[quote=Anonymous]I agree it's so exhausting. Going on vacation in August with my 2 and 4 year olds and am semi dreading it. But if it makes you feel better, I don't think bringing a nanny is a solution -- I don't know how people do this. I have always had a full time nanny for normal life and we once took her with us on a trip and it was just more stress. The kids just wanted me the whole time anyway (even though they love her, but unlike home I wasn't working in this setting), and so I was just mothering full time and she was standing around feeling bad about it, trying to coax them to go play with her. I would have felt like a POS mom if I was lounging around while my kids were playing 10 feet away with the nanny. It's FOR SURE helpful at night so you can go out, but I have no idea how to have a nanny during the day without it just seeming like one more thing to manage to the tune of $25/hr, plus travel expenses.
