It's a holiday for me, but it's in my work agreement. What does your work agreement say? [/quote]
Isn't your work agreement legally enforceable? [/quote]

What does that have to do with anything? I don't think this was the OP.

My nanny will be working on Monday even though DH has the day off. She swapped MLK day for another day off during the holidays. It's also nice to have a day off that can be used to get things done around the house that can't be done without childcare.[/quote]

If that's your agreement with your nanny, by all means, but I think its pretty shitty to use your day off "doing things around the house" instead of being with your kids. There are tons of people without nannies, and they seem to get by just fine without needing someone to occupy their children to function. [/quote]

Um ... we're with them all day Saturday and Sunday, and we'll be around on Monday, just doing other things that have to get done that otherwise, the kids would have to sit around and watch us do. How is that fun for them?[/quote]

You know what is fun for kids? Being around their parents. Kids don't care if they have to tag along to the grocery store or target, they generally just like to be included. It must make you feel better, though, to tell yourself that it's for the kids when, in reality, you just don't want the extra hassle. Congrats though, for being able to take care of your children ALL DAY Saturday and Sunday! Parent of the year![/quote]
Who cares what you think of her parenting abilities? She doesn't owe you anything. Think whatever you like. [/quote]
