[quote=Anonymous]I've been a professional nanny for three years and have loved most of it, especially working with the infants and toddlers. However, I always seem to end up with MB's and DB's that seem to place time with their kids secondary to their social lives and work lives. I realize the need to work outside the home and needing adult time, believe me. However, it seems many of these parents should have thought of how busy they were before deciding to have kids. I don't mind working extra, but sometimes I feel as though I am raising the kids. It makes me sad for the kids and a little bitter towards the parents to be honest. It's like if I can't work some weekend (like last weekend for example) they end up getting a sitter so they can go out, even though they just got back from an adults only 5-day trip to Mexico where I stayed with the kids the whole time. Yes I got paid extra for it and was grateful, but come on, your preschooler is crying cause you're never around and you went out of your way to adopt him when he was born. What was the point if you can't stand being home with them for even a weekend? I definitely think it's time to move on to a new profession before I become even more bitter. [/quote]
