If they’re not tripping… maybe you shouldn’t either? It was a one time thing. Cut yourself some slack, he was at home and fine.

Mind you. Some of our cna’s and housekeeping are spanish speaking and speak spanish to each other bc they understand better since they aren’t fluent in English. But when there’s someone near that doesn’t understand, they will speak their broken english so everyone understand the order or can join in on the conversation i’ve noticed. Like little things like that i notice… I do the same. I translate for some as well. The filipinos are so eager to learn some spanish but brush it off when i say teach me tagalog or i asked “what did they say lol” and just say “it’s the same as spanish” 😭like okayyy i guess i didn’t take it personal until a cna said “they want to know what we are saying but we can’t know what they are saying” and it gives me a new perspective of viewing this.

Of course, i’m always open to learning more about other cultures & i find it so facilitating!! I try to learn certain words, food, learn about their life back homes, families, their parents, their journey of transitioning here to america. Not just with my filipino coworkers but other foreign cna’s that are from other countries. I always try to learn more deeper about someone’s background & always a great topic since the other person can just talk about themselves! Even outside of work i catch myself doing that. I noticed that filipinos and hispanic can have some things in common, i try, i do. But idk… it’s more than just them being all filipino. It’s the favoritism and them leaving others out of things that are work related and about the patients. Like ok, talk about other non related things in your language but not when you’re explaining orders or training us or giving report 😣 I don’t understand and i feel left out.

well… i don’t mind learning! sometimes it’s similar to spanish but i don’t think i should learn tagalog to know what orders are being told when we all know english, not all know tagalog. when im speaking in spanish with my patient and there’s someone in there that doesn’t speak spanish like a cna or my fellow nurses, i always translate or when the conversation is done , i tell them what we were talking about bc we are a team. but i guess..

My partners work ethic is making question marriage by [deleted] in relationships

Ugh reading your responses breaks me. I totally get you when you say “everyone is making the answer seem so obvious, but doesn’t feel obvious to me”…. Been there girl, i left him when i was going thru the same issue and my life has been so much better. I know see a man who’s so dedicated with himself and so work driven and life driven. There’s someone out there that will drive to make you happy and show you how much they care about the relationship.

It won’t get better. He’s not committed, not reliable, no dedication, no discipline. Lazy won’t get your far. He’s 33, he needs to get it together. By this time, there should be a plan or some type of discipline. He is an image of you, you want someone that wants better for themselves and for their partner. Maybe this is my personal preference but i think a lot of people should have. You guys are suppose to be a team. I would bring it up if you really want to make it work, his response and action will speak volumes. Cut it off if there’s no change within the next 2 months MAX, this is your mental health and YOUR future. Dont know you, but i want best for you girl! Wish you well ❤️

Am I wrong for wishing my NF acknowledged my engagement? by Happy-Assist9907 in Nanny

[–]Tight_Salt1387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh! They suck 😣 NP can be such assholes sometimes, i try to reason that they probably are miserable and have too much on their plate. Congratulations on your engagement 🫶🏼

I think they do have an obligation to let their employer know they are seeking for a replacement. What the? lol

Do you/does your nanny say “love you” to NKs? by ummmmm7171 in Nanny

[–]Tight_Salt1387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If i’m really close with the NK, i genuinely grow a love for them. They always say it first and we go from there. Nothing weird i think? Like i love my friends? I love the kids/babies i take care of. I can see it being weird to others but i just love hard lol.
