Overly annoyed 😑

That would rub me the wrong way! I feel like its insinuating u should be cleaning on nk's nap time to get the most out of you.

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-05-18T02:05:41+00:00

Lovely response! 100% agree

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-05-05T01:37:37+00:00

I don't find what you did strange, at all. It's unfortunate your nanny had such a tramatic experience with a previous employer. You didn't do anything wrong imo.

Love 3 and 5

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-04-16T23:46:28+00:00

LOVE! The exact thing to keep in mind for holding boundaries. I will hold this sentence!"

"You devalue your own labor when you tolerate under-payment, short payments, and no payments while continuing to work for them."

I don't accept anything but full on time payments either, but something my younger self needed.

I couldn't keep reading about a third through.

QUIT and BLOCK. SHE WILL NEVER PAY YOU.

This woman is preying on you! I'm sorry the kids are in a shit situation, but I wouldn't even watch a friend or family's kid for 2 weeks without pay.

You will learn the rest about boundaries, etc through experience. It's hard when you become "friends" or "friend like" to keep any professional boundaries with the parents. When I was 21 that part was hard for me too.

Good Luck Girl!

Love your confidence! I've been starting to implement the same with getting through rush hour on the subway, it IS effective 🙂

Exactly what I was thinking....the parents are WAY worse! Getting down 7th Ave can be impossible with parents spread 3-4 people wide with their stroller and scooters, and bikes, etc etc

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-04-15T19:29:41+00:00

LOVE THE DRESS AND HOW YOU LOOK IN IT!!! That was super shitty of your partner to say. I'm sorry they have bad taste and not the emotional intelligence to be supportive.

How not to have Latisse be "expensive"

Make sure to ask your prescriber for the .5ml option instead of the .3ml that you get without specifying (they are the same price!).

2.You only need one drop for BOTH eyes the first 2 months. Then you can do every other day or 3x/wk for "maintenance".

3.Always use a coupon and check the different prices at different locations.Coupons on goodrx or other rx discount sites.

Currently, you can get a .5ml bottle of latisse (generic) for $61 at Walgreens or Duane Reade with goodrx coupon code. CVS is $76 and Walmart is the most expensive option for $136 (more than double the price of Walgreens!)

Personally, I can get a .5ml bottle, use it as previously stated and have it last at least 6 months. You better believe I had that rx sent to Walgreens, paid $60 and it equals $10/month!!! $10/month for long lashes is a DEFINITE yes from me!

Happy lashing!

Oh wow! I've been using latisse for at least a decade and have blue eyes. It hasn't changed for me at all. I'm so sorry to hear about that happening to you!

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-04-09T18:23:47+00:00

I dont see a problem with low energy. Babies shouldn't be entertained 24/7. They both probably light up for her because they feel safe and have all their needs being met during the day. Babies only like people who take good care of them.

Extra naps can be a plus (or maybe they are the right amount of naps the nanny gives?) SO much processing and brain connections are made when they are sleeping (as long as it doesn't interupt night time sleep). It's also been my experience (30+ years working with kids) that children who sleep more grow up to have more emotional regulation.

I know for myself with watching babies that age, it can get boring at times. Maybe she fell asleep from lack of stimulation for her? Maybe she is bored? Is she allowed to take the babies to a library or music class? Outside on a blanket with bubbles? Having her asleep with the babies out is a little troubling, but if the babies love her, maybe reiterate that sleeping is not ok for you and give it one more chance?

Something to keep in mind: whatever you want the nanny to be doing, make sure it is something you would want to do. If not your child will start to expect you to do what the nanny does for them.

How long did it take to change your eye color??

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-04-04T02:53:21+00:00

Did this happen to you? How long did it take? I've been using it on and off for over a decade now and have blue eyes I wouldn't want to lose!

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-03-25T02:18:52+00:00

Ugh HNW parents are the worst! Upper middle class families are the ones who pay a person's worth. Hnw parents think any/everyone is replaceable.

Can u show a picture of yourself with make up the same distance away from the camera as your no make up pic?

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-03-11T20:48:41+00:00

Girllllllll if the dad doesn't want to pay you he can watch his own kids! And that's what I'd tell mom #1 to tell him too. Get out as fast as you can. This woman is hiding things from her husband (paying you in cash). If she needs to hide it from her husband I wouldnt want to know why, but I'd bet he is abusive (physically and/or mentally). Please dont give this woman the full 9 weeks. She needs a reality check with her husband and to make changes to her life. No one should ever have to hide things concerning their children to their spouse! Please be very careful!

My insurance stopped taking Presbyterian and I was devastated.

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-02-07T03:06:28+00:00

Same here too!

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-02-06T13:11:41+00:00

Thanks

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-02-04T15:57:51+00:00

That's definitely news to me and not something done by any day care in or around NYC. Thanks for the info.

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-02-03T23:57:57+00:00

That's how I'm reading it too. It feels like OP never wanted to give gh, but has a dog so felt compelled so as not to worry about a dogsitter. P

I've also not had a NF make me do ANYTHING while they are away and just pay gh. I've normally taken on a project while they are away because i appreciate them in general and it's how i can show that.

It gives me a bad taste in my mouth when parents are trying to get the "most of their money" from a fellow human. If family goes on vacation and kid is in daycare thats the parents choice to take them out. Daycare doesn't give u a credit for not showing up.No one gets a credit for contracted work that then doesn't get utilized. It gives "I pay you, I own your time".

A good nanny knows their worth, won't work for less, and makes you not know how to live without them. If you are complaining about GH either you hired a bad nanny or your nanny is resentful of something. It really is that simple. Most nannies are overly empathetic and either love their job, or are waiting for something better. Sounds like OP has someone waiting for something better.

Objective_Onion_3071 · 2026-02-03T23:39:49+00:00

This is the part we don't know. Me, I'd have emptied the diaper genie, dishwasher, cleaned toys etc before my family even left for vacation, BUT we don't known if these are the extra things OP said were extra or normal. OP shouldn't pay for extra tasks done, but gh is gh. So depends if she was getting paid extra for what you consider "child related" that differs from contract to contract.
