[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the problem is the numerous inane and petty threads posted again and again. It's just one dumb question after another.

"I need to take a day off to see a doctor so I don't die, is this ok?"

"I missed 14 days of work last month and now it's snowing, do I have to go in?"

"My nanny shit on the rug and didn't clean it up because she said it's not part of 'light housework'. Who has to clean this shit off the rug?"

"Nanny had sex with her boyfriend next to babies crib while he slept. I watched it on the nanny cam she doesn't know about. Should I start looking for a new nanny?"

"Just interviewed a nanny who seemed great but she told me she wanted $22 an hour, can I counter with $10? We can't afford much."

The list goes on and on and on and on.[/quote]

Truthfully, In my opinion is not to engage with the trolls or nasty posters. Making threads like these or responding to every irritating  response only encourages them.  Just report and move on. You also have to be open to the idea that just because someone is  direct and to the point and doesn't spend time coddlling someone  doesn't mean they are being nasty or a troll.

If you are truly looking for solid nanny advice there are other resources. If you like I can share with you.

First of all, huge exaggerations there.

Second, so? All forums have some amount of inanity. Does that give you an excuse to be rude, or nasty? How does it feel? Because kind humans don't speak to others that way, even  anon.

Third, many of the nasty remarks have been about normal nanny issues, like guaranteed hours.

Fourth, you can call out inanity without being a jerk.[/quote]

This one is ironic as well.[/quote]

I'm the OP, and I wasn't attempting to fan the flames or be ironic. I would like this forum to at least be what it was last summer. There's always been shitty posters and there always will be, but as of late, it's been so bad, Jeff even had to come in and clean up one posting about Indian bosses because of the outright hatred. I read other sections of DCuM and it's not as nasty as it has become here, of late. 
I have really honest intentions. I wanted to ask for some very serious, heartfelt advice but I'm not sure it's worth it anymore. But I can't post on the general parenting forum. I'm stuck here with a few decent folks over run by some trolls. [/quote][/quote]
