I usually enjoy snarky humor but I think you lost me (a nanny of 5 years) after describing the "look" of an average nanny. I certainly don't appear that way nor do any of my nanny-friends. I wasn't offended by it. It just surprised me a little. However, I have to agree with the PP who said that iif a db ever mentioned my "bosoms" I wouldn't feel comfortable around him. I am far from a prude but that is just not part of a good work enviroment.Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792145175465896760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-40937146158098501902012-06-12T18:17:26.321-04:002012-06-12T18:17:26.321-04:00Um, yeah, totally random, but "deplorable&quo...Um, yeah, totally random, but "deplorable" is the same in both languages (just pronounced differently).

A good nanny to Fox,but a few nods,smiles,broken English here and there and from what sounds of it, a lot of tears, DB may be looking forward to a new nanny-Maria may also be looking forward to a new placement as well. I can be almost sure of that. No one likes an annoying MB, and she does sound irritating. <br /><br />Daddy Confidential should go write for Cracked.com where being snarky can pay.<br /><br />The only thing I didn't get was Maria being secretive about her hygiene,I'm not sure what that was totally supposed to mean or what it was getting atBeezusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-18830685253613334522012-06-11T00:01:27.047-04:002012-06-11T00:01:27.047-04:00You said it best, Mannah!

I just have time to bang out a few sentences, so I'll try to address some of the recurring comments:<br /><br />1. There was some speculation about my son's actual name. MissMannah correctly sleuthed that "Fox" is indeed his name. All names on my blog are real (unless indicated otherwise).<br /><br />2. I'm not sure how readers inferred anything "misogynistic, demeaning or humiliating" in my post. But that's probably consistent with a blogger labeled as "selfish, elitist, and delusional." Perhaps we should also allow for the possibility that small-minded people have a tendency to narrowly interpret otherwise innocuous writing.<br /><br />3. To OceanBlue – I really like the term "Dick Lick." More like that, please.<br /><br />4. To UmassSlytherin – I totally agree that some people should not be allowed to procreate. In my defense, your mom swore she was on the pill.<br /><br />I am flattered by all of the comments generated by this post! Many thanks to everyone who wrote in with kind words. Thanks as well to those with less kind things to say. I am a big fan of free expression.Daddy Confidentialhttp://daddyconfidential.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-21838159980562767572012-06-10T16:26:22.484-04:002012-06-10T16:26:22.484-04:00re-post for anonymous:
