[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is deployed and I could not get to my son’s preK graduation.  His former nanny (now a close family friend) was there and made it a big deal for my son.  So everything was fine... except two days later,  three mothers made it a point to tell me how wonderful our former nanny was and how great it is that my son has “someone he can rely on”.  Talk about a knife in my heart.  [/quote]

Ugh what a dreadful thing to say to you. Probably didn’t come out how they meant, but still![/quote]

That's totally how they meant it. I would have just rolled my eyes at them or if particularly inspired, told them to stuff it.

They may have meant it! My husband just got home from a 9-month deployment and I couldn't have done it without my wonderful nanny. I'm so happy that my kids had another adult in their lives while he was gone and I'm not sure I could have made it without her to rely on. If the 3 moms were serious, I'd agree with them and be thankful for the nanny. If they were being catty, I'd still be grateful for the nanny but I'd try to throw in something about DH serving his country to shut them up :-)[/quote]
