    • You pay the childrens father to look after them????

      He's the shitty parent, not you. What sort of arsewipe gets paid to do their parental duties? Jesus.

      Do you have any friends who could help you out? Colleagues? I understand your concerns about someone calling CPS on you. Sadly, it could happen. Some people are more concerned with bandaid solutions that addressing the actual problem. But if your children are actually at risk, then they may need to step in a support you in a way they see fit.

      I get how hard it is. And I'm only a nanny, I don't have my own kids. Right now, I'm trying to get a break from having two kids shove cars in my face while screeching, "Look Mel, loooook!" and I could cheerfully slap them, if I didn't have the self control. And I have the luxury of going home to no kids. You don't. I feel for you.

      Can their dad take them for a week? Without being paid for it, I mean. They're his goddamn kids, too.

        • I kinda see what you're saying...

          But I also see that if the roles were reversed, I doubt very much that you would be paid to be the stay at home parent.

          But why even have them at daycare? If you're struggling for money and he's at home full time? It would save a lot. Daycare's expensive. Once again, if roles were reversed...

            • Ok, that's fair enough. I'm not criticising, just trying to understand your situation.

              So why are you paying him? Would he pay you if you were the stay at home parent? It doesn't sound like you're talking about paying him child support because he's the parent with fulltime/primary custody but I could be misreading.

              If he's so willing to criticise your parenting, surely he should do something to help you cope, ie, look after the kids for a week full time so that you can have a break (at least after work) or something?

    • You should talk and be honest to a therapist. They have to keep it confidential or you could sue them for thousands which could then pay for daycare or a Nanny....
