[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've given all the children I've been blessed to work with nicknames. From "empress" to "lovebug". No parent has complained in 15 years. Reading some of these posts makes me appreciate my former employers even more.[/quote]

If I heard you call my DD empress or even princess I would fire you without discussion.[/quote]

A. How could you be so horrible to a nanny that obviously loves your children.
B. Who are you? You post a lot of remarks like this. You're like the angriest MB on earth. :( [/quote]

There are always the [b]"I would fire the nanny immediately" comments.  So childish and ridiculous[/b].   The working mother needs the nanny for childcare or she can't go to work and the SAH MB needs the nanny because she can't handle her own kids.  No one is going to be fired.  But it makes the posters feel like they have power when they write it.  It is sad and pathetic when you think about it.

I have a feeling it is the same troll - the chick who has never been a nanny and never employed a nanny.  No working mother is going to cut off her nose to spite her face for something so ridiculous as a nickname.  [/quote]

NP, but some people who are paying their nannies really well feel entitled to some certain level of quality childcare and a certain level of "exactly what I want." I mean if you are paying your nanny $12 an hour like most of the posters on this board I can see kind of catering to them and trying to keep them happy in other ways. While I might not fire my nanny immediately as that previous post suggests, with the rate I am paying if I see something I don't like or want changed, even hypothetically what nanny is calling DC, then I will request she change and if she can't I will happily move on to someone better. It's really not hard to find a nanny when you are paying well over $20 an hour.[/quote]

I pay over 20 an hour and I would be afraid that I would lose my wonderful nanny for bringing up something so petty and inconsequential.  The nannies who earn top dollar are also the most desirable.  So I actually see the exact opposite of your statement to be true, PP. [/quote]
