I certainly wish my employers would see themselves in my above comment. If Monday morning is business as usual, then they either don't care or didn't see themselves here. I'm counting my days. Should I line up my next job first, or first let them know what's coming? Been there four years. |

Part of the issue is that many nannies also help to manage the home. So the groceries have been bought, the laundry has been done, the kids needs have been provided for, and yes, the parents do have weekend things to do, but they have less on their plate, thanks to their nannies, than the nannies themselves have on their to-do lists every weekend.
tl:dr? Parents have very little child related grunt work to do on the weekends because nanny has done that work already. Therefore, tolerance for parental complaints is low. |

So many angry and embittered nannies. You resent your employees who work though of course their paycheck ensures you get paid.
Yes, being a nanny is a tough job, but you’re not a hero and presumably you’re in the job by choice. And you also presumably realize that people hire nannies because they work and yet you insult working parents as somehow less equipped than you are. Who is watching your kids while you work? Are you a lesser parent? If you despise the job so much - do something else. |

We despise our bosses because many of them are elitists who thinks their shit doesn't stink.
They start off appreciative but then get too comfortable. |
Oh, stop, Drama Queen! OP made it clear that she loved her job but was venting about one irritating comment. Untwist your panties. - an MB |

An entire thread devoted to a nanny who has her panties in a twist because her MB made an innocent comment acknowledging her hard work and you’re suggesting the PP untwists her panties? You and your sanctimony. |
Preach! |
Sanctimony?! You are such a DCUM parrot. You don't even know what the word means. And look up "vent" while you're at it. |
I do know what sanctimony means and if you knew what it meant you’d recognize your own. As for venting - there’s venting and and there’s whining and being unnecessarily judgemental all for the sake of some victimhood that the OP and some others are trying to achieve. If you’re so damn talented find another job rather than “putting up with” your boss innocently acknowledging your job is tough. They work outside the home and that gets you you’re paycheck. Be supportive instead of nasty and undermining. |
Wow. I feel sorry for anyone near you today. |
More high drama from you and your sockpuppet. Tiresome at best. I made it clear that I am an employer of a nanny and not a nanny. Not surprised at all that you missed that. The nanny has a right to vent. That was a thoughtless (in the true sense of the word) comment given OP's responsibilities as a nanny. |
| Some parents dont deserve a good nanny. OP find a better family |
It wasn't thoughtless and if the nanny is so sensitive, maybe she should find another career. Or find another employer. The contempt for employers on this forum is pretty spectacular. No wonder all these stories of nannies abusing their charges - you can see how vicious and entitled so many are from this forum. |
Oh shut up! You lost this argument so now you want to accuse nannies of abusing children? You are truly pathetic, PP. Stop embarrassing yourself and get off the internet for awhile. |
