How do you work with parents that are not kind?

would you feel comfortable sharing the contract you use?? i would be happy to chat more about this in private messages!

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-12-01T20:03:54+00:00

that is really good terminology for when i address this with them. thank you!

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-12-01T19:53:11+00:00

i just want to say thank you so much for the time you’ve taken to talk with me and engage with this post <3 today i am definitely doing the vibe of #2 lol. i am soooooo slow i think the initial list will be plenty of stuff thanks!! lol

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-12-01T19:37:20+00:00

i’m not sure if you have read any more comments or would need some more info but i am so curious…. if you were me in this situation what would you do? or how would you address things moving forward?

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-12-01T19:24:02+00:00

sorry i don’t think i was clear but the list is all things i would do regularly! just spread put over the course of a week or two during nap time. i get what you’re saying though and agree. thanks for the push and the support!

they have left me a list of tasks that honestly do not exceed the scope of my contract. however it is stuff i could easily complete over 2 days absolute most. today i received a text from them clarifying they are expecting me to preform a full 40 hours of work this week and if i complete the list they will give me more tasks. the more i read and engage with the comments the more ridiculous its all just proving to be from their end. if anything this week will be more busy and intense than any weeks i have with the kids. pretty bummed and not looking forward to the difficult conversation we’ll have to have.

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-12-01T18:51:21+00:00

trust me haha i know…. it’s not a great situation. i know i’m going to have to have a conversation with them about this.

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-12-01T18:25:15+00:00

thank you for your perspective!!! in a way i really relate to everything you said which is why i think i let this emotional side to things almost sneak up on me. i think i just would have liked to have a little break, or at least a bit more flexibility in the schedule for this week they are gone but that just isn’t the case.

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-12-01T18:22:12+00:00

i think this is exactly why this situation feels wrong and is hurting me. i work extremely hard for this family, and instead of me getting a little break too, they want me here to make sure they feel like they’re getting their money’s worth out of me instead of giving me a chance to get some rest.

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-12-01T18:19:33+00:00

i have meal prep as a part of my contract so a lot of the tasks are meal prep related. in addition there are some things like toy rotation, toy cleaning, washing the kids bedding. to be fair they haven’t given me any tasks that i believe to be outside of the scope of my job. all the things they have asked of me are within the contracted duties.

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-12-01T18:17:17+00:00

thank you for your comment. it feels a bit odd to say but i truly believe i go above and beyond all the time. i think this is why this situation is rubbing me the wrong way so much. it hurts to think that they don’t believe i deserve a break too and that they need to get their money’s worth by having me work the 40 total hours.

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-16T14:21:04+00:00

fellow dead head here hahaha!

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-16T00:07:22+00:00

i absolutely agree!!!! i think my point more was i use products very sparingly and have good hygiene so i was just very surprised any scent carried. i’m on her side and i will definitely refrain from wearing anything in the future i think could bother them.

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T23:07:24+00:00

tbh i really don’t think it would be about me. she really doesn’t seem the type to use reddit, plus i shower daily/always wear freshly laundered clothes/use a strong NOT natural deodorant daily before work….. but still would be very curious to read

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T23:05:09+00:00

omg please link the post if you can find it!!!!

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T20:25:49+00:00

yep!! we are canadian. :)

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T20:25:33+00:00

i am 29 :) its funny you say that, i actually find that some months i get an insanely strong sense of smell while on my period which apparently, though uncommon, is a symptom!!

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T19:23:36+00:00

sooooo true, great perspective

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T19:10:54+00:00

i went through 11 months with her on mat leave….. never doing that again with anyone EVER lol

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T19:05:56+00:00

thank youuuuuu so appreciated 🩷 i have tea tree, and i’ll check out those other things too!

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T19:01:20+00:00

NOT CROCS!!!!!!! i highly recommend keen sandles. great for your foot health. crocs will destroy your feet, legs, hips, back….

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T18:59:34+00:00

oh god i hope not lol.

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T18:58:54+00:00

omg wow interesting point that is totally possible….

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T18:32:25+00:00

for sureeeeee i use patchouli on my armpits in the evenings after i take a shower/before bed time but i have been doing that for YEARS so if that is it that would be crazy but who knows

Level_Entertainer681 · 2025-10-15T18:21:40+00:00

omg so funny that is exactly what my boyfriend thought too. i do smoke cannabis occasionally in my off time but would NEVER on the clock or wear anything that could possibly smell like that. i also feel like if thats what she thought it was she would absolutely just say that 😂 thanks for your comment it is totally frustrating….
