[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

1.  Why didn't you go to college?

2.  What made you decide to become a nanny instead of going to college?

3.  What were your parents' reactions to your decision to become a nanny?

4.  Why didn't your parents provide support for you to do something else after high school, if you weren't going to college?  Why not a "gap year", or some kind of trade school? I find it very difficult to believe that someone with your alleged background would feel comfortable working as a nanny, or that your parents would feel comfortable about it.

5.  I also find it difficult to believe that someone of your alleged background could feel comfortable in a relationship with someone from such a very different background (ie, the Bobcat Hunter).  I have known people who dated individuals that came from vastly different socioeconomic backgrounds, but in each case, the couples somehow addressed the differences (they accepted their differences, but they couldn't ignore them, as was evidenced by jokes, etc. between them).  I found your blase, matter-of-fact depiction of the Bobcat Hunter to be somewhat inauthentic...if what you say about your background is true.

Op here: I'm not going to respond to any of this because if you had actually read this thread, you'd know that I went to college and graduated so please go back and read and you'll have answers :)[/quote]

OP, if you DID go to college, it makes me even more incredulous at your early career choice (nanny).  Also, can you answer #5?[/quote]

Op here: I honestly didn't know what I wanted to do career wise until I was about 20. I went to school for Business because I figured eventually I could just go work for my dad at the family business. I became a nanny at 17, right after high school, just so I could make some money and also because I truly adore babies and kids. My family is not the type to spoil all the kids rotten and give us whatever we want just because they can. I had a really good education and both my younger brother and sister both go to very good private schools and my family focuses more on that then giving us anything we want so I was expected to work part time. Also, my sister was born when I was 12 and just having her around made me really love kids and love babysitting. Once I became a nanny, I truly loved it and continued to do it all through college and after college. Around the time I was 20, i figured out a business that I really wanted to get into. I continued nannying because it gave me awesome money that I was able to save to help put towards starting my business. My dad DID help me with lawyer and accountant fees but everything else I have done myself.

As far as your number 5 question- I don't really have a good answer. My high school boyfriend came from a very similar background and we dated sophomore to senior year of high school. When I was 17, I met my other boyfriend who I was with until I was 23. We came from pretty different backgrounds. His family was not wealthy by any means and we just grew up very different. That was always a big issue for him as he always worried about making me happy if we ever got married and worried about me not having the lifestyle I grew up with (vacations, big house, etc.) but none of that matters to me. My mother is very into wealth and is the type of woman who likes people to know she has money from the car she drives to the clothes and jewelry she wears and that always bothered me. She makes it very obvious when she doesn't think someone is up to her standard and I've always told myself I'd never be like that- letting money and wealth get to my head. Also, my mom HATED me being a nanny as she never saw it as a career and it just made her angry, especially since my brother and sister had a nanny and that's what I was doing. So again, I don't really have an answer for you. Yes, SV and I are very different background wise but I never judged someone off stuff like that. [/quote]
