[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand this desire of working mothers on this board to pay the person you want to love and care for your child as little as possible. Would you be okay with similar working conditions for your daughter/sister/mother? When you hire a nanny, the wage you pay is more than your childcare costs. Its how someone pays their bills and feeds their children. I know you all say it isn't your job to worry about these things but its the reality. What you pay your nanny is what you are asking her to live on in exchange for caring for your baby day after day.[/quote]

At the end of the day, nannies will never love our children like mothers love their children. [b]Nannies did not give birth and nannies did not breastfeed like mothers do.[/b] No amount of money will cause nannies to act more like mothers. Love cannot be bought so if you are saying if I paid you more and you'd act like a better nanny, you are a shrew.[/quote]

So, mothers who adopt or use a surrogate don't love their kids? Mothers who don't breastfeed? For that matter, fathers must not love their kids much either -- they don't give birth to them or breastfeed either. 
You're a peach.[/quote]
