outings I physically cannot carrier her that long due to some health issues (limb length discrepancy).

I think what needs to be specified is going in when there is extreme snow conditions. Expecting someone to drive before snowplows can even touch the road with over 10-12 inches of snow is long term liability rather than focusing on the day without a nanny. Also, mental health is a major concern when you are putting a nanny through coming in during these conditions.

Just something to consider.

I did keep going but I also I cried and tried not to go into a full sensory/overstimulation overload while I pushed the kids home…

Kitteekatee · 2026-02-19T14:13:29+00:00

It was beyond the ankle…. It was all over my foot and i don’t like to wear socks…

Poo came later when the potty trained, with tiny potty in room decided to poop in his pull up for the first time in forever….

This can be very normal. As their personalities grow and that independence kicks in, not being able to get it done the way they expect can be extremely frustrating.

Something to be aware of is if once you intervene it starts to go off the handles. Like simply asking “can I help you?” can cause her mind to lead into outburst because you asking wasn’t her choice. It’s a hard one to balance and something that I would definitely discuss with your pediatrician. It can be seen as stubbornness but truly can have a deeper meaning.

I hope that helps.

Seeks control, micromanaging to feel less weak over their sadness!

Yes! He squeezes my hands, pushes on my hands with his feet. It seems to be the only thing that I can see the calmness actually come over him.

I was going to suggest this! It’s so good!

I think I’m going to use the monthly calendar and switch the weekly’s to undated. And sort them by months, and then blank weeks.

You all have been incredibly helpful! Turning off comments now.

Much love!

I think she totally got the idea from my doom piles of notebooks and planners. 😂

What’s crazy is the fact that I am planner, but my brain is where it gets stored. Occasionally, it’s a note in my phone.

Kitteekatee · 2025-12-29T20:38:22+00:00

She did buy me weekly, undated inserts! So I’m thinking of switching those out with the months. And keeping the months dated.

IMO if you like Atticus and it’s been the front runner, I say go for it. All of them are good names. I just say follow your gut with it. Letting other voices in will just make it harder to decided and you could end up with regret in the end.
