[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Nannies do not perform most of the tasks of parenting, so your insult is logically flawed.

How do you perform your parenting tasks if you're (supposed to) doing office work 40-50+ hours a week?

Oh, I know! You're shopping Hanna's online, at the office. [/quote]

You're working hard to troll this thread for a fight[/b], I'll give you that.

Parenting is a 24hr/day, 7 day/week, lifelong adventure. Nannying is a 40hr/week job for a few years.

Nannies are important caregivers, but, like teachers, they are not parents. Those are the facts.

She sure is.

I agree w/ you about the 24/7, lifelong role.  When my kids are throwing up at 2 am it's Mommy they call for and Mommy who comes.  When the nanny is sick or away on vacation they love the backup caregivers and adjust beautifully.

Not to mention that parents cover the costs of childrearing, including hiring/supervising/and paying a nanny.  I hired a nanny who would care for my kids in the way(s) I specify - not however she saw fit.  They eat, sleep, wear, do, what I say - because I'm the parent.[/quote]
You could study the nanny vs sitter thread, and learn a few things.[/quote]

The only thing I'm learning here is not to hire any nanny who is aware of DCUM.  It's far too nasty and skewed a universe.[/quote]
