We were leaving the park and he was holding my hand when he tripped and fell. I instinctually held on and ever since he's been in pain and not using that arm. He's almost 2. I called his mom and she came home to take him to the doctor. I feel like she's mad at me and I feel awful about the whole situation. I don't think I yanked him up or anything, I was just trying to keep him from falling. I guess we'll know soon if that's really what happened. Has this happened to anyone else or am I actually just bad at my job

Hi guys, I just finished my first ever run-through of HIMYM and I just have to talk to people about Robin. I hated her. I truly despised her. She just got worse and worse and worse from the moment her and Ted fought for the first time until the very end. She was incredibly selfish and childish with how she handled men, but she was given chance after chance completely undeserved. She's rude to women and she's almost manipulative to men. Hates Patrice for being a happy woman, and only wants men when they don't want her. I hate that she gets Ted in the end after being a terrible person for years. She also had zero character development. She was the same bad person at the end that she was in the beginning. I wanted to like her and I tried for so long but eventually I just accepted that she is so incredibly unlikable and I truly think she got away with it because she was hot. Thank you for listening to my rant, I had to get this out.

I'm currently a nanny, and I love it, but the family may no longer need me soon, and I'm wondering if it's possible to make what I do now or more in another field. I'll be 21 in a couple months, I have experience in childcare, food, and EMS primarily. I do not have a degree and am currently in beauty school, so I'm just looking for something to hold me over until I graduate. I could nanny, but maybe there would be something else I would like better? Any suggestions? Gotta be at least $22/hour or so

I'm a 20yo nanny in the Austin area for a mom who works from home. This is my first full-time nanny job. I've been babysitting for many years, like a lot of girls do, but about 7 months ago a took a full-time gig. I charged her $22/hr for the care of her 15-month-old and some light housework. I would cook simple food, like ground meat and rice, put his laundry away, take him out to different parks, and generally keep the house clean, which includes wiping down counters and doing the dishes. All of this I've had zero issue with, as my job as a nanny entails more responsibility than just a babysitter.

Then she had her baby, and the mutual agreement was that after maternity leave, I would care for both kids most of the time. I wasn't going to ask for a raise until I was well-adjusted to the baby's needs, and was performing my job adequately. The problem is, since going back to work, she has been giving me more and more household tasks. This isn't a problem, but I am doing a lot more work. I know I'm already blessed with $22/hr, but I'm wondering if it's reasonable to ask for an increase.

On top of the added work, which has me breaking a sweat some days, she's not very clean. She's always left messes all over the kitchen and sometimes elsewhere. And it's not like a pile of crumbs, it's food that was spilled, and instead of taking 10 seconds to wipe it up, she lets it dry and harden on the counter or in the microwave or in the oven. It becomes a mess that is so difficult to clean up, when it could have been a single paper towel. And it's me cleaning it up. Sometimes it feels like she leaves these things because she knows I'm coming that day or am already there.

So on top of the pay question, is there a way to respectfully ask her to clean up her messes? I'm more than okay with doing housework, but sometimes I feel more like a maid than her nanny. Maybe this is normal? I would love some thoughts.

Hi all!

My soon-to-be husband and I are currently booked at the Grand Riviera for our honeymoon in October. I was wondering if there is much of a difference between the Riviera side and Sunset side? I know Riviera is supposed to be more family-oriented, and the Sunset side has the adults-only area, but is that the only difference? We don't mind kids at all, in fact we love them, but we also want a fun, romantic vacation. It's also his first time out of the country, so I want to make it as magical as we can afford. We're young and can't afford some fancy resort, but we like to have fun anyways and will be doing some excursions (recommendations welcome).

Anyways, just wondering if it matters which side you stay on. Thanks!

Edit: we are currently booked for a Platinum Suite. I'm also wondering if there are swim-up bars there lol

I really want a galaxy wedding. Blue, pink, purple, and white. Stars and space. Desserts with galaxies airbrushed onto them. I even have the coolest cake topper. I'm really into space and astronaut art and the feeling it gives me. The dilemma is what if the pictures don't look beautiful. My mother is more traditional and is trying to like the idea but clearly wishes I would go with the original theme, cherry blossom, which also better fits my color palette. I have red hair, and what if it doesn't match. I suppose I could try black hair. But then again, at the end of the day, it's MY WEDDING, and it's supposed to be magical. It's not supposed to be all about the pictures. So I don't know. I keep going back and forth. Does anyone have any decor ideas or general advice? I'm not wanting the blue sky with gold stars, I'm talking galaxy. How can I make it beautiful and classy enough for the "more adult" members of my family, without compromising the fun of it all being space themed?
