[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, remember rich is a relative term.  Compared to other countries and areas of the world, you are "rich."  Whereas, many of us, despite a high income given the cost of living live much more middle class because of it all.  To her you are rich.  However, those comments are not appropriate.

I would flat out tell her its not appropriate for her to ask your daughter to demand you buy her a plane ticket.  You don't buy yourself it and you aren't going to buy her it as an household employee.

As for clothing, I generally have spares and people think I spend a fortune on clothing when I buy major clearance ahead of time.  Kids lose stuff... its reasonable to look for it for a day or two before replacing (we generally keep two coats but I'm only paying $4-8 for a new coat).  Pants, I'd probably replace for a big hole, sew for a small but at this time of year, I'd fix as they will change sizes next year (well, I always have next years now so its not an issue but most people don't).  I'd hand her a thread and needle and ask her to fix it if she handles laundry.[/quote]

Lol patching your kids pants is not your nanny's job. Can't you all do anything your damn selves?[/quote]

You sound bitter and burned out. You should probably enter a new field. [/quote]

Because I think the scope of a nanny's job isn't boundless? I mean sure it can be, but not for what the average DCUM is paying.[/quote]
