Well then I guess you’re the expert. I’m so happy your nanny and your friend’s nannies enjoy those awesome sidewalks and parks out there in McLean. I’ll be off doing actual activities like going to museums, libraries, the zoo, etc with my charges. [/quote]

LOL who wants to stay indoors now? Btw, we have libraries in McLean, very nice ones.   My children are too young for museums.  I prefer them to have ample time in the fresh air, touching the grass and the leaves, walking in the woods, hearing the birds, putting their hands in the creek, climbing the small hills...I know not everyone is comfortable with that.  Some nannies don't like to get dirty or do too much cleanup for their charges.  [/quote]

Oh, I’m so sorry if you're feeling offended or hurt. That was not my intention. Like I said, I’m sure you’re awesome and so are your neighbors. I’m also sure if you spent more time developing your world, along with your children you would understand what examples are and what etc means. Wandering the woods is a wonderful activity for a child (although if they’re old enough to do that I’m confused how they would be too young for a museum). I just like to incorporate more than one activity into the world of the children I provide care. I mean some parents want exposure to multiple activities and others make excuses.[/quote]

What offense? You're making no sense. First, the suburban parents keep you indoors, then they're spending too much time outdoors? First, you're doing "actual activities" as opposed to walks in the park, and now walks are a "wonderful activity?" You're twisting yourself into pretzels to seem superior and it all looks so silly.

Activities should serve the child.  Not the parents' vanity or the nanny's boredom.  [/quote]

Ma’am, who said you are spending too much time outdoors? Where was it said being outside wasn’t great? You originally listed walking on the sidewalk and going to parks/playgrounds as activities your nanny does. Additional examples for development were listed (as going to the park/playground are a given when you take care of children) and you became defensive. You should try reading and comprehending better. Also, if you are unfamiliar with all the activities geared toward children, toddlers and infants at museums, the zoo, libraries, etc then I don’t know what to tell you. You’re reading what isn’t there and trying to prove who knows what. Like I’ve been saying, I’m sure you’re awesome and so are your neighbors. It’s just a different world in the suburbs with a different mindset of parents. Thank you for continually proving this. [/quote]
