Anyone else deal with the college age nanny who stares at her phone too much and refuses to clean up after the kids when she leaves for $23/hr? Or am I becoming too critical in my old age?

We have a no phone policy in our agreement. Would give a warning and replace if it happens again. We had to replace our first nanny for this reason but we’ve since had high school and college aged babysitters/nanny’s that are super engaged.

Treat it like a business. It’s difficult because it’s so easy to form a personal relationship since they’re with your kid.

This is why I only hire family. I have been fortunate enough to have folks in Africa who were willing to come and help with raising my kids. Grandmas and aunties are the only nannys I trust!

You are not being too critical at all! She is not being paid to be on her phone

OMG Yes! I have to repeatedly tell her to do her job and it’s frustrating. I don’t even report her thinking that she is an old lady but like come on at least show some effort.

I been thinking about buying a 3bed and 3bath house or a condo. I haven’t had much luck in finding one so I started thinking about 4 bed and 3bath. I am single and I don’t have any plans to marry or have a partner staying with me. Is there anyone who’s single living in a 3 or 4 bed house by yourself ? Please share your experiences from all aspects. The only thing that makes me think weird is, it’s too much space for one person ☹️

Every night for like the past month I’ve been getting incredibly emotional about adulthood. I miss the lack of responsibility, the simplicity of life, friends were always around, and less pressure to be successful.

I’m 3 years out of college now so it’s not like I just started doing this stuff, but I am feeling the exact same feeling as I did when I first started work and just wanted to be back in college. I know I just need to grow up and accept that’s how life is but it’s incredibly upsetting

How can I get passed cynicism?

Having struggled with visa for the past ~6 years, I have become extremely cynical. I don’t trust real friendships anymore because friends turned into competitors or got too burdened to maintain the friendships.
I feel somewhat disgusted when my coworkers or managers tried to “build rapport” with me.
I understand the value of doing so, but my repulsion inevitably showed through my apparent desire to end small talks as soon as possible.
