[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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.

Agreed. This makes no sense at all. But, of course, the nannies here always try to inflate rates, so I guess this imaginary logic is another sign of that.

Sure, because reporting on what we have seen firsthand is imaginary logic. You're right, I must have just imagined my MB saying she pays me less than she really does...[/quote]

Or you could be lying, which is the more likely scenario.[/quote]

Or the nanny misheard, or the MB has no idea what she pays the nanny because DH does it.

Also, depending on whether the nanny has guaranteed hours, it may not be so easy to determine what she pays the nanny.  My own nanny chose a high hourly rate rather than guaranteed hours, because she works a lot of OT at time and a half and she thought she'd do better this way.  In passing recently, she said to me "well I make x per year."  She actually makes significantly less than x, in part because she takes a fair amount of unpaid time off and apparently didn't factor that in when estimating her earnings.  [/quote]
You really hired a not-so-bright person, but I guess she loves your kid?[/quote]

She was bright enough to get a master's degree from a good school.  How about you, sweetness?

Obviously, my nanny hadn't spent a lot of time crunching the salary numbers and I'm sure she'll figure out come tax time.  My point is simply that one or both parties in the examp
le here might be mistaken as opposed to lying.  Not sure why everyone on this board always assumes a sinister motive.[/quote]
Your masters nanny can't figure out her income? No wonder "education" is going down the drain. Sorry.[/quote]
