[quote=Anonymous]"cultural appreciation" isn't real. it's all a crock of shit. there's no excuse for having a live-in american nanny unless you're ill, are a single parent and can afford help, or if you have a child with special needs. it's laziness. if you work too many hours, you shouldn't have had kids. or you can stop living above your means and have more time at home with the kids, having an AP is even more. they bring over women with no way out. it's basically a trap. my best friend was basically raised by a nanny who worked 40-65 hours a week. she remembers memories with her "nonny" (nickname) more than her parents. She loves her parents and they have a good relationship, but she does realize they chose to work more than they had to (could have survived perfectly fine with just a salary from the husband). to PP, wow you let her leave 1 hour before midnight leaving her zero time to get to a party or something. I met a German AP at a friends pool in in 2002-2003. She was in her mid 20's and I was in high school. She was miserable. [/quote]
