Now there's the truth! Thank you.
I am an MB, My half hour lunch at work is unpaid. I have a nanny, I also earn more than my husband, and I live in upper NW DC. My nanny costs only marginally more than daycare would for one child, and will certainly cost less than daycare for two children when I have a second. My nanny is legal and I pay her legally. The limited availability of daycare in this area made my decision to hire a nanny even easier. Stop stereotyping because as you can see, I am both reading and posting here.

until oops, she gone! And onto the next doormat robot you can snag off the street.
Funny how you assume any intellegent mother takes time to recharge while the baby sleeps, but if a nanny needs to, FIRE her sorry ass!
Some of you parents are really a bunch of morons.
Oh the irony. It's intelligent.
By the way, if a nanny doesn't sleep while the baby sleeps it doesn't make her a doormat.

Do you often respond to your own posts?

well, go to sleep earlier instead of posting on DCUM at almost midnight, so you will not need to sleep during work hours. BTW, when I was home on maternity leave and taking care of the baby 24/7, I certainly never slept during the day, I survived because I would go to sleep promptly at 8 or 9 with the baby instead of spending time online (and before you flame me, I never had a nanny, sent my kids to daycare. If I had a nanny, I would not mind her to rest here and there while the baby is sleeping as long as the job is done) .
Isn't there a different forum on DCUM for daycare parents?

You didn't realize what a f'ing slave-driver you are, with your "don't be sittin' when I'm paying you" shit? Now kiss that poor nanny's feet for putting up with you, and beg for forgiveness. A random cash bonus wouldn't hurt either.
