I afford my animals just fine. 2 of my dogs are family dogs and my parents pay for them. One of the German shepherds is my fiance's and he pays for her. My fiancé does work but he doesn't make a whole lot. He does make more than me tho. Before this job I was actively searching for 2 years. I...

I do not have a contract. I am making it--barely. I live with my parents which helps. I spend $260 per month on bills, and $140 on gas each month, leaving me with around $120 for my pets and other things I need/want. When I start the other job in hopefully 6 months or less, I will be making...

True. I didn't think about that. I should have tho since my last paycheck from them bounced. Their priorities definitely aren't where they need to be if they place more importance on luxuries for themselves and not paying the nanny well and providing adequate food for their child. And it...

I don't want to stoop to her level by involving the kiddo. I actually did something similar a month ago tho. When I first found out about the job offer I mentioned it to the dad since at that time I was going to be starting to work for her within 8 weeks. It blew up in my face. The mom was being...

It is one of my duties to pick him up from school. The dad actually texted me 2 days ago saying to take the kiddo out to eat after preschool because there wasn't anything for him to eat for lunch and he would pay me that night, but I didn't have any cash on me so I had to take him straight home...

I know that if I ask for more pay I will get fired. Just based on comments I have heard from the dad. He has even told me that if it were up to him he would pay me more. But it's up to her and she doesn't like me so there is no chance of me getting more pay. I can't quit, as much as I want to...

It is hard to find work where I live. I have extensive professional experience in child care and even with that and letters of recommendations from previous employers it's still hard for me to find work. I got this job on Craigslist. I have applied for retail, no luck. The lack of appropriate...

Ok. So. I am a nanny for a 5 year old boy. I've been watching him for 1 year and I love the little bugger to pieces. However, I cannot stand his mom. Her and I have never really clicked and we are never on the same page with anything. I know that I get paid to be on her page, but it's hard when...

She plays with the German shepherds all the time and we all go on walks together. They LOVE wrestling and playing tug of war with each other. Of the 2 indoor dogs, Maggie (my pug) hates other dogs and will literally try to kill any dog she can get to so we have the house split into 2. And then...

Glad to see we're all mature adults here and not a group of junior high boys. :roll: :P

Hahaha...no. :P I actually have 6 dogs. 3 German shepherds, Maisie, a pug, and a chihuahua/Pomeranian mix (the pug and chi-Pom are indoor dogs). Here are a few pics of my happy, sassy, cutie patootie Maisie hound. :D "Now you see here, Mom, it's like this..."

Well we are setting up two options for her. She will have access to the garage which will have a heater in it as well as a dog bed, blankets, etc. I am also going to attach a second kennel to her current one. This one will be 100% waterproof, raised up about a foot off the ground, completely...

Aww thanks :D

I'm considering switching doctors. I've been reading up on causes of enlarged/fatty livers and it seems there can be several causes. I brought up the fact that I am gluten intolerant (undiagnosed celiac disease...my doctor can't do testing to prove it, but I have the symptoms) and that that can...

I see everyone's point. Thank you for the advice so far. My ultrasound is coming up in less than a month and my next doctors appointment is in a little over a month. I should have some answers then, and depending on what the verdict is, I will seriously think about my drinking habit. Here's the...
