A coworker once asked if she could see the rubric used to determine her performance rating, since the rating itself seemed inconsistent with the feedback she had received all year. She was told the rubric was an internal tool not typically shared with employees. She asked how she was meant to improve against criteria she could not see. Nobody had a clean answer. She improved her circumstances instead. Elsewhere.

I hired a sitter + told her day one: “Do not turn off the nanny cam. It’s for safety, not to spy.”
She said “Of course, I love transparency.” Then unplugged it every nap time for 2 weeks.
Kid fell off the couch during one blackout. Concussion + ER + therapy: $4,500.
Her response? “He’s clumsy. Cameras don’t prevent falls.” Then she denied the camera was ever off.
Said I was “controlling” and “didn’t trust her.”
My sister said: “She needs the job. Don’t report her.”
But it wasn’t about trust.
I gave her a safety rule. She disabled it anyway.
So I checked router logs + pulled the offline timestamps + matched them to ER time.
No accusations. Just sent the data to the agency + police.
Turns out she’d done it with 3 other families. I was just the first who checked logs.
Agency fired her + police filed negligence. She lost her certification.
My kid still has therapy. But now the camera has battery backup.
And somehow…
I’m the one moms group calls “paranoid.”
Apparently, in childcare, “safety cam” means “optional.”
But expecting the one thing protecting your kid to stay plugged in?
That makes me the villain.

My son burst through the door after school, yelling at the top of his lungs:
“Mom! Mom! I got picked!”
I had no clue what he was talking about.
Turns out his teacher chose him to welcome a new student to the class.
Not because he’s the best at sports.
Not because of his grades.
He was picked for his kindness.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt prouder in my life. My heart is still full.
There are so many achievements in this world…
but being known as the kind one?
That might be the greatest one of all. ❤️

A friend in our group was getting married.
Someone created a group chat and said:
"Let's all chip in $100 each for a luxury espresso machine as a wedding gift."
I replied immediately:
"I can't do $100 right now. I can contribute $25."
Nobody objected.
Or so I thought.
Two weeks later, the machine was purchased.
My share?
Apparently $100.
I reminded everyone about my message.
The organizer rolled her eyes and said,
"We already bought it assuming you'd pay."
I said,
"That sounds like a you problem."
On the wedding day, I gave the couple a thoughtful $25 gift and a handwritten note.
The organizer was furious.
Suddenly I was selfish.
Funny how people become generous when they're spending someone else's money.
