NYC nanny murder.
Terribly sad, my heart breaks for the family. Makes me so thankful I don't have to rely on another person to care for my baby.

Re: NYC nanny murder.
I knew that somebody was going to say something stupid like that. I just knew it.
NOTHING...because that's the only way something bad won't happen. Oh wait...mothers hurt their children too. You better put the baby in the bubble...away from everybody.
This is a HORRIBLY sad story. The moral of the story isn't that you are so lucky that you don't have to have anybody watch your child. Lord.
I am not even a little shocked. I didn't post about it last night because I knew some idiot would say something similar and piss me off.
I did make the mistake of looking at the mom's blog...I cried.
Keeping Up with the Krims? Or something close...it's in the NYTimes article.
What a terrible thing to say.
The most likely person to kill an infant? A parent.
It's offline now, but it was https://littlemisslucia.livejournal.com/396346.html
It was basically just pictures of her kids doing day to day things. Darling kids, she seemed like a really great mom as well. The NYTimes article said she wrote about spending time with the nanny's family in the Dominican Republic on the blog.
Thank you for sharing this. I was too mad to find something similar.
Comments like this make me so angry!
What a tragic situation.
There. I fixed it for you.
This is what you took out of this tragedy? A self-righteous thought that you are better for being a SAHM? I have a cousin who nannies. She has been with the family for over two years and loves those kids like their own. When my cousin's parents held a fancy dinner for her 30th birthday the parents she nannies for were there to celebrate (I've met them many times, they're lovely people). That is the norm for nannies. And this woman was a SAHM, but she had three kids and the money for help so she had it.... that is typical of her neighborhood. I would have help too if I could. This nanny had worked with the family for years and had a great relationship with them, to the point that the whole family had just gone to visit the nanny's family overseas. I'm curious what caused her to break suddenly and hope the family gets answers.
Wow, really? Wasn't it Kate who just recently said every newbie poster is worse than the previous? I mean, come on, did you not even read the article? I can't even begin to imagine what those parents are going through.

O.M.G. I don't even know where to begin with this, but singling out Kate as the bully?? Hahaha...all or our responses were along the same lines. This should be good.

What would you do if your kids acted like this?
I feel sorry for your kids and husbands.
You are all just miserable bitches, my personal favorite!
Thank you, newbie, for making the SAHM board look bad once again. I like how you talk about how the people who called you out are "bullies". Your comment was insensitive and I'm sure was hurtful to many more working moms than all the other comments were supposedly "hurtful" to you.
By the way it's spelled through not "threw".
How is making an asinine comment like this:
Makes me so thankful I don't have to rely on another person to care for my baby
remotely supportive of other mothers?
You=clueless (at best)
I'm not sure how you get bullying out of this. Your comment was insensitive and self-congratulatory, which is highly inappropriate when in comes to this poor family's tragedy. You were called out on that. That is all.

Did you purposefully use the other spelling of peace for her SN and spell it wrong because she used there and their and through and threw interchangeably? Ha!

My stomach flipped a few times when I read that the neighbor only heard the mothers "blood curling" screams and called the police. I can't imagine finding your children's bodies.
My intent was never to be self congratulatory or any of the other 31 negative comments towards me. After 3 hours of sleep I saw it on the news. Cried. Said several prayers for the children & family. Started feeding baby & checked in with the new board I've come to like. And thought that is weird no one has commented how awful this is... Insert post- Might I translate better since what I typed has not come across well. OMG I'm sick at how sad this is, you trust someone with your children, think you've found the best care possible and then this happens. So sad, I can't imagine the pain of loosing a child at the hands of someone you trusted!! I feel so bad for the family, especially the Mom who found them. I'm so thankful on the eve of this horrible tragedy that I don't have to look my care giver in the eye this morning after 3 hours of sleep and wonder... We've had ppl watch DD, it wasn't a slam to the hundreds of thousands of Mom's who don't stay home (all of my friends fit into that category, I'm the odd ball out that stays home) it was simply my 2nd thought of being thankful b/c I'm a worry wort.
And I stand by my cyber bullying comment. I'm a terrible "newbie" I guess just like the rest of the feeling guilty trying to seek support only to be called a Mommy Martyr newbie.
It's really too bad this is what this post got turned into. It was only to be a place where we could all say how sad we were for the family o this terrible tragedy.
Also, to the "heard it all before" comments. Maybe that's a sign.
Seriously, it's time to just stop and step away from the keyboard.
That, or a DD.
Thank you for this. I certainly didn't mean for what I said to come across that way. That is why I posted a follow up. Hopefully I'll have the courage to stay on this board, but I doubt it. That was blown waaaaaaay out of proportion and never my intent.
Although I do stand by my bullying comments. It was clear from day one on here, I was just hoping I never became a target.

Just because most people on here disagree with your comment does not mean that you're being bullied. As I stated in a post last week, I hate the overuse of the word bully. If you post something as inflammatory as your original post, you can't be surprised by the negative reaction.
Oh you guys, seriously. We didn't need to jump all over her like this. She could have at least been asked to clarify first.
That article ruined my day. I can't imagine a more horrible thing than coming home and finding your kids like that... and having to carry that with you for the rest of your life. It's the most awful thing that could happen to somebody. For PeaceMommy to get all "holier than thou" over this would have been monstrous. I understood what she meant by her comment, even though it was (very) poorly worded.
We all just do the best we can for our families, whether we stay home or not. That mom is a paediatrician... imagine the world of good she does every day for other people's kids... then coming home and finding her own kids like that.... it's an unthinkable tragedy. It's just unthinkable. I think PM understood that and spoke too soon while she was still emotional.
Because mothers/father never, ever get murdered.
Also, ever heard of Susan Smith? Andrea Yates?
Ditto Joyfully. However, if I were PM, I would get a different screen name, lurk for a few days and start over.
