[quote=Anonymous]OP, moms have their antenna out for other moms looking for free or borrowed help.  Any mom who wants/tries either is generally black balled by their own doing.  No one talks about it, but everyone knows who these moms are.  I would tell the mom, but chances are she already knows and is on it.

It is acceptable if the mom is reciprocating regularly, but you would be surprised at what some low life moms try.  They don't have the money for their own help, but want to try to use others.

Some moms and some nannies are so judgmental, they try to say who "needs" a nanny more.  1.) Okay, then pay the nanny at least as much as she is getting paid now;  and 2.) If you have family members in the area, back off;  and 3.) the mom with the nanny may have exigent circumstances you don't know about, the nanny doesn't know about and the user mom will never know about.  and 4.) chances are, the nanny would never in a million years work for you or your family because (surprise!) they don't like you and think you are sneaky.

There have been several posts on this.  The low life mom will never come out on top.  It is kind of like having a scarlet letter.
