[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Governess? Childcare provider? I actually like "nanny" and all of my charges call me "Nanny". [/quote] I would NEVER allow my children to call their nanny "Nanny." We don't call our plumber "Plumber" we call him Dan. We don't call our landscaper "Landscaper" we call him Vito. We don't call our cleaning lady "Cleaning Lady" we call her Ingrid. Why would we allow our children to call someone by their occupation? And what happens if you change professions? Then when they see you out and about are you going to correct them? "No, don't call me 'Nanny' anymore - now call me "Waitress"? [/quote] Interesting the occupations you listed as equal to the person caring for your kids. Plumbers, cleaning ladies, waitresses? I think your post reveals more about you than you know, PP.
