[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I note there has been no response to a PP's good question of how it is meaningfully different for a child to watch the nanny do kids laundry versus adults. That's a bit telling.[/quote]

Right. Just like there were no meaningful responses to a few nanny responses in which we illustrated specific ways we spend our time, and how incredibly entitled and unreasonable it is to hold against a childcare provider the fact that she only wants to engage in child care. How dare she not want to make your bed or do your laundry! Perhaps you should demand it of your plumber or your contractor. [/quote]

Well but that wasn't the question.  You said that asking a nanny to do adult laundry "shortchanges" the child.  In a subsequent post you said you correctly pointed out that no nanny on this thread including yourself objected to doing children's laundry.  In your expert opinion, how are they different?  How does one shortchange the child but not the other?  Please enlighten us![/quote]

Laundry is generally done while the child(ten) are napping.
I can't speak for the PP you addressed but I will say for myself that I don't mind at all washing a child's laundry.
I do mind washing the clothes of a person who hired me to care for their child.
I find this to be a very strange request.  I actually asked my MB today whether she would ever want her nanny to do laundry.
Her response was "why would I ask my child's nanny to wash my clothes?"
I don't know about some of you.[/quote]
