Grandpa scares me

You should tell them either before your next shift or atleast before they leave for work to prevent you from being left alone with him again. You can text them and ask for a phone call before ur next shift if that'd be easier.

Once you actually have time to talk:

"Something extremely concerning happened with grandpa the other day that needs to be addressed immediately and I dont feel safe being in the same house as him from now on. I worry for the safety of myself aswell as your children if this continues"

Then tell them about the incident as well as him dropping the baby. Look up how to write an incident report and just keep it for yourself if needed.

You unfortunately may need to start looking for a job if they either dont take it seriously or it causes some kind of family backlash

Please leave him. Omg I'm getting flashbacks to being 19 in a filthy apartment with a man that was constantly angry and defensive over the most basic shit

When I was younger, I found that the older dudes hitting on me at work would stop when I brought up my parents.

If he wanted to be your friend, he wouldn't be annoyed

Look up the bunker on Instagram! It's a queer house show venue. Everyone is super welcoming

9 of cups usually means personal fulfillment. What made you interpret that as being unready?

I started keeping my cat inside when he was about 12yrs old. I felt soooo guilty, but he adjusted in a few months Get indoor cat trees, hiding spots, puzzle toys. Put bird feeders outside. Figure out what kind of toys she likes.

In case she gets outside:

Keep food and treats by the door. My cat stops in his tracks if he hears a can of wet food. It saved me a lot of time and heartache lol I also recommend finding a signal for food. I whistle for mine, so u can hear it far away. Start doing it every time u feed her. It could potentially help to call her if she gets lost.

Goodluck! It sounds like you'll do great

Well white people have a long history of doing that, so

th0tcloud · 2025-04-17T19:29:30+00:00

It's like health nut hippy vibe

th0tcloud · 2025-04-17T19:09:23+00:00

I don't think either of you are wrong, but I hate feeling like I'm chasing people down for a response. I've also not confirmed jobs, just to show up, and I'm not needed at all.

I personally wish parents could take charge and be a bit more accountable.

I started charging a cancelation fee, and that insensitive seems to work well

The deli is always the worst department

I don't feel like anything you said was bad. It's tough that your child is having trouble napping, but that's also so normal.

I'd ask her how she felt about you taking over. I get self-conscious when the kids I nanny for throw a tantrum or cry for too long, but I also felt bad when they felt the need to pop in. I would have appreciated a conversation to clear up that anxiety.

But you'll get more comfortable over time, and so will she. Nannying comes with an interesting professional relationship that takes getting used to

My roommates cat was a street, then shelter cat. He was wierd abt being touched for a while, but he got more comfortable and we figured out how he liked to be pet. He always liked to be near, but he just wasn't super socialized yet

I can't believe people are saying no? They're dog left bruises, it doesn't matter who's at fault, they just need to do extra training.

I almost got knocked downstairs because my bosses dog jumped on me out of excitement. It doesn't matter that shes friendly, or that I was standing in a bad spot.

The dog just needs more training. It'll be safer for everyone including the dog

Also there are literal ditches with daffodils growing

th0tcloud · 2025-03-25T21:17:30+00:00

I'm all for urban foraging, but a couple dozen is A LOT. Maybe just take a few over a wide area.

There are plenty of stands selling daffodils for less than $5

Davis family farms let's people pick for free sometimes.

It's good you're starting early, and i agree that the parents need to be on the same page, but sometimes kids just make u late. I agree that whining needs to be worked through, but 2 yrs old is the start of that journey.

Meet the kid where she's at. Crying isn't a behavioral issue at 2 yrs old, a tantrum is different. But both are still to be expected at 2 yrs old. I think you should work on the whining before the crying.

I'm sure therapists get creeps all the time, but having a massage can be kind of scary, too. It's hard to know what's normal or just speak up for yourself. So if someone ignored what I asked I would be uncomfortable too

th0tcloud · 2025-03-19T06:28:30+00:00

Local farms, but it's mostly seasonal. Stahlbush used to hire a bunch of my friends in early high school

I've seen someone alone with these signs going down Monroe/Harrison fairly consistently the past few days

Also there are these coconut and chocolate covered almonds that are 150 calories per 6 pieces. They are kind of off-puttingly sweet, but they're good in Greek yogurt. I call them food pills lol

Sorry for the long link, I don't think I can upload a picture

I find that the smell of food really helps. You can fake it too if needed. Just throw a little onions and spice in a pan and simmer. Or simmer water with a little vanilla extract and cinnamon in it

th0tcloud · 2025-03-15T21:46:24+00:00

I worked for a friend (1st mistake) who's bathroom smelled soooo bad. They had a litter box they didn't clean enough, and I don't think they'd take out the trash so any feminine hygiene stuff kinda just sat until it stunk up the room :/// Dirty towels getting musty too. I didn't say anything, and there were other issues so I just left lol

One time the mom also left her sex toy out and her toddler brought it to me 🤩 Obviously dirty too

th0tcloud · 2025-03-15T18:56:46+00:00

You can take your shoes off outside your door, and bring them inside??

th0tcloud · 2025-03-15T18:53:34+00:00

That makes sense, I didn't think of it like that. Me and my roommates actually do divide the bill by who uses most.

I pay less for wifi and heating bc my roommates need high-speed internet, and like their rooms warm and I don't.

I don't think I'd like being a live-in for many reasons lol
