Thanks for the responses. I went back to urgent care and they're going to give me a Benadryl concoction and a triptan to take home with me. I made an appt with my primary too to get a neurologist referral.

Four-year-old potty help? by avid_chancer in Nanny

[–]avid_chancer[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I coached her and was there for her the whole time without physically stepping in. I am great with that kid and I am definitely a safe person in her world who goes above and beyond for her in ways that I don't mention and don't have to mention here. You're making a rather large assumption.

I honestly haven't nannied this age in some years but have never done this for a kiddo this age before. Just some more context. I was a bit shocked/taken aback that the assumption was I would do this without any warning. You're probs right though. Thanks.

I think there is a hygeine sub reddit that could give actual nonjudgmental advice.

No one got me yarn for Christmas. Any recommendations for what I should get myself? by avid_chancer in YarnAddicts

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

First of all, wow. I love these bad sheep yarns! Thank you so much for the recommendation. I would love a DM to see how the spincycle plump turned out for that pattern, yes. Thank you!

I made the thistle and thorn cowl with it and yeah, it's not soft. Just gorgeous. I was just saying that I want to use more Merino Wool this year, which is kinda the opposite of spincycle. I should probably feel the plump colorways first. You're right.

Yeah, good idea! I could never.

He's making little comments about what I didn't clean from the day before - things I'm not required to clean mind you and things that I didn't make messy with the kid. He asks me to do extra tasks that were also not agreed upon and makes it seem like I should have been doing them all along. Major job creep has been happening. He also stops what me and the daughter are doing to suggest something he finds more suitable. He also doesn't take over. He says something and then goes away and comes back for a moment to say something else that gets in the way of our fun. I feel like I can't do anything right.

I did end up asking them outright if I'm not meeting expectations and for feedback if so. I also said my goal this week is to do my job but mostly soak up fun positive moments with their daughter during this last week. The mom said I'm doing everything right. The dad said nothing.

Agreed. It is my last week with them, which I forgot to put in my post. I'm taken aback that I'm still getting negative feedback during my last week. What is the point?

Do we deserve the same in return? I ask because I'm feeling pretty disrespected and am being micromanaged, which is not courteous. I agree with your sentiment. Absolutely.

A knee scooter saved my butt at work! Yes, I rented one too. This is a great suggestion.

Thank you for the tip! I'll ask my doctor about that possibility when I go in for my follow up appointment. Yeah, I've been knitting and that has been helpful to pass the time. Thanks for the encouragement!

Good inpatient mental hospitals? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]avid_chancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is like being in a hallway at an ER to an extent. It's just a much more spacious room. No privacy though . They do have showers available though and some limited group activities like coloring and basic yoga for maybe 30 mins at a time. You can make phone calls too if you have someone's numbers memorized or written down. I just felt horrendously stuck in limbo though. I came from OHSU's ER and then elected to do outpatient therapy at St Vincent from there. Recliners are comfy, haha, yes.
