"The Energizer Nanny"

[Anonymous]

She keeps going and going and going and going and going and going....
until oops, she gone! And onto the next doormat robot you can snag off the street.

Funny how you assume any intellegent mother takes time to recharge while the baby sleeps, but if a nanny needs to, FIRE her sorry ass!

Some of you parents are really a bunch of morons.

All for the bargain price of $16.00 an hour! If you hired an official cleaning lady, you'd be paying double that...
with zero childcare. How sweet.

I wish there were a way I could meet you in person. You're such a character here it would be so fun to have a face to put w/ the diagnosis.

You didn't realize what a f'ing slave-driver you are, with your "don't be sittin' when I'm paying you" shit? Now kiss that poor nanny's feet for putting up with you, and beg for forgiveness. A random cash bonus wouldn't hurt either.

well, go to sleep earlier instead of posting on DCUM at almost midnight, so you will not need to sleep during work hours. BTW, when I was home on maternity leave and taking care of the baby 24/7, I certainly never slept during the day, I survived because I would go to sleep promptly at 8 or 9 with the baby instead of spending time online (and before you flame me, I never had a nanny, sent my kids to daycare. If I had a nanny, I would not mind her to rest here and there while the baby is sleeping as long as the job is done) .

Isn't there a different forum on DCUM for daycare parents?

Do you often respond to your own posts?

Guess what the moms don't get to "recharge" at work - they must work for the hours paid or get fired. That's how the real word works. The lunch hour? Not paid for. Why do you think your nap should be paid for?

Oh the irony. It's intelligent.
By the way, if a nanny doesn't sleep while the baby sleeps it doesn't make her a doormat.

Any person whose lunch hour is unpaid can't afford a nanny and they aren't reading or posting here. I know MBs work hard but they are in salaried not hour positions. They may have to work long hours but they are well compensated and I've never worked for one that didn't take care of personal business during work hours from time to time. Behind the scenes they constantly comment about how hard it is to spend all day with a toddler and how they couldn't do and don't know how we do. You may not like if your nanny takes a break during the day but don't be disingenuous about it.

Not all MBs are like what you (always) describe

Now there's the truth! Thank you.

I am an MB, My half hour lunch at work is unpaid. I have a nanny, I also earn more than my husband, and I live in upper NW DC. My nanny costs only marginally more than daycare would for one child, and will certainly cost less than daycare for two children when I have a second. My nanny is legal and I pay her legally. The limited availability of daycare in this area made my decision to hire a nanny even easier. Stop stereotyping because as you can see, I am both reading and posting here.
