A sh*t ton. I had a nanny asking $32/hr to care for a 9yo. All they needed to do was pick up from camp, make sure the kid had a snack, unloaded the dishwasher, and otherwise stayed out of my hair from noon-3 while I worked in my bedroom. On top of that, they wanted daily pay. I understand they're providing a valuable service, but that's bananas. Honestly, if you have a young kiddo, I'd just send to daycare. Prob cheaper and your kiddo will get the benefit of socializing w other kiddos and get used to being cared for by people other than you

We brought in our cousin from Nigeria and she's a full time many for us in exchange for a place for her to stay while she studies. If you have family overseas, I'd go with that option cause they're pretty expensive otherwise

Expensive as hell , my friend had one for both her girls . She wanted 40-60 hr, insurance, PTO and Holidays off . They agreed and then Nanny started breaking all rules and getting let go .


Limited quality of nanny’s in the area from what I understood form her . Au pair may be a better suggestion .

I have a friend who told me he sought treatment for alcohol abuse 6 mo ago. We talk a lot and I try not to judge or ask too many questions about his progress, just wanting to be a supportive friend who doesn’t pressure him. Today I brought him to a very laid back picnic… there was drinking but plenty of non-alcoholic alternatives, and it was a very chill group. Toward the end of the day I noticed him drink something. Should I have confronted and stopped him? Should I bring it up now? Guilty now

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

I put a lot of efforts making friends and always try to be with my friends whenever they need. But, I didn’t always get invited to the party while guys they complained a lot and they hate…those guys are often invited. Maybe attraction is a part of problem in making friendship? Because the guy I hang out have big preference with certain race and he wants to be friend with them more than me. And it seems to insult me sometimes…but let’s be positive… maybe culture, language and other? I’m sad tho.

My base location does not have a hot seat.

Should this not be the focus from HR side to get a seat allocated rather than pushing employees to report to a random office that have a seat.?

And On top of that we have to take care of our own commute even when we are in shifts.

Why is this unprofessional and unethical behaviour?
Why is an employee responsible for everything which the HR and PMO is supposed to do??

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
