No, there are many reasons the patients she treats need her services and it's possible that those reasons have nothing to do with their parents or their parent's money.

Secondly, just because a mother is physician who may know a thing or two about some of the qualities of happy and healthy adults doesn't mean she mean she has to pay a lot of money to get a good nanny.

Logic would instead indicate that a smart, wealthy person got that way by not overspending when they can get a quality product for less.

A physician must excel at science but that does not necessarily translate to being good with financial matters. I would not assume a wealthy physician is good with money, only that they are well-compensated for their work.

My preference is to help the parents who truly want the best for their child, not parents who are looking for their next bargain nanny. To each his own.

Yes. Clearly, out of arguments, so time for the slightly wounded haughtiness. If you disagree with me, you must be a bargain hunter. Did you borrow a book on personality disorders from your psychiatrist MB or something?

No worship of money on my part, lol. Please resist your urge to pronounce someone's relationship with money, especially those people who you have never even meet. Perhaps you have an issue with people who are in fact wealthy?
The point here is that they typically can afford more, and better, than those who are not wealthy. It so happens that wealthier families can afford to hire those higher priced nannies if desired.

You don't even know that this person has a nanny.

Are you seriously so self-centered to think that your opinions are the only ones that matter? Come to your senses, woman.

Well, I'm suggesting that you ask other parents so clearly I don't think my opinion is the only one that matters.

But I'll give you, that on the matter of whether nannies with children are more or less marketable than nannies without children, I think that opinions of parent employers matter more than opinions of nanny applicants.

Clearly the opinion of parent employers is more relevant to an inquiry about hiring preferences and marketability than the opinion of one unhinged nanny. Unfortunately, this probably isn't a great place to poll parents, because the behavior of a couple of the nannies on this board has driven most of them away.

Agreed?

Nope. I'm sure your MB would be indispensable for medicating a schizofrenic child, or for treating actual medical illnesses. If pediatric psychiatry was about raising "healthy, happy adults", it would take 8 years of training to get there. You want to look up the difference between psychology and psychiatry perhaps. If you want to provide evidence that children of pediatric psychiatrists turn out happier and healthier than other children, please do so.

I don't get your worship of money. Wealthy people aren't necessarily smarter than us in every single detail. Would you be as reverential to your MB if she was a partner at a la
w firm? It doesn't matter what they do as long as they are rich? What about wealthy trust fund MBs?
