[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know. I'm a nanny, and I get this sentiment. After a 60 hour workweek I love coming home to absolute silence in my apartment and a glass of wine. I also love doing whatever I want on the weekends, even if it's not getting out of bed til noon. I really feel for my MB, who works 55 hours a week and then comes home to take care of her two kids and then spend the entire weekend with them. I know she isn't a natural with children, so it is completely and understandably tough on her!

Now, that's absolutely no reason not to show your nanny appreciation, but maybe she feels like you get it since your with her DC all day. [/quote]

OP here and our situations are different in that it sounds like you are working for a single mother - I am not.  My MB has her husband with her and helping her all weekend long.

I just wish that just once my MB would say that she understands how demanding my job is or even a simple "I know how hard you work and I appreciate it".  [/quote]

no, I have both an MB and a DB. and if somebody wants to roll their eyes at me saying I'm a nanny, fine. OP, I understand where you're coming from. sometimes I feel under-appreciated and it sucks big time, especially considering how much of myself I put into my job. I wasn't saying you're wrong and I even stated that it isn't right when parents don't act appreciative, I'm just saying I can understand how it would be exhausting for the parents to work all week and be "on" with their kids in the evenings and weekends. I appreciate how hard it must be for the parents never to have down time or time to themselves just as they (for the most part) appreciate how I give my all during my work hours and need to recharge my batteries. it doesn't need to be a competition of whose life is tougher. we all work together and we're all tired at the end of the day[/quote]
