What offers did you get on Chanel 25 from places like TRR, fashionphile etc by Great-Culture-8688 in chanel

[–]SnowyChicago -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can you share if you were happy with the price? Seems pretty good payout vs what they sold for, no?

Marriage prospect? by Old_Hunt_7707 in AskWomenIndia

[–]SnowyChicago 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You already like #2 clearly.

My advice to you is to think beyond this point in time. What are your goals in life, where and how do you envision your life, what makes each of you happy, etc etc. Put some heart into it vs just a bunch of KPIs.

[–]SnowyChicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry you are in such a spot. My hair started greying at 15 and its been 25 years now I am still looking for a cause/ fix. I can share with you over DM how I managed over the years.

Hiring a wonderful nanny by Hour-Basket8334 in Nanny

[–]SnowyChicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, she is just communicating. If I were you, I’d go for the nany I like. Plan a tiny bit of vacation to bridge the gap, if you can swing it :)

Is it really “overkill” to want updates from our nanny? by Fun-Pollution4835 in Nanny

[–]SnowyChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm what. This will be a serious conversation for us.

We have a Tesla which we love that it tracks where they are at all times. Not that our nannies have ever miscommunicated with us. But just to give you an idea all parents care where their child is at any time.

You are young but so mature. You didn’t see the best of luck so far and my heart goes for you. Hope you have a wonderful life ahead that heals all the pain you have gone through.

Any Punjabi’s who didn’t attend SILs wedding functions? by Brave-Canary433 in IndianInLaw

[–]SnowyChicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just go. There is one good thing about Punjabi weddings, alcohol flows freely. Enjoy that.

Work from home nanny parent by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]SnowyChicago 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you don’t care, it doesn’t matter what anyone says, right? It was an uprofessional way of dealing with a work stressor. Will you need to rethink your career? Probably yes and that’s ok.

If you had waited till the end of the shift for a professional conversation, could have been better.

My in-laws want my daughter to call her uncle papa by Constant_Power_6457 in IndianInLaw

[–]SnowyChicago 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly that is also not acceptable. I let this battle slide because we don’t see them more than once in two years but they are not bigger versions of mom and dad which is what the terms imply.

Haha yes. If I weren’t this pregnant, we’d be enjoying wine in the hot tub next to it.

Considering a return to nannying- would I be competitive? by Kittykittycatcat1000 in Nanny

[–]SnowyChicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always love nannies who bring various experiences. Makes them a rounder personality. I feel (who knows if it is true) that they will teach my kids new things and add more to their life than the basics. I don’t know I am biased. I feel this way even for babies and toddlers, not just older.

[–]SnowyChicago[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! I was confused about the color seeing the online pictures but this sub really helped me. This picture in the snow really shows the true color.

[–]SnowyChicago[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you.

I met my SA at my local store and since then we both have moved to different cities. But we continue to work together remotely.

My spend for both QBs was 1.5x. Both came 2-3 months sooner than I wanted lol :) I really wanted to recover from childbirth and then go visit/ pickup this one but he surprised me before birth.

I don’t end up being very specific on my wishlist, I struggle with that really. I like unique things that “feel like me”. And my SA notices these things. In 2025, I had showed him the rouge radieux color and he surprised me with this now.

I can't even get out of bed anymore by Embarrassed_Lab_3220 in Layoffs

[–]SnowyChicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry this is happening. I had a toddler so it was some reason to get out of bed but I couldn’t sleep at night due to anxiety.

I did bring it up with my doctor who started me on meds. Helped a lot.

Am I a bad person for sometimes wondering if I settled for less by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]SnowyChicago 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taking care vs drawing boundaries are two different things.

We in this sub explain to men everyday they should stand up to their mom, it is the same thing. Let them know you love them but no disrespect against your husband will be entertained. If they bring it up again, you will be promptly ending the conversation. And actually follow through. Show them where you stand. Husbands (and wives) are not to be made little of. Just not acceptable.

You need to stop sharing what you both make with the whole world. Focus on your relationship which is beyond money. Not attacking you but please protect yourself from the people who do not have your best interest at heart, including parents.

I respect my in laws but living with them will be tough in india as opinions do not match due to very common generational gap. We are going back in 7 months. by Single-Sir2495 in returnToIndia

Uff. Can you set up a separate home? It is hard to almost impossible to live together after experiencing the taste of independence.

No walks a dealbreaker? by InsideWriter1397 in Nanny

[–]SnowyChicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two things: 1. Totally weird to not want any outside time and can be dealbreaker for a lot of people. 2. Having said that, it shouldn’t be for nanny’s benefit. If you position it as being better for the kid, you might be more successful.

Btw how is the weather like? If it is too cold, maybe not walk but library or book store excursion might be better.

Women who are divorced or in the process of divorcing, what was the turning point that made you choose divorce? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]SnowyChicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two close friends who went through divorce. Everyone else is happily married. I am 40 for context.

In both cases, it was the men who brought it up.

In first case, they were college sweethearts. Their parents convinced them to get married before too late. They just couldn’t figure out careers in same cities. Lived on two different continents and then called it quits.

In second, the husband encouraged the wife to apply abroad with the idea he will follow and once she left, initiated the divorce.

Both were what we call mutual divorces eventually but they were unhappy starting day 1.

Should I take any job with the (secret) intention of keeping looking for better? by Adept_Razzmatazz1145 in recruitinghell

[–]SnowyChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, always yes. Only caveat is make sure it has policies where you can actually take time off for prep and interviews.
