[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always wanted 2-3 kids and I still do so that hasn't changed. If I've learned anything from being a nanny, it's with my current family. They have twins that are 20 months old now and they STILL wake up multiple times a night and the parent's bring them into bed with them because it's "easier then having to sleep train them". It's absolutely ridiculous and makes nap times a nightmare for me when I'm with them. I know that when I become a parent, I will not take the lazy way out of sleep training.[/quote]

If the parents choose not to do cry it out, so called sleep training, that is their choice. It tells me that they would suffer through the hard nights and naps rather than risk the cry it out. Cave men did not do sleep training. The eastern hemisphere of the world has not heard of sleep training. We may or may not be looking back 200 years ago and think "that was dumb to let all those kids cry it out." It is a risk and it is up to the parents to decide. The fact that it makes 2 hours of your life a little bit harder to get these twins to sleep should not be a factor on how to raise these kids. You are paid enough, if you decide that you are not, you need to quit.
