[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL--seriously, I cannot stand how differently the kids behave with MB than with me! And NO, PP, it's not b/c of their comfortability level or the fact that they dont feel "loved" by me. It's the fact that MB's (many of them, not all) let their kids run wild and don't care enough to enforce consistency. The kids know my rules, they know what they are expected to do/act like/behave and there are consequences if not. Simple as that. Ever heard of the word "discipline"?? Guess not.[/quote]

At the end of the day it is hard to discipline a little dumping mini version of you that you would literally die for. Call it what you want, love or lack of discipline. It is the same thing. Still not something to be "proud" of that your charges are better with you. You can/should like that perk of being a nanny but it doesn't make you better than the parents. Plenty of grown ups out there with issues because they were not loved. Not so many with problems becuase they lacked discipline growing up.[/quote]

If you love someone then you should want to discipline them and have them grow up with manners and to be able to do things on their own. Yes, it is something to be proud of that we can get kids that do nothing but whine and make a mess while with their parents to speak nicely and clean up after themselves while with us. Obviously the parents have a hard time doing it, and it is even harder to get someone else's kids to do what an adult asks them to, than if they are your own children. There are many kids that will not listen to what other adults say, but they know they have to listen to their parents. Who said anything about kids not being loved? The nanny cares for them AND disciplines them, it can be done. If you use love as an excuse, then you are just a pushover.[/quote]
