[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny.  My first “nanny” job was in a rural area as a sort of live-in (part-time help in exchange for room and board).  The family I worked with then had 5 kids and live in rural upstate new york and have always been close to the wire.  Kids are currently 18, 16, 13, 10 and 9. Recent story that mom shared with me:

The pipe from the woodstove they use to heat their house all winter vents the heat near the roof.  Apparently, there was some insulation too close to it that caught fire.  Dad was out of town.  Mom was recovering from surgery and bedridden.  When the smoke alarms went off, the 18yo boy called 911 and got mom, youngest 3 kids and their pets to safety in the barn.  The 16yo boy got their fire extinguisher and went out a window and onto the roof, where he punched a hole with the extinguisher and sprayed into the crawlspace where the fire was spreading, and repeated a few times until the fire was out.  By the time the fire department had arrived, there was nothing left for them to do.

I comparw that kind of awareness and responsibility and self-efficacy to the wealthy kids I nanny for now and just shake my head.[/quote]

Yep this is my brother. He just comes and takes care of shit and gets it done. [/quote]
