Do I Fire Our Nanny?

3truefans certainly is very curious!

His wife may catch him telling us she is hot, so he is remaining silent, thus providing evidence that she is indeed hot. And was using their pool all summer.
 
Well, since you bring this up, I'll explain myself. I am a grad student and my wife works at a bank-- we are about as far away from pretentious as you can get. It worked out where we could afford to have someone come to our house and babysit our child for the time I am in class for the same price as taking her to an in-home provider. I apologize for using the term "nanny" if you feel "babysitter" would be more appropriate and less "pretentious".

Anyways, just put it out there as a joke but whatever...


Liar, you drink Coors Light....pretentious bastard
 
Her aunt (my sister), a UNI student, gave it to my daughter. It stayed in the closet, thought I'd throw it on her for a nice picture. Also, I generally don't have a problem with UNI, just seem to dislike them today for some reason.

Probably reasons having nothing to do with the recent basketball game, eh?

Also, if you have a UNI shirt (I was going to also say an Iowa shirt, but I know that'll never happen with folks on this board), hide or lock it up as you would a gun or alcohol or something!
 
Dude, answer the ******* question. Post a picture if neccesary.

If she is indeed hot here is what I prescribe. You make the nanny wear the same shirt on arrival and when you get home. That's it. It should be pleasant for you and slightly uncomfortable for you. One little not here: Under no circumstances should the wife see her wearing this shirt.

If she isn't hot then you should have to wear the same shirt all day for two weeks. WTF were you thinking hiring a not hot nanny. That totally defeats the purpose and also fails to create the easily envisioned oh-so-elusive fantasy of millions across the nation.

Can I ask where you found your nanny? Our in-home care provider is probably going to be quitting some time in the next few years, and I'd really like personalized attention for our daughter (she only needs care about 12 hrs/week). I thought about looking into some of the young child education students at the school, but was wondering if you had resources?

BTW - I don't think it's pretentious at all.

I thought about this route when we have our first, we have 3 dogs that go to doggy daycare and combining the costs it might be more economical and personalized to go this route.

That's exactly it - I'm a big fan of Attachment Parenting, and I want my daughter to receive the attention she deserves (I do not ever want her being left to cry it out, which I know must be done when there are lots of other kids). Since our work schedules make it that we only need 12 hrs/week of care, it's way cheaper to do personalized care (since big centers have a minimum). If I can get someone who might also throw in a load of laundry, even better. :)
 
A dog nanny?
Well, the dog thing would just happen as a result of us having a child, a nanny, and 3 dogs. ;)

there are already dog walkers and joggers, and daycare, not a big stretch is it?

WTF is doggy daycare? Really, for your dogs? This is now getting to be pretentious.

I drop the dogs off in the morning, they go play outside with other dogs, I pick them up. People who work with dogs have to do something with them, ours aren't going to be left at home as they get into trouble and I'd hate for someone to steal them.

Her aunt gave a UNI shirt to her--and you failed to immediately remove it to the rubbish? I think there's a little blame shifting going on here.
