[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What is good for your kids when I'm at work is still good for them when you're at home. What is bad for them when I'm at work is still bad when you're at home. Now is it your right to relax the rules when you're home. Sure it is. But you should be honest with yourself that it is because you don't have the energy to be on 100% of the time, and you should be able to understand that neither does your nanny.

Sorry, but no. Our nanny is paid to "be on" 100% of the time, just like I am at work. What I do at home, whether I relax the rules, is, as you say, my right. The role of nanny and parent are not equivalent.[/quote]

Really? You never surf the Internet for a moment, make a personal call, or have a chat with a coworker? You don't take a lunch break? As a nanny I get to do none of those things and must be on whenever the kids are awake. Nap time is spent scarfing down lunch, doing the mornings dishes, laundry, and whatever else needs to be done around the house. I eat standing up with a sandwich in one hand and am probably doing something else with the other. I don't resent my bosses for having a no tv rule during the day, and wouldn't use it if they allowed it. However I do think its lazy parenting to expect one standard from your nanny because its what you know is best for them, but you give them less than that when you're in charge. They are the ones that suffer, not me. [/quote]

Exactly. That is what makes that MB a total hypocrite. [/quote]
