[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That all sounds cute, PP, but the thing is, however good of a nanny you were with your baby+twins, you would have been a better nanny with just your charge twins. Don't pretend the baby didn't take anything away from them, and don't pretend your baby got no less compared to a one-on-one situation.[/quote]

If you're arguing that you were a better nanny to twins than most nannies are, even though you were also dealing with a new baby 24/7, well, I can't judge that. But don't try to pretend that it was all exactly the same from the MB's perspective - either you're less attentive/involved with her kids or you're doing less around the house. One or the other, most likely both.

You have 3 kids. How do you give them all equal attention when you are with them? [/quote]

Cute, but I never said that I did. The fact is that my older kids had MUCH less attention from me during the first year of baby's life while I was breastfeeding, etc, and frankly pretty exhausted. The house was also a mess, for sure.[/quote]

Cute but I was just asking a question. Never making any assumptions. But thank you proving a point. You aren’t a nanny. An excellent and qualified nanny is more experienced than you and can handle more than you. It’s clear that makes DCUM moms feel some type of way, that a nanny can jump in and make it look effortless while you struggled but, that’s what a good nanny does. That’s what you are paying for.

Just bc a parent couldn’t do it all bc they aren’t experienced doesn’t mean a nanny can’t. An excellent and experienced nanny can absolutely take care of your children, her own and still do an excellent job. Actually a better job than you bc guess what, it’s their job. It’s what they are used to and experienced with.

No one has said it, but that nanny you moms so quickly want to knock down, sounds amazing and experienced. [/quote]
