Quote from "Searching for Mary Poppins"

Maybe some of the mothers over at I Saw Your Nanny should read this and then think about it for a bit:

We've decided to let other women help raise our children so that our children
can have better lives; at least that's what we hope for. It's an excruciating
situation, as the nannies know better than anyone since many of them have made
exactly the same decision on a larger scale. We are more like our nannies than
we realize. We're all strung out between the old ways and the new, torn between
the demands of money and the demands of love. They have chosen to give their
children less mothering and so have we. There are bad nannies and good nannies
just as there are bad mothers and good mothers, but it's our similarities rather
than our differences that make the situation so painful.
