Either about money or how horrible my boss is.

I usually just stick to the ads when looking for a job.

When I'm not on the market I keep clear.

There’s a new forum on this site for “childcare other than daycare and preschool” under “dcum forums.” I assume much of the discussion moved there.

I was wondering this too! I used DCUM years ago and then moved out of state for about 7 years. It seems much less active now than it used to be.

How many times do people need it written out that they should always have a contract, or what's appropriate to ask of a nanny?

Is it always this dead? There's minimal activity, posts are days apart. Last time I was here there was way more activity. Maybe that's why people resurrect 2 year old posts because they are still on the first page of most recent results! What's going on?!?!?
