Too bad. They don't get what they want. I am serious. You have a very busy life. They learn to self soothe, and rely on the Nanny.[/quote]

Right the sooner those kids learn to suck it up the better. What kind of a person needs the love and comfort of their mother when they are sick?[/quote]

Different poster but when I was sick as a kid my mother never hung out with me. I stayed in bed, she'd bring me cheerios or soup or an ice pop, and check my temp and give me medicine, and that was it. If I wanted to tell her somehting, I'd wait until the next time she came by. I felt perfectly loved and comforted by her. [/quote]

This. And when our kids are sick, DH and I each try to shave an hour or two off of our workday if we can, and ask our nanny to handle the rest. It is not an issue. Pretty sure our kids feel loved and prioritized by us.[/quote]
