This sounds insane hear me out

Hi guys! I’m a full time nanny. Job details don’t matter but this sitch does : A few months ago my cousin came to stay at my home (uninvited) for our grandfathers funeral and threatened my mother, grandmother, sister, and I. He is an addict. Just yesterday, he returned for a 4th of July cookout with a knife (again) and they no longer feel safe for me to be there. I live there alone, & I’m pregnant. We’ve called the police and they said since he’s family to just disperse for the night, but this is the 2nd time. I don’t think im
permanently relocating but he’s still in the surrounding area so I need to move in or stay with my sister for a little bit. The police are not helping. What the hell do I tell my NF? They know about the prior situation as we’re casual but I’ve never called out this late for such an amount of time. Someone please help?? I’m expecting that I could lose my job but they’re understanding, but idc about my job atp when this person keeps showing up😭 I need help writing a message!! My sisters home & my job are 3 hours away from one another

Callie Torres

I’m only on season 5, but is it ever explained how Calliope has no money without her parents? When she cuts off her father due to her lesbian relationship (thus losing access to her trust fund) she tells Yang she doesn’t have enough money for rent, & makes jokes about it with Sloan. To my knowledge, she’s a senior resident, so how does she not have any money at all without her trust fund? Even in earlier seasons when stays at that expensive hotel & eventually moves in with George, why has she never had her own apartment? How can Cristina cover her half of rent as a 1st year resident, when she’s scraping by as a senior? Is there something I missed?
Edit : ALSO WHEN SHE WAS LIVING IN THE HOSPITAL???

Pregnancy diet struggles

Hi everyone! I got diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS March of 2025. I made some lifestyle changes including heavy weight lifting, pole dancing, & eating intuitively & being mostly sugar free (added sugars, not natural fruit sugars). Since becoming pregnant in April of this year it’s been so hard to maintain my diet! I was never to strict on cutting out any food group specifically except sugar, but even now being 12 weeks its so hard to cook at home due to the smells of food & some food aversions. Luckily didn’t have morning sickness or nausea, and it’s been a very uneventful pregnancy, but eating has been difficult. This last week I’ve been having fainting spells & the only thing that helps is eating some candy or sugary drink. I hate this because I really don’t like that stuff. Prior to getting pregnant I rarely ate fast food but now all my baby wants is Chick Fil A & Wendys. The thought of cooking meat often makes me dry heave so I avoid it. With entering my 2nd trimester it’s getting better but I’ve lost some weight which my midwife said was normal & my baby is healthy but I wish I could go back to my old eating schedule. Did anyone else have this issue? If so how did you combat it? Did it improve with time? Thanks!

Unappreciated at work & iPad for a 2 year old?

Up until now, I’ve really loved my job with my current family. I’ve had a few issues here & there with screen time, but it’s never effected NK’s behavior (2 years old). Now, when I come into work he tantrums because he associates me with no TV & they recently got him an iPad. I just had a conversation with them about how scientifically proven screens aren’t great for children his age & they stated that they didn’t know & will be lessing the screen time…well evidently not since now he has unsupervised access to an iPad. I’ve always been a no screen time nanny, kids listen better & learn better without them. Now we have so many tantrums, whining fits, and overall bad behavior because of this increase with screens. I feel as all of my effort towards teaching him is credited to Ms.Rachel or some other youtuber when I’ve been teaching him since he was a few months old! I put in a lot of effort, & now I feel disconnected from this job due to that. I had him potty trained, drinking water, & eating his meals really well & they come in & dont continue the training schedule, give him sooo much sugary stuff, & let him play when he eats (which leads to him just not eating). Among other things, I do a lot for it to not be recognized. I dread coming to work every single day & can’t wait to go home. I have unlimited time off & have been taking off a lot just to not have to deal with these tantrums & other behavior evidently induced by the increase of screen time. I’ve been considering leaving for a few weeks now due to the parents evident lack of care, but I really love NK & don’t have another job lined up yet. I get paid very well for my area, but still based on my experience & stats not enough for more than 1 child. The parents are really nice, but at the end of the day they’re still my employers. I feel unappreciated & burned out thats the sole reason I’m planning my leave, but I’m interested in what you guys would do, & when I do leave, how do I approach this? What time frame do I give them to find a new nanny?
