[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what?  Kids don't have to destroy cars.  They don't have to create filth or damage things.

You teach kids how to behave, you manage what they have access to in a vehicle and you oversee them appropriately.

This is what a nanny should be doing anyway right?  So if a nanny is doing her job well then her vehicle will be treated with respect.  Mine is.

Mileage reimbursement covers plenty, car detailing is great also, as are protective covers, etc...

But teaching the kids how to behave is the best protection.[/quote]

That's great for you.  I've never been able to teach an infant or toddler not to throw up when they are feeling sick.  Nor have I been able to teach an infant or toddler not to have a blowout that drips down their legs when I take them out of the carseat.  When the parents require that the child eat snack in the car on the way to after school activities and dictate what the snack is, sometimes there are crumbs or other small pieces of food dropped.  When kids have a temper tantrum or meltdown and are tall enough for their feet to touch the seat ahead of them, they kick the seats.  When kids are frustrated with the day at school, sometimes they yank the seatbelt while trying to buckle up.  I've had all of those issues happen, as well as a flyball from the neighbor's yard (charges were playing too, not sure who hit that particular ball) hitting the back window.

This is precisely why I only use an employer-provided vehicle.  They can decide whether to fix the vehicle and how to clean it.[/quote]
