The first year of life is nothing short of miraculous

[Anonymous]

As a nanny, it still blows me away.

You start with this tiny being who can’t hold up his head or even see more than a few inches and within just one year he’s an autonomous creature who learned how to crawl and walk. In one year to go from only sucking to feeding himself - with definite likes and dislikes. Added to the fact that he figured out the very concept of language and then came to understand virtually every single word I say and even talk back. That in just one year, he went from this tiny thing to a child whom I can say, “where’s the green boat?” And he toddles over, gets the free boat and holds it up to show me.

My charge is exceptionally bright on top of it, but with all my former charges the first year is truly an amazement.

This is why I am a nanny. What a privilege to be a part of this first year!

Good Lord! Other animals are on their own at six weeks but humans take forever to be on their own. Kittens and puppies are the miracles.

I hope you aren’t a nanny.

No. Thank God, I was smart enough to get two degrees and now have my own successful small business, which is not changing diapers and fatuous waxing poetic on the miraculous first year of life.

Animals don’t come close to the sheer learning power and potential of a human.

And you missed the point of OP’s post. As a mother I have been truly blown away by how much babies/children learn in the first three years. It’s lovely to have a nanny articulate it.

Good for you, Dear. Now calm down and promise never to have children. And with your rich life, stop trolling nanny forums.

Is that you, Tubby Troll? How’s the weight struggle going?

Yeah, you always say this, PP, but you can’t stop coming here. Why is that? You continue to troll a nanny forum but have no children and aren’t a nanny.

I think you need some help, PP. All jokes about your weight aside, there is something broken in you.

Too late. I have three and, I too, witnessed all of their and remember all their milestones-- first steps, first words, etc., which are missed by many of you, because I was a SAHM. Just because you don't like what someone has to say, doesn't mean they are trolls or that they have no children.

You were a SAHM with a nanny? I still don’t understand why you are constantly on a nanny forum. You are, by definition, a troll.

So you aren’t a nanny, were a SAHM without a nanny, don’t have a nanny and have contempt for mothers who work and do have nannies... and you’re on a nanny and employer forum... but you aren’t a troll?

I don’t think you know what troll means, PP.

You’re a troll bc you troll nanny message boards with hate. You offer nothing but distain. If you actually have kids and your own business you should be too busy to come on a nanny forum and spew your hate. Worry about the kids and successful business you claim to have. Then go work on getting another degree to enhance what you so desperately seem to think impresses people.
