Part of the problem here is that DH doesn't think being a nanny really is that hard. I don't know if anyone can relate to this issue with their DHs. I don't think being a nanny is backbreaking labor, but I still distinctly remember how hectic just two kids in the evening was for me when DH was working late, older child was a volatile 3, and younger child was a baby. And, they're my kids, so if I ignore crying or lose my cool from time to time, that's not ideal but whatever. I'm sure my nanny, who is a cooler cucumber than me anyway, feels differently because it is her job.[/quote]

LOL of course you and DH don't think it's that hard or back breaking; you have a nanny who does the bulk of the childcare for you.

[b]Imagine working at a job that offers no benefits, little security, no room for growth and that we all know ends. Imagine you have to care for children who aren't yours in accordance with the ever changing whims of the parents, who may be significantly less educated and experienced with kids than you are. Now imagine your employer wants to add a ton more work but thinks your draining, exhausting, time consuming job isn't hard when they don't spend half as much time doing it. Then the offer a slim raise. Probably doesn't sound so great. And before anyone says that if someone feels that way they shouldn't work with kids, keep in mind the only reason you're able to have a career and a family is because someone is willing to do this work.[/b] [/quote]

Absolutely this. Your DH is a fool. [/quote]

I agree.  Your husband is an ass.  [/quote]
