my parents have never wanted to fork over the money necessary to not be considered neglectful of their pets but the alternative is him just pissing everywhere so it's kind of a no brainer?? also crazy that these massive wet spots appear on the carpet and no one notices or says anything?? disgusting

on top of that i get home and find a huge wet spot on my bed 😬gotta wash everything. unfortunately my dog is 12 and as far as labs go, he's very old and is probably losing control over his bladder. probably going to piss my father off by taking him to the vet but he's gotta go

dealing with the worst pain in the back of my neck/head and on top of that i'm babysitting, and on top of THAT i'm being repeatedly harassed through text by my former twin brother. can't wait to move away and never talk to my POS family

am i an asshole for taking away this kid's sticker thing because she wouldnt stop putting stickers on the wall

hamburger help me

she didn't even have time to go to the mall?? grey's anatomy writers pranking their viewers a decade after these episodes originally aired

at the mall. it cuts to the intro and then shows a collage of pictures of dr. yang and meredith in black and white. are they really going to kill her off just like that??? this woman has survived a bomb threat, an active shooter, a plane crash that left them stranded for a WEEK, and now this??? huh

still binge watching grey's anatomy and right now dr. yang is about to leave to go to germany. she's freaking out about what she has to do before her flight and she says 'i have to go to the mall and get a european charger!!' minutes later the hospital receives word that a massive explosion happened

how beautiful that we have parents and we get to watch them grow old, how frustrating it is for him to say 'huh?' every single sentence anyone says. 'are they there yet?' 'no' 'yes?' 'no!'

me: yeah i'm doing a video call interview tomorrow
my father: where at?
me: [town], it's a nanny position
my father: oh i thought it was a real job with benefits
??? i'm making more money than i've ever made before but it's not enough for anyone in my family i guess

i did emphasize 'remember, we only throw squishy things!' later he kept throwing these plastic balls in his ball pit everywhere--balls were hitting the wall, balls were landing in storage containers. i kept stealthily throwing them back in the ball pit but like. surely the parents allow that right?

on the window ledge on top of the couch to look out the window. there is no way to clearly tell me what every single rule is. but i also see most childhood play as important learning of the world around them. anyway i babysat today and we kept throwing a squishy porcupine around the house. am i bad

when it comes to early childhood education and babysitting one or two preschoolers, it's very hard to gauge what parents are and aren't comfortable with. the rules that parents have vary on such a wide spectrum--some parents will let their 3 year old play with a hose. some will let their kid stand

it is very hard not to be depressed given my whole life

sounds great thanks

so basically if i hadn't fucking gotten noro from the family that i babysit for once a week i wouldn't have had to call off 2 days and wouldn't have lost this job. and i can't even tell my father because he uses everything against me. medication/mental illness, student teaching placement drama, etc.

and it's a bummer because i had just taken off 3 days last week because i was sick and i'm taking this friday off bc of a therapy appointment. it's hard forgoing income in this debt economy, especially with the expensive, atrocious mess that is the higher ed system that saddles us w/ enormous debt

usually i'm busy enough with babysitting that i've recently started scheduling out in advance to accommodate some of the families that i haven't seen in a while because of how booked i am, so it's been some stress trying to keep track of that. but tomorrow both families i usually see don't need me

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

i will also never fall for any advertisement i get. every single company should stop advertising to me. you will not win. depressingly, google assumes stuff about us based off data they collect--general age range, relationship status, gender, income status. google would call me piss shit broke

i feel completely safe from the pervasiveness of online gambling because i am too cheap to ever spend the money and i know that they're rigged for you to lose money. i'm 26 and i've only ever been to a casino once, spent less than $20 and left because the vibes were rancid and depressing.

so the hospital is deemed at fault and is getting sold off because it can't afford to pay 15 million in settlement money to each victim. dr. bailey calls out dr. shepherd saying 'not all of us have millions' girl he lost his best friend in the crash? she would NOT do that!! dr. baily is reasonable!

after an agent helped me troubleshoot this bug for like 20 minutes, i decided to just delete my profile and make a new one. you won this round, hulu

AMEN

thanks to our ancient, decrepit, and incompetent US president, kids these days are going to grow up to a world that is actively hostile because of all the pollutants that will fill our air and our water. they're going to reminisce about the days where the air was clean and not dangerous to breathe
