[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny and I don't think (nor do most reasonable nannies think) that just because a parent is working full time in an office setting that they are "absentee" parents. The family that I work for right now both work about 70 hours a week in a very high powered business setting(though admittedly some of it is at home when the baby is sleeping) but they are great parents. Every moment that they aren't working they are spending time with their child. They are very interactive with him and love him to pieces. They make the time that they spend with him quality time.

I have worked for other people in the past who didn't work as much as my bosses now do. They had so many other things going on in their life, things that they prioritized above time spent with their children. To make matters worse when they did spend time with their children it was not 1-on-1 interaction, it was stuffing their face full of candy and plopping them in front of the television. The mother once admitted me to that she had never once read with their 4 year old (I, of course, read with her on a daily basis). If I had to name one set of bosses "absentee" parents it would be these ones, not my current bosses who work 15 hours more per week than they do.
