[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, nothing is better than a nanny/house manager.  Our former nanny moved into a house manager role when youngest started school.  She took care of all ordering, groceries, handled kids’ lessons and outside classes, did the kids laundry, prepped food for dinner and made the kids lunches, drove them everywhere - she end kept track of birthday parties and got the gifts and wrapped them!

The ease and relaxation this woman brought to our lives made us better parents.  Evenings were stress free (nanny helped the kids with homework!) and weekends were virtually free of errands so we could devote our full attention to the kids.

The previous poster is nuts.  Kids don’t derive any benefit from watching a mother go to Costco and rushing to get a birthday gift before a party.  [/quote]
Isn’t it usually the role of grandparents... 
to just kick back and “enjoy” the kids?

Do you do any “unpleasant” tasks around the house altogether, 
or is that stuff already done by the house manager?[/quote]
