[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh really?? Attachment issues? Must fire nanny ASAP now before the bond gets too strong because the nanny job ALWAYS ends. Nanny is not going to be around when my baby goes to college.

Better get rid of the nanny now and just be SAHM....

Thanks everyone!![/quote]
The job may end, but the established bond should continue. Isn't that common sense? Everyone knows that [b]well-established bonds that get severed are a horrific thing[/b].

No intelligent parent wishes that upon her own child. None.[/quote]

Horrific? Are you kidding me here? I think this could go in the dictionary next to white people problems. Nannies, caregivers, teachers, grandparents, siblings, friends, and all manner of people with whom "well-established" bonds exist leave everyone's lives.  If it is going to be horrific every time the poor kid you care for is in for a world of hurt (and pathology).

Stop trying to bolster your role in a child's life and stop trying to trick parents into keeping nannies for the mental health of their children. It is natural and healthy for children and adults to learn how to deal with loss and does not inevitably  lead to horrific separation issues or life-long scarring.  Your parroting of this notion on nearly every thread just makes you seem unbalanced and deranged.[/quote]
Just how early in life do you think it's "healthy" for a young child to "deal with loss" of a primary caregiver? Six months? Perhaps twelve months? Wait, please don't tell us. Your ignorance and selfishness are astounding and shameful.  [/quote]

It isn't healthy for a child to be separated from his/her primary attachment figure.  If that is you, then the parents you work for are terrible parents, and they should keep you for as long as possible.  If that is mom (or dad), then the child will be fine keeping that primary attachment and forming other relationships with new nannies/teachers/coaches.
