You know what I can’t stand? When Mom’s at the playground look at me like I have 6 heads for going at the pace of the toddler I nanny for. She has severe social anxiety like if someone is at the park she will not be playing so we sometimes get to the park, walk around the trail and look at the playground and she says “i don’t think so, not today” so we turn around and head for the car after doing another lap on the trail. Like don’t look at me like I’m weird for coming to the playground for 3 minutes, sometimes it’s all she can do and that’s fine don’t think for a minute that just because these kids aren’t mine that I won’t fight you over them😂🙈 okay sorry rant over.

If I asked you how old this child is, how old to you think they are and what do you think this word is?

Today I put my foot down. Do I need a job? Yes. Do I need a job where I'm paid less than half of minimum wage to be a housewife 24hrs/day, 5 days/week? From a family who screwed me over earlier this year by offering me a full-time job, then canceling on me two days before I start? Nope.

Replace (e-mails I have to respond to) with (children to entertain and care for) 🙃🙃🙃 horrifying. Red rising more like dread rising ✊🏽

I could have lived in peace (stayed warm in my bed) but my enemies (job that pays my bills) brought me war (e-mails i have to respond to)

Bingyuan modern ABO AU where Shen Yuan tutors sweet white lotus Luo Binghe and dutifully sends him off to university all prepped and ready to take the world by storm, and then three years later Omega Binghe shows up on his doorstep with a baby, all washed out with his prospects ruined and the father in the wind.

Beta Shen Yuan, furious, is determined to look after Luo Binghe and his adorable baby whilst tracking down the feckless Alpha involved and then... castrating him? Forcing him to step up? One of the two at least!

Only it turns out:

-Baby isn't actually Luo Binghe's

-Luo Binghe isn't an Omega

-Binghe also didn't wash out and in fact just came into a massive inheritance

He didn't even know Shen Yuan was living at the apartment he went to, he was bringing the baby to Shen Jiu in order to blackmail him. The baby is SJ's and Omega Yue Qingyuan's, and had been quietly sent away to avoid scandal. As the next phase of Luo Binghe's hundred-step plan to marrying Shen Laoshi, cuddling the baby in a vaguely sinister fashion while making thinly-veiled threats was vital to blocking Shen Jiu's inevitable attempts to interfere with Binghe's pursuit of his younger brother.

But then Shen Yuan opened the door and promptly drew all the wrong conclusions, and now Binghe is rethinking his entire strategy, furiously googling Alpha-to-Omega transition options and making Mobei Jun make Shang Qinghua find out how to fake a birth certificate for a stolen baby.

I had another run in with the mean park moms today and this little boy was running around the mulched playground barefoot and one of the toddlers I nanny for said “why is he doing that?�� And I look at the little boy’s mom then back at her and before I could stop myself I said “I’m not sure. We don’t play at the playground barefoot it’s tacky and unsafe.” So naturally she glared at me but I stand by my statement. It’s unsafe to play barefoot…the tacky part I didn’t need to say but I was in my feelings🙈 but needless to say they won’t be giving me or my little girls rude looks anymore they’ll simply be avoiding us and that’s even better.😂💖

Me after I said it was tacky and unsafe to be barefoot:

Do you remember your mother’s face?

Marbles stares into the distance, trying to recall everything she can from when she was very, very young. The blue slugcat nods, her eyes betray a hint of sadness.

"I do... I see her in my mind. It's more of a feeling rather than an image. I think of all the fun adventures outside the shelter we lived in, and mom is always there, watching over. My brother is there too. I am small, and I am safe..."

Marbles' ears perk up.

"Oh, that's funny, I also remember something else... how bored I was in the shelter during the rain. There was little to do once we all scurred inside. I would play with my sibling, or draw in the dirt, or inspect little trinkets I gathered outside. I remember mom going to sleep almost immediately, out like a light. She slept a lot. Because of that, me and my brother couldn't frolic and make too much noise."

She scratches her cheek, her eyes still unfocused, staring at something far away.

"Huh... mom must have been exhausted. Funny how it makes sense now."

one thing i love about being a nanny is that sometimes the family i work for leaves the country for two weeks without me, so i get a paid vacation that doesn’t come out of my pto!!!

and then they get older and ask things like “hey Mack, do girls fart?” and you have to PHYSICALLY restrain yourself from laughing in an 11 year olds face.

Spending time with kids always reminds me how much I love the way they play. I’ll be like “hey kid look, this little bug is called an isopod it’s related to crabs and it eats dead plants” and they’ll immediately respond with something like “cool let’s play isopods we have to collect dead leaves as fast as we can and if we don’t get enough we die of starvation and have a bug funeral”

What an amazing way to process new information or explore an idea! It’s important to remember these kinds of games are not random or pointless; playing is how kids learn.

Being a parent/nanny/witch/fairy is so weird. I've got alarms for both Shabot (for two of my Jewish kiddos) and church (for my adopted teen). Alarms for my own worship? That's on more of an "Ok, Loki, I get it. I've been neglecting you. Now, if I take some cinnamon to the alter, will you please bring back the new roll of green dog bags?" sort of schedule.

Okay but whose fault is that really? Steve for opening the door in an apron or the kids coming to his house unannounced?

Anytime Max and P are seen together in any capacity, the crazies on here and Twitter come out of whatever hole they live and I just need to understand how you see him simply being a loving figure to her, and go nuts
