Any nanny that agrees to work 15 hours a day is crazy. |
|
It never ceases to amaze me how utterly stupid some people can be. Lots of money, but no class.

I agree. 15 hours a day is INSANE. One of the bad points about being a nanny is you often don't have much of a life outside of being a nanny because you do work very long hours. That's why nannies who have been in the profession for 10-15 years choose part time positions. That is so they're able to have a partner and maybe have their own children. |

So
can the poster who said I was being mean please read the last few posts! I am now stupid have no class crazy. Anything else? I happen to work for a hi profile family and when they have work (films, tv etc) yes I have a lot of work and long hours. So call me crazy. And no I am not working for disposable income. Someone has to be with the kids while parents are working. Oh again I am sorry that you all don't understand that just like you don't understand how I have money to play with and to pay off all my bills and debt. Guess what I have a large savings and a very large retirement fund- I will be retired by 55. I started saving and learning how to manage my money when I was in high school, when I started working. I have worked hard for everything I have and do. Call me names all you want. Keep working for your scrapes and come here and complain when you have no money and people look down on nannies in whole. |
Whew - that's a heckuva long day!! |
I have been a nanny for almost 20 years and not all my jobs have been long hours. I do have a spouse and no I have no children. My spouse works long hours too with his job, but he mostly works at home. As far as children I will never have any and not by choice my body decided it didn't want children |
Complete arrogance, your comments immediately turned me off. It's okay to brag about the things you do well, as long as you don't come off looking like you're full of yourself. Learn how to brag in a way that won't make people think you're arrogant. |
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op do something for yourself! I work 15 hrs 4 days a week so my Fri was yesterday. Most true Fridays when I'm off I'm at the spa like I am right now [/quote]
yeah because we can all afford to go to the spa every Friday [/quote]
Ummm Miss eye roll -- if you planned it correctly you CAN. I go every Friday. It's called a budget. Sorry you can't budget wisely. What are you working for -- just paying bills?? I pay all my bills and still have money for a weekly spa trip and a bi weekly massage and dinners out every day. [/quote] why do you do at the spa every friday?[/quote] Depends Sometimes just the different saunas (clay, salt, ice, etc). The whirlpools. Always a nice lunch. Today I had an oil massage and face scrub, it was heaven. But they do all kinds of massages and scrubs as well has hair, manis and pedis. [/quote] I find your comments very arrogant. [/quote] If I am arrogant - than you are jealous. Sorry I budget wisely and know how to spend my money. Oh and to the poster who said I was single. Far from it. I am married and we are very happy. Sometimes he joins me at the spa as well when he can. And before it comes -- cause it will. No he doesn't support me so I can dabble in being a nanny and going to the spa. I work hard for my money and I deserve what I pay for. So stop being jealous. Figure out your expenses. sorry you can't pay for things. maybe you should have thought of that before. [/quote] Sorry but I have to agree that you do come across as being arrogant. Don't criticize others in the same breath as touting your achievements or play "one-upmanship" games. |

Oh ok so I guess I should just say oh thank you for calling me names from the get go. Oh thank you for being mean. Oh thank you thank you for showing the errors of my way when all I said was OP do something for yourself - it will help you. right I will just sit back and let people say things. Sure so I am in the wrong because I can stand up for myself. right oh I mean thank you poster for sharing and I will just say thank you and no more |
| I strongly dislike people that brag about things. There's being proud in what you do, then bragging. People need to learn the difference. |
People who brag about themselves or what they have or how much they have or how much better they are than everyone else usually have low self-esteems and are very insecure. You are right about that. All of that, in my opinion, is a way of getting attention. It's annoying, incessant, and these kinds of people have no appreciation for others. Very drainining to endure their foolishness. I'm with you! |
Here is wha tI posted -- Something nice I get this: yeah because we can all afford to go to the spa every Friday (with an eye roll) I get this when asked what I do at the spa (and only do I SAY WHAT I DO AT THE SPA NOTHING ELSE go look back. Someone asks what I get done and I reply to that) I find your comments very arrogant. Yes, her comment is so stupid. Just because something is within financial reach doesn't mean you should buy it I realize a lot of people are going to say, "it's her own money, who cares???" But from general observation, it seems like women who frequent spa's and beauty salons are also women who aren't ideal relationship partners. Once in a while is fine....4X a year, no problem. but those women who have to "treat" themselves every week or two...those are the women I'm talking about. I bet this girl is def single..... This nanny is delusional and mean. I finally write back saying poster who called me arrogant is jealous and get jumped on like this proud to be a bitch? work bitch utterly stupid some people can be. Lots of money, but no class. So yeah I will defend myself -- you all can say what you want. You can say I am bragging what ever. But really really you all will sit here and jump on one person for defending themselves. |
You would be much easier to agree with (and understand) if your grammar and spelling were correct, throughout all of your bragging posts. |
PP, I'm sorry everyone has been so critical of you. I don't think you have been arrogant in any way. Please just ignore the obnoxious posters. They are jealous because they want what you have but are too lazy to work hard for it. I really admire the fact that you work such long hours and don't complain. You have every right to spend the money you have saved however you choose. Your NF is lucky to have you as you seem to have a very good attitude, unlike many on DCUM who complain constantly about every little thing. |
