[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More people should sometimes put a child's needs ahead of their own. Why not??[/quote]

In a temporary way that have no lasting detrimental effect on the adult, it’s absolutely a good idea to put a child’s needs first.  However, piecing together several jobs raises the likelihood that there will not be enough pay.  There definitely won’t be any overtime.[/quote]
I actually significantly increased my income when I accepted several PT families. Consistent PT care is hard to find. But, if the price is right you can find almost anything.[/quote]

But then that’s not you putting the child’s needs ahead of your needs.  The PP (maybe you maybe not) was claiming that she was willing to sacrifice her personal interests by taking a less optimal employment situation to benefit the child.  That’s very different.

I think it is quite unreasonable to expect a nanny to take a subpar job, however that is defined for the nanny, to provide some added benefit to the kid.  Very few but our apparent saintly PP would do that, nor would most other employees.[/quote]
Why not try the win-win-win model for a change? You might like it. Children might get more stable childcare. :)[/quote]
