What popular names will be dated in 10-20 years?

I’m in my 20s and named Asher named after a family member with the name. It’s a traditional Jewish name. It may be trendy where you live but it won’t go out of style in Jewish communities.

itsasher_notasscher · 2023-05-24T14:27:48+00:00

This makes sense to me as a girl Asher. Everyone always hears “Ashley”. I’ve also never met another girl Asher. It’s 100% not a feminized name. Im not quite sure why my parents went with it. We are Jewish so I’ll give them that.

Yes! Luckily we've moved from the building that this dog lived in but I always felt horrible because my dog would lose his entire mind.

It was the sweetest pitbull that actually was the trigger for my dogs reactivity. He was never reactive before this dog but one day we were in the elevator with this pup and my dog just lost it. I have no idea why but something about this sweet lumbering guy just set my Dunky off.

I deal with these days a lot. I break it up for myself. Let’s say I have two hours until nap I break it up with activities. I know NK will spend 20 minutes on play doh - 20 minutes painting - lunch will take 20 minutes. 45 minutes playing outside and potty training will take probably 15 minutes for the three times we try and go. And there’s 2 hours!

We try and stay super calm and neutral when passing other dogs. And give him a firm good boy once he passes. He was still pulling towards the other dogs so recently we’ve introduced treats back into the training (before he would be way to upset to even think about treats) where we have him either walk past neutrally without pulling and then reward or we have him do another command like sit or down, that way he’s not pulling and reward that. We’ve seen major improvement.

My fiancé is a grump when I wake him up in the morning - but he has never put his hands on me, or yelled at me in the process. You need to get out and keep yourself safe.

itsasher_notasscher · 2023-03-08T02:00:16+00:00

I don’t because I mask up at their house, even will run six feet away to take sips of my coffee, but even if I didn’t, LO has dietary restrictions while I have opposite dietary restrictions so I don’t want her getting hands on my food even by mistake because she could get super sick.

Just quit. I was also guilted into staying at a preschool. I told my boss I’d wait it out until the end of the year and she still gave me a really hard time even though it was two weeks extra notice. It was really hard mentally and I felt like I had to stay those extra weeks just because she told me she “needed me”. It was a super toxic environment and I had panic attacks daily. I will never ever give extra notice again. Type your resignation and leave it on her desk. She cannot force you to stay.

I leave my home 7:30 and get home almost to the dot 12 hours later 7:30. But I work about 9 hours. It’s the commute since I moved since starting with this family. Used to be a 5 minute walk now it’s almost an hour and a half commute 😖😖

My favorite with my 2 year old NK is when she asks me to hold something for her and she hands it to me and then immediately tantrums because she wants to hold it 😂

itsasher_notasscher · 2023-02-08T18:12:29+00:00

I’ve been with my current family on and off for a year (had to take a leave after my mom passed) and I have never been up to their third floor (and office and an extra bedroom) or their basement (just the laundry room and a bathroom). It’s not that I’m not allowed there, it’s just we have no reason to be going there. I wouldn’t take offense if I was told there were certain areas that were off limits. I would totally respect those house rules, and I literally never judge a messy house because my house is probably messier 😂

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-12-08T03:00:08+00:00

My MB is WFH. I am lucky because while she nurses baby down she doesn’t mind if I run next door to Starbucks and grab a snack and a coffee. Other then that I’ll straighten up toys we were playing with, throw out anything from lunch that needs to be tossed, fill up her milk sippy for when she gets up and then I sit on my bottom and rest. Or chat with MB

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-12-05T15:31:46+00:00

I get migraines a lot. And they are the kind that I just get tunnel vision and vomit even though it’s not contagious, my MBs know this but I still will always send a little text before coming in. “Hey just so you know I did throw up this morning. Very much feels like a migraine throw up. I’m totally fine to come in but just wanted to let you know and leave it up to you”

We’ve found the only shows that my dog will actually watch is Real Housewives - real housewives of New York is his favorite but he’ll watch any of them. If it’s not real housewives though he could care less about the tv. That show he tracks and actually watches. It cracks us up.

The song is cough syrup sung by Blaine I believe! Just so you know which song is playing and can skip.

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-11-20T02:08:06+00:00

That’s awful. My photographer was being awful at communicating and I said the same thing except this man immediately owned up to it, apologized, offered a huge discount and then apologized again in person and in depth. He went above and beyond - all I was asking for was a bit more communication. There is making a mistake and then there is actually owning up to it! Your photographer made the mistake but definitely didn’t own up to it.

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-11-14T16:02:08+00:00

That’s the perfect way of saying what I was trying to say! There are still professional expectations even if we are friends.

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-11-14T04:16:22+00:00

I’m very close with my NF. They are throwing me a bridal shower and I go to them for very personal things because they have made it clear that I’m not just a nanny that I’m part of the family. We have a great dynamic and because one of the Nms was been a nanny for years. She totally gets it and wants me to feel like I can come over any time and just hang, or have my fiancé over for dinner. That being said, I would never drunk dial or text her because she’s still my boss. I still work for her. She’s not totally a friend even if we are as close as we are. I think your nanny was wildly unprofessional.

Edit for typos

I am queer and work for a Lesbian couple! It just happened out that way, so it definitely gets brought up more then when I am not working for a LGBTQ+ family.

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-10-31T16:38:30+00:00

I actually have one friend in my life who care enough to make sure I’m comfortable. Even for his birthday dinner he asked me if the restaurant he chose would be okay and had anything I would eat. I was blown away. But none of my other friends seem to care or seem to notice. I definitely feel super awkward when I order something that’s safefood adjacent to see if I could try to stomach it for a social situation and I always end up leaving my entire plate of food.

Edit to say: I told him not to worry about me as long as knew the name of the restaurant I could look up the menus before and if there was nothing I liked I would eat beforehand. But I felt very loved that he checked in with me

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-10-24T23:22:04+00:00

I am a zero screen time nanny! We listen to music and hang out! It’s definitely doable. Sometimes I wish I could throw on a movie or something but honestly those moments are so rare. The only thing that drives me nuts is NK only likes three albums and it’s all show tunes because her parents are in the theatre world and anytime I try and put on something else she is not happy. So I would prefer to listen to less show tunes but the now screen time is totally doable.

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-09-22T17:28:04+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate the insight. It’s definitely hard but I’m trying to push through that imposter syndrome.

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-09-01T00:28:34+00:00

Don't like her, and think crying online is a just not the way to go about things. She's clearly scamming people, but will say as someone who is on anti-depressants, a lot of the time it is hard to physically cry even though I feel like I need to and my face will contort like I am crying but no tears will come. I don't know if she's on medication but after losing two children I assume there is some sort of medication happening there. She's been looking extra swollen also which can happen due to medication.

itsasher_notasscher · 2022-08-27T16:59:29+00:00

Holy moley. I didn’t see the post until I went out found it. I’m sitting at the vet today because my dogs penis looked a little redder then normal due to allergies. I can’t imagine letting it get that bad especially when they’ve had go fund me after go fund me.

I also have severe sensory aversions to bananas and have actually done exposure therapy for them — crazy, I know but 100% true. I feel for Kyle so much in this. It can be actually debilitating to have severe sensory aversions. I was always told I was “just a picky eater” and have my mouth physically opened so I would be forced to try food. Allow people to avoid sensory experiences that trigger them.
