That's annoying. I hope you get paid for the extra time they're gone. Like you get hourly vs. a flat rate? |

Ugh, I'm sorry Scarlet. It seems like he should be seeing his cardiologist for that, not going to the ER that many times (once, OK). That is a pretty high BP and pulse, if it's his resting pulse. Even when I'm having a panic attack, mine is usually more like 115 bpm (and my BP has always been relatively low--don't usually take that during an attack). |

Yes. I charged her $20.00 bucks an hour last night. Weather kids were asleep or not. I’m not playing around with these families anymore. They are all getting me annoyed right now. Especially the lady that said “They were going to go in a different direction” and then posted an ad on care.com. That’s your different direction? Okay. Whatever.

Going to see my parents in a couple hours (D did overnight there) after spending my last two sessions talking about stuff with my dad. Feeling a bit awkward about it.

You don’t have to stay. It’s fathers day. Use it as an excuse that you have family plans for H. Just say hi. Stay a few minutes, thank them for giving you a childfree night and skip right on out.

Thanks, Jersey. My mom keeps being like, "Since you're going to stay for a while because it's Father's Day, what time do you want to come?" It is possibly supposed to thunderstorm this afternoon, so that's an excuse to leave (as I have a 50-minute ride home). |

I’m going to visit my father for 5 minutes. I asked him earlier in the week if he wanted to go to dinner or something. His response “I’m not going anywhere” Okay. See ya. Saves me dinner money. My 2 sisters have their own families and their own plans for the day. So I will visit for 5 minutes and skip out. I don’t have a 50 minute drive though. Only 3. |

I think this (father stuff) is why I wanted to hear back from my T from that email. Because I'm feeling anxious about this. But I'm expecting too much from him. Though I don't think "Thanks for the update" or "Glad you're doing better" or "Glad session helped" is too much. I think really it's also that I was particularly vulnerable with him Friday, like I just really let all the emotions and stuff out. I know it's OK, that he's OK, that he cares. I just wanted to see his name in my inbox.

Thanks, Jersey. The other thing is, when my D is ready to leave, she generally wants to leave right then, or at least not hang out for an extra hour. She might be totally fine, but if she wants to leave after I'm there 20 minutes, I don't want to be fighting back against that for however long. Plus when D is upset or freaking out, my mom just tends to laugh about it, while my dad does nothing, so I'm left to deal with it all. Also, my dad won't care how long I'm there, I imagine--it will be my mom who cares. As this is more her thing, the seeing family on holidays. |

Can someone tell me what is considered suitable swim wear for an over weight woman? I hope I’m not framing my question rudely. I don’t know how else to ask . I haven’t owned swim wear in years. My current nanny family joined a swim club. I have to take the tots. I’m overweight and don’t want to be seen in a bathing suit. I’m very self conscious. Any bottoms that do not have at least a 7 inch inseam are unacceptable for me to wear. Maybe not others, but it’s unacceptable for ME to wear. Am I reaching for the stars that I want to find board shorts or quick dry shorts with at least a 7 inch inseam? When I take them I won’t be submerged in a pool. They will just use the waddle pool. The water will only come up to my calf-if that. And I don’t want to spend a lot of money as I will only need it for my remaining time with them. I won’t have a use for swim wear after that. I don’t care for beaches or pools as I don’t know how to swim.

That seems fine to me if you’re not swimming—tshirt and long shorts.
Would knowing how to swim/lifeguard certificate give you more ins as a nanny? |

I'm also a board short fan. Here you go. (I don't own this particular pair, but these are longer.)

Swim and can hold their own in the big pool. At the swim clubs most of the time if kids want to be in a big pool they have to pass the swim test to get an ankle band or they have to stay in the waddle pool. |
