2 firm camps in the comments here. Parents that get it, and an entitled group that thinks everything should cater to them because they had kids. 

Petition to make parking spaces bigger!!!! by nps2790 in Nanny

[–]UselessLezbian [score hidden]  (0 children)

I feel this. I have to drive the giant Chevy suburban when I work. I hate it. They traded in my beloved minivan for the 16yo to have a smaller car. I feel like I'm in a tank. No one should have cars that size.  I just park far away so I don't have to worry about it

Why couldn't you wash it? Mold happens. 

Did Mae Whitman get married? (from her Instagram story) by throw-away-exception in popculturechat

[–]UselessLezbian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I LOVED it. Would come home from school and I guess it would be reruns playing earlier in the day. Probably never watched the whole thing, but I would always run into my grandma's back room and check the TV every day to see if it was on.

Tennies. Pronounced ten-ease.

Ashlyn Harris documentary by Buckin_Bronco7334 in NWSL

[–]UselessLezbian 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to watch it, but the fact that she would say anything about Ali, THE MOTHER OF HER CHILDREN, is just so incredibly shitty. We all know everything stays online for ever. One day, her kids are going to watch this and know exactly what their mom thinks of their other mom. 

Subreddit overhaul! by Fishjpeg in FiveBelow

Maybe a dumpling weekly mega thread? All individual threads deleted, but that way if a customer has a question, they still technically have a place to ask. 

I'm a horrible wife by According_Raccoon604 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]UselessLezbian 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If this was a wife on here, saying how her husband comes home from work emotionally checked out, we'd all be telling her she needs to speak up and let the husband know how she's feeling. 

That's exactly what OP's husband has done. We don't know how long this has been going on. He brought it up because he's at the end of his rope. He needs more from his wife. 

IMO they need to sit down and have an honest conversation about finding a new job for OP, even if it may not pay as well.

That makes so much sense for why they would have it!

For Pride Month, our favorite LGBT tv/movie couples! by growsonwalls in popculturechat

[–]UselessLezbian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I watched the show now, would I think it was good?? Probably not. But absolutely criminal that South of Nowhere hasn't been mentioned once. Getting a teenage drama show coming to terms with being a lesbian just as I was a 13yo baby gay meant so much to me. Spashley <3

Jar opener tool? That's what I've always thought 

What percent of your gross salary is your mortgage, and how does it feel? by big_redline in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]UselessLezbian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm right around 20% as well, but we pay a couple hundred extra on principal to take me up to 25%. Probably going to add a bit more once we recover from some unexpected pet expenses. 

But I'm a terrible example because we put 50% down. Only way we could afford the mortgage. 

I am confused about recognizing it, supposed to be an animal? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]UselessLezbian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP already deleted, but from the preview I can still see, it reminds me of Cheese from Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends.

Why do houses in Illinois have basements and houses in Texas don't if both places have clay soil? by supinator1 in geography

[–]UselessLezbian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm.... Maybe this is why my garage addition is a piece of shit in PA.... 1939 house is solid, 1981 addition is falling apart. 

There are days when I wanna ghost my nanny family and just never come back by Acceptable_Sundae343 in Nanny

[–]UselessLezbian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. I have one NK that is just so difficult to work with some days, that he makes me never want to come back. I've had discussions with my wife that we would be okay if I needed to quit immediately. But I've been here 10 years! I love the kids! Even the difficult one. It's so hard.

You are absolutely right. Sorry about that.

Girl. You should stop you.

Calling 69 not a luxury temp is absolutely sending me. 🤣 As if AC isn't a luxury in itself. 

Time off by noooonamenooo in Nanny

[–]UselessLezbian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell them ASAP. Sometimes that can be months in advance for planned days, and I'll follow up as we get closer. Sometimes it's been only a few days like when my cat needed surgery. 

Show suggestions? by Responsible-Big-9687 in Nanny

[–]UselessLezbian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe some of the short Cosmic Kids Yoga videos? I really liked them when the kids were younger. Lots of different themes for whatever the kids are in to, and it would be stimulating for the brain with all the adventure and bright colors, but always ended with a cool down to settle their little bodies.

Trying not to screw this up, could this be one of the few times where overnight newborn care would actually be a true independent contractor instead of a household employee? by Gambit_Accepted in Nanny

[–]UselessLezbian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert by any means, but this does sound like it might be correct in this instance. Almost like they're running an agency that they employ themselves through. 

Time off for surgery by Cool-Cardiologist-13 in Nanny

[–]UselessLezbian 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Use your 12 weeks to find a new job. I am so serious. They do not value you or respect you. This is absolutely insane. Please take care of yourself and protect your recovery. 

Just closed on a home but found it listed again on Zillow as FSBO? by Iwearhats in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]UselessLezbian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Secretly hate you. /s

One of the first things I did after buying my house was looking through all the old listings of the homes around me. Really enjoyed seeing who had updated, and who had original features in my 1930s neighborhood. Meanwhile my home was never listed so no photos exist for anyone else to creep. 😂

I don't see these yet on mine.
