[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use to nanny and was fired during my pregnancy by a woman who would go on and in about how bad maternity leave and healthcare is in this country. She’d go out in her “Universal Healthcare is so in” t-shirt but refuse to give me even a stipend for my health insurance despite working 55 hours a week for her.

During her maternity leave (16 weeks) she moaned daily about how much of an asshole her boss was and how she wish she had a year like they do in Canada.

Within a week of me telling her I was pregnant I was fired.  I was 5 months along, and managed to hide it because I figured it would happen.  When I mentioned maternity leave she laughed and said, “so I’m suppose to pay you while your at home doing nothing and also pay someone else to be here?”

I’ve found that most of these upper class neo-liberal pussy hate wearing white ladies only want the perks of feminism for themselves.   The working class don’t deserve the healthcare and maternity leave they do.  Peak white feminism.

And nannies are legally household employees, they aren’t contract workers and it’s illegal to pay them as such.  They’re a families employers.  Most of us work 45+ hours a week.

That's really sad.  I find evidence of this on my local mom's listserv.  You have these women with 1 million dollar homes, but they can't fathom paying for maternity leave for the person caring for their kids 50 hours a week.  "It would be such a hardship!"  No.  Hardship is being a pregnant nanny with no paid maternity leave. [/quote]
