Annoying moms

working moms who will hire an illegal nanny whose language they don't know just so that little Timmy knows Spanish. Let's hope little Timmy never has a medical emergency that would require the nanny to describe the symptoms.

SAHMs who keep saying everything is organic. Stop it already, my child won't die if he eats non-organic food.

and in regards to sharing? Nope, my child won't need to share HIS toy with your child (especially if my child is 2 and yours is 6) but my child will have to share public or other people's toys. don't tell your child that he/she can have my child's toy. It isn't automatic and I won't beg him to do so.

Oh and moms who talk about property value (of course beyond 700k) , about expensive pre-schools and about all the other privileged things your child will experience? : stop dissing me. I am trying to what's best for my child as well, we just don't have the money, alright?

last but not least: moms who are in their 40s, don't write me off because I am under 30. I CHOSE to have kids, don't look at me like I am pathetic. I know as much about parenting as you do. Or as little

Ummm....how are SAHMs looking out for my child? If you mean they are the ones that volunteer, that is quite a generalization and not at all true. Lots of working parents volunteer and quite frankly, we are also paying a greater share of the "community" costs of public education, fire, police, etc. You don't need to justify your choices by bashing others.

And while I don't believe in hiring illegal nannies either for other reasons, the language issue isn't one of them. And since you aren't the most enlightened person here, I'll clue you in to something - 911 is in SPANISH as well. As are most other services!!! The kid will be just fine in an emergency!!

This made me so sad - and I am so sorry for anyone who has lost their mother. I really began to appreciate my relationship with mine when I had my kids. Maybe we should stop this thread. I think enough has been said.

I agree. All moms have good and bad traits, just like all people do. I loved to complain about my Mother to my friends... until I didn't have her anymore.

SAHMs are the ones who grab your kid before he dashes into traffic outside the park, while the nanny chats on the cell phone. SAHMs are the ones who comfort your child when she's crying while the nanny gabs to her friends and ignores your child. SAHMs end up playing with your kid in the park while the nanny sits in the car with the baby and ignores the preschooler. SAHMs reunite the toddlers with the nanny who's smoking outside the library and let the kids go around the corner and out of sight when one of them can barely walk. I'm not rapping WMs with nannies; I had one myself. But I think this is what the PP probably means. Flame me for it if you like.

Well, PP you had a bad one. I have a great nanny. She is attentive and adores my kids. Sorry yours was so aweful but don't think that that is the norm. And I seriously doubt that the SAHMs are really looking about for the kids of nannies at the playgrounds. Have you read some of the posts on this thread? These SAHMs (I'm guessing) are some of the most self-centered people I've ever heard of in my life. I can't believe SAHMs have such a chip on their shoulders. I guess watching your own children isn't good enough to justify your choices so somehow you need to make it seem like you are watching ours too??? Hardly.

it's funny that you automatically assumed an illegal nanny must be spanish speaking. I for myself prefer to be able to communicate with caretakers about how my kids are. Unless all of the moms with nannies who don't speak english know spanish, I don't see that happening.

I was not talking about volunteering, but about what a pp before me said: while your nanny happily chats away with her friend, I make sure your kid doesn't hurt himself by falling off the playground equipment. Because I care about not only my own children but other children as well. (after all they can't do anything about the choices adults make, right?)

And if you really want to justify your choice to work by saying you are contributing more to society, so be it. I am happy with who I am. And believe it or not, I don't have anything against working moms, after all I will be one at some point as well. I just don't appreciate it when people try to tell me I don't care.

A smiley face does not undo the serious judgment you're imposed on working moms, any more than proclaiming you've got nothing against them. The poor children of working moms are helpless against the [clearly wrong] choices their adult moms have made? And this is why you feel compelled to come to their aid? Seriously?

I'm there at the park, too. I don't see SAHMs doing these things.

Probably so.

Quite relevant to this discussion, check out the last few posts in the "bad nanny sighting" thread:

Did you know that not all SAHMs are sanctimommies?
Did you know that not all nannies are negligent?
Did you know that working moms love their kids as much as SAHMs love theirs?

All this stereotyping and generalizing characteristics of SAHMs, nannies and WMs is what is ANNOYING! Maybe there is some truth in the instances you've witnessed, but what you witness is just a fraction of all the SAHMs, WMs and nannies in the world.
