[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time I go to the library on a weekday with my kid and see the dozens of nannies there, without fail I will encounter a toddler that calls the nanny "mama."

I always wonder how the mothers feel about that.  [/quote]
Uncalled for. Their mothers are working. What is this, 1950?[/quote]
My younger child went through a seven month phase where she called everyone dada. I was dada, our nanny was dada, my older child was dada. Jimmy Fallon wrote books with the titles “everything is dada” and “everything is mama”. Some children use one word to refer to many petiole/things (e.g., all dogs are max because my dog is named max). Calling the nanny mama isn’t meaningful.[/quote]
Same. DD is now in preschool and still refers to all adult women as "mommies" and all adult men as "daddies." They're just words that stick for a lot of kids, especially probably with adults they love that care for them. OPP I get that you're trying to say that parents (moms) who have nannies for their kids instead of staying at home with them are doing something wrong and not [i]really[/i] being mothers, but I assure you our children know who their mother(s) and father(s) are. Never felt jealous of my nanny. I was glad my kid loved her so much, and that my kid also had yet another wonderful adult in her life to rely on, trust, learn from, and love. SO there you go, THAT's how mothers with nannies feel, hon.[/quote]
