[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The woman is taking care of your child, for God's sake, so you don't have to do your dirty work. Goodness! I bet you the nanny's going with the OTHER family.... and you're next post will be about how generous YOU always are. We get it.[/quote] You can make that same argument about absolutely any other paid service. The man is painting your walls, for God's sake, so you don't have to, show some respect! The man is conducting open-heart surgery on you, for God's sake, so you don't have to do your own, show some respect! The man is tuning up your car, for God's sake, so you don't have to, show some respect! Just because the service you provide happens to be childcare, it doesn't exempt it from logic and the laws of supply and demand. If the nanny goes with the other family, oh well, there's lots of other nannies out there. The OP can always find another share with a reasonable number of kids (i.e. TWO) that isn't starting to sound like home daycare.[/quote] Horrifying example of her child and the raising of her child, as a commodity.[/quote] Child-raising service IS a commodity, whether you like it or not.[/quote] Thank goodness OP doesn't seem to feel the same way as the above poster. OP values the important stability that working this out, will give her child and the other family. Kudos to you, OP. We love you. -Nanny[/quote] If the service you provide isn't a commodity, why don't you work for free? The stability will only matter for as long as everyone is pleased with the situation. People move on all the time. Two years from now, that share will no longer exist, and be lieve it or not, the sun will still come up every morning, and all the children involved will go on to lead happy lives. [/quote] I have worked for free, thank you. You make yourself sound like the ultimate materialist. Maybe you take pride in that label? By no means do I expect you to know this, but stability IS actually a critical ingredient when raising young children. That's why many parents (and nannies!), will bend over backwards to work towards a longterm relationship. Children pay a price for every major upheaval in their lives. Smart parents do their best to minimize unnecessary changeovers of primary caregivers. [/quote]
