[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two-dad family. Two preschoolers. Nanny has worked 50-60 hours a week since the oldest was born. In the last year the kids have started to call the nanny “mommy” at times, always in an exaggerated baby voice so it’s not like they think it is her name, they are just saying it in the same way that they would pretend to play house or put on a stern voice to be a bad guy when playing superhero. What do you think about this? Does it need to be addressed or is it something that can just be ignored?[/quote] Real question: How would you get them to stop calling their "mommy" figure, Mommy? Why are you threatened? Why does it matter? This is the downsides of working all the time and having no mom around. [/quote] Children of working parents have been shown to be more successful when they are older. That's the upside. [/quote] How do you define sucessfull? And you ignored my questions.[/quote]
