You need to grow-up. Miss Mannah is out-spoken and from what I can tell, honest. It's not a terrible thing. I'd love for her to come nanny my 1 year old son.<br /><br />By the way, you just come off as an immature brat, attacking another person for no real reason. All the things you were bitching about Miss Mannah doing, you did. Stir that pot a bit faster sweetie. One thing you did that she never has...name calling.

That freaks me out just a little bit. Though it is nice to have some on my side for a change. Also, it is against everything I stand for to have anyone tear down the looks of another woman, especially if it is a woman she has never seen. It doesn't matter what stupid things she has said, it is never appropriate to insult her physically.MissMannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111173519948500730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-81783381983924109202012-03-13T06:26:47.649-04:002012-03-13T06:26:47.649-04:00The pot-shots ARIES has been making while missmann...The pot-shots ARIES has been making while missmannah has tried to prove herself being civil only makes ARIES look like an ass.

I wish more parents realized this before they started asking us to clean their house, cook their dinner, run to the store, etc.<br /><br />The Nanny profession is unique in the fact that many families do not see "caring for a child" as a job in itself. If they did, then they would just be happy their child was being taken great care of. But NO!! Instead, they choose to assign chores, errands, and the like only to distract and take attention away from their own kids.<br /><br />Parents: Being a Nanny is tough work. Just caring for a young child is enough labor. Why do we also have to empty out your dishwasher, fold your laundry and take out your trash?? Isn't caring for your children enough for us?????Tired Nannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-47968833792034967512012-03-10T20:58:17.297-05:002012-03-10T20:58:17.297-05:00And also, Brenda K - You're absoloutly right. ...And also, Brenda K - You're absoloutly right.

I could never take her seriously. <br /><br />I do however like Pheonix (the lady with the blonde hair in her picture)who i see on here because she seems smart, mature, gives good insight, etc so i know there are mature people who can be civil but at the same time defend themselfs when needed.Ariesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-63622661632634306382012-03-10T20:49:05.898-05:002012-03-10T20:49:05.898-05:00MissMannah I wouldn't talk.

I did go to the ...Thanks everyone for responding. <br /><br />I did go to the party, but only after writing an e-mail back to the SAHM. The e-mail was basically a "douse the flames" e-mail and the mom responded well. She said she will be a good reference for any job prospects and I was able to leave on good terms. Whew. <br /><br />I wrote my post on ISYN when I was livid, so a lot of the negatives that I had to deal with just came pouring out. I really could have filled pages and pages of ranting. <br /><br />@ MissMannah ...On why I stayed...I was paid VERY well and received a benefits package too. That was hard to give up, but my sanity means more to me. Also I stayed so long because they did help me through some personal issues, but at a certain point...they started taking advantage of me. It's easy for you to say "just leave", because you don't know the whole situation. <br /><br />As a closing note, being a nanny is HARD. I did not ever mean to be a nanny. I wanted to be an elementary teacher. I can't find jobs as a teacher in my current location, so nannying seemed to be the next best thing. Being a nanny is such a personal job. Depending on the situation, you are basically a 2nd or 3rd parent. It's easy for a family to become attached to a nanny and for a nanny to become attached to a family. Leaving is hard, but I think I was able to assert myself and finally move on in a way that was as graceful as it could be. As a side note, I am now working for another family part-time (No SAHM!!) and looking for non-profit teaching jobs. <br /><br />From this experience, I have SO much respect for nannies. <br /><br />Thanks again! <br />-So doneSo donenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-38447163832981956622012-03-10T11:20:04.485-05:002012-03-10T11:20:04.485-05:00MissMannah, go find a hobby.MissMannah, go find a hobby.for the love of godnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-88448671899547647562012-03-09T23:53:13.938-05:002012-03-09T23:53:13.938-05:00I suggest you look up the meaning of passive-aggre...I suggest you look up the meaning of passive-aggressive.

A nanny can do only so much, in terms of the job and guiding the children in terms of behavior. It's upto the parents to meet us half way. <br /><br />If I had been in your position, I would've asked why she had kids if she doesn't want to take care of them, followed by grabbing my things and telling her, "I am sick of the way you and DB treat me. I am tired of the children's disrespect, which I feel is caused by how you treat them. I am upset by your lack of parenting skills and overall laziness.

I'm just guessing you did it because they asked you to, but so what? It doesn't take a freaking year to find a nanny. Look on care.com, we're a dime a dozen! I'm sorry if I'm coming off as mean, but it just frustrates me when nannies allow themselves to be treated so badly. If you knew you hated the job, you should have just left when you wanted to instead of sticking around. I couldn't even find any redeeming factors in this job, unless they were paying you an exorbitant amount of money!<br /><br />PS: Occasionally, yes it is normal for a young child to take melatonin. But only if they are having severe sleeping problems and if the doctor okays it. I'm guessing this was not the case and the mom just didn't want to deal with the kid at night.<br /><br />PPS: Aries, your mother wasn't a perfect mom because she never got a babysitter for yall. That makes her a martyr. It is perfectly acceptable for a SAHM to get babysitters occasionally, especially for date night or whatever.

I think you went above and beyond by honoring her parenting style, especially since you disagreed with it. I know from experience that it is so difficult to do when you can clearly see that their way is not working. <br /><br />About the whole cookie and TV thing, I have experienced that SO many times before too! It's so aggravating. Yes, they are the parents and if they want to give their kids cookies and TV then they can, but it certainly makes the nanny's job SO much harder. <br /><br />I can't believe you stuck around for 2 years but I'm glad you finally quit. Please let us know if you went to the goodbye "party" and if MB had any parting words for you!StrawberryShortKakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616354962777188647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-31814166453900072582012-03-07T19:23:44.036-05:002012-03-07T19:23:44.036-05:00WOW!

You sound like a great career Nanny so I'm sure you went ahead and went to the last day/cake thing. But goodness knows I doubt I could have done it.
