Why does a nanny need to be good at math and why is eating popcorn bad?..... What am I missing here other than the fact that she is butt ugly?
She's not hot, what more do you need to know?

I don't think I would want a young hot nanny in my house. It's just not a good idea.

We did the Au Pair deal for 15 years...excellent quality spread. Unfortunately, even the rather unfortunate looking young ladies had some amazingly beautiful friends.

You learn not to look.

Personally, I'm thankful that I don't need to have a nanny look after my most important things in life.....

Very true. I shouldn't have given her a second chance to lie to us again.

We had an Austrian Au Pair, Brita, extremely sharp. I only remember their minds, of course.

Her best friend was a Swedish Au Pair. Her name escapes me because every time I tried to address her I bit my tongue.

Address her? Where were you going to mail her?

Ba-boom-ding!

No wait... better yet... where were you going to put the stamp?

Loser

At least I wasn't trying to lick the stamp

Honestly, the best ones, as Cantdrv55 will attest, become part of the herd.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who hires out the raising of their own children. I would heartily encourage you to encourage your wife to become a real mom - a stay at home mom. If her career somehow became, or always was more important than her kids, you never should have had any. This is no place to do a half assed job, nor is it any place to hire someone to do it for you. Parenting is the single most important job that anyone is ever blessed with. And you only have one run through it to get it right.

My wife is a stay home mom. Its been almost 8 years since she worked. Here's the deal, she doesn't look forward going back to work anymore, but at some point, I really like her to return to the work force. This way, she keeps her mind sharp and stay from all the non working moms. That and itself its sometimes bad *****. Since she's been gone so long, its hard to keep up with the industry. I think she is somewhat afraid to go back and made some noise about starting all over from the beginning. She just doesn't know what type of work yet. Not a good feeling. My plan for her is have a part time job when our little one is in middle school. This way someone is home when they get back from school. They are only 3 and 5 now, so we have a long way to go.
