I understand how people might not feel comfortable laying out the ground rules. It is kind of strange to command someone to love your kids. We are talking about nanny and not housekeeper.<br /><br />Luckily, my mother helps take care of my kids during the day so it is family, and she has free rein over them. The love and the trust is baked into the pie, as it were.<br /><br />I do agree though, that some of these women are just nutso, like the woman who was upset to tears that her child was potty trained without her, as though the nanny would have been perfectly happy to continue to clean up dirty diapers from a two year old until the mother figured she could fit toilet training into HER schedule. You know dearie, it ain't all about you.<br /><br />If my mother were to toilet train my 17 month old on her own and was successful, I would be ecstatic. No more poopie diapers!<br /><br />One question, why are rich, successful women so neurotic?<br /><br />charoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-65718392822165735372010-02-04T14:15:30.725-05:002010-02-04T14:15:30.725-05:00zdnkljh nklzrejopnk,lyh o/pp mfg n..........avb89z...zdnkljh nklzrejopnk,lyh o/pp mfg n..........avb89zkleuybosuketbk!!!<br /><br />When I get done pounding my head on the keyboard, perhaps I will try to come up with something cogent to say.
