[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]19:37, why would you say that?  If a parent needs to show up to work 5 days a week, does that render them uninterested in their children or a bad parent?   Our nanny is one of the primary caregivers in our child's life, and I couldn't be more pleased about it.  I spend exactly 10 hours outside the house Monday through Friday; I have no problems with my choice to be a working parent, and get an hour with my child in the morning, 3 hours in the evening, and all day Saturday and Sunday - it works for us. Your disdain for working parents is strange. And, why shouldn't a parent broach the topic with their nanny, and go ahead with it if all parties are interested? The only reason I can think of for your bizarre attitude is that you must have worked for bosses who treated you poorly... [/quote]

Working 5 days a week doesn't make you a bad parent, it simply makes you a bad candidate for a preschool environment like a coop where the expectation is that parents take a more hands on role in the running of the school. They are cheaper because there is less need for hired labor. I don't have any disdain for working parents. I am shocked and annoyed by the level of entitlement and/or laziness that would allow someone to think it okay to reap the benefits of a coop, while putting the work on their nanny. Forget about whether its fair to your nanny, what about your kid? Everyone else's parents spend time with them at school, but mommy/daddy never do. This sends a message to your kid, whether you intend for it to or not. They are not as important as work. [/quote]
