It is what it is ...Parents and Nannies (to be continued )

So am going to talk about a topic that some people choose to tip toe around but not me .I have been a nanny from 2001-2007 and I had a very good experience with one family .I cannot and will not say that its the same for everyone .I have friends who are still in this field and I listen to them complain all the time .Its sad that something so joyful and pleasant turns out so unpleasant and cruel at times .Lets just say that you expect the kids to be the one that gives the trouble when its the other way around .The kids loves and adores  the nannies and the nannies feel the same towards them .Yes when the parents arrive home from work and the kids is still showing the nannies the same affection that was given to them the entire day ,sometimes the parents will feel a little ignored even jealous .Why do they feel this way I don't know ,please don't underestimate your kids parents ,they know who you are and they love you more than you ever know .Then my suggestion is letting the nannies leave to go home immediately from the time you enter the door ,some parents do, but then there are the parents that mean the nannies have to work the exact time they getting pay for which is 8am to 5pm and then complain when the kids are more open to the nannies.When the real question should be, do you want a nanny or a maid ?A nannies responsibility is to take care of the kids but some parents will have the nannies doing all type of stuff that is not in there job description for example ,washing their clothes ,making grocery, signing for packages, parents need to stop being so lazy and you all damn well know these jobs don't have anything to do with the kids  . .Sometimes Nannies complain about the parents having them stay a little longer 15-20mins so they can tell them exactly what they did with the kids for the day ,which is only right. How about the parents coming home a little earlier to hear what the nannies did or calling them during the day to find out how their kids day is going or the next morning. I will continue this topic ,I will try not to be bias...but it is what it is and nothing else
