[quote=Anonymous]Its not that you are a nanny that is the issue, its the fact that you are working for the wrong families. I think both of the families that I work for have a good life-work balance. One of the parents is always home to put the kids to bed (finish bathtime, ask about kids day, read stories, pre-bed bottle, kiss goodnight ect). They do go out sometimes in the evenings but this is usually after one of them has put the kids to bed. I think adults need adult time too. Also on the weekends they can't wait to do things with the kids, be it a walk to the park, trip to the zoo or just gardening and talking.

I don't really understand having kids if you are never going to see them either. All of my best childhood memories are doing things with my family (like making bread when it rained, or hiking to swim in a waterfall in the summer). I feel sad for these children, and sad that the parents might leave it too late to decide that they really want a relationship with their kids, only to find that their kids no longer want to spend time with them.

I choose to deal with this by working for regular people who have to work (or perceive that they have to work) but want to spend time with their kids, that way I'm not surrounding by something I disagree with, and I think you are less likely to burn out since regular people tend to require less hours
