How come being a women most people are not understanding the nanny pregnancy. It just same may be the nanny told about the pregnancy issue to the MB and MB is not revealin everything this. Have respect for each other everyone here is saying bad about the nannies. |
She may have terrible medical issues, and I agree with you that the nature of her pregnancy is not our (or MB's) business. However, she can't do her job. The end. If she delivered packages for the post office, for instance, she might be given disability leave. However in this case there is no such disability available and as she doesn't work for a larger company and there is no way to accommodate her, she needs to go. It's not about being understanding or not. This nanny cannot perform the duties of her job. The MB needs to find someone who can. |
A 20 month old should not be screaming all day and if she does it just to get her way, then yes, she is a screaming brat. Also, a 20 month old does not need to be held or picked up all day. |
Because this woman is a nanny and the mom bitches think of her as a child of a lesser god. |
How is this a good saying? Most people have their boss watching them all day. |
I am the OP and personally I would understand if there was an issue. However, there is not. She is basing her decisions on outdated advice (or laziness, but I;d like to give her the benefit of the doubt). But it's rather hard to have to help her with DD and have DD cry when I walk away. I have to put DD in her high chair for snacks and meals! So you can't say working for a WAHM mom sucks because she's always around when the nanny herself is asking me to do things. |
I totally disagree. As a pregnant nanny my employers have been very supportive. They have been doing all the lifting for me and have told me to stay out of the heat. I think you should show her a little more empathy. She's probably worried about miscarriage. |
How can they be doing all the lifting when they're at work? |
If that's the case she should educate herself about her own pregnancy before claiming she's disabled. http://www.pregnancyloss.info/myths.htm http://www.fitpregnancy.com/pregnancy/getting-pregnant/miscarriage-demystified http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/pregnancy-childbirth/third-month/fear-miscarriage The chances of having a miscarriage are not increased by sexual intercourse, safe exercises, heavy lifting, hanging pictures, doing your usual amount of work and play, a minor fall or accident, or stress or emotional upsets. |
Exactly. These kinds of things are what give women a bad name. |
The only lifting needed is in and out of the stroller. Mb helps with this in the morning before she goes to work. We take a walk for 30 minutes in the morning. My charge walks well. We walk to the library and coffee shops close by. She can climb into her bed. We have meals on the floor. Mb insisted on doing the lifting. |
I think you need to read up on pregnancy risks. You are doing a disservice to every other woman out there. You are why employers fear women. My goodness, you can't lift a child into a stroller? If she needs help, that means she's young, and can't weigh much. Wow. |
My mb insisted on doing the lifting. My god can't you read? |
And you should have told her you were pregnant, not disabled. Because it's true. My gosh, man up. |
The ability to pick up a toddler may vary from pregnancy to pregnancy, woman to woman, and toddler to toddler. Some toddlers weigh a lot and are very uncomfortable to carry, while others are pretty light and easy to tote. This is not a one-size-fits all approach. I posted this because I wanted to share that it was my MB who had a different perspective. She encouraged me to not do any lifting and to have her daughter walk with me instead of being carried. |
