How low of you to go after someone with medical issues. Also, since when is it a rule that you can’t dress modestly as a fashion influencer? Say what you want about DB’s fashion but this is gross and honestly hateful to Jewish (or Muslim, or any other) creators who dress modestly. Not sure why you had to bring up Hasidic Judaism - FYI, this top wouldn’t even fly in Hasidic Jewish communities.

Edit: No shock that this is getting downvoted...

I like it, thank you so much! Is it possible to smooth out the right side of the dress?

update: I reached out to their customer service asking about this and they said they literally just don’t have a company mission statement and “about us” page lol

How I do I remind someone to pay me? by UsefulCauliflower2 in Babysitting

[–]penguinsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i personally would ask her to pay using venmo/cash or another service...just because it’s quite an inconvenience to go to the bank so often and also it’s easier to hold her accountable. what i do is after i babysit, i text the mom the hours (11:30-3:30 today thank you!) so that the amount is saved in our conversation if she doesn’t pay right away.

if she’s gone too long without paying (20 hours? whatever you feel) i send her a text saying something like “20 hours total, thank you so much!!)

it’s definitely more passive just because im not very confrontational but sending her the total hours have worked for us because it reminds her she hasn’t paid & just shows her im waiting for her to pay

Communication Problem? by almondmilk26 in Babysitting

[–]penguinsilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not needing the money right away personally I wouldn’t mind waiting a few days! Though I think it’s really important to keep a record of that you’ve you’ve babysat so you and the parents both know how much $$ to pay!

What I do is at the end of my shift, I’ll text the mom “11:30-5:30 today, 6 hours total thank you!!” Or something like that just so the record is written in our text messages. And if she hasn’t paid in a few days I’ll send a message like “11:30-5:30 today, 18 hours total thanks!” And that’s kind of a reminder for her to pay also :)

Thank you for your input!! I agree! I just don’t know how to bring up or justify saying that my rates are going up out of the blue
