Didn't you know that the most successful MBs don't have time for this board, duh?[/quote]
I will reserve judgment until I hear some MBs say that they tried this arrangement and it worked for them. Proof is in the pudding.[/quote]
The proof, Einstein, is the child who became the type of adult most parents hope their own children will become, academically/professionally brilliant, but more important are the highly developed social qualities: confident and secure, engaging public speaker and sensitive listener, well-grounded yet inquisitive with an incredibly broad imagination, to name a few.

Considering your narrow mindedness, Einstein, it appears you are missing that last quality, if not more. You lack the ability to see past your own nose with regard to this issue. Why you hammer your 'nanny's child is always a negative' mantra, without ever having any experience with it, baffles the intelligent mind. Perhaps you hated having a sibling and that experience has left you traumatized. I don't know what could possibly be driving you with such negativity towards a concept which you know nothing of. Although that would help explain why you think your personal opinion should be the only opinion expressed. (You're the one screaming "troll" when there's a different opinion than your own, no?)

One typically places more credibility in thoughts of others who have some direct experience with the subject at hand. It's as if you're thinking of traveling to the Middle East, and you have some questions. Which people would you find more credible, the person who's been there several times (and loved the experience!), or the person who's read about it (and lives in fear with the thought of it)? While I may be interested in a discussion with both persons, the one who has actually been there is obviously the only one who is equipped to offer me firsthand knowledge, which is what I prefer to seek, for that is the person who really "knows" what he speaks.

Your crazy is beginning to show.  But I will humor you and address you as if you are reasonable.

First, you have no way to demonstrate that someone's brilliance is in any way related to the kind of nanny they had. If there are studies demonstrating that kids who had nannies with children turn out better, please cite.

Second, I haven't called you a troll and didn't attack you personally.  I have provided several arguments speaking against this arrangement related to transportation, schedule, activities etc. You are welcome to refute them specifically.  What you think of me is irrelevant. Focus on the argument, not the person.

Thirdly, you are correct that people with actual relevant experience of the situation can speak to it with more authority, and that's why I said it would be best to hear from MBs who have tried and enjoyed this arrangement. In the absence of client testimonials, we are left with testimonials of providers who are inherently self-interested. We've heard from the taxi driver, now let's hear from the passenger. It's not up to nannies to love this experience. It's up to MBs.  Let's hear from them. [/quote]
