Moms, how will you react in a situation like this?

they knew right away that i was angry and disappointed. they were sorry and everyhting was settled. i told them i dont want it to happen again. kids are really like that though,accidents are unpredictable also..so kids that age are expected to fall even if utmost care is given.

yes there are nannies that are like that and there are really instances that that would happen because like what you've said,they dont really care as mothers do because its not their own. but sometimes when youre lucky enough,there are nannies who are really sincere in caring for your kids. the best thing to do is just to monitor them,treat them well also so they will feel the same way to your kids and to the family. learn to trust them and never miss the chance to remind them of their duties.

yes,my husband already told them they should have done that. i wanted to take care of my children as well,but i have to work. im a working mom and its hard for me to monitor my kids and my nannies..all i have is trust. so far,my kids are okay..they're happy and perfectly fine and healthy. if given a choice,i would really love to take care of my children personally,but finances cant be handled by my husband alone.

yes it does,but its normal to react in such way. thats it,i trust my nannies. they were there with us for quite sometime already and as far as i can remember it was the first time that it had happened. and yes,i was also thinking how it could have happened when there were two of them watching,but anyway it was an accident..blaming cant bring the time back and prevent it from happening.

yes thats what i was thinking also..that made me angry as well..the thought that there were two of them who watched my kids. but i know accidents do happen anytime no matter how careful you are..we've talked about it already and they were forgiven. my kid was okay as well.

yes i as upset thinking that there were two of them to watch my kids. but anyways,its settled..we've talked it over and everything is fine. i clearly told them that it cant happen again. they know what their duties are and i can see that they are sincere. i treat my nannies as member of the family,i dont want to sound so strict. i want them to feel how i feel for my kids..i should love them as well so they will get better as nannies of my kids.

yes,thank you for the suggestion. but that would be the last thing i'll do when the incident happens again. i know its a great help but as much as possible i would like to have trust in my nannies. you see in our place here in the Philippines,you can seldom see things like that especially in our place.. but yes,i'm open to investing one when it calls for it.

hi hatley,i got your point. what happened to my kid was an accident,as i've said i trust my nannies that much for they were with me for quite sometime and that was the first time it happened and i can see that they sincerely care for my kids. and they are really nice. i was just normally acting as a mom when that happened..who would have wanted to let their kid get hurt,no one right? anyway,i wanted to clear something which you might need to know. your culture in the US you pointed out which probably means that you prefer to take care of your child rather than having nannies take care of them. yes i believe thats the ideal thing to do.. we dont have much of a difference here as well,in fact most of moms here in the philippines i believe does take care of their children personally. i believe im only one of the few who is left with no choice than to work rather than staying at home due to so many financial reasons. i cannot just let my husband work alone because his earnings cannot compensate our financial needs thus forcing me to work instead. having nannies here is not that costly as yours there (i know this thing because i have relatives who live there. i earn enough to pay for my nannies and much more i can help my husband with our finances. of course i do have lots of time to take care of my children..its not what you think of like 24/7 round the clock to work. if given a chance and if given more than enough money to finance my family a lifetime,OF COURSE i will choose to take care of my kids personally and not to hav nannies. hoep this would clear things up. its not how bad i am if thats what you think. thank you for the comment hatley. im glad you do think of that way..its really a great feeling to be a mom and yes i agree that children that age are really enjoyable and cute..and moms should never miss this time to spend with their children.

filipinos are family oriented...so much so that even when they grow up and have families of their own,they still live with their parents. ;)

hi rayne.. you see i try not to get angry too much with nannies since they were there for me for quite sometime and looking for nannies could me harder. but i did show them i was disappointed,indirectly though. i know they've learned enough from that. i was just being a mom,its an initial reaction for us to get angry. thank you for the comment.:)

yes i know,in fact it happened to me also while i was the one watching for my kids,even my husband did. but its a different feeling when that happens from someone else like nannies. im the mom,i know its normal to feel that way. anyway,we've settled that thing already,i took their apology and their explanation..my husband did the confrontation when he went home.
