[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There is a lot to be said for children (at least, age 3 and above) simply accompanying adults as they go through the various errands of the day... they learn to be patient, [/quote] Children can also learn patience while the nanny takes on more housework at the employer's home. Oh wait....in this situation developing patience in a child is not in the best interest of the child. Clearly, the difference is that something is ONLY beneficial to the child if the nanny is doing something that benefits the nanny. [/quote] +1 This is what I mean. They can learn patience while cleaning toys or loading a dishwasher with nanny. They really don't have to go to CVS to learn patience.. [/quote] Do you have children? Because asking a one or two yo to entertain themselves with their toys and books while you empty the dishwasher is completely different from asking them to stand in line at a store, use an indoor voice, and conduct themselves appropriately in public.[/quote] Yes, I do. And they don't entertain themselves with their toys but help me or nanny to empty the dishwasher. They stand in line in a store with me on weekends. They don't have to do it with nanny. And they don't have to participate in running nanny's personal errands.[/quote]
