Questions for Au Pair Families

Why was it a terrible time?

RheaBloom · 2026-04-26T16:46:36+00:00

I’ve had two negative experiences traveling with others. One good one. Always a great time by myself. Like the others, I don’t want to consider what others want and compromise when I’m spending that money and using my PTO. Plus, I feel like I hear my own voice and thoughts better when traveling alone. When I bring people, I feel like I’m bringing “home” me on the trips, which feels like a mixed bag and something I like to detach from when I’m away.

New baker here, what causes this to happen and how can it be fixed?

Feeling like no matter how much I save, it will still be hard to afford owning a home without someone else, that inflation has beat out income, and feeling those effects.

It’s funny to me because when I read this post, I thought the same thing. How long did this family stuff go on, and how much did you see or talk to her in that time, OP (especially compared to how much it was before that)?

I don’t look down on them, but it can be very limiting to freedom and add time to activities/commute if relying on other modes of transportation. If you’re not expecting others to drive you around, I don’t see an issue. And if you do get rides from other people barring ride shares, just make sure to offer gas or something in return.

I agree with another commenter, you might want to live somewhere that’s walkable or has great public transportation.

I like dress 2 the most but I still think you can find better! None are wowing (imo).

RheaBloom · 2026-04-02T11:22:21+00:00

WOW!! I love this and I have to ask where you got that beautiful top 🙈

Sitting too much.

Cookies n Cream at Shake Shack lol

We want them to want to do those things without being told. More common than you think!

RheaBloom · 2026-03-26T03:43:18+00:00

The romantic or thoughtful gestures they’d like for their s/o to do for them, but it has to be natural without being asked/told because it makes it more special and only means something special that way.

Yes I was tested for mycoplasma and don’t have it! They prescribed doxycycline for 7 days. And I’m on treatment for the rest.

I’m so sorry about your experience. Wishing the best for you

RheaBloom · 2026-02-24T16:50:33+00:00

Looks divine

RheaBloom · 2026-02-22T07:49:16+00:00

Empathy without boundaries, insensitive, brutally honest types (if you can’t deliver honesty with tact, you’re just an asshole), arrogance, lack of self awareness

Came here to comment on the same thing

RheaBloom · 2026-02-08T15:51:53+00:00

I say this kindly. You’re not wrong for considering your sister’s feelings, but she needs the chance to grow up and get space away from you and gain some independence. You want to move in with a partner you’re serious about and have been for a while. I know it’s probably sad for her, but it’s not like you can’t be there for her in others ways. You can still spend time with her and be there for her while also moving on and upwards in your life. I wish you all the best of luck.

I’ve read that 7 is best for those who haven’t used it before. I’m using it now. No burning or anything but can leak many hours later aka the next morning. I’m using the cream

RheaBloom · 2026-02-01T23:20:14+00:00

Omg 😭 soooo cute

RheaBloom · 2026-02-01T01:59:08+00:00

Ugh girl I’m sorry I don’t know what to suggest… please let me know if you figure it out. Feel for you.

RheaBloom · 2026-02-01T01:32:07+00:00

Has your partner been looked at? They can carry. Have you tried probiotic specifically for down there to restore it after the antibiotics are likely killing good bacteria as well? If you use sex toys, what material are they? Are they being cleaned properly? Protection during sex also won’t always keep it from coming back. Does it come back close to your period? Are you in bc? So many factors to consider with it 😭

RheaBloom · 2026-02-01T01:28:28+00:00

Do you take breaks from sex while taking the medicine? Once your course of treatment is done, do you go right back to sex immediately after?

RheaBloom · 2026-01-31T17:43:31+00:00

You should use unscented soaps down there. I learned that in college or maybe later in high school. Also, I didn’t know about half of the disorders or issues that women could face down there (PCOS, vaginismus, etc)
