[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Google "Manufacturing Motherhood". There's fascinating research on a PDF at the Harvard.edu link. I am sharing the above research in response to the snark comments by mothers on the "MB's how do you feel leaving a beloved nanny behind?" thread. A nanny is clearly traumatized by the sudden announcement by her "nanny family" that they are soon moving far away for a new job. This comes in spite of [b]the fact that the Nanny has moved to be geographically closer to the family. [/b] Many Nannies continue to dedicate their lives to their work, while the parents typically have little of no commitment to the Nanny. Why?[/quote] Make no mistake, when you move closer to a job, it is (or should be) out of convenience...not some misguided attempt to show how dedicated you are. Especially in the nanny in question's case.[/quote] You should be especially interested in the Harvard research paper.[/quote]
