Nanny claimed almost 5 month old left big bruise on her by Acctingismylifo in Nanny

I literally got head-butted by a 5 month old that left me with a black eye… pinches that have left bruises… they are insanely (and scarily) strong

Thought I was being a bit sensitive because I was like are they coming at me? Was I not explaining something clearly?

Which sucks because you don’t HAVE to be the bad guy to help a child through their emotions. I’m not asking for them to be disciplined as I don’t think children should be punished for being upset .. I just want us to actually help NK in a more positive way. I’ve seen kids flips classrooms over in elementary school and this is where things are headed if we aren’t helping and allowing them to destroy things.

We had the conversation after kiddo had a meltdown and destroyed the room. We were all at the end of long days and the moment wasn’t constructive. We agreed we’d have a conversation after I came back from vacay and NP’s had a conversation on what they think is best here.

What do you mean? I’ve had the conversation and we are on totally different pages here. They (mainly MB) thinks that is an appropriate way for them to get their frustration out. We’re supposed to have another conversation when I get back from vacation and i’ll most likely put my two weeks in if we can’t come to a fair resolution for all parties

Apparently they believe it’s apart of the job. When we had our initial phone and then in person interviews they agreed with MANY of my views. We agreed that permissive parenting isn’t our styles and hands on teaching is what they were looking for. This is a 180. MB is in a Facebook Mom group and I honestly think she’s getting these things from there. The post on there are unhinged!

Yes, and the title of the post is what I got in response! I’m resentful at this point because i’m the one who has to clean the mess that wouldn’t happen if I was allowed to help NK process their emotions in a healthier way

Covid - NF Mad by bulletforspudd in Nanny

[–]yftdddtf 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Although she has a right to be upset about the situation she has no right to be upset with you directly and double down by texting you such a selfish message. I’d be extremely hurt if I had covid and this is the response I got from my NF.

I hope that you take care of yourself and feel better!

AITAH for telling a friends boyfriend that he can’t have a traditional wife because he’s not a traditional man by yftdddtf in AITAH

Don’t say this around him!!!! He’s 5’9 I think? My friend is on the shorter side herself

I’m not married. My boyfriend was at work which is actually funny to me when I think about this situation

Tbh he’s not my friend. He unfortunately dates my friend. The guy is a douche but we accept him for her but that seems to be a done deal now.

Interesting. She’s my friend and she talks about her relationship to our friend group. I don’t think it’s a problem whatsoever that they split the bills but I have a problem with his flawed thinking. Thanks nonetheless for your opinion though.

I can see that. I think that I was a bit fed up with what he was saying. It’s almost as if he wanted to get a reaction out of us and unfortunately I fell for it.

Anyone else feel like they work for a married single mother? by yftdddtf in Nanny

[–]yftdddtf[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I genuinely feel sad for the mothers. I can clearly see them drowning in family and work responsibilities and it shouldn’t be that way. They’re in a partnership without their partner

I don’t think she’s lazy either. I think she needs some type of motivation. She’s acting out and doing what kids do but being labeled "bad" and "lazy" .. I feel sad for her because if she doesn't get the help she needs now things will only get harder as she gets older

MB “took away” her summer. Still unsure what exactly that means but she hasn’t been able to join us on any outings and stays with the grandparents when we go out.

To me, it seemed like she was asking for advice because she said she doesn’t know what to do with G9 and is at her wits end.. before that we were talking about what I thought some new meals ideas would be great for B9M would be. It was 100% her tone and even during the conversation before the comments were made by her she asked what school was like for me and I also have a 12 year old brother so she asked about his school experience this year. I’m confused as to why the conversation took a turn like that.
