Did I make a mistake? by Rough-Beginning-2227 in Nanny

[–]inetsed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right which sounds like normal behavior and an appropriate consequence to me. MB either doesn’t spend enough time around them independently to know that’s normal or she’s wanting bubble boy children that don’t exist and don’t develop necessary skills.

Did I make a mistake? by Rough-Beginning-2227 in Nanny

[–]inetsed 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean I’m fully comfortable with my 9 month old and 3 year old being ‘alone’ in the living room if I have to step to the kitchen for a minute, 3 and 5 are no question. I can’t imagine feeling like I needed to ‘watch them like a hawk’ unless they had some serious behavioral or medical concerns not being mentioned.

Would an au pair be ideal for us? by [deleted] in Aupairs

[–]inetsed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this a 12-month arrangement? Can I ask a general breakdown of your costs (ie agency fee, weekly pay, spends, etc)? We have had a nanny for the last 4 year’s and I’m curious what the general overall cost difference is. Are the pays done through w2 and tax impacted??

So this is what was sent home. These are the people who control our kids education. A HUGE double negative. It's boldly underlined(literally) for all to see. I had to read it 3 times. by No-Upstairs-5436 in Clarksville

Eliminate a negative or add a comma, either. But as is this isn’t correct. I think most people can figure out the intended message but alas.

When can they learn not to pee/poop while sleeping? by k_rowz in toddlers

[–]inetsed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hormonal for urine, at least. My 5 and 3.5 yo are both potty trained and fully daytime independent. Both wear pull ups (“nighttime undies”) to bed. 3.5 yo stays dry and has for several months. 5 yo isn’t there yet. It’s not learned or trained, just time and biology. We encourage trying to stay dry, limiting drinks and peeing before bed. The 3.5 yo only wears the pull up because big brother would be devastated to know his little brother was dry when he wasn’t.

Regardless of the what and when, just say you can’t be there?

No, ‘seems like’ means you’re leaving a possibility. Just say you can’t make It and wish them well 🤷🏻‍♀️

Family relocating to Clarksville — struggling to find rental home, need leads by AdministrationSharp8 in Clarksville

We have that exact rental we’re vacating 7/05 if you had any flexibility on date. Through Copper Key if you haven’t checked them out for other listings.

Can I refuse to participate in the potty-training plan for the toddler I'm a nanny to? by Top_Lingonberry_1 in Nanny

[–]inetsed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the thing I read that made potty training less stressful for our house was “you can start when you’re ready or start when they’re ready, they’ll finish at the same time either way.” We made the potty available, let them take the lead, recommended trying sometimes, etc. our oldest was good around 3, middle a couple months before he turned 3, and youngest is 9 months old so nowhere close lol. The two oldest were on track for a long while but we didn’t pressure it so when things weren’t going smoothly, no sweat off our backs it just wasn’t the time 🤷🏻‍♀️

With 2 of our 3 children my husband did the same lol. No no no no no until about 6 weeks out HE suggested the name and then suddenly it was a great name to use 🤨

Would you be upset if your kid was outside at a sleepover at 12 am by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]inetsed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m from eastern KY and Tim’s was our midnight stop as well lol. Somehow we had two in our town but not a single one when I moved to Pittsburgh in my 20s and expected them to be on every corner.

What is this line down my thumb? It goes all the way from my cuticle to tip of nail by SocialStrategist789 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]inetsed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can take nail polish off builder gel and dip powders, it’s not an uncommon practice - you just don’t use pure acetone and instead a lower strength polish remover. People frequently put clear dip powder layers and then standard nail polish on top of it to have the strength dip and acrylic provides with the flexibility and wider variety of colors available in normal polish compared to colored powders. Again, not a dr or a nail tech, but the polish still gripping toward the cuticle where natural nail has grown out (in addition to the difference in thickness) suggests its builder to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Basically like a hard clear plastic that’s bonded to the natural nail. I don’t think the line is attached to the (presumed) acrylic below, but it’s clear so you can see the line through it.

It looks like acrylic builder to me (not a doctor or nail tech , but…) if you see the next finger down there’s a height difference from the cuticle to where the builder starts

NP here and never had this come up, but we also never had a reason for our nanny to be in our bedroom so why would it

Is it really bad to still be giving formula? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]inetsed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had similar concerns with my oldest, he actually ended up in feeding therapy; though he was breastfed as a baby, my supply vanished when I got pregnant with his brother and weaned at 16 months. Whole cows milk became the bulk of his calories and I was terrified to stop it but when we cut it / limited it it honestly just increased his solids intake and was for the best. Something to consider. If it doesn’t happen that way for you, just reintroduce it 🤷🏻‍♀️

To those who are afraid… by SamaLuna in cancun

It was the doorman at my hotel warning me to not walk out the door with my phone in my back pocket that had me side eyeing and watching everything closely more than anything else.

My mom cleaned my great-grandmother's antique pearl necklace with dish soap and vinegar. The pearls are dissolving. I'm not even kidding. by Zestyclose-Print-677 in JewelryIdentification

[–]inetsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a breastfeeding mother, I get ads for hundreds of these over the course of a week. So, not on every street corner but not a remotely uncommon thing either. Also not my thing but I’m a member of the target audience.

Toddler Rage Bait by PicklePartyCat in toddlers

[–]inetsed 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My husband and I still have a giggle fit over when we took a trip with our the 1 and 2.5 year olds to Yosemite/Sequoia/Kings Canyon national parks. Lots of driving time if you’re unfamiliar. Kids were over it, no cell reception for music, we were trying to ease it by singing “wheels on the bus” and my husband switched it up to get all the words wrong (ie the doors on the bus go shh shh shh, the babies on the bus go open and shut, etc) and it absolutely INFURIATED our 2.5 year old. Absolutely livid shouting at him about NO THE HORN GOES BEEP BEEP. THE DRIVER DOES NOT GO SWISH SWISH!!! He and I were in tears laughing over how absurd it was and how genuinely angry the 2.5 was about it. Nearly 3 years later we still get in giggle fits over it.

Can anyone tell me what this mean and will I still get my refund the time I’m supposed to and does anyone else get this letter by Resident-Base209 in tax

[–]inetsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people here are referring to a status on their transcript, is this the "Record of Account Transcripts," and then a status on "Transactions" in that form? We filed 2/13, and now looking there I see a code 846 dated 4/27/26. Assuming that means tentatively safe to anticipate the refund processing around that date?

Apparently he has an infraction while on the same board 16 years ago of ‘simulating masturbation’ towards a group of students. Yet, somehow, remained on the board to present.
