QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 03:07 PM) Are they w-2 (employee) or 1099 (independent contractor). Either way, if you are writing the agreement just basically put in a section and make it clear that it is employment at will. Do not write anything like "termination for cause etc", as that is just superfluous (since im billing you, Ill use the fancier words so I sound legitimate. ). Come to the north burbs where I work and I'll buy you lunch!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 02:51 PM) Thats why I pay my wife to stay home. my wife makes 90k my nanny makes 28k

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 02:47 PM) Ugh, with cleaning too. That's a nice deal. Did you guys use one of those online listing sites to find her? care.com where we found the new one, too this one has had the ups and downs but it's been a good experience. too much absenteeism though.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 02:08 PM) I didnt see your first post earlier, and this is going to come off as cold, but dont put into contracts "termination for cause." If she is an employee make it clear that she is "at will", which means you can fire her for any reason or no reason. Just no point in putting yourself in a position where you could be liable for wrongful termination. (edit) Its interesting timing because just today I had to leave work cause my dad got sick so he couldnt take care of the monster this afternoon. Any further insight? Direction? I think that makes sense.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 02:43 PM) $95/day + $70/week to clean the house $545/week total If I could do it again, I'd do daycare. Our daughter is on such a schedule that adjusting now is something we won't do. She'll be hitting preschool in a year anyway.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 02:22 PM) Out of curiosity, what do you guys pay for your nanny? We've got 2 kids, a 4.5 year old and a 7 month old. Debating #3 in the next year. We've been discussing the nanny route simply for the ease of travel - she can play taxi for the kids for school, daycare, practice, etc. We pay about 36k a year for 2 in daycare. I assume a nanny would be more but we haven't gotten that far. The convenience of the nanny has always been offset by the structure/school environment/socialization provided by the daycare. $95/day + $70/week to clean the house $545/week total

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 07:05 AM) I need Soxtalk's advice / confirmation I'm doing the right thing. Our daughter is 22 months old. She's awesome. We have a nanny. She's solid - when she shows up to work - and has an amazing relationship with our daughter. By my estimation, said nanny missed about 30 days in 2016 due to family (sick father, sister died) and her own health problems (has been in the hospital about 6 times for some heart issue). I have 11 direct reports at work, and half of them are 24 or under. This means they need guidance quite a bit or else projects will go haywire. I am at my wit's end. While I am understanding of her situation, it has become a great strain for my wife and I to continually - have to miss work - lean on family members who then have to miss work - deal with random people watching our daughter who aren't keyed in on her schedule, thus causing workday distractions Anyway, in her "contract", it clearly says we can fire her for cause. Over the weekend she fainted at Gurnee Mills. Honestly, I was mostly prepared to deal with her missing work for "one more year", but now I am having real anxiety over the thought of her fainting while carrying my daughter through a parking lot to a store. One of the benefits of having a nanny is our daughter gets to go all over the place, shop, do fun things. I am concerned. So, having typed all of this, of course I have to replace her. However, I just wanted to get Soxtalk's backing. We interviewed a young woman last night who seems like a good fit. Oh man, firing our nanny is going to be so hard. As an update, we've decided to move along. The young woman we interviewed is receiving an offer later tonight which she says she's excited to accept. I've decided to pay the current nanny for two weeks upon dismissal. To say this isn't weighing heavily would be an understatement. I'm too emotional a guy, it seems. Thankfully I quit drinking 51 days ago or else I'd really be acting goofy. I'll let y'all know how she takes it. Spoiler alert, she's going to sob and promise she'll do better and not understand it and get angry and sob and sob and sob.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) @dominicholden 17m17 minutes ago CNN’s Jim @Acosta said on the air that Trump’s team threatened to yank him from press conference if he tried to speak up again. One day Trump will just take questions from Breitbart. His own personal propaganda website. He's had no problem skirting very real rules so far. Now comes the First Amendment. This ends one of three ways. 1 - Trump is in office for 4 years, somehow the country is still standing 2 - all out world war with us teaming up with the russians 3 - some heroes somewhere arrest him for his various crimes already committed and to be committed. This is f***ing madness.

This is real life, folks. The American people can no longer be trusted to, in the era of the electoral college, elect someone for the people. 3 million more votes for someone eminemtly more qualified and somehow this has happened. Our country is in very real trouble.

This could be the downfall of Buzzfeed. Seems very risky to publish such things with very little confidence it can be backed up.

He got benched in the 4th the other night. Three options: - he's sulking and being a baby - he's dead - he's gang banging Shall we start a poll?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 05:47 PM) Thats correct. You can just leave everything and make all sound go from TV to Soundbar through that digital feed. Hilarious that I just hooked her up as source to "receiver input" 1-to-1 because that's how I've been doing it since I was 12.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 05:43 PM) I'm using two inputs at the moment. The optical out from my tv to the soundbar so it automatically controls the power when the television is turned on and off. This runs the Comcast feed. The I run HDMI from the PS4 through the soundbar and out to tv through the soundbar. The sound is absolutely exceptional. No visible wires because I'm awesome. The subwoofer being Bluetooth is nice as well. The soundbar also functions as a Bluetooth speaker from a tablet or phone and just blasts the tunes the 3 minutes a week or less in home and my wife and daughter aren't haha. And having just typed this I realize I could have simply left my PS4 plugged into hdmi 2 and it would share the functionality. LOL! Guess I'm getting the old wire out to move some cables through the wall tonight!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) I haven't had a home sound system for years so this maybe a dumb question, but do these sound bars hook up to TV? No more amplifiers?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) How much you pay for it? I see some from $100 to lots more. Here's the one I got - it's at Costco for $199. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HW-K450-Chan...ng+soundbar+450 It throws/simulates realistic surround and sounds great. Big fan. Makes Battlefield 1 sound nuts and works as a great stereo with minimal footprint (I got rid of the monster receiver/speaker set when we moved to our new house). Very, very happy.
