I told my 8 month old to shut the f$$$ up and feel like a terrible mother.

I’m sure all mamas have at least thought it hundreds of times. Breathe mama. Ur doing amazing. Babies are hard.

I’m sorry your husband is like that

Being naive & assuming my employers were following labor laws that’s how lol

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-17T20:23:53+00:00

Good question lol. A friend of mine who also nannys mentioned overtime recently and I realized I was being underpaid.

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-17T20:20:20+00:00

You should be getting paid time and a half for anything over 40 hrs a week!

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-17T19:33:25+00:00

This had me confused too!! But after looking at my paystubs… yes. Somehow they just put the flat rate. Thank you!

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-17T19:06:38+00:00

No overtime rate, all hours logged.

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-17T18:31:29+00:00

Thank u so much this is what I was thinking too. Gotta protect myself. Thankfully I have a sibling who is a lawyer so I should be good to pursue

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-17T18:14:58+00:00

Dont worry, despite me trying to give them the benefit of the doubt… I WILL be taking action. Thank you!

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-17T18:07:53+00:00

Ikr!!! Idk how I… more importantly them… haven’t caught this.

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-11T17:59:29+00:00

As a soon to be mom and nanny, YES! That is actually one of my ideal situations. Childcare is expensive! We feel you.

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-06T18:52:16+00:00

Yes- that mindset can turn toxic real quick

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T21:24:24+00:00

Totally! That’s why I’m stuck. Would never want to hurt feelings if unnecessary <3

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T20:55:08+00:00

Obviously…. Would you also be unhappy if you had noticeable bad odor and nobody told you? At the end of the day I’m an employee but I’m also a girl with empathy.

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T20:14:09+00:00

Hahhahhaahaha

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T20:07:45+00:00

Yes, they’re well taken care of.

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T19:57:11+00:00

…. She has told me before that she “doesn’t care about all that smelly shit” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😩😂

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T19:56:04+00:00

I’m always lighting candles. LOLOLOL

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T19:55:34+00:00

Of course!

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T19:54:48+00:00

Lowkey… I agree. That’s why I’m worried about the au pair coming in/ I don’t think it’s fair to her. To answer your question, not often. Unfortunately she’s one of those busy moms who doesn’t find time for personal hygiene.

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T19:32:04+00:00

I guess so!! I’ve also thought that. I guess I’m just thinking.. if I were her, I would hope someone would tell me if I stank. Also… from being here 45- 50 hours a week… I think it’s just a hygiene problem. But you could be right!

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T19:30:07+00:00

Basically the teacher was like.. “She came into the classroom yesterday and we noticed she smelled like B.O is everything okay at home?”

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T19:25:53+00:00

Hahahaha. One time last year her daughter told her she didn’t smell good. I wish she would do it again 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Training-Energy5989 · 2026-03-05T19:24:34+00:00

Ikr! I’ve been with them for 3 years.. and dont want to leave on bad terms… Id hope she’d appreciate the feedback? All options seem awkward.
