[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to get hung up on terminology but any reference to the nanny as "mother" makes it much harder for the actual mother.  Just something to consider...  [/quote]

Why? Its a word. Are you threatened by the word Godmother? Stepmother? Den mother? Stop being so insecure. Your relationship is the your kid should not be so precarious and fragile that it is threatened by acknowledging the other women who also influence and care deeply for them. No one is saying they are the same, but to deny the fact that a nanny plays a mothering role to your kid is simply ridiculous. She does nearly everything that you do, and that doesn't change who you are to them. [/quote]

I'm the PP and a nanny not an MB.  Please calm down - I simply gave my opinion.  [/quote]

Nap here, but you yourself state that these are simply differing opinions so why must you keep directing people to calm down? I didn't see anything in the PP (or the other PP that you demanded "calm down" as well) to indicate the poster(s) were as hysterical and out-of-bounds as you are trying to portray them to be. 
You can't just answer the question? I'll repeat it for the PP, since I'm curious too: Why would referring to someone close to your child as a mother figure make it "harder for the actual mother"? Huh? Only if you are so INSECURE, as PP noted, as to think someone else could take your place as mother, I suppose. Otherwise, how the heck does it "make it harder"? That's bizarre. [/quote]
