[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are all nuts. Except for those who wrote normal responses. I pay $30 an hour. The former nanny used to work for 6 hours a day. And no, she didn’t have to be with infants or toddlers. She used to do projects with our youngest: play dough, art, construction paper, etc. they used to spend time outside or ran around the house playing tag or hide and seek. She used her phone only when her grandson called (they live together). It’s sad they moved to a different state. I pay for a nanny so our youngest doesn’t have to sit with me for 2,5 hours while the other child is training. So she doesn’t have to be in the car for an hour. So she can have her own classes like ballet and art. Yeah, I guess it’s time to look for a new nanny. Why on earth should she be reading news while at work? I am not asking to hover over my daughter, I want to make sure they are doing nice fun things together.[/quote]

Wow, sounds you like you don't want to be around or spend any time with your youngest. Sad.[/quote]

What do you know? I spend more time with my kids than you do. 100%. My youngest isn’t deprived. But my middle one doesn’t want to quit a sport and asks only me to be there for her. It’s really far. And yes I have to be present just like other parents. Believe me I want to quit it all. But what then? I kill my kid’s dreams? Nanny will sit there on her phone instead of watching my child closely. And that’s what I do there. Just like every single mom or dad there. [/quote]

100%? Try 0%. I bring my youngest with me to my kid's practices. We read books, do homework, play games. Go run errands, and I talk to him. You spend very little time and want to pawn your kid off. Sad.[/quote]

Really? Well my youngest enjoys her ballet and art every other day and I read to her, we play and sing every day. On the days my middle one is free, I am with my youngest. Be sad for yourself not me. This forum is full of pathetic and angry folks. [/quote]
