[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My NF got lucky with me because they can reach me anytime. We often communicate after hours. I don't mind it at all. Luckily I don't hate my NF like the rest of you do, I appreciate the communication and planning we do.

I guess the best thing for everyone would just be finding the right type of family for you. If you are an older nanny why isn't very good with handling a cell phone then you might be better with an old fashioned family. But then if you are a younger more current nanny you could work with a younger family that does things differently.[/quote]

[b]DH is only 28 and LOATHES cell phones and the need for constant and immediate connection.  He carries (when he remembers) and inexpensive flip-phone for emergencies only. I am sure there are nannies out there who simply are not addicted to their phones (like I am).  Age isn't a factor - nor is "old fashioned" a good description of someone who needs solitude and independence.  I actually think that DH is quite avant-garde in his approach. [/b] [/quote]

My sister is like this.  She is only 23 and an artist and needs her privacy and quiet.  She refuses to own a cell phone.  [/quote]

Wow - seriously, I just met a very cool guy, about 28 or 29, who feels the same way about cell phones and he is a graphic artist who works on computers so he is not "old fashioned" at all.  There is something so present about him.  When you talk to him you feel like he is really listening to you.  [/quote]
