[quote=Anonymous]I nannied throughout grad school and this one family had a multimillion dollar home, 3 different play areas, a pool, every toy imaginable, etc. Dh and I had just bought a house that had 40 year old kitchen and bathrooms, no toys (we didn't have kids yet), but the kids always asked to come over to my house and we would bake cookies from scratch, build forts, make sock puppet shows, go on scavenger hunts. One day when the mom came to pick the kids up, the 5yo said "Mom, I really wish I could live here in Larla's house. It's so magical". That has stuck with me intensely over the years. I used to be embarrassed for their mom to come in when she picked them up. Now that I have 3 kids, I always remind myself they don't need the most, latest, or greatest- they need my undivided attention when I'm with them and someone to get on the floor and color sock puppets.[/quote]
