[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - 22:51 - why do you assume I'm not the mom most of the time or that working parents don't "step up?"  The reason I'm so pressed for backup care is because I only work 20 hours per week so the time I'm there I really need to be there if at all possible.  Also, as I said in the original post I don't get paid if I don't work so while we're still paying our nanny for that time because we respect her guaranteed hours, I'm not bringing in any income to offset that.  I also take plenty of sick days when my kids are sick since they usually prefer to stay home with me, even though they love our nanny.  Not everyone has an unlimited amount of sick time to spread out between myself, two kids and now another adult.  Your comments are nasty and unnecessary.  I don't know whether you're a nanny or an MB but I hope you don't talk to your children with that judgmental assuming tone.[/quote]

Wow you only work 20 hours a week and you need all this help??? My mother and father both worked 50 hours a week and never had a nanny or sitter or backup. The current generation of parents is so lazy, it's no wonder all these overweight under-achieving kids are the result =/[/quote]

Eh, when I was six I stayed home alone after school for two hours after letting myself into the house. That's illegal now. So it's not impressive that your parents worked a lot and never had a nanny or babysitter. [/quote]
