[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. You just have a stellar nanny, and you have a teacher who knows what you have more than one thing to do in the morning while nanny only has the child.[/quote] What else does OP have to do in the morning that the nanny doesn’t do? [/quote] Presumably, nanny is not showering and getting dressed and packing her own meal while also caring for her charge. She does thise things in her own time.[/quote] And a mother can’t do that before her child wakes up? Honestly, I don’t understand. [/quote] Don’t be intentionally obtuse. OP has a normal workday routine that includes a nanny caring for her child. On Thursdays she is either multitasking all of the above with caring for her child or she woke up an hour earlier than she typically does. Either of those things could lead to a more rushed, flustered and distracted morning for OP. If you don’t believe me, check out all the reports from people who are exhausted and stressed out every time daylight savings time begins and we all collectively lose an house of sleep.[/quote] The nanny gets up, showers, gets dressed and drives over to her employers home to start breakfast, get the child dressed, backpack loaded and gets to school on time. The mother does the same presumably without the commute to her house - she just has to get up earlier one day. And OP didn’t say her kid wakes up earlier on Thursdays. [/quote] Are you really this stupid? On Thursdays, OP would need to wake earlier than she usually does in order to get ready (causing her to be tired and out of her rhythm and therefore making the mornings more difficult than they are for the nanny) or OP would wake at the dame time as she usually does, but would juggle her normal morning routine with getting her daughter ready (making the morning more difficult). The nanny’s normal routine includes that earlier wake time, therefore waking up early enough to arrive at her job on time is not a hardship and should not be throwing her off. Stepping outside of the normal routine makes life harder. This is not a complicated or controversial point.[/quote] Dear God, stop! You make working mothers souls like functional idiots! I have only one child but am not so easily thrown by missing on hour or two of sleep! And handling a schedule change every single week on a given day certainly makes it routine! Please, PP, stop “helping”!!! [/quote]
