[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here. [b]The economy tanking is starting to hit middle class and upper class families. Whether you care about that or not, it's going to start affecting nanny wages. I don't know if you're sympathetic to that or not[/b], but whatever the case, I suggest you do yourself and the family a good deed and just find another position. Rather than demonize the family- it's always just better to walk away to a more suitable situation. Unless the family all of sudden turned into mean and selfish people, they are not happy about being unable to afford you. I love my nanny like family and always make sure she is paid- even before my other bills. My situation has fluctuated, but I've always put my nanny's pay first. If I had to cut her wage, it would kill me. But, I would understand if that ever happened and she needed to find another position, I would completely be in support of her. She needs to feed her family too. Sometimes I think nanny's don't get that MBs have hard times too.[/quote] And just who do you think its been hitting for the last 5 years???? Sorry, I don't know about OP, but I'm not all that sympathetic that a few stinky rich MBs suddenly can't afford their luxuries. The lower middle class, lower class have been STRUGGLING, out of work, losing homes, etc. So you can't afford a nanny anymore, boo freakin hoo. Put your kid in daycare like the rest of us, and maybe only take one luxury vacation this year. [/quote] Wow! You're nasty and bitter. I hope you're not a nanny and if you are God help those children. You are clearly dense as well. Try watching the news once in a while instead of spewing your rage. If you better directed your attention you'd know that the economy is tanking and that many companies are furloughing employees or freezing new hires. So many people cannot afford their childcare. If you weren't such a stupid and jealous bitch you would know that. Secondly, many regular people use nannies, but too bad they may get someone evil like you.[/quote] Not evil, I just don't have much tolerance for well off people complaining that they have it bad and having the nerve to expect a nanny to be sympathetic. We see time and time again in debates about living wages, minimum wage, etc. on this board that MBs don't give a rats ass about how well their nanny survives on her wages or if she even can. Then you have the freakin audacity to expect the nanny's sympathy when you decide to cut her pay and avoid paying rightly deserved OT, because you're "having a hard time". Just what exactly is so hard about it pray tell? You can't afford the most expensive form of childcare??? And your nanny should be sympathetic? Give me a f#cking break. [/quote]
