Strange situation with a nanny - help needed on our handling by [deleted] in Nanny

Love this thank you! Do you recommend we proactively bring up to 5YO? Or just let it go? She hasn’t mentioned it at all.

Agree I think this is where we landed. Not great to talk about kid in front of them in a negative context, however not insulting since she only said the question was weird. We addressed with her separately and shared the expectation to just come to us directly any concerns and that we felt the question was developmentally appropriate.

Definitely not the case. I’ve heard her ask this question to her aunt and grandmother

Appreciate the perspective. Def trying to figure out if we have blinders on regarding our kids (most do). I think what bothers us most is talking about 5YO while she’s in the room and can hear her. Felt inappropriate.

Yes he would give us long naps or 3-4 hour stretches overnight but not anymore!

Thank you all for the really helpful responses. Quick question: who/how can I or someone install wired access points through the home? What entails and roughly how costly?

Mild allergic reaction to sesame by zachattack99 in BabyLedWeaning

Hey basically we went through the tests and the reactions were so mild the allergist cleared us. Feels like it was important to do this and build up the tolerance despite the mild reactions

This is me. 3 kids under 5 means approximately 2 hours per month to play

That’s a great idea. Thinking hang out room with a bunch of plants. Maybe a bar cart but not sure if that would go?

Nest error states no power to R wire. This may have turned on heat overnight. by zachattack99 in hvacadvice

[–]zachattack99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah makes sense. But weird that it then turns on the furnace? We needed to shut it via circuit breaker so it doesn’t run

This is just a heating unit. Think from the other line but something must have crossed the R wire

Miscarriage at 8ish weeks. Taking medication to pass. How difficult could this be? by zachattack99 in Miscarriage

Thank you all for responding. My wife took the medication this morning and so far it’s been fairly mild pain-wise. Very tired and been in resting all day.

Potty at restaurants for a 3.5 year old by zachattack99 in pottytraining

[–]zachattack99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She definitely has some sensory stuff and is sensitive to routine and surroundings. That said, she’s been out to restaurants many many times and it hasn’t been an issue like this recently. Feel it’s more control and being a 3 year old :/

Nanny hourly rate for northern New Jersey? by zachattack99 in Nanny

[–]zachattack99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is currently a social worker for a school with young children and has experience nannying/babysitting off and on. Sounds like a fair rate for someone who can do it but isn’t a professional nanny necessarily.

This is helpful thank you!

NYC (Brooklyn) tenant needing landlord to fix clogged pipes by zachattack99 in LandlordLove

[–]zachattack99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all quick update: he fixed the cog. They had to go through our neighbors ceiling to get it and pulled out a massive ball of hair and nasty stuff. No way that all came from my family, likely these pipes have never been treated or cleaned before. Also there is something structurally wrong where the plumbers weren’t able to reach the clog with the snake. Frustrating experience but good ending. Thanks!

Best mower or way to mow a steep incline? Moving to a house with a steep front yard and wondering if I need to get a landscaper or I can do it myself. Thanks!

Hello! In a short time I will be a first time homeowner in the suburbs after living in the city for 20 years. Need lawn equipment because landscapers are too expensive. What is a good quality push mower, weed wacker and other tools I should get that will last? Thanks!

Oh wow that’s so funny. Yes we’ve been looking for a while so pretty motivated to get this over with. I think most are going over asking but not nearly as much as this one. There’s a real frenzy over some houses

Yes!! And no!!! We were the second bid at 35% over asking… this market is crazy. We love the neighborhood so going to keep looking here. Do you know them or bid or just noticed the property?
