Re: People you don't like...
If it was in true CV fashion it would be "lolz".
CV I adore you. Which is a complete turn around from first tri.
I hate ytik because her wig is so damn perfect
Awwww shucks you guise
Ok, that's enough unicorn kisses. Get back to drinking that hate-o-rade!
I smell bacon.
This will forever be how I picture you in my head.

I smell bacon.
Fucking. Dead.
I am typing this from my grave.
I also just laughed A2 off the boob.
So true
:-bd
Quite possibly ... although CV giving no fucks could still be funny.
May Siggy: Baby in disguise
Oh and @quartermisses is right, you originally said $600 a week.
I went to sleep for an hour and this happened. 77 more comments. GREAT for my first nightly feeding. Who needs a MOTN checkin when this fabulosity is happening?? Not me.
I was simply responding to her retort.
And where have I ever said that paying for childcare doesn't put a dent in our wallets?? That is crazy. When I go back to work, we will have to pay almost twice as much for childcare in a year as we pay for the mortgage on our house. But we think it is important, so we make it a priority in our household budget. My husband and I have jobs with very little flexibility and it is very hard for us to handle unexpected schedule disruptions like sick days. Also, we try to keep our kids in relatively low-risk environments for the first few months, when getting even what seems like a "normal virus" can be more stressful on an infant's immune system. Finally, we appreciate the flexibility that comes with having a nanny come to our house in the mornings--the faster i can get to work and get my hours in, the faster i can get back home to my kids at the end of the day. For those reasons, having a nanny is the childcare option that makes the most sense for us--even if it comes at a somewhat steep financial cost.
And no, my original post said that our previous nanny made 600/week, but we shared her services with another couple, so we each paid her 300/week to watch our kids.
Anamouse--I know this is the thread for Bumpies we don't like. But I have to say that I will always like you, first and foremost because you have a sylvanian animal as your avatar, and I always get ridiculously nostalgic everytime I see that little guy!
EDITED - Son of a bitch it didn't work!!
I always tended to have more guy friends because women fight dirtier and I am not great at verbal or written battles. A place like this where so much can get read wrong, leads me to be more cautious.
Really?! I posted about how our nanny quit the day I was due (a week before we ended up having our son, which meant that I had to scramble for child care for a week at a really freaking miserable time in my life so that I could continue to go to the office...)
We paid $300/week for a shared nanny to watch our daughter from 8 to 5:30 Monday-Friday. When I go back to work, we will be paying a nanny $550 to watch both our kids for the same hours. In what world is this an insane amount of money to pay the person that you trust with the most important people in your entire world? It comes out to roughly $28,000/year for a full-time job. That doesn't seem too obscene in my book.
Hahah good for her for quitting. Probably quit because you kept bitching when she was sick. Good for her. Hope shr works for someone less crazy now.

The level of hate on this board is pretty extreme...
I vented once about her coming to work when she knew she was sick--and passing her virus to both my toddler and (ultimately) pregnant me. I mentioned on that post that she knew she didn't need to come to work sick, since we give her two weeks of sick leave a year to use in exactly those circumstances. Yes, I am so crazy and extreme to not want my nanny to knowingly play with my toddler all day when she has a fever.
She quit to work a job in her major where she could earn double what we could pay her--we were happy for her, even though the timing sucked.

No. You were initially complaining about her inconveniencing you because sbe took a day off and was taking more time off. That was your main issue.
(That gif doubles as a little love for @dh13 due to a shared love for all things owl.)
Thank you for keeping me entertained during the MOTN. LO has been asleep for over 10 minutes...but I couldn't look away!
To answer your question, no I do not think that my wage represents the level and quality of work that I do. We live in a broken system of greedy corporate assholes, clearly evidenced by the amount of bumpies on this board jokingly jumping forward to be your nanny.
Oh and baby101010 has been around for a long time.
