I actually don't have kids, so yeah.....not resentful of your rich self. I just find it appalling that women who spend their days loving and caring for children are forced to pawn their babies off to a cheapo daycare to care for a privileged white woman's baby. It's just twisted and sad, especially that you don't see the difference between this line of work and others. If I were a teacher, my kids would go to my school. If I were a doctor, I would care for my ill children. No matter what my job, if I could use it to the better of my children I would. If/when I have children I sure as hell will use my knowledge and skills for them, not send them to a daycare that can't hold a candle to me so I can cater to someone else's kid. [/quote]

You're being unnecessarily dramatic.  No one is forced to pawn anyone off.  No one puts a gun to your head and asks you to be a nanny.  You don't want to be a nanny? Go be a detective. Or a heart surgeon. Whatever.  Whatever you do during the day - if you DO something - your kids will be in someone else's care.   Regardless of what you want to believe, there is nothing particularly unique about nannying.  You have a skill and you're selling it.   Do you find it sad that other women are "forced" to use cheap daycare while they flip burgers? Or clean houses? No? It's only sad for nannies? Is it sad that a banker goes to work, leaving her child in your care? No?

Again, if you were a doctor, you wouldn't care for your ill kids 9 to 5.  If you were a lawyer, you wouldn't defend your kids 9 to 5.  You might - occasionally - but that wouldn't be your full-time job, or you and your kids will be resorting to public defenders before too long 'cause you'd go bankrupt. If you were a teacher, you wouldn't teach your kids 9 to 5.  You'd do it occasionally but it wouldn't be your job.  Nannying is a full-time job.  You do it for the money.  Just like lawyers, doctors, teachers or firefighters.

Also, you have an odd obsession with whiteness.  We are a brown family.  We've had nannies, both white and brown.  So?
