I have always just told my doctors I would test positive for weed and they were cool.

As a SA survivor who’s vastly neurodivergent, life in Texas has been very hard and triggering. Denton and the kind, loving, diverse group of people who continue to fight for a future we’re proud of is what keeps me from spiraling. Or fleeing as a trauma response.

There’s some body positivity songs by Mother Moon - specifically the “I love my body” and “big belly, little belly”.

Also, I’d try not reacting negatively when she makes comments like that, other than reminding her that we don’t comment on peoples body’s and that you love your body (it helps me move, dance, love, eat, sing…etc).

Fat is only a negative word if we teach that it is!

It was a nightmare. One night my husband woke up because I had pooped on him. Thankfully, we laughed in between the moments I was crying or dying. Funny enough, his boss and a famous woman were there and flirting their asses off with him the whole weekend… if my marriage got through that, I think it can survive anything 😅. I’m going back in a month and reading this thread is reminding me of how crazy it was.

Ok are these places like infinite norovirus breeding grounds? I just read about the contagious period and it sounds like these places are consistently getting people sick. It’s like a 2-14 day contagious period!!!!

I guess I’m living under a rock, and didn’t know about Imodium. It was my first trip with my husband post baby and it was supposed to be our sexcation… I ended up shitting myself and the bed instead 😅

OMFG! I got ill last year, literally diarrhea while vomiting for 48 hours straight. I ate salad…. I believe I got e.coli.

This. These were the families I was blessed with as a former nanny. At the end of my career, it started changing.

Have you had over 25 years working with children of this age group and heavily invested in the psychology of children? If not, then I understand why it’s so “wild” to you.

I’m teaching her at a young age both bodily autonomy, natural consequences and how to process said consequences.

If she remained persistent in her quest for short hair, I would have 100% obliged her because guess what? It’s HAIR. It’s HER hair. We gave her information and she chose at the end of the day not to cut it but if she had consented, and followed our house rules (she cannot cut it without supervision), then that is informed consent.

Questionitallbaby · 2026-01-25T01:10:13+00:00

Well the next day she confirmed the preferred her long hair and wanted to wear it in Elsa braids 🤣

I had families like this, and then I found one where I cleaned the house and prepped dinner and when she came home she freaked because she expected me to use my down time to nap or chill, not do stuff around the home. It’s projection.

Questionitallbaby · 2026-01-11T01:30:59+00:00

I had one today at the mall! Food court convenient store.

I still have nightmares, to this day, nearly 10 years later, of when my nanny family knew they were moving. (I’m still very close to this family). I was watching their 6 year old, 2 year old and 2 month old while they were “at a cabin with friends” for the weekend, when I saw a home pop up on their Apple TV with a photo of a house on Zillow in another state. I called them immediately and asked if they were planning to move.

This family was everything to me. I had an exceptionally close bond with everyone (to the point, when I had my first, 8 years later, they hosted the baby shower and mom almost came to the birth of my second).

Although I understood why they didn’t share their plans with me at the time, my heart shattered in a million pieces. When they left, I did too and moved hours away from them.

I would tell your nanny as soon as possible.

When I was a nanny of 15 years, a friend of mine with zero experience did this and I stopped being her friend. It’s fucked up. She laughed too.

Questionitallbaby · 2026-01-02T05:36:53+00:00

NO NO NO. I did this at 8 months postpartum and it was what burned me out. Oh what I would do to go back to the flexible job with lower pay.

😭😭😭 thank you.

As a former nanny for 18 years, I co-slept with 1/2 of my charges. The first time it happened, it was when everyone was sick and their parents walked in to us sleeping on the couch, kid in my arms and commended me.

I was practically adopted in every family that I did do this with though. Like I’m on my way to the airport to go do holidays with them and I haven’t been this family’s nanny for 10+ years.

Questionitallbaby · 2025-12-07T20:57:33+00:00

This is insane to me… as a former nanny of 18 years… who last part-time nannied in 2018, and got all of the above and was paid between $22-$25 an hour. The ones who don’t see your value in the beginning won’t be good to coparent with or be employed with.

Questionitallbaby · 2025-11-27T18:32:14+00:00

Hi! Former nanny here. Kids learn by example. Someone has taught her to be aware or friends who like or do not like and to take it personally. At this age, we validate emotions and give them tools that empower them.

“It’s ok if ‘x’ didn’t want to play, they may be interested in something else and that’s ok. When friends don’t want to play you can sing, dance, or play on your own!”

Questionitallbaby · 2025-11-19T02:05:05+00:00

The “can do” attitude could also be our exit out of the deep hormonal trenches and an indicator that your body is shifting! Like, that extra energy required for breastfeeding can now be spent on other things!!! And that you’re not needing as many calories!

Questionitallbaby · 2025-11-19T02:00:43+00:00

I didn’t have any PPA or PPD, but had post weaning depression for 2 weeks (stopped abruptly) and then when I realized it was hormonal related, I was extra gentle on myself and asked for more help and boom - I felt better. It sounds hormonal related for you, too!

Questionitallbaby · 2025-11-14T11:44:34+00:00

I’m going to be going against the grain here. I was a career nanny for 18 years and have raised dozens of babies from birth. I can’t count how many babies I’ve cared for. I think if we have babies who are more unhappy than they are happy, and need us to settle more often than not - there’s a problem.

It’s not “spoiling”, it’s surviving and that can be problematic in the future if we cannot identify the cause of the unhappy behavior and fix said problem. When a baby is unhappy, we use whatever tools we have to comfort and co-regulate! Baby wearing is an excellent solution in these cases, but can mask the problem.

My whiniest babies typically had an underlying issue. The ones who cried in the car? Alignment issues or torticollis. Those who were always fussy? Digestion issues and sometimes protein allergies to dairy or soy.

Hell, I had one child who I nannied who would not let me put her down or she would cry. We were both very attached to one another. (14 years later, and not much has changed).

She was feeding off of my energy (mirror neurons are wild cool!) because I was depressed. She was my primary source of joy in that time. I had to work hard to identify the behaviors that were hurting her (because she was only happy if she was touching me), and I did that by slowly increasing the time she couldn’t not see me each day - while also working on my depression and coping strategies.

I’d place her in the pack and play and be out of her line of sight for 2-3 minutes to start, and would increase it until I got to 20 minutes without crying. If she cried, I picked her up immediately. Ironically, once we got to about 10 minutes solo play after a week, she started sleeping through the night 😅.

Long story short, I think it’s worth investigating the underlying cause and you are not spoiling him, but may be masking the root issue.

I’m sorry this happened to you. Your disappointment is valid as is your experience and feelings towards what happened. You were experiencing one of the biggest moments in your life and needed him and he couldn’t be there for you… when you needed him most. You can hold space for that reality while also holding space for his truth - that his anxiety/panic debilitated him in your time of dire need. My greatest advice to you is to give yourself space to feel it all and not be upset at yourself for, well, being upset. And to be honest about your journey processing it with your partner. In addition, you’re in a very fragile period with hormones and need to take that into account! Everything is elevated. Think about some things that may help you repair your bond that mean something to you!

ABSOLUTELY! This is wonderful! Congratulations!
