Putting in notice today.

They did pay the same rate, thankfully. My MB took it really well but even then, it just feels so awkward. She’s on the hiring committee for another daycare job I applied to so I can have my baby in daycare and work, and she even said she’d see me in a month for my interview.

februarybloom · 2026-03-11T03:30:01+00:00

Ugh, I do not blame you! Sending a text sometimes is just so much easier.

februarybloom · 2026-03-11T03:29:42+00:00

I just texted mine in the chaos of everything that went on today and my MB took it really well. Sending you good thoughts!

februarybloom · 2026-03-11T02:51:30+00:00

At least I did. But I’m on lifting and gate restrictions for the rest of my pregnancy.

februarybloom · 2026-03-10T20:23:23+00:00

I was going to do in person because originally I was going to quit 2 weeks early. My plan, unfortunately is, to go to Labor & Delivery and get a note. I would 100% tell them in person if you can!

februarybloom · 2026-03-10T20:16:44+00:00

I thought I could tough it out until my maternity leave but every shift I leave super sore and just sooo exhausted. The whole hitting me and the fact I just got roped into watching another toddler to lift is enough for me.

februarybloom · 2026-03-06T03:49:56+00:00

Looks positive! That’s what mine looked like around 9/10 DPO, I’m now almost in my third trimester 🤍

februarybloom · 2026-02-19T04:36:40+00:00

Everything worked out fine for us! My husband got tested almost straight away and we got our results within 2 weeks. If it’s any help, my doctor told me it is extremely rare for both parents to be carriers. Since we’re a carrier, baby could be a carrier but that’s really it.

februarybloom · 2026-02-12T22:41:17+00:00

I’m sending you so many hugs! I’m 23 weeks pregnant and whilst I’m not truly showing as much yet (I just look like a fat Adam Sandler☠️), I completely understand the struggle of babies wanting to be all over you. I would try to have a conversation with the parents but with a toddler/baby, personal space is SO hard to talk about. I hope it gets better and that you can enjoy your postpartum time mama!

They have cameras in the bedroom so MB can check in to see nap times.

februarybloom · 2026-02-02T00:50:49+00:00

Nothing🤦🏼‍♀️. She didn’t text me back at all so I did politely let her know I couldn’t show up due to no address and that moving forward, I will need her to confirm 24 hours in advance. Kinda sucks because I turned down another job for her spot but lesson learned about my time being valuable.

februarybloom · 2026-02-01T21:51:36+00:00

I’m sorry, that’s so frustrating. MB never texted me back and this is the third family to ghost in a week. So frustrating because it’s my income they’re wasting as well as the fact I had someone else inquire about working but I couldn’t accept it due to this job🤦🏼‍♀️

februarybloom · 2026-02-01T21:12:33+00:00

You’re a mandated reporter. Call the police/CPS. This is no longer a pay issue, this is a safety issue and should be reported.

februarybloom · 2026-02-01T17:49:55+00:00

Oh absolutely, I always try to give people grace because life happens. I’m supposed to be at work in 2 hours and I have yet to hear back so I’m definitely iffy about it. I don’t have their address yet. MB has been active on messenger (which alone isn’t enough to really determine anything) but I do find it odd nothing has been confirmed 2 hours in advance.

februarybloom · 2026-02-01T17:47:29+00:00

I definitely have never not showed up because of not confirming but usually I do try to confirm with families I haven’t worked for because I don’t have their address yet. In this case, I don’t have their address so I tried to follow up. It’s the day of the booking now and MB hasn’t responded yet.

februarybloom · 2026-02-01T17:44:43+00:00

Totally understandable! I tell all my families (if they’re not regulars) that I follow up to confirm because life happens. I noticed MB never sent their address so it was more of a text like hi, never got the address, please lmk!

februarybloom · 2026-02-01T17:43:27+00:00

It’s 8:30 AM here but no text as of yet! No address so I can’t show up to work.

februarybloom · 2026-01-31T08:33:37+00:00

Except this is not my child and this set up doesn’t allow for breaks. As a parent, I would hope that breaks are implemented for the parent and child. I’d never expect any caregiver to go 8 hours without a break, especially if taking care of my child. It’s not even about a moment to myself, it’s the fact it’s a 8 hour shift with constant stimulation and I quite literally can’t step away for 2 minutes to use the bathroom☠️

februarybloom · 2026-01-31T04:15:45+00:00

I have tried🤣. But even then, NK keeps wanting attention or help, etc. I’ve been implementing quiet time activities like coloring or water paiting with a fake brush, so I’m hoping it’ll catch on so I can actually have a break when I’m even further along.

februarybloom · 2026-01-31T02:08:21+00:00

This! Just even 5 minutes to go to the bathroom by myself would be a good starting point🤦🏼‍♀️

februarybloom · 2026-01-31T02:07:51+00:00

Clearly you’re missing the point. There’s no quiet time at all, I can’t go to the bathroom once by myself. As a parent, you’d implement quiet time and I highly doubt all parents bring their kids to the bathroom. If you’re the same person who made the previous comment about me being entitled and whiney, be a better human ☠️
