[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the article, but I do agree that with certain situations, parents ARE allowed to be hypocrites.

For example, I'm not going to whine and fault my employers if kids are allowed to watch limited to no tv when with me and when they come home from a long day of work and are STILL working (whereas I go to my kidless home), they want to put the tv on for a couple hours.

Sometimes, the nannies on this forum come off very entitled to me. [/quote]

I'm a nanny and I agree. I'm being paid to care for children. My only responsibilities while I'm here are the kids and kid related chores. A parent who works full time comes home and has the kids and all the day to day house stuff to do. There are things that are ok for parents to do that simply aren't ok for nanny. For example, if a parent chooses to run in and pick up dry cleaning while the kids wait in the car that's their decision with their children. That is not something I would ever do with someone's children. Now, of course the double standards can be annoying and some parents are just lazy. But there are things a parent can do that I, as a paid employee, cannot do. That's just the way it is. [/quote]
