Not all of the quotes came from the looney PP. One of them is mine (about the only children I know) and while I maintain my opinion, I am not the PP you have been arguing with.

12:30, please just stop. PP defended herself from your accusation of putting words in your mouth by showing you which of your quotes she was responding to. You may either stop responding, elaborate on those quotes, or acknowledge your mistake, but we are ALL - nanny and MB alike - tired of your constant badgering of other posters. You have some good points to make, you just need to learn how to make them. Changing the topic every time someone points out you're wrong is not the way to do it.

This. +100.

You are most welcome to speak for yourself, but certainly not for "ALL" nannies and mbs. How ridiculous of you.

I'd love to see either a nanny or an MB, other than yourself, say that I don't speak for them when I say we're all tired of your badgering. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I'll believe it when it happens. (No sock puppeting.)

Who cares? You may be interested in a popularity contest. I am not. Sorry. Sock puppet away!

I don't care if my opinion doesn't match others. But if you say one thing, and afterwards say you didn't, it would be much pleasure to call you on the BS.

Stop being so defensive. Everyone is welcome to share their experiences and thoughts. If you have trouble with that, you have a problem here.

This is a public forum. There is no immunity from criticism and irony just because you're "sharing your experiences and thoughts." Anyone is entitled to take your writings apart, just as you theirs. Then it becomes a question of skill. When you characterize a nanny with a child in tow as a much-needed intervention against selfishness of her singleton charge, you open yourself up to a smackdown.

Stop already with your constant, but useless attempt to put words in my mouth. I said:
One particular Mother (a pediatric psychiatrist), opted for my nanny services, in spite of the fact that I came with my child, and she did not expect any discount.

Your twisting what others say is not a "skill".
It's in fact, lack of skill in your reading comprehension.

Twisting?

Here's what you said on another occasion, assuming you are the nanny of the fabled pediatric psychiatrist:

"Most people understand that an "only child" is often a disadvantaged child, unless parents go out of their way to mitigate the unfortunate consequences of the circumstances. That's why my pediatric psychiatrist employer jump at the prospect of my bringing my child to work, even in spite of my well-established high rates. Some of you wish to repeatedly downplay this reality. "

Again:
"Yes it's more convenient for the parents and their careers and their pocketbooks, so its happening now more than ever. It doesn't change the fact that only children are notoriously egocentric, selfish, and lacking the empathy that comes from having siblings. It's not just a stereotype. ALL of my friends that are also only children, though nice people, have real issues understanding the point of views of others, and thinking beyond their own personal needs and desires. "
http://www.dcurbanmom.com/nanny-forum/posts/list/60/277593.page

Again:
"I had a pediatric psychiatrist hire me when my child was little. She was smart enough to understand that a second child was a huge plus for her singleton child. There was no decrease in my high rates. "

With that, I think your marketing strategy of the nanny+child business model as a value-added service to singleton families aching to raise unselfish children is pretty much documented.

Before being a stay at home mom, I was an elementary school teacher, after school theatre instructor, and nanny. I have my Masters in Elementary Teaching.

Thanks!

Hello OP, what thoughts do you have at this point?
