[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to mention the fact that shes literally giving up her summer so your family can have a more enjoyable one.

The sense of entitlement in this post is absolutely insane.[/quote]

INSANE. I’m seriously shocked that not only does OP think that someone shouldn’t be paid more when responsible for an additional child (a CHILD, not even close to a teenager, likely still an elementary schooler), she believes the nanny’s job is actually EASIER taking care of an additional child. It’s a rare 11 year old who would be just thrilled to play with a 7 year old for hours at the playground.

Can you really not afford to give your nanny an extra 30 bucks a week?? [/quote]

For a full day, every week.

Instead of being happy to enjoy the occasional event, the nanny will have an angsty 11yo, upset 7yo and energetic (oblivious) toddler. [/quote]

I think part of the issue is that OP doesn’t get that having him for a full day every week will quickly change the dynamic between the kids.  Sure he is fun and helpful with the 7yo when they only visit a few times a year.  But it will quickly become more like siblings and 11 yo siblings find toddlers and 7yos annoying and boring.  So it will be work for the nanny to find ways to keep it fun and engaging for all 3 kids so the dynamic stays positive.  I also wonder how recently they last visited this cousin.[/quote]
