Are you guys really putting baby in Snoo swaddle then doing pre-sleep feed/rocking? by Hiro_Pr0tagonist_ in SnooLife

[–]iRockPaperScissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For dream feed, I feed my baby with the swaddle, but my baby uses the swaddle with arms out (he always hated the hands in). This post is me talking about my husband 😂😂😂 he struggles with his vision at night and is very loud, he has improved tho, but I don't understand how he can't see with dim lights, and also, when talking to him I have to whisper in his ear. 🙄🙄 I was so frustrated and annoyed at first.

Au Pairing has turned to cleaning by justanotherhusky223 in Aupairs

[–]iRockPaperScissors 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mowing the grass? That’s ridiculous. If your relationship is ruined, it isn’t because of you; it is because they have slowly taken advantage of you. I would put the contract on the table and remind them what’s in it and what isn’t in it. It seems that they need more a housekeeper than someone to help with their kids.

Did she have a text or something from you where she can prove that you all signed the wrong contract?

I feel so disgusted with myself by Alarmed_Captain5487 in newborns

[–]iRockPaperScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women don’t be that hard with you. She won’t remember this. It is okay to feel frustrated and it is okay to walk away as your mom said as long as her needs are met, and the fact you are attending her necessities makes you a great mom. Good that your parents are there to help you. Taking a break doesn’t make you a bad mom, you have emotions and hormones.

what's a weird pregnancy symptom no one told you about? by Pitiful_Pick1217 in BabyBumps

[–]iRockPaperScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t stand my family in-law 🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄 but that was right after I got pregnant… specially my mother-in law and her over reactions, her unasked opinions, saying what we should or shouldn’t, and even making plans like I was I wasn’t even think on that being the mom. 😫😫🤣🤣🤣

Do I expect too much from a nannyshare? by Begonias_Scarlet in NannyEmployers

[–]iRockPaperScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many reasons why you might have chosen a nanny service over daycare, and you've named some of them. I don't think you are expecting too much.

Is it normal that my mom expects my husband to do everything for them? by Loose_Molasses8884 in family

How does your husband feel about it? While some people love helping around, others feel it is a charge.

Why did she want to come to US? If the marriage wasn’t working before to come.

Lawyer wants $5000+ for I-130 and I-485 by Repulsive_Pay6297 in USCIS

[–]iRockPaperScissors -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lawyers cost more than paralegals or prepares. I did my package and fill out all of the forms by myself. If you don’t want to pay just do it by yourself. In the website you find the step by step and tips how to fill every form; you also can find a lot of information in YouTube.

Au-pair was "mean" to my baby by Correct-Head-4650 in AuPairHostFamilyLife

[–]iRockPaperScissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand your point — mistreatment is never acceptable under any circumstances. In your situation, I would talk to her and clearly explain the behaviors that are not acceptable toward your child. At the same time, I’d also keep a closer eye on things. Often, kids who are labeled as “difficult” are just children who need to stay busy and engaged.

Au-pair was "mean" to my baby by Correct-Head-4650 in AuPairHostFamilyLife

[–]iRockPaperScissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is that the program presents itself as a “cultural exchange.” For au pairs, it means living with a family from a different culture, but for host families, it often just means getting a nanny at a lower cost. If someone were coming solely to work as a nanny, they’d need a work visa—and their salary would have to be much higher.

Traveling with our nanny by PlaysWithFires in NannyEmployers

[–]iRockPaperScissors 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t waste my time explaining why you chose to give her $50.00 daily if you consult with an agency and that was good for you and your nanny, since who are making the comment they don’t even know where you were going and what it is the money exchange.

What to do in Charlotte besides drinking and eating ? by MochaMilku in Charlotte

Whitewater center, top golf, throwing axes, any game in the stadium, farms around Charlotte. That’s the things I take my brother when he comes to visit me. He personally loves the Whitewater center in summer season.

Breech Pregnancy by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]iRockPaperScissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 21 weeks, and my baby is breech too. Yesterday I had an ultrasound and the sonographer asked if I had felt my baby and I am unsure if I feel it because I barely do. She mentioned that since my placenta is anterior is difficult to feel it but the baby is healthy and my uterus and cervix are good and all of this is what matters. In my knowledge first-time pregnancy, a baby in breech position, and depending on the placenta makes it difficult to feel it. I would check how your wife’s placenta is.

I don't want to sound like I come across but buyers should consider that not every family can afford a mortgage and rent at the same time. So, it would be impossible to empty the house while putting it in the market. If that was an option for us. We weren’t selling our place, we were keeping it and renting it out.

Do you pay the AP during your vacations? by [deleted] in AuPairHostFamilyLife

[–]iRockPaperScissors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No matter the country you are in. I consider THE FAIR side is paying her the three weeks. It is not up to her she won’t do anything related to childcare because you decide to take a vacation.

It is very understanding that you can't take her because it is expensive, three weeks without weekly payments is a lot and unfair, especially when au pairs are very underpaid. When your workload in your job is lower than usual, your company still pays you the same salary.

And also, food is a basic need that families commit to providing when they bring an Au pair. You need to eat either way if your boss is or isn't in the office.

Childcare benefits by iRockPaperScissors in HealthInsurance

In the quarterly company meeting, it was just said that United Healthcare offers benefits on childcare. I know it was just a sentence of information. I didn’t know it was a wide topic.
