OP here- I can somewhat understand where your coming from, but I am sure most if not all nannies who bring their children take a pay cut for it. So it is not an entitlement it is a trade between two people to negotiate price and as you put it "privilege". The point of this thread is not to bash anyone nanny or MB. I respectfully accepted the terms of my employment, and I would not even consider asking my bosses to bring my child. But there are also families who would agree to a share but would not agree for the nanny to being her own child for a pay decrease. So how would you explain that? That seems ill-mannered in my opinion. Idk about the poster who you quoted who clearly had animosity in her response. Buy I do not think it has anything to do with entitlement once it is fairly negotiated.[/quote]
I wanted to comment on your question on why some families would not agree to nanny bringing her own child even for a pay decrease (but would consider a share).  Shares are different in that sense because the nanny is presumed to treat both kids on an equal footing.  In a share there is also no need to have a meeting of the mind on things like parenting philosophies, what is allowed, not allowed, schedules etc. - these negotiations take place between share partners and not employer/nanny.  The nanny just follows whatever the parents have agreed upon.  So it's easier with the share because the personal element is removed from this scenario; the relationship is purely employer/employee with no maternal feelings brought into it. [/quote]
