This is not major, just disconcerting. Saw a nanny with two children today. Both boys. One boy in a blue ski jacket with grey snow boots on. The other boy in a stroller with a blue fleece hat that latched under his jaw. The nanny was wearing a long black jacket with north face written on the back. The kids were white with olive skin and brown hair. The nanny was black with hair pulled up into a tight, small bun. She had a large gap between her two front teeth. (Not critisizing anyone's appearance, just hoping to help identify). The trip looked to be sort of a time killer as they browsed the aisle sans shopping cart and just milled around. The little boy was looking at thing, picking them up and talking about them. The baby in the stroller was crying. All I heard the whole time I was in the store was that nanny saying *Be Quiet*, *Enough*, *Quiet* and this was said with anger. The baby was only about 5-6 months! The older boy was 3ish. The nanny must have told the child to *Be Quiet* 50 times. She had a real serious tone with her voice, I'd have thought her to be addressing unruly teens. If this is your nanny, you just might want to set up a camera and see how she treats that baby when she is alone with him and he cries.
Did she even try to see if something was bothering the child? Maybe, he was hungry or wanted to be held. That baby is too young to understand be quiet or hush. Come on, they cry because they need something.
ReplyDeleteYeah, at home she probably screams at him to shut up.

ReplyDeleteare you a mom? who made YOU judge and jury?
Gloating over someone else's pain is a sign of stunted character development.
ReplyDeleteOlder babies understand facial expressions when we speak to them, and they understand a tone of voice more than anything. These children will pick up their nanny's tone of voice if the 3 year old hasn't already. OP: would you remember this nanny if you saw her again?

ReplyDelete"You obviously don't enjoy being a mother." That is a judgmental statement.
To the asshole posting on every thread last night, posts which began; "Hi, first of all i would like to apologize for using this website in such a way".
ReplyDeleteGo fuck yourself. We know who you are.
And now I have a job.
IP hunting.
If you see a thin guy with fierce forearms and a ski mask in the shadows, don't bother running- I went to USC on a track scholarship.
I'll see you when I see you.
Yeah I wondered about all that
ReplyDeletePaul the intern-you are an ass.
ReplyDelete"If you see a thin guy with fierce forearms and a ski mask in the shadows, don't bother running- I went to USC on a track scholarship.

Dude go ahead a track MY IP-I fucking DARE you. And then come to my house. My husband would kick your ass back to cyberspace.
And I am NOT the person who made all the fake posts you are on about-but your post is so incredibly assinine it pissed me off because I usually enjoy reading the comments and yours was idiotic.
So last night was done by a woman.
ReplyDelete10:24--we have no idea who did last night. It could have really been mom's son or mom herself or any one else who posts here regularly, or stumbled upon this site for the first time. That's the thing about the internet people often forget. You really have no idea who is posting on the other end of any of it.
ReplyDeleteIgnorance and plain stupidity don't sit well with me. I never suffered fools easily, it's a shortcoming of mine, I admit it and though i've tried, I can't help it. And posts like Paul the Interns really irk me because they tend to rile up people and make them forget the internet is also called The World Wide Web Of Lies. He can no more track someone who does not wish to be tracked than I can make my cat sprout wings and fly. And even if, by some miracle he did get an address then what? Can he really show up and do anything? No of course not. Not unless he wants to get arrested or run into someone like my husband and brother - in -law. That's why I called him an ass. Let him track me. I teach self-defense for women in my town's community center and my husband is an ex Marine. (4 tours) Statements like his are ridiculous and a waste of bandwidth.
Why is Paul the intern bothering you soooo much? It seems strange, eh? If you follow the blog, you know Paul has no connection to the blog, that's just his handle. Or moniker. But the way you go on about your husband being a marine- 4 tours- hmmmmm. And a brother? That seems like a strange come back to a idiotic post by some faceless stranger.
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt whether any male hanging around on a mommy and nanny chatboard/blog all day and night has "fierce" forearms.
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying. From what?
The typing?
I thought it was pretty damn funny myself...
ReplyDeletePeople need to lighten up. That's the problem with the world today- everyone takes everything so personally.
I thought it was pretty funny too. As if.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking mostly the new people don't get 'Paul, the Intern'.
ReplyDeleteThe regulars know he can be very sarcastic (funny and unfunny) sometimes.
It can take awhile to figure him out, but he's harmless. ☺
And 2 much of an idiot to be taken seriously.
ReplyDelete9:36
ReplyDeleteI think you have confused a 'BlackBerry' with a 'Computer'.
Harmless and hot.
ReplyDeleteSee what I mean?
ReplyDelete"Harmless & Hot"?
Don't forget to add "Quirky", lol.
Hey. My comment at 9:48 is unfortunately placed directly underneath MaryPPs comment about Paul. There was another really stupid comment there before (which must have now been deleted, even thought there's no "this comment has been deleted" notice), and I was talking to that poster, NOT ABOUT PAUL.
ReplyDeleteMom
ReplyDeleteAre you calling me an idiot?!
Ha-ha ... j/k
JD removed the post because the dumb-dumb wrote it in text form, which I'm guessing is just about as annoying as 'all CAPS'.
I was wondering why the "comment deleted" didn't show anymore, either. I noticed that the other day.
I just re-read the post again ... OMG, it DOES look like your calling Paul an idiot!
ReplyDeleteAwww, poor guy, but that's such a hilarious faux pas!
You people are so naive, I hope none of you have bred, because you'd would be raising a tribe of future web predator victims.
ReplyDeleteFYI, I wrote that "txtmsg" from my computer. It's as foolish to assume that I used a blackberry as to assume anything else about the author of any other post on here. Including that you can determine their sex, identity, sexual orientation, etc.
Goodness, I hope if any of you have kids you are letting someone else educate them about the dangers the internet presents, because you people clearly don't have a clue.
3:20/deleted txtmsg idiot:
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world do the comments we left on this board about your 'txtmsg' post have to do with "raising a tribe of future web predator victims and dangers the internet presents"?
The BlackBerry reference was called "sarcasm" ... because text messages are usually made with those, not computers.
You call us naive ... I will call you "mindless nincompoop".
☺
Wow, someone let Paul the Intern get to her, she, who needs her ex-marine husband to protect and defend her delicate self, Awwwwwww--- now, isn't that special? What a dope
ReplyDeleteIt's possible that the poster who wrote the lengthy account of mom-neglect was legitimate, and believed that Mom was actually quite a different mom--that is, his or her own. His/her own mom might even have encouraged that view, intentionally or not.
ReplyDeleteBTW, it's actually not that difficult to track IP addresses under normal circumstances, though first you have to have access to them, as Jane Doe does. Presumably Paul the Intern doesn't.
I have to say that I don't like Paul the Intern's posts much. I don't think he's very funny, and the heavy hand seems really inappropriate. Jane Doe does just fine on the policing behind the scenes. Paul the Intern strikes me as something of a loose cannon. I wouldn't want him handling "protection" on my blog.
Oh Sprak and MPP are running off at the mouth again. Now all we need is CaliMom and Ro to start their bitching and the whole ISYN mafia will be ranting at someone else again.
ReplyDeletelike I said, "dope".
ReplyDeletealso, to the idiot at 1253, Paul the Intern is just a poster with a handle and an attitude and it's been long known he has no say so on this blog nor any connection to JD. And the post that was supposedly written by the teenage son who desperately sought "Mom's" attention, was phony.
ReplyDeleteISYN Mafia?
ReplyDeleteIs this a paid position?
I want my cut!
Hostile much, Sprak? No one said Paul the Intern was anything but a poster like everyone else on this page (except Jane Doe).
ReplyDeleteYou know for certain that the "Mom" post was phony how? You wrote it yourself?
What did Jane say?
ReplyDeleteThe "Mom" post was determined to be phony to the extent that it wasn't about "Mom" the usual poster here. That doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't written by a kid who believed his/her mother was posting here as "Mom".
ReplyDeleteThe writer might have assumed it was his/her parent posting, or a parent might have even claimed to be posting and pointed "Mom's" comments out. That makes as much sense (and is as feasible) as an elaborate hoax to discredit isyn poster "Mom".
No one can be certain unless someone claims the posts. Otherwise, it's just speculation.
Let's be real here. The "mom" post was totally fabricated (by who remains to be seen) - to totally discredit and be a joke on her. It wasn't nice and all it did was leave us posters scratching our heads and arguing back and forth over who the real author was; who in the mean time is sitting back in their chair laughing at all of us because it caused the desired reaction.
ReplyDeleteWe'd all be doing ourselves a favor if we squashed it now, and let it go.
