[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They think they do but unless you’ve had kids, not babysat or nannies, you will never know how much work it is on a daily basis. [/quote]

No, nannies get it.  I had no surprises going from being a nanny to being a mother.  [/quote]

+1. Same.  I got it when I was a nanny and knew what to expect in motherhood.  Motherhood is actually easier than being a nanny.  [/quote]

Same.  My sisters were so shocked ...and I was like I only spent 20 years of my adult life caring for kids. And yes it's easier the only nonsense I have to deal with is mine lol [/quote]

I totally understand this (that motherhood is easier than being a nanny).  I equate it to when my sister's kids or my best friend's kids are at my house.  I find it really easy to be a mom to my own kids but with someone else's kids, I always have to take a step back and think about their parent's systems, values, expectations and perspectives first.  You can do what you want with your own kids but with someone else's kids, you have to always keep their parents in mind first.  WWTMWMTD?  What Would Their Mom Want Me To Do?[/quote]
