[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one has said that being a nanny is identical to bein a parent.  But when I, as a nanny do everything in my power to give you the easiest possible, most color-by-number version of parenting and you declare that that minimal quantity of effort to just complete what I have set up is too much work, then it's incredibly frustrating.

I am 12:41.  On weeknights, my Mb and DB (and I blamed only MB because that's who we were discussing) have 3 hours withtheir children.  All they have to do in that time is eat the meal I have already prepared, wash dinner dishes and put the kids to bed.  This is a constant struggle.  On weekends, I have leftovers for the kids lunches, and family dinners prepared.  All the shopping for the house and the kids and all grocery shopping, laundry, dry cleaning is done.

If they have any errands, they are related to the yard, home or car repair or personal shopping, which, as a homeowner, I know is a tiny proportion of the actual work of running a household.  The kids have zero screen time on my watch, and they spend very little time playing at home as we are on outings most days, so the kids are ready to just watch tv and play with toys with minimal supervision.  So when it is obvious that the parents--between two adults and in ideal circumstances can't manage to provide a basic level of discipline, then yes, I wonder what is thr point of even trying to give these kids a normal childhood?[/quote]
Like a child, PP, the more you do for them that's inappropriate, the more you have to do you them. So all of your endless efforts are crippling their parenting abilities more and more.[/quote]
