You're a nanny? And this is how you feel about working parents?

Who said anything about working parents? I was referring to DCUM MBs. I know plenty of women who work and don't outsource every damn aspect of being a mother.

Exactly. Thank you. It's that darn "Nanny as Parent" phenomenon again, isn't it?

Totally different if nanny eats with the kids! I have zero issues making and eating with the kids, possibly having leftovers for the parents and possibly not.

I wouldn't do it unless I was working a dinner hour and was supposed to feed him.

I think it is unfair to have to prepare something, then have to go home.

Why is it "unfair"? Is it unfair to do laundry if you don't get to wear the clothes?

My charges eat at 5. I cook dinner for them Monday-Friday and often leave leftovers and things they can heat up on the weekends.

DH and I always make sure that there are leftovers to reheat because we know we won't have time to cook from scratch during the week. It is not the nanny's responsibility to cook dinner, but since she's willing to reheat leftovers for the kids it makes a world of difference in how our evenings go.

Our previous nanny usually didn't feed the kids dinner, so I would as soon as I got home at 6pm. The kids were hungry and frequently cranky and I was always stressed because they wanted my attention and I needed to focus on getting dinner ready for them. Our current nanny decided that the kids needed to eat around 5pm (since she could tell that they were hungry) and took it upon herself to prepare dinner for them from the start even though it wasn't something that we expected of her.

Long story short, since the new nanny started 7 months ago the kids are happier, we're happier and the nanny is well respected and appreciated for having the initiative to realize that this was something simple that she could do to make life easier for everyone.

Why you parents find too hard to cook and feed your own child.

We pay you to do those things during the hours we are working outside the home. That is the job. If you don't want the job then change careers.

Why is everyone so mad? My nanny makes dinner when I ask her to as part of her job and usually she makes some for herself too. My kids are older and she has time -- when they were younger, she didn't cook

[Anonymous]

It doesn't matter how old the kids are. I love to cook, so I have no issue getting kids involved and cooking for the kids. However, I'm not interested in making something for the kids, then something for me, then finally something for the parents.

If you want an insult to carry any weight you should learn to write better. Otherwise your retort is just a laugh line.
