[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op they are not ‘your nannies’. They are childcare workers who need to get paid, just like you do.  Imagine if your boss said I’m not going to pay you this week but if I call you then you better come in or you will be fired.  No.  They are allowed to take other jobs.  You are too cheap to hire a full time nanny despite all the hours you work.  You are the cheap one.

Most people would be thrilled to have close age neighbor kids come over and play.  Why does it make sense for you to pay extra money to ship your kids off to some class than let them play with their friends.  It’s sad that you can’t spend much time with your kids right now.  Don’t take their close friends away from them as well.  You are so obsessed with the money that you don’t stop and ask what makes my kids happiest?[/quote]

You're either not reading the same thread I am, or you're a few crayons short in the box.

You missed two points.
1) OP is the one who willingly gives out the nannies' numbers and recommends them as babysitters to friends and neighbors.
2) Why should OP be the one to pay for 100% of what is essentially in all other respects a 2 family nanny-share?
3) OP has offered the nannies regular hours and they refused, preferring the more flexible work.[/quote]
