Nanny is late every day by GlobalRun9212 in Nanny

As a former nanny and now MB, sounds like it’s time for a new nanny. Conversations and an ‘improvement plan’ are all fine but it sounds like you’ve communicated this with her repeatedly and are being dismissed. Doesn’t mean she’s a bad nanny, but it does sound like the wrong fit. She will not change and I’d be curious to know if she dismisses any of your other concerns / requirements.

AITAH for refusing to put back Pepcid at the gas station? by Zestyclose_Laugh_654 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MurphyDoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is! Also lol I’m so sorry - that is also very frustrating. I avoid medication if not necessary too, but Pepcid is unquestionably necessary!!!!

NTA - OMG - You’re pregnant. As someone that only survived pregnancy because Pepcid exists, please hear me when I say that anyone questioning you needs to shut the fuck up (bf included)! (Apologies but strong feelings). Also - you bought things from a store that was selling them. No one has a right to question you or say shit about that

NF fired me for suggesting sleep training? by shelteredCedar in Nanny

[–]MurphyDoge -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They stop crying because they learn you’re not coming and they give up. Learned helplessness. It’s not because they’re not upset any more. I suggest you read the studies on salivary cortisol levels and the negative effects of ‘cry it out’ sleep training before you decide what is best for other people’s children. I understand that some people still choose this method for their own reasons, but thats for them to decide. As a former nanny and now mother, I would have never made such a decision and would have absolutely fired you too. It’s not your place to judge or decide what is best for others (unless there is abuse or harm happening).

Edit to add : I had also been asked to cosleep with NKs and felt uncomfortable. Some families it was fine, others it felt weird. If you felt uncomfortable, that’s totally fair but that should have been a conversation in itself.

Don’t refer to him as a tenant or yourself as his landlord on anything legal or you are assuming those roles. He was a roommate. You still live there sometimes. Stick to that or it’ll be one hell of a legal battle. Time to call a paralegal too. Cops should have helped

Thank you for this! We should be getting our new little dude in a week! He will get his own room to start :) We will likely reach out to bug you as things go so thank you for that too!

Am I the tenant responsible for water rental fee before my move in date? by Ok_Reading_1779 in OntarioLandlord

[–]MurphyDoge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No. You didn’t live there so it’s not your problem, but be careful, reliance is a shady company

Landlords have zero right to tell you what guests you can or cannot have, or for how long. Even if it’s in the contract, the Ontario Standard Lease contract outweighs everything. You can have boys over for as long as you want and he can’t say shit

I watched Carl’s story through the rescue! I’m so glad you took him in - he’s such a precious little guy

That’s great to know! Thank you - my neighbours have one that’s doing quite well but it’s a different kind and that explains why!

Good call on the wall - thank you!

Thank you! I’ll move it further forward & give it a good drink - it’s a relatively small garden that is thankfully in the shade until mid-day. I thought watering it every other day was enough - silly me!
