[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you, OP. It's kinda gross. Not sure what I'd doin your shoes, though! Hey, 13:48: why the bitchy jab at SAH moms? If you're sour about your own circumstances, don't dump on others. [/quote] It wasn't a jab, it was a question, because no parent whose kid spends much time in the company of others (nanny, daycare, etc) could possibly enforce standards like this. Not sure how two words offended you.[/quote] For all you know, even if OP is SAH she may be part of a co-op, her kid could be in daycare part-time while she deals with a newborn, she could work out of the house full-time and just find the practices gross. Your assumption, if it really didn't have an element of judgment, would have been phrased as a question about how much time her kid spends around other kids (I think we all know that it's unwarranted to assume nannies do the things OP's relatives are doing, so that part of your explanation is a non-starter). At the very least, "Are you a SAHM?" would be more courteous than a condescending "SAHM, yes?" And to the PP with the eye roll, I hope you are teaching your children to be more courteous than your snotty eye roll suggests you are.[/quote]
