[quote=Anonymous]The spanking example is so obviously made up. It is ILLEGAL for you to spank another person's child.

If the child were in daycare, the parent may need to compromise on a few things like nap and feeding schedules, CIO etc. because they are dealing with other children as well. But having a nanny is more expensive for a reason - you are supposed to get that specialized care and attention.

Being a nanny does not mean that you get to make parental decisions or challenge the parent's on their decisions. You are simply there when the parent cannot be, to do things as they would do them.

I completely understand how easy it would be to become attached to a child you are spending so many hours with. There is a mutual connection between the nanny and child, you are there to nurse them when they are sick, you often do a lot of the things parent's do, and you would be made of stone not to let that affect you. But at the end of the day, you are the employee, not the parent.

There's a lot of nastiness and defensiveness on this forum, like with the accusations that parent's are absent because they have careers and work outside of the home. I honestly feel that what it boils down to is nannies often feel unappreciated and drained as the job does take a lot of physical and emotional energy.  [/quote]
