What IS surprising (at least to 13:55), is that a pediatric psychiatrist MB would choose an expensive nanny who brought her child to work. [/quote]

I was wondering when you were going to bring this story up.  I was worried that we were going to go a whole week without hearing it![/quote]
Actually it was 13:55 who brought it up. I provided the details of the successful experience. It was a beautiful example of win-win-win, for mb, nanny and most importantly for both children. That mb wrote me one of my favorite reference letters.[/quote]
Actually, I think you are being quite dishonest when you don't point out that the most significant win for YOU was a hefty childcare bill that you got to avoid by bringing your child to work with you. A cursory review of your thoughts on that experience shows that you prefer to focus on saving your MB's child from turning into a selfish, spoiled brat.  Nowhere do you say, "also, I got to save over a thousand bucks a month on childcare."[/quote]
Your ignorant assumptions continue to astound me. I was in a most fortunate position that financially I didn't have to earn a paycheck. I accepted an attractive job offer because I love my work AND I didn't want MY child to become an over indulged selfish person.

Btw, again I support each family's choice to do what they want as long as it doesn't cause their child to suffer.[/quote]
Do you deny that you avoided paying for childcare because you brought your child with you? [/quote]
Are you a lawyer? Lol. You talk like one.

No, I didn't "avoid" paying for childcare because my child came to work with me. As I already told you, I didn't need a paycheck. Remember? If I haven't received such a great offer by parents I really liked, I would not had taken the job. Why would I farm out my own child? I love my established career, and thank God my career did not force me to make a choice between it and my child.

Is that what you are really so angry about?

I'm not an attorney; thanks anyway.

Yes, you did avoid paying for childcare. Your child came to work with you, therefore you did not have to pay for childcare.  Of course the offer was great - it included a childcare freebie for you - something you never mention, preferring instead of focus on the joys of pretend siblings. What made the offer great for you, among other things, is that: you got to save on childcare. You may not have needed a paycheck, but you took the job, yes? For any other job, you'd have to pay for childcare. You got to save on that significant cost because your employer (not your career) allowed you to bring your child with you.

And farm out? Is that what you think of your employers? Did you ever ask your much-degreed MB, "MB, are you happy you FARMED OUT your own child to me?"[/quote]
You have a chip on your shoulder if I ever saw one. You are either an only child or you have one. Don't feel pressured to admit it because no one expects you to.[/quote]
