[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  The t-shirts they are trying to sell are incredibly insulting to parents.

I think any parent who would be insulted is either incredibly insecure or full of him/herself. It's no more "insulting" than the shirts that say things like "9 out of 10 kids get their good looks from their grandmas!" or "9 out of 10 kids get their intelligence from their aunts" or "9 out of 10 kids get their kindness from their godparents." If you value your nanny, like we do, you wouldn't mind the fact that your child's personality IS strongly influenced by the nanny. My kids get their creativity from their nanny. If there was an "I get my creativity from my nanny!" shirt and she bought it for them, I wouldn't be insulted.

That said, I think all of those shirts are about as "awesome" as the "My (someone) went to (location) and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!" which is why I personally wouldn't buy.[/quote]

Lady, your kids get their creativity from you or their father. Your nanny is skilled at giving them the opportunity to use and develop their natural talents, but she isn't the source of them.[/quote]

All but one of kids were adopted out of the foster care system, so I guess you could say they get their creativity from the crack-addicted losers who created, abused and neglected them, but we like to believe NURTURE is just as important as nature. Thanks anyway.[/quote]

Schooled![/quote]

lol - Sorry (& thanks). I'm a little sensitive about stuff like that. I had a huge fight with my sister-in-law a many years ago when my oldest did something that reminded me so strongly of myself that I said "Yup! She's definitely mine!" and she actually had the audacity to say "Well, not technically."

Sorry to take it off-topic though. Carry on. [/quote]
