[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can never understand this peculiar American resistance to children being outside.  I would fire a nanny who would refuse to be outside with my baby/toddler.  We've had a nanny since DS3 was 4 months old.  He is now almost two and I can count on one hand the # of days they stayed inside.  [/quote]

It's not about being "outside."  it's about being far away from the home for multiple hours with no where to stop and rest.

Baby needs a diaper change 10 minutes into the walk?  Tough, there is no where to stop and change a diaper.  That newborn needs to sit in it's own filth for another 1 hour 50 minutes so big sister doesn't get upset that she can't have both mommy and nanny playing together. [/quote]

What? If that baby is a newborn, he should be flat on his back in the bassinet-type stroller.  Bring a mat and changing supplies that you should have with you anyway, slide the mat under his bum and change him. Big deal! If the nanny needs to rest, she can rest on a park bench like millions of mothers did before her.[/quote]

Parks are closed![/quote]
