[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never do this but I call troll. Someone is trying to stir up drama about too many caregivers being bad for children. This post doesn't even make sense. Why wouldn't you hire a new nanny unless you don't need childcare in which case why did you have a nanny to begin with. If you are thinking about daycare instead any normal parent would have said "our nanny just left and we are thinking of switching to daycare" not "we are thinking about not hiring another one because its bad for the children." I'm sorry but no MB/DB wrote this. And by the way, it's "TOO traumatic" not "TO traumatic."[/quote]

Ultimately, we all have choices. I can choose not to have another nanny, and it will have repercussions throughout the rest of our family life. 
But I am tired of the officious and demeaning behavior of people whom I have allowed into the hearts of the ones I love the most. [/quote]
What repercussions?[/quote]

Repercussions... Not bad ones, but less income, less stress, less running around like a crazy person trying to make enough to pay a nanny and contribute to our household, all while feeling horribly guilty that I am not taking care of my own children.  My whole point was that anyone can decide to do what I am doing, and reassume the role of being the primary caregiver. It is very freeing to me.[/quote]

Yes of course. Lots of people make that decision every day and if that's what you think is best for your family then that's absolutely what you should do. What doesn't make sense to me is to say you are making that decision because your children are too traumatized when your nanny leaves and you don't want to do that again. Especially since your nanny was only working 30 hrs/week. I have always worked part-time so we have always have part-time nannies. Because of several moves we have had quite a few nannies and neither of my children have ever had any problem with that. If you want to stay home that's great for you but your reasoning just doesn't make sense to me. [/quote]
