[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys hate that i use this word, but I am so relieved to have our manny. We hired someone with no experience, and no education, but the guy who seemed most at ease with us and our then-newborn, and who our dog liked the most. Over three and a half years later DH and I still feel like we made the right decision.

He's traveled all over the world with us for both work or family trips and vacations, he has no drama, gets along with everyone we introduce him to, taught the girls a second language, takes them all over the city to explore all the different playgrounds, isn't phased by changes, keeps the kids happy and the house clean.

No, you're still an idiot.  Who the hell hires someone with no experience or education - male or female - to care for their newborn baby?!  Could he read?  And calling a male nanny a "manny" is ridiculous and insulting regardless of what he calls himself.

You're an attention-seeker, PP, and always have been.  Your posts are always, "Look at me! Look at me!" otherwise you would just write "nanny" and follow with the pronoun "he" when referring to him.  [/quote]

And I am an MB so do not go blaming the nannies for this negative post.  I am sick of this MB and always have been.  She hires some poor immigrant and acts noble about her "manny" - pisses me off.  [/quote]

Wow, so much anger. He refers to himself as a manny. And after the first time this board came down on me for the term, I asked him about it, and he confirmed he prefers that to nanny. Not sure why you think he's a poor immigrant at all. He's not. And he's got experience with kids, just not as a nanny. He came with great character and employer references, solid work history. Not sure why you think I'm acting "noble" - I'm just happy to have great care for my kids while I'm working. Isn't that the goal of everyone who seeks out childcare? [/quote]

IT DOESN"T MATTER WHAT HE CALLS HIMSELF.  You just admitted that he doesn't speak English well or is educated!  "Manny" is pejorative.  If a person calls themselves a "ni**er", or a "ki**" or a "bimbo" - you still do not get to call him/her those names!!!!

I am glad your nanny is working out for you but you are an ass for calling him your "manny".  [/quote]

My nanny is not educated either, but she has the magic touch when it comes to children. She has been with us for 12 years[/quote]
