[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread. I agree with the envy element. For me (a sahm who would struggle to afford the type of nanny I’d want) I’m genuinely confused by the idea of mixing love and money. Because I’ve never had or employed a nanny I worry I would resent my kids for loving someone I hired…I would worry about the nanny missing my kids if she became attached…or being phony about her feelings. Grandparent relationships seem more “natural”, but I’m learning that doesn’t always mean better [/quote] You wouldn’t resent your nanny. And a nanny’ attachment is a good thing. Millions of things involve love and money. Our former nanny who left our employ when our son started school still sees him all the time and is a dear friend of our family. You don’t have to be blood to be family. My parents are also involved with my son. [/quote]
