If one was better than the other, WE WOULD ALL DO THAT, or at least, try.

So, as smart and wise as you may think you are, you are just wrong. It's a bit hard for the nanny to deal but it doesn't damage the kids long term.

My one message to you. Quit being so judgmental. Growing up around judgmental adult figures do hurt kids. Working moms don't.

Good care is what matters most, not so much who's providing it. What we can argue is what constitutes good care...

Yep - totally agreeing w/ the eminently reasonable posters above.

constitututes good care??? Hum SO WHERE TO NOW sounds like you got it now ..!!that's all take to understand your good nanny to care for your child. Be thanks Full and honest with your heart !!

yea you know what I am talking abut? I do not need to worry with your wardrobe malfunction!! You probably know only English there is somebody out there that knows many more languages. i suggest if you can take an additional language class with your time would be beneficiary I wouldn't worry that much about writing English WE do NOT NEED TO HEAR it to make your life easy ! Learn how to understand other human beings besides yourself ,you sound like a little selfish English speaker. it is not important for others because that's the only language that you speak

I mean this to be helpful, truly. You need to work on your written english. Your sentences don't make sense. We don't understand what you mean. If you can find a class, or a native English speaker, to help you with your written english skills it could really help you in the workplace.

Anonymous wrote:I completely understand how draining a work schedule can be, however why do most parents think that schedules such as 7am-6pm , 9am-5pm are normal for a child who needs them? This is not an insult to any parents. These hours are really ridiculous to me. As a nanny I do not mind doing these hours at all, it's just that I feel as if the child needs their mom and dad more than the nanny. When the child and I are in the room with mom or dad it's crazy due to the fact that since the parent feels guilty she/he feeds off of the child clinging on to them. Which makes it difficult to focus on discipline in areas that parents are most concerned about. I'm just curious are any parents it nannies having these same issues?

Bull. You want six months PAID maternity leave plus paternal leave and a cushy work schedule. Those without children have to puck up your slack. Your choice to have children and not the employer responsibility to make your life perfect.

They have 24/7 nanny care. They DONT give a shit about their kids. Only if their friends say something- then magically they do.

Attorneys in DC don't work 8-5. They work 8am until midnight with breaks in between. Weekends, weeknights, vacations, holidays, etc. They work with clients in different time zones all over the world and they work for firms who insist they have full time childcare. They can't pay off the books either. I am in total agreement with the previous poster who stated that parental leave in this country needs a complete overhaul.

I am a new poster, but you're damn right I do. What, exactly, do you think happens to our country when no one reproduces? What impact, exactly, do you think stressed out, overworked, no-free-time parents have on children. As you now, children are the future of our country. It is in everyone's best interest to accommodate what is in the best interest of the children.

Furthermore -- I would advocate for "a cushy work schedule" for everyone, not just parents.

To bad because it isn't going to happen. I have a business that provides my employees with a good living and if they want to continue working for me then they better do the job they were hired to do ON SITE and not whine. I would fire you 8n a heartbeat.

As far as procreation, there is no shortage of procreating women in the USA and most of them do not whine and expect cushy jobs where they do nothing but are overpaid like Federal govt. Employees.
