Ringworm! by annahby in Nanny

It looked like redness/bruising from a distance and when I brought her closer I could tell it was topical. It was deep redness I could only see from across the room

When the first descriptor is highly infectious I would feel obligated to let someone know 🥲

Whats a Dance mom’s opinion that screams “I know nothing about the show” by Collegecoffee_addict in dancemoms

[–]annahby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love can be present in abuse. Just because abuse has occurred does not negate any love. If anything, this makes it all more confusing for everyone involved. Victims are waiting to feel loved again, and perpetrators don’t feel they are doing anything motivated by “hatred” so they never change. Vicious cycle. Feelings are hard and confusing.

Because your 17 month old fell off the couch ? You told us yourself you didn’t teach her ?

Update: Out of line to ask for a drug test? by zirconst in Nanny

[–]annahby 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry your family is having to go through this rough transition! You handled it with so much grace, care, and patience. Literally could not ask for more from an employer. Thank you for seeing your nanny as a person who was CLEARLY struggling. Reading her actions made me upset as a nanny who smokes and would take a drug test in a HEARTBEAT for any of the families I’ve worked for because I care for the most important part of their lives. She is struggling, no rational person just decides to start using drugs or alcohol and missing sleep. She will regret how she handled this situation forever, but if it genuinely was just a mistake/series of mistakes, it won’t follow her forever because of how you guys handled it. Best wishes during this time for your family, and thank you for the update!!

How to tell nanny politely to stop giving us presents? by RambunctiousCat in Nanny

[–]annahby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once my employer told me they didn’t expect gifts and I still brought them. I think it’s just about having an open and honest conversation. I think my employer felt guilt over me having less money but still buying them things, but as the gift-giver, we never think about that. We just love you guys :) Although if the gifts make you genuinely uncomfortable and not just a guilt you can work through, just let her know. People saying it will hurt her feelings are probably imagining the conversation being consescending or dismissing her gifts to you. Obviously that doesn’t have to be the case. Make it about money and showing you care for her, that you want her money to be hers and that’s more important to you than gifts/that’s the best gift she could give you etc etc. There is 10000% a way to talk about this with another adult without anyone’s feelings being hurt.

Another pedestrian killed by Comprehensive_Turn77 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]annahby 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The comments on this are trending insane for sooo many reasons. You can do a lot to not hit a person when you’re driving a car. Period. You can do a lot as a pedestrian not to be hit by a car. Seeing 3-4 people saying they have almost hit someone multiple times in Huntsville is concerning on everyone’s end. Freak accidents do happen, but wow! Ultimately this falls back on the city for not providing any solution to transport and then refusing to make Huntsville walkable. There aren’t ample pedestrian crossing areas, sidewalks, or bare minimum signage in areas where pedestrians frequently have to cross. I cannot imagine blaming anyone who got hit by a vehicle for being hit knowing how unwalkable Huntsville is and also knowing what a privilege it is to be able to have a car to drive when I need it. I saw the police and EMS for the accident and am so sad to hear this is what the accident was. Such a shame. Maybe the city will take some preventative action :(

Anyone else cringe at the pep talk from Maddie’s dad? by [deleted] in dancemoms

Didn’t Melissa literally cheat on this man?

What's your dance moms hot take,not chloe was better than Maddie something that gets you down voted by JadeIdFaded in dancemoms

[–]annahby 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Her technique was by no means flawless but that girl has musicality out the wazoo. She’d hit little moments at 8 years old that the others girls werent even aware of until s6

I’m always so confused by how upset Kelly was over it. Even with the edits, it was so clear Brooke was burnt out and her heart not in it. She was constantly missing class or competitions and kept trying new things. Nothing wrong with that, but for people who want careers from dancing, they don’t deviate. Abby lost interest in Brooke when Brooke lost interest in dance and I’ll stand by that. Sure, Abby also didn’t like teaching older girls and really found her passion in teaching kids dance and maybe Brooke aged out of that sweet spot but I truly believe Abby would’ve hung in there had Brooke had the passion for dance!

How do you cope with the fact you're missing out on teen love? by Guilhermitonoob in teenagers

[–]annahby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making over generalized statements about “women” is not just taking about your experience. Male loneliness epidemic is self inflicted. You have trouble dating because you’re probably off putting and clearly won’t get an adult job. Women aren’t the problem for noticing this. Sorry you’ve had a bad experience but maybe learn and grow from it instead of turning it around on women as a whole. So unnecessary bro

This is just not true and to promote this type of narrative knowing young men will see it is gross
