You can’t deny that thin privilege works on a scale. A size 4 has privilege that a size 14 doesn’t, who in turn has privilege that a size 24 doesn’t, who yet again has privilege that a size 34 doesn’t, and so on. I’m definitely fat. But I’m not the only fat person in the world, or the fattest person in the world, and my experiences, while true for me, don’t make someone else’s conflicting experiences less true.

I highly doubt all the people that liked/ reblogged this are vegan.
I don’t need to be a vegan or vegetarian to be against animal cruelty. I don’t beat my meat before I eat it.
Actually, you do need to be vegan to be against animal cruelty. You don’t love animals if you’re not vegan.
Wow, says who? You?
“You don’t love animals if you’re not vegan.” oh really?
Is this a joke?
Just fuck off.
excuse me .(before i say this i dont care what your lifestyle choise is just that you stop being an arse about it) just because you are a vegan does NOT mean you are better than anyone else! if (the unfertilised therefore containing no living animal) eggs are not taken away from the chickens they will rot and cause the chickens to get ill and will attract insects, if cows are not milked enough then their udders start to ache and they get ill. almost all slaughterhouses kill their animals as painlessly as they can and i realise not all do so and that is cruelty . but don’t go around thinking that people who eat meat or eat dairy products are going around kicking every animal they see. just because you eat meat doesn’t make you a cruel person and just because you are a vegan doesn’t make you some wonderful superhuman so shut the fuck up about how wonderful you all are because you don’t eat animal byproducts
also, as a surprising little note, some people just don’t have the financial resources to go vegan. and others literally cannot do so because their digestive system just can’t handle it.
So before you go and tell people they’re horrible for not being vegan, think about this for a second, then just don’t say anything, cause you don’t know their situation.this should have more notes.

Zucchini Blossoms Stuffed with Ricotta
I’m pretty sure this kid is constipated
Tips?
Her mom doesn’t want her drinking juice at the moment because it gave her diaper rash last week, so my go to option is out.
Apple slices work almost as well as apple juice. Prunes if you got ‘em.
Babysitter?
Okay… I’m going to admit it. I’ve been in a funk lately and have been acting like a….BABYSITTER! I’ve been behaving as if I’m just here to prevent the kids from dying until their parents come back. Food, water, basic essentials. But I’m snapped out of it. I’m working on summer lesson plans for everyone.
I realized last week I’d gotten in this same funk. Not enough sleep coupled with my knee falling apart again… and yeah. BUT, I’m now on a campaign to get E ready and raring for pre-school in the fall. I’m really excited! And incredibly worried!
Any tips from nannies/parents/teachers with kids already in pre-school or beyond for making the big step easier?
Demon Sitting: How Do You Get Consent?
OK so I’ve seen Nanny-Notes’s “Consent” post floating around this week and finally sat down and read it. I completely agree with her on the whole thing and just reblogged it for that reason. BUT I ask now how do we as adults deal with being told “no”?
A few years back my personal life got in the…
Ugh, so, confession time. While trying to find the balance between hardass and pushover, especially with the 2yo, time outs for making a game of not letting me change his diaper has started resulting in time outs.
I’m not entirely sure how we went from nearly potty training both boys at the same time to J becoming the typical “I don’t care if I’m dirty” little boy. The thing is though, this is the kid that will say “owy, hurts” still if he gets something on him (still working on that.) Both boys love bath time and any excuse to play in water, be it washing hands or “helping” do the dishes.
So, you couple this with a 2 year old seeing how far they can flex their boundaries without getting in trouble and you get everyone’s favorite bi-hourly game of run away from Mrs. Rachel, it’s diaper changing time! All three of us have tried explaining why a diaper change needs to happen, and both boys have nodded and said okay. But you ask them why they don’t want their diaper changed? No discernible answer. When he says he doesn’t like diapers and you explain that it’s either using the potty or getting a diaper change, neither is fine. When asked if they liked having a dirty diaper? YUP!
There are days where the boys comply a lot more. But more often than not, the situation is I ask J to lay down on the carpet (the cat broke the changing table) so I can change his diaper. If it’s just pee and he wants to fool around I’ll usually give it a minute. Then I’ll ask again and if he refuses he gets a count of 5 to comply or he gets a time out (age=minutes) and then his diaper changed.
This is such a ride the fine line between subject for me. I want the kids to be able to say no. And lately we’ve had to work with E about not telling every stranger that we meet his name, or that it really doesn’t matter how big his penis is or that we need to see if it is (NONE OF US KNOW WHERE THIS CAME FROM OMG), but listening to your elders is still a thing, non? I guess I just want to make sure they know what is and isn’t okay. Especially with my own history. I don’t have specific memories of my mom telling me one way or the other about what kind of touch was and wasn’t okay. But I do remember being smart enough at the age of 7 to freak out on my would be molester so much he stopped and it didn’t happen again.
I suppose all I can do is keep doing things like not forcing hugs or kisses, explaining any medical shit that needs doing even when it’s a daily thing, and do my best with the rest of it.
McScooterson: Nanny Lessons
I would love to hear from other nanny blogs! What are the most important lessons you teach your children? The ones that underscore all the others. :)
I’d say the most important and prevalent are these:
1) Share! Be it food, toys, or taking turns.
2) Use your words. Tantrums…
10) Forgive! No one is perfect and we’re all going to make mistakes. But its important to forgive each other and move on.
11) Accept Others. If we’re going to let your freak flag fly you have to let other’s fly theirs. So if Kaitlyn likes bugs that’s cool. If Connor likes dolls that’s awesome too. If Shauna wants to be Ironman that’s fine. And beyond this we all learn things at different paces so if your classmate/friend is struggling with something you picked right up help them out with it don’t tease them about it. We’ll have a lot more fun if we’re not fighting and tormenting each other.

I’d say the most important and prevalent are these:
1) Share! Be it food, toys, or taking turns.
2) Use your words. Tantrums don’t accomplish anything and gibberish is only for silly play time. Help me help you kidlet.
2a) Use words instead of hitting or kicking.
2b) Manners: You will learn them, use them, love them.
3) Try it once. If you don’t like it you don’t have to finish it. BUT I may ask you to try it again in the future.
4) Yes, you do have to listen to me just like Mommy and Daddy. In fact, I take less shit than they do, so you better listen the first time.
(The 2yo is currently testing his boundaries A LOT)
4a) Listen to each other! If your brother asks you to stop playing rough, please listen.
5) Reading is AWESOME! I’ve been with these guys since 3 and 1.5 and you better believe they got library cards in the first month.
- Other awesome things: Music, Art, the outdoors…
6) Try your best. Don’t give up so quick. This has been especially difficult with the 3+yo. The 2yo is still in super “I doin’ it!” mode.
7) Keeping track of/Cleaning up toys
8) It’s okay to say you don’t know. I promise! Ask me questions if you aren’t sure.
8) The difference between need and want, and not always getting your way.
9) It is totally okay to be the complete goobers you are. Let those toddler size freak flags fly!
