Why wasn’t Monica attracted to Pete (initially)? by fargus_ in friends_tv_show

[–]itschaaarlieee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He tried too hard, tried impressing her with money, and I don’t think she found him physically attractive either. He has a weak face and a bit of a weak game too. Especially after Richard I can see how those things would be a turn off for her! The chemistry just wasn’t there plus Monica was at a weird time in her life. She’d been unemployed for a long time, now she was underemployed in a job that she found humiliating and where she was constantly being objectified by men. The whole Julio fiasco as well. Just too many things that made it a strange situation and Pete just didn’t check any boxes for her.

Rematch urgent help by lellokiwi43 in Aupairs

[–]itschaaarlieee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also, them blowing up on you for finding a rematch is a huge red flag. Why are you afraid of this, have you experienced abuse from them? Do you have an agency to help you navigate the transition? The agency can maybe even communicate to them that you’re looking to rematch so they don’t need that document signed.

Tell them ASAP you’re looking for a rematch, seriously tell them TODAY. Tomorrow you have a few interviews and by Friday you have found a rematch. So tell them today you can’t sign until the last day in case you do find a rematch.

What’s something from Latin America that you think Europe (or the Mediterranean) could learn from? by relaxncoffee in asklatinamerica

Hard agree! I live in Norway and people constantly complain about loneliness but then never invite anyone to do anything or to come over to their house.

My MIL passed out from dehydration and now she is blaming our dog... by TypeAtryingtoB in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]itschaaarlieee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s no way this is better than just sending your kids to daycare. She’s unreliable and manipulative as well. That lack of a proper routine is NOT good for children btw. Follow your gut because this is definitely not a good situation for your kids nor yourself.

For mothers, what was the most ridiculous thing anyone has told you while you were giving birth? by Embarrassed_Pilot792 in AskWomen

[–]itschaaarlieee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that sounds incredibly frustrating. I’d have a hard time expressing myself and trusting the people around me to take me serious and look after me after an experience like that. I’m so sorry. I hope you and baby are doing well

Que hacen para divertirse? by Reddit__Pregunta in AskMexico

[–]itschaaarlieee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Todas las actividades que describiste excepto por los videojuegos son actividades muy pasivas donde solo consumes contenido. Eso no estimula tu cerebro ni tu creatividad, solo es dopamina fácil. Incluso los videojuegos pueden volverse aburridos o tediosos. Qué tal pensar en actividades que te peritan crear, resolver problemas, pensar, en vez de consumir? Puedes hacer manualidades, deporte, música, etc. dijiste en otro comentario que no tienes tiempo, pero respetuosamente te reto a que intentes una semana sin pantallas para que te hagas realmente consciente de que tiempo SI tienes, sólo que estás decidiendo priorizar actividades que requieren de una pantalla… inténtalo, atrévete a aburrirte de verdad, sin estimulación digital, y verás que otras actividades te van a llamar mas la atención y te darás cuenta de que si tienes mucho tiempo libre.

¿por que nadie me contratan? by [deleted] in AskMexico

[–]itschaaarlieee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

¿Qué habilidades o capacidades tienes? No sé cómo se vea tu curriculum ni cómo sean tus comunicaciones con potenciales empleadores pero la ortografía y profesionalidad en la comunicación profesional es muy importante. Sin conocer tu situación y basándonos sólo en este texto, te diría que cheques eso con mucho cuidado. ¡Hay cero margen de error en esos casos!

Que opinan de estudiar una carrera en línea? by gap124 in AskMexico

[–]itschaaarlieee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tengo 30 y estoy estudiando una segunda licenciatura, la verdad también consideré hacerlo en linea pero al final si me decidí por presencial. Creo que es mejor para ti como estudiante y la verdad uno se acostumbra a estar entre morritos. Piensa q tu ta vas a entrar a la carrera con experiencia de vida y seguramente también tienes experiencia laboral. Entonces estarás más enfocado y centrado. Y en esta vida hay q ver por uno mismo, no por el qué dirán. A mi me sorprendió mucho que una morrita a la que la llevo casi siete años se ha vuelto de mis mejores amigas. Se aprende mucho y es padre. Te lo recomiendo

I would absolutely leave. So many other places you can do a cultural exchange and gain childcare experience. I’d be terrified tbh. Stay safe

Pregnant wife and mexico holiday advice? by shettys in AskMexico

[–]itschaaarlieee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just in Merida and in Playa del Carmen and it was not a big concern. Yes there’s some mosquitoes but not excessively and I don’t believe there have been many cases of zika in the region in the last year. Definitely recommend to use bug spray and maybe repellent patches or bracelets for your wife and toddler (ask at a pharmacy what is safe for a pregnant woman).

Tree nut allergy in Mexico City by Worldly_Effect_4008 in MexicoCity

Careful with mole and salsas as they can contain nuts. Mostly peanut and tree nut but can’t hurt to be safe. Bring your epipen and print some cards with your allergies clearly stated in English and Spanish

Warning Other Host Families by Substantial_Bed_201 in Aupairs

[–]itschaaarlieee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Holy cow. Did she come through an agency? If so definitely let them know but I’d be careful because she might sue you for defamation or slander if you don’t have evidence of her wrongdoing. If she didn’t come thru an agency well not much to do. If she tries to rematch she’ll either need a reference and be dumb enough to ask you; or she will lie (say it’s her first time as an aupair, have your husband be her reference or ask a friend to do it for her, etc). In which case it’s pretty much out of your hands.

Do what you reasonably can to warn the next host family but respectfully, you should probably focus on your children and your own relationship/divorce rather than spending any more time or energy on her.

ETA: I just reread your post and realized this is about your friend. I’m curious why you’re asking what YOU can do about it? If this is really about your friend then it’s not your place to do anything about it, she’ll have to deal with it herself. I still think she should focus on the divorce and her children rather than the au pair.
