[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this is really insulting to me.  I'm a mother, w/ twins and a nanny and a pretty demanding job that our family needs me to keep (and that I enjoy BTW).

I will be thrilled when our kids are old enough to play independently and well, and I encourage my nanny to support that.

I enjoy my children immensely.  I also find them exhausting.  Our nanny makes our life possible and we are blessed to have her.  We make her life possible also.

I don't fit your judgments above and I'm sure the majority of mothers here don't either.  Just as I'm sure the vast majority of nannies are far more rational, loving, and professional that many of the viewpoints routinely expressed here.[/quote]

Mom here.  I agree, but you should read the other thread and you will see where these nannies are coming from.  I get that children's play can be really repetitive, but that thread was just sad. [/quote]

Exactly. Its not as if we made it up, or put words into the mouths of these parents. They said this crap themselves. I don't know why it would be insulting to you, if you weren't on the thread, and don't share their attitude. Many of the MBs who frequent the nanny forum are also on the general parenting forum and at least one of them was on the thread and admitted 1)she hates kids and 2) she hired a nanny to play with her kid so she doesn't have to. We are simply reacting to the hypocrisy of it all. Our job is apparently easy money, and any schmoe off the street can do it, yet these parents can't stand to play with their kids for any length of time. Its laughable.  [/quote]
