[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the issue is that many nannies also help to manage the home. So the groceries have been bought, the laundry has been done, the kids needs have been provided for, and yes, the parents do have weekend things to do, but they have less on their plate, thanks to their nannies, than the nannies themselves have on their to-do lists every weekend.

tl:dr? Parents have very little child related grunt work to do on the weekends because nanny has done that work already. Therefore, tolerance for parental complaints is low.  [/quote]

Here's the problem - not all nannies are the same.  There was a whole thread about nannies who would refuse to do laundry for the child they were nannying.  Obviously OP is different, but to group all parents or all nannies into a single category is ridiculous.

For what it's worth, my nanny has sometimes said things that have rubbed me the wrong way.  I'm sure I've done the same to her.  Sometimes someone will mention it, sometimes we let it go.  OP, you are fine to vent, but I think you are taking the comment the wrong way.  And I'd watch yourself before continuing to complain about your bosses.  If I found out my nanny had that kind of contempt for me I'd find someone else.  I don't need her to think I walk on water, because I'm human, but there better be respect going both ways.[/quote]
