+1. I don't get the complaint either. Parents work full time so a 10-hour day for nannies is the norm. Get with it, OP.


Some parents are doing lunch while still working, that way they get home earlier. It still means that they have to get everything done, they can't just leave early whenever they want. And while a commute that is under 15 minutes would be great, most people have 30 minutes+, especially if it's during the peak of rush hour and they have to use the freeways.

+1. I'm a working mom, and if I ever wanted to make over $50,000, it simply requires working 40+ hours per week plus commute usually gets to 50+ hours per week. Most of us working parents also have hopes of sending our children to college some day at a rate or $20,000-$60,000 per year. This requires a lot of early sacrifices on our behalf, like time with our kids in the early years. So, really it becomes a choice of time with our kids as youngsters, or giving them the best chance of success and happiness for the future. Stop judging. This is the American dream- leaving your children better off than yourself.

However, study after study has shown that kids who grow up with working mom vs stay at home mom do pretty much the same in life. Measuring happiness, success, every single other thing. Legions of scientists have done scientific studies on this.
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 !!


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.


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


A. I fixed your placement for you. and B. I agree with the PP that you aren't being understood all of the time. If you want to post on a message board in response to posts in English, it would be nice if the people trying to read your posts could understand. You are welcome to post elsewhere if not. PP suggested something in a non-offensive manner, and you took umbrage. I know, it happens. But the point still stands.
