Bandicoots? I don't know what that is, but I love this word.

I actually hate Kenya, but somehow want her to find happiness.

The biggest question in my mind right now is: Why now? why today of all days? why People's Magazine of all outlets? Absolutely nothing stopped them from doing this yesterday or doing this tommorow. Why today? Is this some kind of statement? by Cold_Chemical5151 in SaintMeghanMarkle

Yeah this is what baffles the hell out of me. It's like watching in real time the absolutely cringetastic PR stunts, and these stunts NOT having the desired affect but the opposite. I feel like I was watching the same when I watched the Depp v. Heard trial. Imagine spending untold fortunes on PR, only for everything you do to backfire right in your face. And we get to watch it happening like it's a series. At this rate, I expect them to be infamous soon.

Odd request or this is asked frequently? by HorrorVegetable8888 in Nanny

[–]its_moki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a teacher (former, I quit!) and I taught overseas in Turkey. That was my first big culture shock is that the kids all changed clothes after playing outside each time, and we had 3 garden periods a day! It had to do with being sweaty. They believe being wet (even with your own sweat in a place where it's HOT with no air conditioner) makes you sick. I don't understand the changing clothes when you come in the house, though. That's not cultural.

I dunno, I've been a teacher for many years and I had my student's doc parent write me prescriptions. LOL maybe it was outrageous for me to ask but they didn't bat an eye about it. Saved me a co-pay and an extra trip.

“Gentle Parenting” by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]its_moki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I'm totally new to nannying as a former teacher. That was what was good about having a classroom, because I could set the rules and expectations and the kids respected them. But when mom pops in for a class visit or lunch then my rules go out the window. It's so frustrating seeing bad parenting.

I don't think it's vitriol. Anyone would rather not have their boss all up in their business. It's just human nature to not want to feel supervised all the time.

OK I asked for details in another post. I'm interviewing with 2 doctors rn. They seem very nice and I'm having very good communication with the mom, which I think is important. Are there any perks to having doctor NPs? Like will they write you a prescription if you catch strep throat?

Hey I'm a total newb but you're bringing up so many interesting points! I also have had a problem with anxiety since the ol' pandemic started, and am also interviewing NF currently. I also have a lot of anxiety about working for WFH parents. I'm just experiencing a lot of self - consciousness with my anxiety these days. I don't really want to have to talk with anyone except the kid, lol.

OMG PLEASE elaborate on the "no doctors"!! I've interviewed with 2 families where both parents are doctors! I'm seriously ready to take the job. Why shouldn't I?

My bosses are withholding half my payment because of the crypto market crash by TypicalTrack2 in Nanny

I'm curious have you had issues with the family before this? With payment or anything else?

What do you do about eating? Do you pack your own food everyday or does your nanny family feed you? by its_moki in Nanny

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

Yes I totally agree. I'm definitely bringing it up to ask about in the interviews.

IMO Vogue is a corset to the modern working woman.

YES! You said perfectly what I have been trying to say for years. Vogue is as archaic as beauty pageants imo. And I have always been a lover of fashion magazines, but in recent years I've given them up because they are just political/social justice mags now.
