fed up of lazy mothers!

[nanny2003]

I work as a nanny and I'm so fed up of lazy mothers who want me to do all their stuff and can't be bothered with their kids! In the last 3 years, I've worked for 4 families with mums that didn't work, stayed home and ignored their babies! The babies would cry when they saw mum, but the mums never picked them up, never took their child out, never bathed their own child. Nothing! I even know parents with 4 month old babies in full time nursery whilst the mum stays at home! Its a bloody joke and I'm fed up of these lazy mares, why have kids if you can't be bothered??

To the op- you are not being unreasonable at all. I 've also been a nanny for a very long time - I had a family where the parents wouldn't change the child's dirty nappy in the morning because they knew the nanny is coming at 8 and she will do it. I felt so sorry for the poor child. That was pure laziness from the parents.

I really don't know any families like this at all, don't think it's usual

But OP sounds like you need a different family.

I think there should be some consideration towards your nanny. If they want to leave the house like a pigsty that's going to be an issue for many nannies.
