Hey everyone, kinda just wanting some diff viewpoints on this topic in general without going indepth about my specific situation but...

How do you feel about kids being scruffy and/dirty after a day with the nanny (babysitter)? Now I dont mean dirty nappies or food all over their faces etc, I specifically mean dirt scuffs on their clothes from playing outside, or pen marks or bits of paint on their skin that might have been missed when wetwiping Scruffy hair that's fallen out from running around or being in the wind etc.

To repeat - I do NOT mean dirty nappies. Children are well loved and looked after.... they just look a bit... wild child 😅

EDIT: Plot twist - I'm the nanny 😅 just kind of needed some reassurance because I agree with the majority of comments on here. The mother is not a clean freak as such, but works a lot/comes across very overwhelmed in general (It's hard to explain), and has made enough little comments here and there about the kids not being able to do whatever activity because it will make too much of a mess (when they are under her care), or just subtle comments about their hair being wild or them having dirt on them etc when Ive been with them. It's making me feel like I need to prioritise their appearance/keeping their clothes clean even more. She's only ever said something directly to me about it once, because I grabbed the wrong pair of shoes by accident for one of the kids to wear outside and they got muddy (we usually wear their old shoes but they are all the same colors so it can be hard to tell). Kids arent covered in filth or anything, they would only have a few scuffs of dirt on their pants because tbh I already try to avoid making a mess, but I definitely find myself restricting play outdoors even more to prevent the kids getting dirty at all and risk annoying the mother. And their hair falls out of ponytails every 2 seconds so I prioritise keeping it just out of their face during their day vs nicely tied back.

I appreciate all your inputs!

Okay so I just finished watching the show and I have some thoughts.

1. Did I miss something, or was the only time we saw Hal and Maggie actually hookup when he was taken over by the bug? But he was also actively hooking up with Karen in the forest as well which he wouldve realised wasnt a dream not long after also?? None of this ever got addressed I swear

2. Of all the hairstyles, why did they think giving Maggie perfect styled curls was the right option for the context? Waves from braids wouldve been more believable, but man the perfect barrel curls threw me off

3. I really just wanna know how bad these people stink. Like I dont know that we ever saw them wash a pair of undies throughout the entire show.

4. I would never survive an apocolypse because do these people all have perfect vision or what?? I guess the people that wear glasses all just died out early or something? The only one I can remember with glasses was Dr Kadar

Okay so Ive been trialling gelato for the past month or so as my first attempt for selling POD of my art prints. Long story short, I've had about 10 orders in that time and I'm currently processing my 2nd refund from that, because the posters have arrived beaten up and damaged. In both cases the customers have told me that the prints are just in normal envelope style packaging with ZERO protection, so its no wonder they're damaged??? Note that this is referring to US customers (and both in New York if it matters), and that I live internationally so have never been able to test the quality myself.

So anyway.... im over it and I need to switch print providers. Who do I go to now? It seems every company has some sort of major downfall and Im just feeling kinda bummed out about it all. Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone, hard to find the words for this so bear with me. Basically, I'm at a crossroads right now in life and I dont know what to do. Some perspective could do me good. Please be kind.

Option 1: Stay the path.

This means continue to study for the next 1.5yrs with 2 degrees. I'm currently hating this degree, and have zero interest in pursuing this career once I'm done with it (but degree could come in handy). This also means staying in a really non-ideal living situatuon (sucky - not unsafe), but saving money, and pursuing my side hustle on a part time basis (doesnt bring in much money atm but I want to work on that - it brings me quite a lot of joy). I would also like to use this time to address some health issues I have been putting off. Biggest downside with this option is that this is taking a serious toll on my mental health. Im living in a city that I hate, have no friends in (with limited options due to the size of the city), and I am SO done with studying. I hate it so much, and I especially hate that it feels like I am wasting the last of my "youth" isolated and miserable instead of doing fun things. My only motivation for this path is that I know I need to finish my studies, and that this is key in being able to move abroad again (makes it easier to get work visas). I also need the time to save, and I know that I should address these health problems while in my home country so I can benefit from the health cover here.

Option 2: Leave while I'm still young.

That sounds dramatic but trust that it makes more sense in my head. Basically this would be packing up and leaving sooner rather than later. Dropping my studies to the minimum part time load (online) so that I can still work toward that goal over the next like 4 yrs (bear in mind Ive been studying for longer than a traditional degree already at this point - Im over it lmao). I dont know exactly what I would do or where I would go, but Ive made this move before so am comfortable that I would find a way. My mental health would be better, but it would be giving up my goal to graduate before I hit a certain age, and I'm worried I wont be able to handle study during this whole process/ that finances will be difficult/that I would still have to come back to my home country for the last semester of my study anyway (certain requirement). But I also know that I have medical conditions that are likely going to deteriorate more as the years go on (nothing super dramatic, but life is certainly not going to get any easier), and I cant help but think I need to go now while Im still at a point with my health that I actually can. Side note, this path would likely involve dismissing those other health issues for now.

Option 3 (but not really an option): Drop out.

Just put a pause on the studies and focus on living and hope that this gives me the motivation to come back to it later in life. Cons of this is that getting work visas overseas become trickier because I would have no bachelor degree. If I never returned to study I would also be forfeiting my second degree which I have technically completed but havent graduated yet (dont care to explain - but trust this is fact). I hate my studies with a passion right now but I know that this would be a waste of so much of my hard work and would really impact my future possibilities, so not really an option - more so listing for context so people dont blindly comment to just drop out.
