[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief. One of you parents just really have no interest in being parents do you? Please don't balk next time a nanny claims to be the primary caregiver. So many of us truly are, unfortunately. [/quote]

A nanny is working because the parent is working.  You really should consider another profession.  Its not about not wanting to, but if you are required to be at work, you need to be at work.  Not everyone has flexibility like you have to just take off and work what ever hours they choose.  Its easy to grip about parents but maybe you should try it before you pass judgement.  A parent has to put food on the table and a roof over the kids head, therefore they may not have the luxury to stay home.  Can you afford to stay home if you have kids?[/quote]

Sorry, but coops are for parents who don't have to work or their work schedule allows them to come in and be hands on and be involved. It's a communal effort to make these schools run, which is why they're 3x cheaper than regular preschools. Making excuses for why you deserve to send your child to a coop even though you're unavailable to volunteer just makes you look ridiculous and entitled. I've seen a lot of bazare things on this forum, but this really takes the cake. This goes beyond taking advantage of the nanny, this is just making yourself look like a complete ass. [/quote]

No, its not.  Many co-ops allow nanny's and others, such as grandparents.  Ours did.  Its an affordable option to allow preschool and keep the stability of the nanny.  Otherwise, some families cannot pay for both.  Ours allowed others to co-op for us.  I had my mom do it several times when I either did not want to or could not.  Several nanny's did it at our co-op and none seemed to have a problem with it.  On your non-co-op days you get a break so there is a balance.[/quote]

Why is it a nanny's job to do all the work of a co-op just so you can save money?[/quote]
