[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why on earth would an MB lie about how little she pays her employees?  If anything, I imagine people would inflate the amount to seem really generous or something.  Who lies about getting a bargain on an employee?  That doesn't make any sense.[/quote]

+1.  Cheaping out when it comes to your kids is frowned upon among the affluent parents I know.  [/quote]

Maybe because they don't want other MBs to tell them how much they're overpaying and omg they know this great nanny...no she doesn't speak English, but she's so sweet and they could save a lot of money... We see MBs on here ALL. THE. TIME. telling us how all nannies are worth the same, why would an MB who's invested in a pricier nanny for personal reasons want to have to defend that choice? Moms encounter enough judgment as it is.[/quote]

In my experience, the only times the subject comes up is when  a mom wants to hire a nanny and wonders what the going rate is for a comparable nanny or when someone needs to find a job for their nanny.   In both cases, it is appropriate to give a range.  Understating pay accomplishes nothing. [/quote]
