I'm going to get ripped apart for this... oh well. I'm entitled to my own opinion but am I the only one that gets super annoyed by the 'Day in the Life' posts on here? I know that is what the blog is for I'm not trying to be rude but I just don't get it... I have wonderful days with my charge and get along beautifully with my MB and DB... they think I do a great job and I love what I do... but I don't need to post it on here to get a pat on the back from everyone about what a wonderful nanny I seem like. Just had to get that off my chest, thanks!

I agree entirely~!
Interesting. I never viewed them as someone wanting a pat on the back for doing their job.
I just though of them as funnly snapshots into the nanny world. No two nanny gigs are the same so it's fun for me to see what my fellow nannies do/deal with during a day.
I agree with Susannah, actually. I enjoy reading the posts and seeing how they differ to my current and past jobs. I find them fun! The wonderful thing about the blog is that you are not required to read or comment on every post-- if it doesn't interest or apply to you, just move on. :)
I have a suggestion. When you see the title, 'Day in the Life', don't read it.
What kind of an idiot reads posts that they KNOW are going to "supper annoy" them?
I enjoy reading them because as a Nanny, I like to see what other Nannies do all day, etc.
Some are pretty boring to read. I wrote one a while back and added some humor to make it fun to read.
I wish others would follow my lead. LOL.
i don't like them either, but that's why i just skim right past them.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this but those Day in the life posts are NOT what ISYN is about, OP. It's for REPORTING bad nannies. And to the people that don't like reading certain posts, I have a suggestion: scroll past it! lol. All these submissions are just "fluff" to fill in the holes for when someone actually catches a nanny doing a terrible job.
The freaking blog is about whatever the blog owners want it to be about.
Go start your own freaking blog if the "purpose" of this one is not freaking clear enough for you.
Wow MaryPoppinPills you are very bitter...
kel r: MPP did not post on this thread. who are you talking to?
Not everyone who reads ISYN is a nanny or parent -- people who are considering hiring, becoming or who are just interested in other careers read this, too.
Kel R,
I believe you have mistaken me for the person that wrote this entry. I am the Blog Owner... the same one you e-mailed last week asking to Publish your Employer Horror Story in the Post dated April 25th.
I think you are missing the point of those posts. They are just a way for other nanny's to share their day. Perhaps they are proud of their job. They are not looking for a pat on the back the are just sharing their day.
i'm not a nanny and I get that.
I agree haha.. i could care less about those posts. I usually skip right over them.
