Following on from the Difference between nannys and parents thread I just wanted to say thanks for the positive stories.
It's hard for me to accept that I have to go out to work. My kids' well-being depends on it right now. I know things aren't written in stone and that once things stabilise our choices may be different.
I was absolutely happy with my decision to hire a nanny before I realised that this may impact my kids in a negative way (spurred on by the other thread). Don't get me wrong - I am in no way upset by others' opinions so I am not spoiling for an argument, I am having real reservations.
On the other hand I worked full time after I had DS1 - He was looked after by a Nanny from 5 months old to 15 months old then his granny looked after him until he was 22 months old then a full time childminder. His childcare has had only a positive effect on him, so why am I so anxious about this now?
