[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom here, who employs a nanny, and I agree with Jeff.  I have seen those kinds of posting and I usually find them quite problematic.

If there are serious concerns there are far more reliable, fast, responsive ways to address a concern about a child and a caregiver.  Often the posts here are unsubstantiated, unfair, inconclusive, highly subject to judgment or perception and just lead to unpleasant discussions of ethnicity or parenting choices.

Totally supportive of Jeff's decisions re this issue.[/quote]

Agreed.  Particularly about the ethnic issue.  I see mediocre parenting every day, but I don't report it on DCUM because it looks like the parents doing it.  The only time one can be confident it is a nanny is when the kids and the nanny don't "match."  Of course, this disregards all the ways in which a family might be created, but it also subjects nannies to a much higher standard than moms.

I'm confident that someone has seen me chatting with another mom, or screwing around on my phone, while at the park with my child.  But no one is reporting me because my child and I match. [/quote]
