[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was walking with my son this morning and a garbage truck drove by. He said "What's that smell?" I told him it's the garbage truck. I said "If you don't learn your ABCs and reading, you will get a job as a garbage truck and get just a little bit of money. If you study hard, you can have a big desk next to the big window in a tall building like daddy where everything is clean and make lots of money."

Nannies, if you don't like your MBs or what you are getting paid as nannies, go get yourself an education and do something else. You go out and get that job that MBs have that pays $100k. Then you can go out and hire a nanny and pay whatever you think they deserve.

1) As a person you are the scourge of the future generation. Rather, you are raising the scourge of the future generation. There is nothing wrong with being a garbage man and learning your ABCs and reading will not prevent your son from being a garbage man. Your attitude though will definitely prevent your son from developing into the type of person who has compassion, tolerance, and respect for other human beings.

2) You clearly don't understand the American or international economy. Studying hard does not equate to " a big desk near a big window". I am not against studying hard nor education in any way shape or form, but for your child's sake, please educate yourself on the reality of our educational and economic system.

3) Don't teach your child that money is sacrosanct.

4) Many nannies have education. Many nannies have education beyond MB's who make "100k a year". You know why? Because generally, nannies are the type of people who go into careers that help others, whether that is with children, social work, etc. Because of the way our society values time and power, these jobs are not typically well paid. Many MB's - the types of people who more readily hire nannies to care for their children 50-60 hours a week than do so themselves - are in careers that pay more and demand a lot of time, hence the necessity for a nanny.

Please note I am not judging nanny or MB for their choices or anyone else's for that matter. Just saying your logic is a bit circular as well as very rude and uninformed. In addition, most nannies I know, including myself, wouldn't hire a nanny because we see how much parents miss when doing so, in addition to really being able to see the true financial value of staying home with your child when you can.
