[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are now 13, 10, and 8.  We've never invited a nanny to a birthday party (and I certainly can't imagine doing so at these ages, nor, by the way, would I ever dream of asking a nanny to shop for my kids' birthday gifts or wrap them).  Our nanny works for us, she's not part of the family or within our close circle of friends; no different than any other day care provider.        [/quote]

Are they or are they not an employee?[/quote]

No, PP, nannies are NOT an "employee" to the children in their care.  They are beloved and you insulted your kids in not including their nanny in their birthday celebrations.  You basically told your little ones that their relationship and feelings don't matter to you.  I am so sad that you cannot see that.

Is this a joke?  Insulted the kids?  What a crock.  A nanny is an employee, and nothing more, like it or not, the same way a teacher who may be beloved is still a teacher and not a family member or close friend.  [/quote]

Wow, PP, you haven't got a clue what is going on in your children's heads or hearts.  I truly do feel so sorry for your children.  [/quote]

+1  There are a few very insecure mothers out there who want so desperately to believe that the woman caring for their children 40 hours a week has no impact or emotional connection to them.  It is very sad.  The mother wants to diminish her child's attachment to his/her nanny out of their own insecurity and jealousy.  MaKes for a very messed up kid.  [/quote]

Actually, there are a lot of clingy nannies out there who don't understand their role.[/quote]
