[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's weird that posters here think that nannies can't possibly survive a paycheck delay a furlough would require, yet accuse MBs of being irresponsible for not having six months pay saved up...to pay the nanny.

Hypocritical nannies, I think.

If you saved, nanny, you can wait out the shutdown, exactly as your employer will.[/quote]

Nannies don't make $100k+ a year. They more often fall into the category of "barely making ends meet". You're not really this stupid are you?

You want hypocritical? I'll give you hypocritical. Some classic MB lines:

"How you pay your bills is not your employer's concern. Perhaps you should evaluate your spending or get a better job"
"If you're so unhappy with your job, no one is forcing you to stay!"
"Stop complaining, go back to school, and get a better job!"
"Why do I need to pay my nanny on days I don't need her?" (ie. I've told her not to work)
"Guaranteed pay is a negotiated benefit not a given!" 
"Its not an employers job to worry about if you can survive"
"Flexibility, flexibility, flexibility!!!" Basically, bend over and take it because I'm the boss and I make the rules!

Yeah it sucks right, and its not really so simple, is it?
Maybe you all will remember this when you think its cool to not pay your nanny when you skip town, to require things of her you aren't paying her for, or you let her go with no notice/kick out your live-in because you're afraid of her reaction.
