I babysit M/W/F from 10:30-4:30 for a daily flat rate. Lately she's been asking if he could get dropped off at 8. I closed at work last night and didn't get home until 11. They show up to drop him off at 7:45 and rang the doorbell until it woke up DS. I'm so over this, I don't get paid enough to deal with it and by the time I get him early every day it's the equivalent of a whole other day unpaid.
@BayCamp sound so like you need to have a talk! If they want to drop off early, your rate will need to be adjusted. Don't let them take advantage of your kindness.
@BayCamp that's annoying! You should definitely let them know 10:30-4:30 is your daily flat rate but extra hours are more. You should absolutely be paid for the time you work! Are you going to keep babysitting after your baby is born?
I don't have a good one, just that I'm feeling really lazy today and don't particularly want to be at work. Mondays. Also I forgot my lunch so I have to buy #firstworldproblems
I really just want to quit altogether. I'm tired of being home bound 3 days a week, especially since summer is coming up. I'm just trying to get the nerve up to tell her. I've been watching him since he was 3m and it'll be a little sad, but I'm over how they treat me.
My fiance is working to pack and move things into storage since we'll be moving in like 2 weeks, and i'm not helping since I'm in the hospital with my son. Last night he came by to visit and was complaining about how exhausted he is - which I'm sure he totally is, but dude, I'M MAKING A HUMAN BEING OUT OF NOTHINGNESS, YOU DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF TIRED. And I'm doing it "sleeping" on a rock hard hospital couch while nurses come in every hour for my son, and also I'm still working FT while I'm down here. DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING TIRED. Just, know your audience, man.

Asked my husband to do 2 things yesterday before going to work. I was headed to church with DD. I asked him to vacuum and pick up dog poo (as that's the one job he said hed do). Come home. Dog poo is picked up but he just tossed it in the trash can, no bag. He did a sh*t job of vacuuming, not moving anything, using the cheapo vacuum and missing large chunks of dog hair . Then he says "ya, I moved YOUR stuff out of the way", thanks for moving our tax papers that keep getting knocked down. So I vacuumed the house, cleaned the bathrooms, cleaned the oven and kitchen, did 2 loads of laundry completely and cleaned up the basement and took out the recycling and trash. He promised to be the caring helpful husband during my pregnancy, something I've never had since I've always gone it alone. He's a liar.
I can't remember if I have mentioned this here but I have a sister currently squatting in my basement. She moved in to escape a ton of payday loan debt and it came out she was also using meth. DH and I made it extremely clear when she moved in that we had a zero tolerance policy regarding drug use. She went on a date last Wednesday and never came home. She showed up Saturday night obviously strung out. We made her leave. I spent most of yesterday stressed out because I received a million messages trying to guilt trip me into letting her come back home. Meanwhile my mother refuses to step in and help at all. I feel extremely guilty and know she will be bouncing from person to person most likely using. I know my house is the safest option for her and she was beginning to get her life in order. I just feel like she needs to know there are consequences to her actions. She is 30 years old FFS.
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent and I swear I am not usually full of this kind of drama.
@av2323 it seems to me like you're doing a great job. That's a really tough situation for you to be in and while you want to take care of and help your sister, you also need to do what's best for your family. Thankfully this is not a problem I have but if I did, I would absolutely kick out my sibling for doing drugs while staying in my home. Good for you.
Since I have been at my job, 1.5 years, I have had to move offices twice. NOW they are redoing the space and shoving us all into a small office together like freaking sardines. So I have to pack up my office, put most of my stuff in storage and share a small space with three other people. Mind you my job requires some level of confidentiality and many meetings. This is going to be awesome. Not to mention if nausea (already have periodically) and vomiting kick in any time soon that will be fun in a small space. Oh and my food will have to be stored two floors away. Sadness. Okay, I am done now.
@jess0211 ew that's annoying. At my old job (thank the good Lord I'm not there anymore) we'd move offices/cubes literally every three months. It was expensive and a huge waste of money, I'd rather them keep me where I was and give that money to me!
DH and I were invited by another couple friend to go see Logan a few weeks ago but there was a power issue at the theater so we got free movie passes instead. That couple friend has now invited a different couple to go see the movie and didn't invite us even though we are all friends...I have no desire to see Logan but would have gone for DH because he really wants to and now he's really sad and feels very left out. There really was no reason to not invite us since all three of us couples are close and hang out all the time!
I found out today that my nanny is quitting. I have a 14 month old who adores her. She's like family. We were going to tell her about baby #2 on her 1 year anniversary, which is the same day as my first doctors appointment. I'm upset anyway, but the pregnancy hormones are raging and I swing from mad to sobbing. Thanks for listening. I don't think I had a single rant the whole time I was pregnant last time...
I've had a cough for a few days and it's Yellow Dust season in Korea which is definitely not helping any. Yellow Dust is basically breathable particles that come in the air all the way from China along with all their pollution. It rained yesterday which made for a nasty walk home since it brings it all down to street level.
@krpp99 our first nanny quit when I was pregnant with my second and I sobbed so hard I couldn't talk while trying to tell my husband and he thought someone had died. So he was actually relieved when the news was that the nanny was quitting. . But we ultimately found a new nanny that was even better than the first and it worked out so well for us! I hope the same happens for you!
I hate tourists!!! ( says the girl who currently is a tourist) but seriously why does every big city in the world have big lines. Can't for once there be only 20 tourists allowed in a day day rather than 20000!!! Seriously, I hate lines!!!
This is me standing frustrated in this line for past 15 mins. Go home people it's my day to your!
This goes back to Monday. I fell asleep after dinner and it was DH's turn to do the dishes. Wake up this morning and the sink is full. I have conferences tonight and won't be home until 9:30. DH made sure to tell me he might have an overtime shift before his 24. Ugh!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@TallMomma29 thank you for sharing. We have lined up a few interviews today, and I'm feeling a little better. Luckily I told DH by text, so he didn't have to hear sobbing!
