[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nature of a job is paying someone else to do thing you don't have the time, desire, or ability to do. Welcome to the working world.[/quote]

I'm a MB, and I will bite. I have a nanny for many more hours than I work (I work very part time). Here is why. Without a nanny, I do not have the

1. Time: to spend one-on-one time with all four children every day. Cook a dinner which takes an hour. Go to appointments. Exercise. Nap if the baby was up all night.
2. Desire: to play kid games like Candyland. Go to the park and swing, and swing, and swing. Go to every week of Music Together, or My Gym. Drive, drive, drive. 
3. Ability: to give baths (I can, but I have a bad back, and I specifically hired a nanny to take this chore off my plate. I cannot bend over for even the short time it takes to bathe a toddler without a lot of pain). to come up with "fun" motivations for cleaning or other "have-to-dos." My nanny has an ECE degree; she has lots of ideas for activities I would never come up with.[/quote]

So basically you have outsourced almost the entirety of motherhood to the lowest bidder? Interesting.[/quote]

LOL thats all i could think to reading that so sad[/quote]

Really? All you do all day is play Candyland, swing, give baths, and drive? We do a lot more here.[/quote]

I would say 1) spending one on one time with your children, 2) cooking dinner for your family, 3) taking your children to doctors appointments, 4) playing games 5) going to the park, 6) pushing your kids on a swing, 7) give them baths, 8) take them to music and gym classes .... seems like 95% of parenting to me. But hey, as long as she gets home and remembers to go into their room and give them a kiss as they sleep, and if she has time to leave them an "I love you note" at the breakfast table for when they wake up since they never see her then I guess she is a good mother![/quote]
What you are is you can't read very well.  She said without the nanny she would not have had time to spend one-on-one with all of her four children, take them or herself to appointments, or cook dinner.  Since the nanny is around, she DOES have time to give each child individual attention, take them to appointments and cook dinner, taking care of her family's nutritional needs.  The nannies are so good at badmouthing women who keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables.[/quote]
