unpopular opinion?
Okay so yes I’m a bit frustrated about this exact topic right now, but here it goes
Not letting your nanny (your long time, proven very competent and skilled nanny) bring their child to work on school breaks is selfish. You really think your child is needy enough (no special medical needs) to warrant my undivided attention for 9 hours per day?? That’s crazy. I’m just out here trying to make it work financially and this would be a huge relief to not have to pay. I don’t think I’m terribly underpaid but everything is so ducking expensive, why not just help people out when you can. And maybe this is where the most unpopular part is but I’m pretty sure MB will offer to help me pay for part of my child’s care but that feels crazy to me. Like if you guys can pay me more hourly please do but just taking a lump sum of money from the people who pay me for childcare to pay for my child’s care is just so strange. Nice but strange. Like charity and I guess I’m a little prideful?
Editing to say I should have said this *feels* selfish not inherently IS. Also will probably end commenting on this post just because I’ve gotten my yearly dose of arguing with strangers on the internet. I do appreciate everyone’s input. I have not changed my opinion lol
