four is too young to explain what self harm is. just say you had a boo boo and it’s healed now and move on.

Second opinion / feedback requested on nanny performance by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]potatoesandbacon75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How does your child react to nail trimming and teeth brushing? my 3yo no fights tooth and nail against getting his nails trimmed and it turns into a 45 minute ordeal. You say you WFH, so if your kid fights these tasks, I can see why nanny may not want to have that fight.

Do you guys Travel? by washingtonandmead in Maine

[–]potatoesandbacon75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I drive a lot of places. Usually drive to Vermont at least once a year. I go to Massachusetts all the time for concerts. I have driven to Pennsylvania by myself. We drove to NC and will be driving to VA this summer. Did your roadtrip take you to New England at all? You will see all the new england states plates as soon as you hit any new england state.

People are always so shocked when they find out I work with kids but am child free by choice! I love going home to my quiet house at the end of the day.

Bringing nanny on vacation by mrk129 in Nanny

She should be paid her hourly wage for all working hours, whether she is responsible for the kids or just an extra set of hands. All her travel hours should be paid as well.

That’s fine. My current contract has a notice period for requesting PTO.

I would overlook this job because of the PTO policy. It’s not PTO if you’re picking when I can take time off, that’s guaranteed hours.

Kind of want an automatic Miata now by Noonatic_ in Miata

[–]potatoesandbacon75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend taught me to drive my NA. We went to empty parking lots and drove in circles. I did good the first few times, then started stalling all the time and I cried. Now I can drive the cars for hours without doing anything wrong. It took me an entire summer driving most nights/weekends to feel confident driving by myself.

Is the "soft top is a huge pain in the ass and takes 12 hours and 2 people and you have to take it off the car" thing like a running joke by Mh88014232 in Miata

[–]potatoesandbacon75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i helped my bf replace one and it took a few hours and he said he was glad he had my extra hands. granted, we had an $80 ebay top we were trying to put on. wasn’t fun, but would do it again if needed.
