I know some will be defensive about this, but I really think it should just be taken as a wake up call.

It has nothing to do with my position, if anything my position is a wonderful way to make money while also having children. I just haven't met the right person to start a family with. I'm also paid enough to own a condo alone and have no debt. I want to spend all my time with my future children without completely depending on my husband to support me. This isn't about growing up and choosing a job that is socially acceptable to someone else. I have a nice quality of life which is way more important than having what the smiths think I should have.

Your post makes no sense. You're banking on something that may never happen - like so many nannies. It's important to have a realistic back up plan that enables you to take care of yourself.

Hey dummy, she is taking care of herself. She's not envious of her employers financial lifestyle, just of the fact that they found someone to love, marry and have children with.

You only look less intellegent when you resort to name calling.

1 year old DS' nanny is about 6 months younger than me (we are both 29) and she is 4 years younger than DH. It hasn't caused any issues.

I used to be a chef, now I'm a nanny. I'm doing this as a career until I retire. Surprised there's judgement calls on that, but I make more, get vacation, and I'm not running myself into the ground mentally and physically.
I'm working for younger bosses now and it's fun

I'm confused on how you came to the conclusion that I envy my employers lifestyle and assume I can't take care of myself? I enjoy my job and chose it over teaching and being a social worker because of the quality of life I wanted and the intimate relationships I built. I also make more than most social workers who have been in the field for 10 years. I am completely independent and financially stable enough to have a child on my own. It's called good money management and making wise investments. However, I want the traditional family like my employers have and that is something I can't control or plan for. They were lucky enough to find each other at a young age. I think I'm doing pretty damn great for a 27year old.
