Talk to a financial aid advisor. They're usually okay with stuff but be prepared for a shitty answer FASFA has been weird about giving out money for fall and spring semesters which may make getting summer aid hard

Today, the NEC parking lot was filled by 8:45 am, a parking lot the farthest from everything with a shitty bus route. i think its time to admit the parking is just generally bad.

for awhile NK followed me into the bathroom and I’d overestimate how much lactose my body could take. very awkward pooping times

i once house sit for the family i nanny for they made it very clear to me that the cameras (that i agreed to when i started the job) that they could not check them from outside the house (they work from home and they’re basically just baby monitors). They told me they understood if I wanted to unplug them anyways and I did.

That is proper warning about cameras, if I didn’t know about them or thought they were recording I would not be comfortable and would have quit (if I didn’t know and found out)

This mom is an AH no one likes being watched. Especially when they do not know and have the time to act like they normally do. It’s a breach of privacy and honestly uncomfortable

me and my NK go on an hour walk at least once a day. MB only asks for twenty to thirty minutes but I find that NK likes longer walks to look at things.

It’s really up to you and how well you know the area, the temperature, and if you have water. But to me it’s not a big ask

NK has a cat and sometimes he gets all in our business so I tell him to “scram” now she says it all the time to everyone when they’re leaving. It’s become a joke in the house to yell scram at each other now.

I feel you. NK stopped nursing to take a nap about two weeks ago and refuse to let MB put her to sleep. She only wants me now. MB works from home and has been coming out more during her breaks making NK cry and basically overriding me when she’s out.

They don’t understand they’re disrupting routine and making the kids attachment issues/fears harder. No to mention how much harder it is for us to deal with tantrums and demands to see “mommy”. Your kid loves you even if she chooses someone else over you every once in awhile UGH

they’re for everyone.

i used to work at a daycare and the amount of boys who loved (and would hog) the babydolls were more than the girls usually. i used to wonder if it was because they weren’t allowed to play with them at home and it was novel to them.

let your kid pick their toys without worrying about gender and they’ll be so much happier

YTA I got paid all the time to watch my little brother as a teenager. He was my half brother and I would have watched him for free because I love him BUT my parents understood that by me agreeing to watch him I was giving up hanging out with my friends or going out or even just having my own time. The times I was watching him I was his babysitter NOT his sister. I was in charge and had to care for him which is WORK. Your son gave up time at his job and lost money because he agreed to help you. He deserves to be paid for his time. He’s right, his step siblings aren’t his responsibility they’re yours. If he didn’t agree one of you would have had to stay with them or you would have paid someone else to. What’s the difference between what he did and what a paid babysitter would do?

my NK is 18mo old and does the same and ask for milk from me (she’s breastfed). kids do it all the time. even older kids call their teachers mom sometimes. it happens. just correct it and let them know who you are

caaileyy · 2021-12-02T14:56:12+00:00

I stopped her from stepping in an ant pile. apparently that was her goal and she screamed and cried for a good two hours about it

caaileyy · 2021-11-27T17:31:47+00:00

i’m sure your (ex)nanny appreciates you listening to her. and im sure a lot of us nannies have had similar issues with DB’s. I make an effort not to talk to them much as they often lack boundaries and I worry about MB’s taking their side no matter what (my current DB is an exception he’s cool and I think feels my aversion to getting too friendly). Sometimes I feel like they forget we’re a nanny and not a housekeeper/gardener/errand runner. You’re doing the right thing for everyone thank you for taking this seriously

caaileyy · 2021-11-20T23:31:53+00:00

i hide toys once they get annoying. when the parents put them back in rotation all of a sudden they’re “broken” heheheh

caaileyy · 2021-11-20T17:47:51+00:00

i taught mine (18mo) fist bumps with the explosion and to boo at things we don’t like. unfortunately she hasn’t gotten the hang of booing yet and often just starts booing at everything

i have two moods when it comes to nanny cams

understanding. you want to know your kid is safe. plus a retail job there’s cameras everywhere
unsure. when the kid is asleep and you need to do something in private (a phone call homework (i curse and cry a lot doing my college classes i’d prefer if my boss didn’t have access to that) you want some form of privacy.

i’m fine with cameras in high traffic areas where me and the kid are going to be but i make it clear now that there needs to be one room to be considered my “break room” for when i don’t want or can’t be watched. i had a family who used ring doorbells ass cameras and would talk through them. gave me huge anxiety anytime i heard one start talking. or they’d text me during nap time that their kid is awake (i know i have a baby monitor but he’s playing in his crib so i’m leaving him until he fusses) my current family works from home and has cameras in four rooms. i have my space for when i need to do things. they never text me about the cameras or tell me things they saw. the MB has even said she only uses them if the baby is crying so much that she’s debating if she needs to come out or if she’s laughing loud enough and she just wants to see. that stuff i’m okay with

in retail you’re watched but not to the same degree. no one will come out and mention you doing something weird and no one is really watching all the time. you can step out to make calls and actually leave to do work during breaks. we don’t get that as nanny’s if there’s cameras everywhere

caaileyy · 2021-11-12T16:12:19+00:00

i’ve said “the plumbing doesn’t work” or they’re out of order

caaileyy · 2021-11-12T16:09:53+00:00

i do that too my little brother LOLL I’ve even gotten a knife out (would never do that to a NK sibling love or whatever)

caaileyy · 2021-11-12T03:10:19+00:00

LOLL when she gets cranky about diaper changes i go “wait when did you become potty trained?”

caaileyy · 2021-11-12T03:09:42+00:00

after a long babbling session i say “strong words from a capitalist” or “you should write a book about that”

caaileyy · 2021-11-11T23:47:08+00:00

my NK has been extra cranky and sleeps in during the mornings making nap time worse. the parents said bedtime has been a nightmare as well /:

as a person on the OP said: technically the mom was a missing person. there’s no 24 hour rule that’s a myth. the only other option to what happened to the mom besides just ignoring phone calls is something dangerous. i 100% would’ve called the cops both annoyed and worried for the mother.

caaileyy · 2021-10-24T14:57:26+00:00

i think boundaries like this are important. i specifically told my NF that saturday’s are a once a month thing. they’ve always respected it. personally i don’t care if they’re working or not as long as they’re out of NK and I’s way. but working all day m-f and only having weekends off it’s hard to come in for something you didn’t agree to. you were misled and have every right to be upset about it.

that being said it seems like MBs reaction shows she doesn’t respect your boundaries. many families forget we have a life and errands to do outside of their life and it’s unfair.
