[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here- Women seem to have no problem expecting a nanny to do this.  We manage just fine...  You sound like a drama queen.  I work 60 hrs a week with infant twins and also sleep over twice a night, plus do the brochure and housekeeping.  Get a grip, lady. [/quote]

No question that nannying for 2 young babies is hard, but jeeesh.  Are you breastfeeding the infant twins too, 24/7?  Managing postpartum hormones, whether they are the blues or more serious PPD??  Quite frankly, as the mother of two young kids who had a similar situation to OP (but throw in an inter-state move a couple of weeks postpartum), I was lucky to have some help from my mother.  I might have been able to do it without her, but I would've been a lot more stressed.  No question that nannying for 2 babies is very hard work, but toddlers often just don't act up or act out in the same way towards a nanny as they do toward their mothers, and let's face it -- you are getting paid AND [b]you get to clock out[/b].  Sounds like you do work a lot of hours, but there isn't a mother on the planet who wouldn't kill for 5 nights and 1 day off each week from their work.  You're basically describing a totally different situation, apples to oranges.  And regardless, you sound like a self-righteous biatch anyways.

OP, good luck.  You have a lot of great ideas here.  Implement what you can and go easy on yourself!  It will all settle down within a couple of blurry months.  [/quote]
